Am I a good candidate for a conservative upper blepharoplasty? (Photos)

Question

My eyelids are beginning to feel heavy as I age and although I know I don’t have a huge amount of loose skin I think I could benefit from a conservative upper bleph (and possibly lower bleph too)

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

Overall, your upper eyelid shape and contour is excellent. Your brow is in good position. You have youthful fullness in your periocular area, but no areas of fat protruding. You have a very minor amount of redundant skin of your upper eyelid, which could be freshened up with a upper blepharoplasty performed under local anesthesia with removal of skin only to maintain all of the youthful volume of your upper eyelid. I don’t see anything in your lower eyelids that I believe would benefit from a surgical approach.  Fractionated CO2 lasering of your lower eyelid skin may give you a slight amount of tightening and refreshing of that skin as well.  Discuss these options in detail with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Your eyebrows are asymmetrical, one is higher than the other and the eyebrows are below the level of the orbital rim. You may benefit from a browlift that would help with the upper eyelid skin and avoid blepharoplasty. A browlift can be done either in the hairline or behind it.
