Would I be a good candidate for Upper Blepharoplasty? If not, what options are there? (photos)

January 18, 2022
Asked By:cm101seeking

When looking up before and after’s of this procedure, I never see eyes like mine. I don’t really have hooded eyelids, but my upper eyelids have always been really puffy. And I’m hoping a procedure like upper blepharoplasty would decrease the puffiness. But I’m not sure if I’ll be a good candidate for it, If not, are there any other procedures that could help? Not sure if I really have compensatory eyebrow elevation, but I’m not an expert so I don’t know. My eyebrows are completely relaxed in all these photos, but they are styled with a very high arch which is why they might look “raised”.
