I genetically have “hooded eyes” and I’m not sure what would be best to correct them? I’ve heard of brow lift, but I don’t think that would work in my situation since my eyes aren’t droopy, and my eyebrows are already high up. Would my only option be to do upper blepharoplasty? Answers greatly appreciated!

Answer: What treatment is best to correct my “hooded eyes”? Fullness of the upper lids can be cosmetically improved with a number of surgical options depending on individual anatomy and desired outcome: an artistically performed conservative upper blepharoplasty, a repositioning of the brow if it is low, or a combination of both.In a patient with your anatomy a conservative upper lid blepharoplasty should produce a nice cosmetic result. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do based on a limited photo and more importantly without taking a full medical history, examining… SHOW MORE you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
