Will removing the extra skin on my upper eyelids make my eyebrows droop more? (photos)

Texasbelle
I'm a 50 yr old woman, and I will be getting the bags and extra skin from my lower eyelids removed in the very near future. I am also considering removing the extra skin on my upper eyelids. I've done some research, and from what I understand, if your hooding is caused by eyebrows dropping, that they could drop more by removing the excess skin. Is that true? I can't afford browlift AND eyelid surgery. I can do eyelids only. Your thoughts, kind Doctors?
