I have always had hooded eyelids and they have become much worse after losing quite a lot of weight, making me look older than I am. Would this surgery give me the significant amount of lift that I’m looking for in order to have a more youthful face? Thank you.

Answer: Would an upper blepharoplasty be effective for me? 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. 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

Answer: Hooded upper eyelids Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photograph. Upper blepharoplasty would enhance the beauty of your eyes; however, it is important to maintain your natural appearance and not over correct the problem. Make an appointment for consultation with an Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options. Good luck,
