Sagging outer upper eyelids. Ready for blepharoplasty? (Photo)

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Thank you for your question and photos. It is possible that you’re a candidate for both an upper blepharoplasty procedure as well as a brow lift. These surgeries are often combined to produce more refined results.
An upper blepharoplasty can reduce and tighten excess skin and modify the fat in this area, while a brow lift is performed to lift drooping lids to define the contour of the eyelid crease. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your needs

Thank you for your question and photo submitted. Based off your information provided, it seems that you would be a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty. Though an in-person evaluation is needed, you could also benefit from a browlift with your upper blepharoplasty. This will open up the eye area, remove excess skin, and lift the brow if it has fallen below the brow bone causing additional hooding. IT is important to find a qualified and experienced Board Certified plastic surgeon to do a full evaluation and provide you with a designated treatment plan to reach your desired goals.

Hi there! Blepharoplasty for the upper eyelids can be a great procedure to help rejuvenate the eyes and eliminate a tired look. This procedure can often be performed in the office under mild sedation. Bruising and swelling are expected and results improve over 1-3 months. By performing this procedure alone, I often quote a 75-80% improvement alone. One thing to consider is the contribution of the brow as we age which goes downward - especially to create "hooding" on the sides. The brow lift adds the "icing" to the cake so to speak by pulling the heavy skin above which can't entirely be addressed by blepharoplasty alone. Hope that helps.

Hi. First of all, the skin fold in your crow's feet is not only caused by your upper eyelid. There is also a sagging in your eyebrow. If you do not have an operation that fixes your eyebrow upwards and prevents it from falling, if you only have upper eyelid surgery, you will soon see the excess skin here again and you will realize that your surgery is insufficient. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully.
