Question: Is there any surgery that can correct my eyelids?
Answer: The photographs demonstrate significant asymmetry of the upper lids which can be addressed with the upper blepharoplasty procedure. The more full eyelid will require skin and fat removal, while the fat would then be grafted to the more hollow upper lid on the opposite side to make them more symmetric. It’ll never be perfectly symmetrical, just improvement.

Question: Facial hairline/brow/eyelid and more asymmetry-let’s come up with a plan. Thoughts, advice?

Question: Will getting a brow lift pull my eyelid skin upward?

Question: What work could be done to improve the aesthetic of my nose? Also, are under eye fillers right for me?
Answer: The photographs demonstrate a wide tip which can be reduced and refined as long as there is not thick-skin present. Thick skin in the nasal tip prevents refinement in that area. The area in the midportion of the nose can be augmented with spreader graphs placed underneath the concave upper- Lateral cartilages. The dorsal profile is acceptable. All of this can be accomplished with a closed rhinoplasty approach with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. The third photograph demonstrates puffy lower eyelids with herniated fat pads which can be addressed with a trans-conjunctival approach lower blepharoplasty. This involves placement of two small incisions on the inside of the lid and removing the offending fatty deposits creating the puffy look. In our practice, we do not recommend fillers placed around the lower lids for a variety of reasons.
Question: Hooded eyes are making my eyes look small. Will I need an upper blepharoplasty?

The incision is placed directly in in upper eyelid crease. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s desires.
Question: One eye is more hooded and droopy than the other. What options are available to correct this?
Answer: As long as there’s no ptosis present, an upper blepharoplasty procedure can accomplish a nice cosmetic improvement for your upper eyelids. Everyone has some degree of Eyelid asymmetry, and the amount of skin that is removed on each side during the blepharoplasty procedure is always quite variable depending upon the asymmetry. The goal is to make the eyelids look more symmetrical. This procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
