She had an eyebrow lift instead of upper eyelid surgery. Even
though she complained about the excess skin in the upper eyelids,
the problem was really the eyebrow position.

After her upper eyelid surgery, a peel was used to remove the
wrinkles in her lower eyelids and other parts of the face.
.
Excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids can develop at a young
age, depending on the person's heredity. These attractive eyes
were hidden by the weight of the excess in her upper eyelids.
.
When the excess skin in the upper eyelids is advanced, it can
even obstruct the patient's vision.
.
Not everyone develops droopy eyebrows with aging. This patient
naturally had very high eyebrows that stayed high over time. The
upper eyelid surgery alone was used to remove the excess skin.
.
This result was achieved by raising the eyebrows and performing a
peel of the lower eyelids.
.
Even when the upper eyelid skin is extremely heavy, significant
improvements can be made with the surgery.
.
This patient had an eyebrow lift only.
.
