Is blepharoplasty the only solution for droopy eyes?

Question:
Is blepharoplasty the only solution for droopy eyes? I am 66 years old and the skin over my eyes droops down too far. Aren’t there any non-invasive techniques that could tighten up the skin in this area?

Answer:
So far, nothing works as well as an upper eyelid surgery to get rid of excess skin of the upper lids. The good news is that the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or with some mild twilight anesthesia and the recovery period from upper eyelid surgery is extremely rapid.
