My eyelids are puffy and hangs down, What can I do?

Question :
I am a Caucasian male but I have eyelids that look more Asian. You don’t see my upper eyelids at all because the skin hangs down. It doesn’t look puffy or wrinkly, just hangs down. How is this fixed?

Answer :
What you are describing does not sound entirely like the result of excess upper eyelid skin.  It may be that you are also suffering from eyebrow ptosis or falling eyebrows.  Upper eyelid skin excess can be treated with blepharoplasty surgery but, falling brows would have to be evaluated and treated with a browlift. A thorough physical examination of your eyelids would enable me to decide which surgery is most appropriate for you.
