Double eyelid surgery in a young woman

Even young patients can be candidates for upper eyelid surgery.

This young woman disliked her heavy upper eyes, asymmetry, and excess skin hiding her long lashes. Initially, she thought she was possibly too young for cosmetic eyelid surgery. She sought a plastic surgeon who specializes in eyelid surgery and consulted with Dr. Chaboki, a board certified facial plastic surgeon in DC, to review potential options.

Examination revealed excess upper eyelid skin, which she was born with and that covered her eyelashes. She had ill-defined eyelid creases. Her brow position was appropriate, and she did not have droopy eyelids (ptosis). Dr. Chaboki performed a conservative upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) via local anesthesia to help achieve her goals.

Recovery was unremarkable and she returned to work soon after plastic surgery. She is thrilled with her natural results and reports the eyes feel much lighter.

Look better, not different!
