Am I a Candidate for an Upper Blepharoplasty for Puffy Eyes? What Other Treatments Would Help?

An upper lid blepharoplasty may be indicated in your case. Looking at your photograph you have some upper lid asymmetry with the right upper lid having more skin than the left. An upper lid bleph could be a quick way to give you a more refreshed look.

A lower lid bleph would address the tear trough area but you may wish to wait on this until the area is worse. As always our opinions are no substitute for a visit to your doctor. Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss these issues.
