Will A Brow Bone Implant Create Enough Hooding To Cover My Upper Eyelids?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am inquiring about getting a brow bone implant modeled and performed. Attached are two photos of my eyes currently, I am curious if it is possible to get just enough hooding to fully cover my eye lid at rest without having to squint in photos to pull it off like the first shot. Something similar if possible to the third photo I attached so you see what I mean.

I look forward to hearing from you, I have had so many friends recommend you!

A:Thank you for sending all of your well taken pictures. I am assuming the picture that is posed is the goal compared sure your relaxed natural pictures. Based on this information I do believe that a brow bone implant can get you very close to that. The key in brow bone augmentation for men who are seeking this very typical change is what is the natural position of their eyebrows. The medial half of your eyebrows is reasonably low and that makes it very favorable for your desired change. The tail of the eyebrow is higher and that will not come down as low as the inner half of the eyebrows but in your goal photo the tail is still sitting higher so I believe the goal is still reasonably achievable.
