This very much depends on the exact nature of your issues. It is true that tightening the eyelid skin can resolve some of the eyelid heaviness. However, laser resufacing can’t address the structural issues in the upper eyelid. This includes laxity of the eyelid platform, lash ptosis, eyelid ptosis, and herniated orbital fat. A personal consultation will permit a definitive answer for you.
