Concerns
Droopy
Eyelids
Droopy eyelids can create a hooded or heavy appearance on the upper eyelids. They can give the impression of a sad or tired expression, even when someone is well-rested or happy. Droopy eyelids can also make eyes look smaller or aged. We know this can affect self-confidence.
It’s important that we assess the severity and underlying cause of droopy eyelids. In some cases, there can be non-surgical solutions. The science of tightening eyelids relies on causing controlled trauma to skin so as to stimulate collagen production and thereby improving the quality, thickness and integrity of skin. This can be achieved by micro-needling. Polynucleotides can also improve sagging skin.

aging
For more significant or persistent droopiness, surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may be recommended. These surgical interventions involve removing excess skin and tightening the muscle. The Mayfield Clinic by Dr Nestor can refer you to the appropriate, specialist surgeon, if need be.
