The problem of drooping eyelids is usually due to aging processes that increase with age. With the passing time, the skin of the eyelids becomes flaccid and less elastic due to collagen loss and its excess occurs due to stretching. These are natural aging processes that cause us to lose our youthful facial expressions.
Drooping eyelids make the face look older, more tired and sad. Drooping corners of the eyes age us, and sometimes the excess of skin can limit the field of vision.
In some cases, drooping eyelids are not only a cosmetic defect, they may contribute to the development of functional disorders and amblyopia, resulting from obscuring the pupil. Due to the drooping eyelid, astigmatism, hyperopia, as well as squint disease can develop. It can also cause insecurities and lower self-esteem.
Treatments dedicated to sagging eyelids are recommended for individuals who notice:
- Sagging eyelid skin - loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin leading to an excess of it.
- Tired and sad facial expression - drooping eyelids can make the face look older and more gloomy.
- Limitation of field of vision - excess eyelid skin can obstruct the pupil and cause difficulties in vision.
- Feeling of heaviness in the eyelids - eye fatigue, frequent lifting of the eyebrows to improve vision.
- Eye asymmetry - one eyelid may droop more than the other, disrupting facial proportions.
- Deepening of wrinkles around the eyes - loss of skin tension promotes the formation of additional lines and folds.
Treatments can be used both preventively to prevent the problem from worsening, and as an effective way to improve appearance in more advanced cases.
Modern methods of aesthetic medicine allow for effectively reducing the issue of drooping eyelids, improving the appearance of the skin around the eyes, and giving a fresh and youthful look to the gaze. Depending on the chosen method, the following effects can be achieved:
- Lifting of the eyelid and improvement of the eye contour - the skin becomes tighter, making the eyes appear larger and more open.
- Rejuvenation of the gaze - eliminating the appearance of sad and tired eyes, restoring freshness and radiance to the face.
- Improvement of skin firmness and elasticity - stimulation of collagen production makes the skin around the eyes firmer.
