Droopy eyelids are a common problem that can be solved through a variety of options. These options include surgery or dermal filler. Age, genetics and accidental injuries are all possible treatments. Before you consider any treatment, consult your doctor. We will be looking at the most commonly used options. Below are the benefits and drawbacks of each method.
Surgery
Droopy Eyelid Surgery can be a solution if you are tired looking in the mirror and seeing bags underneath your eyes. Droopy, droopy eyelids are a common problem in both men AND women. Blepharoplasty improves the function of the eyelids and reduces swelling. It can also improve your eyesight and tear production. You'll be able to see more clearly and have more confidence, but droopy eyelids can come back.
Dermal filler
A common cosmetic procedure to correct droopy eyelids is dermal filler. This procedure is done with a 30-gauge needle. It punctures the skin at the lower eyelid. The needle advances in a suborbicularis plane, along the inferior orbital rim. Multiple passes are needed to distribute filler. This feathers it to an even thickness. After filling out the creases gently massage the area.
Nerve damage
Ptosis, or droopy eyes, is a condition that can affect either one eye or both. This can indicate a number of medical conditions such as underlying neurological disorders or trauma. There are two types ptosis: congenital or acquired. It does not matter what the cause may be, but it can be frustrating and embarrassing to deal with.
Weakened muscles
There are a number of different causes for droopy eyelids. There are several causes of droopy eyelids, including age-related muscle weakness, trauma, or congenital weakness. Sometimes the muscles are affected due to a disease like mitochondrial myopathy and myotonic disorder. In others, the levator muscle tendon stretches, which can cause ptosis. Children can also experience this condition after undergoing eyelid surgery or trauma.
Loose skin
A large portion of the population has loose skin on their eyelids, a condition known as dermatochalasis. Although it is more common in older adults and middle-aged people, it can occur in any age. This condition is commonly called "baggy eye". Although droopy, sagging eyelids can be cosmetically unattractive. Excessive skin can have far more serious consequences.
