When the skin on the upper eyelids becomes stretched and starts to sag, we refer to this as droopy / hooded eyelids. This concern is very common, affecting both men and women as they get older. Droopy / hooded eyelids are a progressive concern that can, in some cases, begin to cover over the main part of the eye and affect vision.
As an ageing-related condition, droopy / hooded eyelids are the result of over-stretched skin. This can occur as the delicate skin around the eyes naturally loses elasticity. Each area of the face is connected when we consider the effects of ageing, and with the eyes, the way the forehead is affected can then impact the eye area. The heaviness of falling brows as the structure of the forehead weakens, can put pressure on the skin and tissues around the eyes, forcing the eyelids to sit in a lower position.
For many patients, the application of contact lenses and / or rubbing irritated or tired eyes over the years can contribute to both the weakening and stretching of the skin in this area.
Alternatively, injury or trauma to the skin on the upper eyelids can lead to the development of droopy / hooded eyelids. Damage to the skin and / or tissues can mean they sag by way of healing, whether this has been left to occur naturally or by way of surgical repair.
