Droopy eyelids can develop gradually and may change how alert or rested the eyes appear. With the right approach, the eye area can look more open and refreshed without altering natural expression.
Droopy eyelids refer to excess skin or reduced lift in the upper eyelid area that causes the eyes to appear heavier or more closed. This can affect one or both eyes and may be subtle or more pronounced.
The concern may involve skin, muscle support, or both.
Droopy eyelids can result from age-related skin laxity, weakening of the muscles that help lift the eyelids, or genetic anatomy. Loss of collagen and elasticity around the eyes can also contribute.
Because multiple structures are involved, improvement often depends on addressing both skin and muscle support.
