Sagging Eyelids

Heavy eyelids occur as a natural part of the ageing process from middle age onwards. They are caused by the loss of collagen in the skin which makes the skin looser, and by structural changes to the face which occur as you get older, for example the shape of the eye socket changing due to bone resorption.

Heavy eyelids can be exaggerated by the dropping of the brow, and in extreme cases can result in the eyelids becoming so heavy that they sit on the eyelashes. Treatment options can be Ultherapy to the forehead to tighten the muscles that lift the brow, or Felc plasma treatment to remove excess tissue.
