Droopy / Baggy Eyelids
Eyelid surgery is a popular cosmetic plastic surgery to remove excess skin, fat or muscle from droopy upper and lower eyelids. There is a difference between a droopy eyelid and a baggy eyelid. A droopy eyelid is low. A baggy eyelid has excess skin and fat. The two often occur at the same time in adults.
As we age, excess skin forms in the eye area, and the skin loses elasticity. Fatty tissue can accumulate under the skin. Your eyes will "look older" because these aging processes leave the eyes appearing tired, wrinkled or puffy. Even with good skincare and eye care, wrinkles, puffiness and drooping eyelids will catch up to you. Genetic factors and body chemistry can cause these aging effects in younger people. Plastic surgery may restore a youthful and refreshed appearance to your eyes.
It is one of the most common eyelid problems. The lid may droop slightly, or cover the entire pupil, which can restrict and even block normal vision. It can be present in children and adults, and is usually treated with surgery.
