Droopy eyelids are a common problem that can be solved through a variety of options. These options include surgery or dermal filler. Alternate treatments include dermal filler, surgery, and genetics. Before you consider any treatment, consult your doctor. We will be looking at the most commonly used options. Here are the disadvantages and advantages of each option.
Surgery
Droopy-eyelid treatment can be an option for those who are tired of looking at the mirror and seeing bags under their eyes. Droopy, droopy eyelids are a common problem in both men AND women. Blepharoplasty improves the function of the eyelids and reduces swelling. The surgery can also improve your vision and tear production. Droopy eyelids may be restored, which can lead to better vision and more confidence.
Dermal filler
Dermal filler is a common cosmetic procedure to fix droopy upper eyelids. This treatment is performed using a 30-gauge needle that punctures the skin on the lower eyelid. The needle moves in a suborbicularis direction, along the inferior orbital margin. Multiple passes are used to deliver the filler, feathering it until it reaches a uniform thickness. After filling out the creases gently massage the area.
Nerve damage
Ptosis is also known as droopy eyelids. It can affect either one or both of your eyes. This can indicate a number of medical conditions such as underlying neurological disorders or trauma. There are two types: congenital and acquired ptosis. Regardless of the cause, it can be frustrating to live with and may even be embarrassing to have for others to see.
Weakened muscles
There are a number of different causes for droopy eyelids. These can include congenital weakness, age-related muscle weakening, and trauma. Sometimes, muscles may be affected by a disease such as mitochondrial dystrophy or mitochondrial myopathy. Ptosis can also be caused when the tendon to the levator is stretched. It can also happen in children due to trauma or eyelid surgeries.
Loose skin
A large portion of the population has loose skin on their eyelids, a condition known as dermatochalasis. It usually affects older adults (usually middle-aged) but can also develop at any time. This condition is sometimes called "baggy-eyes". Droopy eyelids look unattractive and can cause more serious complications.
