Droopy or saggy eyelids occur when the skin around the eyes loses elasticity and firmness, leading to a tired or aged appearance. This condition can affect the upper or lower eyelids and may interfere with vision in severe cases. It is often caused by aging, genetics, or sun damage. Treatments aim to tighten and lift the eyelids for a more youthful, refreshed look.
What Are the Causes of Droopy & Saggy Eyelids?
Aging: Natural loss of collagen and elastin leads to sagging skin.
Genetics: A family history of droopy eyelids increases the likelihood of development.
Sun Damage: UV rays weaken the skin and accelerate aging.
Smoking: Tobacco reduces skin elasticity, contributing to premature sagging.
Medical Conditions: Certain neurological or muscular disorders can cause eyelid drooping.
