Excess eyelid skin is a common manifestation of the ageing process, often occurring due to the natural decline of skin elasticity and collagen production. With age, the skin around the eyes becomes more prone to sagging and forming wrinkles, resulting in the accumulation of redundant skin on the upper and lower eyelids. However, it’s important to keep in mind that other factors such as sun exposure, genetics and lifestyle choices can also contribute to excess eyelid skin.
To learn more about the available options for treating excess eyelid skin, arrange a complimentary consultation at The Greville Clinic today. We’ll assess your skin and create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your skin.
Excess eyelid skin can be caused by a range of factors, but one of the most common contributing factors is the natural ageing process. As a person ages, a reduction in skin elasticity can cause the eyelids to droop and hang in folds, giving the appearance of excess skin. Other causes of excess eyelid skin can include sun exposure, smoking, nerve problems, muscle disorders, and disease or injury.
Heavy or hooded lids can be softened without surgery, and the right option depends on whether the cause is lax skin, lost volume or muscle movement.
relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down allows the brow to sit higher, which opens the eye and reduces the hooded look.
Restoring support above the brow lifts the tissue sitting over the lid, improving the hollow that makes the eye look heavy.
HIFU around the brow and lid tightens the deeper support layer so loose skin over the eye lifts without incisions.
light treatment for thin eyelid skin improves tone and resilience in skin that has become crepey around the eye.
Where the lower lid is also affected, treatment for the under-eye area addresses hollowing and texture below the eye.
an eye lift without surgery firms loose skin on the upper and lower lids with no incisions and no surgical recovery.
needling to thicken delicate skin builds collagen where the eyelid skin has thinned, improving firmness over a treatment course.
Excess eyelid skin can lead to both cosmetic and functional concerns. Here are some of the most common signs and symptoms:
Excess eyelid skin isn’t only a cosmetic concern, as severe cases of excess skin have the potential to interfere with vision and cause other issues impacting day-to-day life. These issues include:
