Best of luck.

My wife also had saggy eyelid skin when she was young. I used to have a photo of her on my piano when she was a teen with very full upper eyelids. The appearance of the upper eyelids at your age is probably due to genetics, not aging. The solution is the same and is usually a surgical solution. Take a look at my wife's surgical steps: minutes, 2 days, 5 days and 3 weeks after eyelid surgery on my website by searching 'surgical steps'. This can be done under local... more
