My eyelid became droopy after a face massage. What treatment would you recommend to fix it? (photos)

jen1118May 7, 2014

I went for a facial 4 months ago and it included the face massage. The girl massaged my face really roughly, especially the eyes and the forehead. My eyes, looked droopy, puffy and more sunken in, like she pushed them deeper into the eye sockets or something. What can I do to improve the look of my eyes? My main concern is the droopy look of my upper eyelid, I really want to get it to look how it did before :(

Surgery on the lower lids is tricky business. Once the architecture of the lid has been changed is very difficult to restore it. Nevertheless a canthoplasty Or some variation thereof can restore shape to the aperture in selected cases
