Why does one of my eyes have an extra crease/saggy eyelid? (Photo)

alyssagaitan23Feb 15, 2015
I woke up one morning with an extra crease on my eyelid. It is just on one eye . I have tried different creams but nothing helps and it just keeps getting worse! I am only 20 years old. I feel that the eye is usually more tired than the other. I do notice that it gets worse on days that I may not have gotten enough sleep. It feels almost heavy. It really bothers me and I hate how it looks :( is there anything I can do about this?

It's great that you are exercising, but in general, you do want to take it easy for the first 5-7 days after eyelid surgery. The reason surgeons ask patients not to exercise during that first week, is that it increases the risk of bruising, swelling and bleeding behind the eyes. All patients get...
