What Can I Do to Improve my Hooded Eyelids? (photo)

February 28, 2013
Asked By:uriellecoco in Little Switzerland, NC

I'm 21 and I find my eyelids to be too hooded, and I look like I have already 40! My mother has the same hooded eye, so as my father. What is the best procedure I can have to get rid of some skin on my eyelid? It is laser a good option? Would you suggest me to wait some years? Thank you
