Why do I have hooded eyelids and forehead wrinkles at age 15? (photos)

Question

I noticed when I was actually 14, that the top of my eye lids were covered by the skin on top. I looked at other people and realised that this wasn't normal. It makes me look a lot more tired than I actually am. Also the forehead lines I noticed at 14, it could be from making too many weird faces when I was younger. How do I get rid of both of them? (Not Using Botox)

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

there are number of peels and lasers you can do for your forehead without having to use botox.  As for your eyes, you really need an in person consultation with someone to see if these are eye bags, skin or swelling that comes with allergy.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I think you look youthful and should not be too concerned about this and certainly not consider cosmetic treatments at your age. This is entirely normal. Perhaps consider whether you are sleeping enough and whether your water intake (not sugary drinks, tea,coffee etc) is adequate. Addressing these 2 issues may well make a big difference.

Your eyelids and forehead lines are normal and what you inherited from your parents, it's very common .  Keeping up with a good skin care regimen, no sun tanning and not smoking will keep your skin healthy and more youthful as you age.  I don't recommend any invasive treatment.

Marcus L. Peterson, MD · Answer

At 15 years of age you are just seeing what you have inherited from your parents.  Your appearance is not abnormal and it does not look weird.  At this point in time you should take care of your skin by not smoking and avoiding excessive sun exposure.Best WishesDr. Peterson
