Can Pulling the Lower Eye Lid Cause Sagging?

August 2, 2011
Asked By:RickyC in Mcallen, TX

I am a 37 year old male. I recently had an eye infection and the doctor pulled my eye lid down for perhaps a good 6-8 seconds to check the infection. Could this cause my lower eyelid skin to sag or stretch? I'm worried. I know the skin there is very delicate.
