What can be done about drooping eye corners and hooded eyelids? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I have always had hooded eyelids but they seem to be getting worse. Will this become a problem? Also the corners of my eyes are drooping down now, what can be done? I am in my 30s I do wear glasses for an astigmatism but not contacts. Thank you!

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there, thank you for your question. It seems that you are very suitable for upper eyelid surgery to get rid of excess skin on your eyes. Also, if drooping eye look is bothering you, you can have threads to lift your eye area and this will provide you a younger look.
