FAQ & Answers
What causes hooded eyelids and how does upper eyelid blepharoplasty help?
- Hooded eyelids are caused by a combination of aging, genetics, and skin laxity. As we age, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity and can begin to sag, creating a hooded effect over the upper eyelid. Some people are also born with a naturally low or heavy eyelid crease, which often becomes more pronounced over time.
- Upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes the excess skin from the upper eyelid area, reducing the heaviness and hooding to restore a more open and youthful eyelid contour.
