Droopy eyelids can be caused by excess skin (dermatochalasis) or a stretched out or poorly functioning eyelid muscle (ptosis). This can cause droopy eyelids or give a lazy eye appearance. We call this condition blepharoptosis. Bleph means eyelid, and ptosis means droopy – thus, this condition translates to “droopy eyelid.”

This can seem like a shade falling over your eye, limiting peripheral vision and causing a hooded eye. For anyone who has ever had eye puffiness from a stye or an allergic reaction, your vision becomes obstructed, especially your peripheral vision. Having a droopy eyelid is very similar. However, droopy eyelids never go away without corrective surgery and continue to get worse with aging which causes sagging skin and tissue laxity.

The Eyelid Lift Procedure to Lift Your Spirits

If you have dermatochalasis or ptosis, we have a solution. Droopy eyelids are one of the specialties of the oculoplastic surgeons at the Plastic Eye Surgery Associates. Droopy eyelids have been associated with boredom, apathy, fatigue, and illness. Causes that make this condition worse include:

  • Eye Rubbing
  • Contact Lens Use
  • Trauma
  • Aging

Have you ever spoken to someone who has droopy eyelids in both eyes? He or she can tend to look disinterested in a conversation, depressed, sleep-deprived, or even at times seem lazy. Blepharoptosis is an aging problem where your eyelid skin becomes lax and your eyelid muscle stretches out. Thus, it can cause decreased vision, eye strain, dry eye, potential forehead wrinkles from lifting your forehead muscles to pull up your eyelids, and perhaps even headaches.

Out of the many cosmetic procedures available, blepharoplasty or ptosis repair can significantly benefit you in the long run. Your eyelids are the window to your eye, and therefore, your sight.  Having your eyelids in a proper position, without excess eyelid skin weighing them down and with your eyelid muscle functioning at full capacity, is crucial for good vision.

Our corrective procedure only takes less than thirty minutes. The eyelid is numbed with a local anesthetic, an incision is performed within the eye crease, a great natural line to hide any surgical scars, making the scars look like they disappear. Our surgical procedure is simple and quick. We can remove excess skin and tighten the eyelid muscle if needed at the same time during upper eyelid surgery.

Without corrective surgery, some of the smallest problems can cause more significant issues over time. Let’s look into some of them!

Issues Caused by Blepharoptosis

As simple as it may sound, continually straining your eyes to see can have long term effects that you may not notice at first. For instance, neck pain and headaches can occur from not being able to raise your eyelids to see. If you think it’s far-fetched, think about it. Your eyelid muscles don’t work, so you use your forehead to pull up the eyelids.  While this can cause worsening forehead wrinkles, it can also strain the muscles and cause headaches.

Consider if you can’t look up or even straight ahead because your eyelids are too heavy and not lifting. You may compensate by tilting your head back and looking through the lower portion of your eye. Over time, the muscle tension you cause by cranking your neck can strain the neck muscles and develop pain.

The lash line or eyelid margin may look asymmetric if you have uneven droopy eyelids. This can make your eyes look at different sizes, especially if just one of your eyelids droops. Sometimes, it can make you look as if you have a style or eye infection. However, eye drops will not help your eyes stay open in this situation.

This can sometimes be unappealing and cause insecurity with facial asymmetry. The negative appearance can look worse if you also have crow’s feet or dark circles under the eye. Plastic surgery can help in these cases for upper eyelids in both men and women, as well as in children who were born with a congenital eyelid problem.
