Hooded/baggy Eyelids

Baggy or hooded eyelids are often one of the more obvious signs of ageing and are commonly characterised by drooping or sagging skin around the eye area. As we age, our skin gradually loses its elasticity and begins to sag, but the effect is most obvious on our face — especially around the eyes.

Baggy or hooded eyelids are caused by a number of factors including age and skin damage. As we age, we lose collagen and elastin in the skin, causing it to sag and look wrinkled. This is especially apparent in the eye area as it is an area which is moving all the time due to us blinking, squinting and smiling throughout the day. Addressing this excess skin and improving its elasticity is key to the treatment of baggy eyelids. 

The body can also lose fat in the ageing process and this leads to hollow areas on the face which can make us look older. Our bones also lose density and when combined with this depletion of fat cells, can leave skin looking less plump and healthy. When combined with a reduction of skin quality, the eye area can be left looking tired, hollow and saggy. 

There are many of options for topical treatments and it can be all a little overwhelming for consumers to assess what actually works. We are able to not only offer some award-winning skincare and in-clinic treatments which have been proven to improve the appearance of the eye area, but also if you are looking for the surgical approach, we have two highly experienced surgeons who can offer blepharoplasty.

If you are bothered by hooded, drooping eyelids or sagging, wrinkled skin around your eyes, we have options depending on your preference that can improve these issues.

FAQ

Depending whether you want to go down the surgical or non-surgical route, you really need to have a consultation with either of our surgeons or a doctor to have a better idea of this. Information on this page and via the treatment links above will give you a better understanding of the technology and what each treatment entails. We do encourage you to read all relevant FAQs. However, only after consultation, can a tailored treatment plan be devised. You can then go home and have some thinking time, before committing to any procedure.

Surgery is ultimately the most best way to correct hooded eyelids as it actually removes the excess skin and any fat rather than using a skin tightening device or product. No procedure is ever guaranteed, but plastic surgery is the most instant and quickest route. Surgery only takes up to an hour and all consultations, surgery and aftercare is held in our clinic.

Using a retinol eye product can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Cellderma Retin-ACE has a considerably higher potency than retinol but without the expected side effects such as skin irritation, dryness, and flaking. Although eye products can help the eye area, it may not give you the end results you are looking for – however, when you combine them with a treatment you can achieve longer-lasting results.

Always perfect. The diagnosis, the treatment and the wonderful support staff. I always come away feeling so much better. Mrs Patel is so wonderfully tolerant of two old “biddies” who descend on her every month. We do try to make the visit pleasant for her too, she is amazing and so very kind.
