Eyelid surgery
What are the issues?

Many people feel they look tired, or are told they looked tired, due to drooping of the upper eyelids and bags or shadows under their eyes. In the upper eyelid, this is due to excess skin, often accompanied by protrusion of underlying fat. This leads to ‘hooding’ of the eyelid onto the eyelashes. In severe cases it may even obstruct line of sight.

In the lower eyelid, there may be a degree of skin excess, but the protrusion of the fat from around the eye commonly gives the appearance of eye bags, and shadowing in this area. In a small number of people, this situation is made worse by pre-existing medical conditions, such as thyroid disease.
