Dropping eyelid  
Hi,

I wonder if you can hlep me. I am 27 but already I have a problem with upper eyelid droop. I wouldn't say it runs in the family particularly and I wouldn't say the condition of my eyelids is that bad but it really bothers me. I look tired. It only started in the last year I would say and the rest of my face is aging pretty well (probably due to SPF I wear everyday).

Basically, one eye is a lot more of a problem than the other and some days it is worse than others. Generally, one eye is nice and open and almond shaped and other other sags down more so you can see noticably less of the eye lid when my eyes are open. Sometimes both will be droppy but still, usually one less than the other. The fact that one day it can worse then the other made me wonder if it has to do with muscle rather than an accumulation of fat / fluid.

Can you advise me if I am too young to consider surgery (which my family and fiance would be not be supportive of by the way which makes it harder for someone who is terminally vain! ) or if there are any other options / solutions I should be looking at. I did notice one lady in your before and after photos was quite young and only had a small amount of droop before, but the after pictures looked great.

P.s

Is it possible to show you a photo of my eyes?

RE: Dropping eyelid  
If your lid is drooping enough that it blocks your vision, correction might be covered by your insurance. You should also keep in mind that plastic surgery consultations are often free. You should call plastic surgeons in your area and schedule a consult.
Also, the condition you are describing is very common. The skin surrounding the eye is very delicate and tends to age a bit faster than the rest of the skin on our face. you should be very gentle when cleansing this skin, and when removing and applying make-up. I think a consult would be in your best interest. It never hurts to see what one, or several experts have to say. Good luck to you.
