What to do if your eyelids are loose

Sagging eyelids are a common phenomenon in our daily life. There are many reasons for sagging eyelids. For example, as we get older, the elasticity of our skin decreases, which can easily lead to this phenomenon. In addition, irregular lifestyle and poor rest may also cause this symptom. When loose eyelids occur, some methods can be used to improve them, such as regular use of eye cream, enhanced care and so on.

What to do if your eyelids are loose

1. Insist on using eye cream. Many people only apply eye cream to the corners of the eyes. In fact, the lower eyelid is the part of the eye that is most likely to become loose, followed by the upper eyelid. Aging of the lower eyelids can easily lead to eye bags, while loose upper eyelids can cause sagging eyelids. The correct way to apply eye cream is to use the tip of your ring finger to apply a suitable amount of eye cream, starting from the lower eyelid, from the end of the eye inward, and gently press like touching a piano key; for the upper eyelid, start from the corner of the eye and gently slide the fingertips across, repeat several times to evenly spread the eye cream.

Eye masks can also be used as an auxiliary product of eye cream. This is because the eye mask has a good penetrating effect. In a dry environment, using it 1-2 times a week can replenish moisture for the skin around the eyes. In addition, applying the used eye mask to the fine wrinkles around the lips can not only make full use of the essence of the eye mask, but also instantly reduce the wrinkles around the lips.

2. Don’t massage too hard

In daily life, we should do our best to prevent drooping eyelids anytime and anywhere. For example, people who often face computer screens should pay attention: they should not use their eyes for long periods of time or rub their eyes hard; be gentle when applying makeup and do not pull the skin around the eyes too vigorously; avoid working in the sun for a long time; be careful when taking a nap at a desk so as not to create wrinkles around the eyes and face.

Usually pay attention to drinking less water at night, eat more fruits and drink milk. If you like to eat meat, you can eat more pig's trotters and skin, which are good for the skin.

Regardless of the cause of sagging upper eyelids, surgical correction is required. The surgery can be performed while removing eyelid wrinkles and performing blepharoplasty. Patients with bulging of tear glands and orbital fat should also undergo surgery at the same time. Upper eyelid surgery should not be performed simultaneously with lower eyelid surgery to avoid affecting the blood supply to the skin at the same time. After forehead and temporal wrinkle removal surgery, a period of recovery is required before surgery can be performed depending on the condition of the upper and lower eyelids. To prevent the scar from being too obvious after surgery and affecting the cosmetic appearance, the incision for removing loose eyelid skin wrinkles should be as parallel to the skin texture as possible.
