Hooded Eyes

“Hooded eyes” refer to a condition where the skin of the upper eyelid droops over the natural crease of the eyelid, making the eye appear smaller and the eyelid appear heavy. This can be caused by aging, genetics, or a combination of both.

As a person ages, the skin on the upper eyelid can lose elasticity and firmness, causing it to droop and sag. In some cases, this can lead to functional issues such as difficulty seeing or eye fatigue. Hooded eyes can also be a genetic trait, where the skin of the upper eyelid naturally folds over the crease of the eyelid.

Treatment for hooded eyes may involve anti-wrinkle or dermal fillers, which can be used to lift and enhance the appearance of the eyelid.
