Eyelids

With age, the thin skin of the upper and lower eyelids, as well as the eyelid muscle, continually lose elasticity. Excess skin on the upper eyelid produces a drooping eyelid, the so-called "curtains"; similarly, excess skin on the lower eyelid will lead to unattractive bags under the eyes. This part of the aging process is often considered very annoying, as it can permanently change your facial expression, making you appear constantly sad and tired. With just a small outpatient procedure, excess tissue (often also fat and muscle) can be removed under local anesthesia.
