Your eyes are usually the first thing that people notice
about your appearance. As we get older, the skin around our eyes stretches
and wrinkles. Fatty deposits cause the upper lids to sag while the tissue
under the eye can bulge forward and become discolored. Typically, these
characteristics come with age, but hereditary factors can cause a younger
person to appear prematurely aged. A surgical procedure may be necessary
for those people whose vision is impaired due to this condition.
Through
modern techniques and advances in an eyelid rejuvenation
procedure called blepharoplasty, the condition can be treated.
