Droopy Eyelids

Eyelid drooping, also known as ptosis, can change your appearance and, in some cases, your eyelid function. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is sometimes the most effective solution, but it is not the right approach for everyone. Our West Perth cosmetic clinic provides options that may help address these concerns without surgery.

A Note From Dr Aleks

I've always believed that the most beautiful results are the ones where you still look like yourself. To accomplish this, I look at the bigger picture rather than focusing on only one area. Your eyes work together with your brows, cheeks and other facial features to create your unique look, and I design your treatment plan with that in mind. 

Cookie-cutter approaches simply don't work when it comes to such an expressive and unique part of the face. What helps one person might not be right for you, and that's perfectly okay! I enjoy getting to know each patient and understanding the goals they hope to achieve.

Common Characteristics

  • Upper eyelids that appear heavy or sagging
  • Hooding over the eyes, reducing the visible eyelid area
  • Difficulty keeping eyes open, particularly when tired
  • Forehead muscle strain from overuse
  • Interference with vision in severe cases

Contributing Factors

  • Natural ageing and loss of skin elasticity
  • Weakening of the levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid
  • Genetics and hereditary factors
  • Sun exposure and environmental damage
  • Loss of fat and structural support around the eyes

Understanding Droopy Eyelids

Droopy eyelids result from changes that occur at different levels of the face, from the skin’s surface down to the deeper structures:

Surface Layer (Epidermis)

  • Loss of firmness and elasticity
  • Thinning of the skin
  • Increased dryness

Middle Layer (Muscles and Connective Tissue)

  • Weakening of the levator muscle
  • Loss of collagen and elastin, reducing the skin’s ability to "bounce back"

Deep Layer (Fat and Bone)

  • Shifting fat pads around the eyes
  • Volume loss in the brow and upper eyelid
  • Subtle changes in bone structure
