You become older, as a result your upper eyelids will hang a little more. This is a normal, a natural phenomenon. This can be caused by the loss of elasticity of the skin (skin aging). This makes the skin more spacious and looser. In addition, the muscle weakens your eyelid.
In addition to aging the skin, heredity also plays a very big role.
The age of the patients who undergo eyelid surgery generally varies between 30 and 80 years !!

The procedure
The surgery is a relatively small surgical procedure, however with a great result!
