What is Eyelid Hooding and Loose Skin?

Eyelid hooding happens when the skin on the upper eyelid becomes loose and droops over the eye, sometimes even obstructing vision. This condition is often accompanied by loose skin around the eyes, which can create an overall tired or aged appearance. While it’s a natural part of the ageing process, other factors like sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices can accelerate the loss of skin elasticity, leading to this concern earlier in life.

Dr Ayad Harb and the team at SRGN are experts in addressing eyelid hooding and loose skin, offering treatments that restore a youthful, refreshed look. Whether you’re looking for a subtle lift or a more dramatic improvement, we have the right solution tailored to your needs.

Types of Eyelid Hooding and Loose Skin

Mild Eyelid Hooding

For those experiencing early signs of eyelid hooding with minimal loose skin, anti-wrinkle injections can provide a subtle lift by relaxing the muscles that pull the eyelid down. This non-surgical option offers a quick and effective solution with no downtime.

Moderate to Severe Hooding

If hooding is more pronounced and begins to affect your vision or significantly alter your appearance, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may be recommended. This surgical procedure removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids, providing a more open and youthful eye area.

Loose Skin Around the Eyes

Loose skin around the eyes can be treated with radiofrequency skin tightening or Ultherapy. These non-invasive treatments stimulate collagen production, firming and tightening the skin for a smoother, more lifted appearance.

How Do We Treat it?

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a highly effective solution for significant eyelid hooding. This procedure removes excess skin and fat, lifting the eyelids and enhancing the natural contours of the eyes. The result is a more youthful, alert, and refreshed look.

Sylfirm X Skin Tightening

Sylfirm X combines microneedling and radiofrequency by heating the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This non-invasive procedure effectively tightens and lifts loose skin around the eyes, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
