Droopy Eyelids / Fallen Brows

The term ‘droopy eyelids’ (medically known as eyelid ptosis), refers to the sagging of the skin of the upper eyelid. The eyes are one of the main focal points of the face and play a huge role in how we communicate with others, as well as displaying facial expressions and in showing emotions.

Ageing is the most common reason we experience some drooping of the eyelids and in most cases begins around our late 30’s to early 40’s. Eyelid ptosis usually first presents itself in a mild form, whereby the crease of the eyelids begins to sit a little lower than in our 20’s. In some rare cases (mostly in people much older) where the condition is advanced, the eyelid can begin to cover more of the eye and therefore can cause impairment to the vision and / or normal function of the eye.

About this condition

Droopy eyelids are normally caused by two common age related factors. One, is where the collagen and elastin in the skin has begun to diminish and the skin has started to lose its ability to contract, collecting as folds in the eyelid area.

The other is due to a depreciation of the levator muscle that supports the eyelids and controls the lifting motion associated with keeping the eyes open. As this muscle becomes less effective, the eyelid may take on a fallen appearance.

Further causes of this condition can be due to: nerve injury (as a result of cataract surgery) trauma, stroke or a stye.

Droopy eyelids can affect both men and women of any age or ethnicity and can be present in either one or both eyes – unilateral ptosis or bilateral ptosis. Drooping eyelids are sometimes also associated with the appearance of a fallen brow.This may occur when the fat pads around the eyes begin to break down and the skin structure can no longer support the weight effectively and the lid of the eye begins to pull the brow downward beyond an acceptable margin.

Whether you are experiencing one or both of these conditions, an appearance that was once joyful and awake, can often become weary and worried looking.

In one way or another, we all consider the way we look, and through non surgical intervention at Nassif MedSpa your eyes can regain their youthful look, framed perfectly by the eyebrow to retain a calm and relaxed appearance of the upper face.

I love going here, from the moment you enter you are greeted by lovely friendly staff, you even get a beautiful macaroon and lovely coffee or tea! The staff are knowledgeable, empathetic and want the best results for you. Amanda and Dr Jamie looked after me through every PRP treatments I’ve just had my third one! And both are highly, highly professional and so, so lovely and they really know what they are talking about. I couldn’t recommend Dr Nassif Medical Spa enough and I couldn’t recommend Dr Jamie and Amanda enough. I can’t wait for my next treatments ! Thank you so much guys see you in January ! :D

I had the best experience at NassifMD Medspa UK. The spa itself is beautiful and luxurious and in a great location on the Quays. On arrival I was met by Amanda and immediately I felt relaxed and at ease. My consultation with Dr Jamie was a joy ! His knowledge and experience is vast and nothing was too much trouble when faced with my endless questions and concerns. I was given several options of treatments and between us we decided on a course of action …. The results ? Well I’m absolutely thrilled ! I can’t wait for my next appointment.

I have had many services here and the service is not only impeccable the knowledge Amanda gives is fantastic. The Dr’s and nurses at Dr.Nassif’s medical spa are amazing. My hydrafacial was the best one I’ve ever had. I get PRP and profhilo, also the best. I’ve recently just had nucleofill for my under eyes & with what was left over the Dr noticed I had a slight outbreak of spots and administered the nucleofill there. 1 day post treatment my eyes look much better and my spots have started to clear up! The initiative and attention to detail on top of already an amazing treatment is what makes this clinic the best I’ve ever been too. I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks team for being so amazing! I wouldn’t trust my face with anyone else!

I’ve had 2 courses of Halo laser and my experience with Nassif Medical Spa has been amazing. Special thanks to Amanda who really goes the extra mile when caring for her clients. I’ve felt so supported by her throughout the entire experience from initial consultation through to aftercare and I throughly recommend her and this clinic! Amanda provides the compete package including well informed guidance, effective treatments and thoughtful aftercare. Her holistic approach will help you not only get the results you need but also work to then maintain them afterwards. Thanks again to her and the team! A well deserved 5/5 - I can’t fault them!

My 1st visit to this clinic , first impressions - such a beautiful well run , professional atmosphere. Amanda and staff helped put me at my ease and explained everything before my treatment. This included previous clients photos of before and after treatments and a thorough discussion of my needs, which put me at ease. My rosacea is much improved already after treatment and I look forward to my return for follow up and a second treatment.
