Droopy eyelid surgery in St. Clair Shores, MI

Dermatochalasis refers to excess skin of the upper eyelids that develops as the skin loses elasticity over time. This can cause the eyelids to appear heavy, puffy, or droopy. In some cases, the excess skin can hang over the eyelashes and even block part of the upper field of vision, making activities such as reading or driving more difficult.

​

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the symptoms it causes. When droopy eyelids significantly affect vision or comfort, a surgical procedure called blepharoplasty may be recommended to remove the excess skin and restore a more natural eyelid contour. This procedure can improve both vision and eyelid appearance.
