Sagging eyelids are a common problem as we get older. The loss of collagen, elastin and natural skin hydration leads to loosening of the skin. It can be particularly visible around the upper and lower eyelids, because the skin is very thin and delicate. Some people also have naturally hooded or heavy lids which are often inherited. Sagging of the upper or lower lids can give the appearance of fatigue and also affect the ability to wear makeup such as eyeshadow, eyeliner or foundation.
