Drooping eyelids usually consist of a puffiness component, excess skin and an accumulation of fat.
We can treat the swelling non-surgically.
In contrast, the accumulation of fat and excess skin can only be removed by surgery.
Here you will find some advice on the treatment of drooping eyelids:
Editions:
- Moist, cool tea bags with black or green tea (chamomile tea can have an allergenic effect) help to reduce swelling.
- Cool packs or cooling pads also help to reduce swelling.
- The same applies to chilled cucumber slices.
Lifestyle habits
“Bad” lifestyle habits should be given up.
Raise your upper body
Raising the upper body while sleeping reduces the swelling of the drooping eyelids.
Drainage measures
They can often reduce the swelling well.
Hemorrhoidal ointment
It is often regarded as an insider tip. However, the decongestant component in these ointments is usually due to the addition of cortisone. Cortisone thins the upper eyelid skin in the long term and can therefore lead to a deterioration in skin quality and a bluish discoloration, as the fine venous plexuses can now shine through more easily. Although hemorrhoidal ointment can lead to a short-term improvement in the swelling of the drooping eyelids, it is not recommended due to the detrimental long-term effects.
