Drooping Eyelids (Ptosis)

Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, can be caused by several factors. One common cause is ageing, as the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids weaken over time. Other potential causes include:

1. Muscle or nerve damage: Conditions such as Bell’s palsy or certain neurological disorders can affect the muscles or nerves controlling eyelid movement, leading to drooping.
2. Congenital ptosis: Some people are born with drooping eyelids due to underdevelopment or malformation of the muscles that lift the eyelids.
3. Injury: Trauma to the eye or surrounding area can damage the muscles or nerves involved in eyelid movement, resulting in ptosis.
4. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as myasthenia gravis or Horner’s syndrome, can cause ptosis as a symptom.
5. Eyelid growths: Tumors or other growths on the eyelid or surrounding tissues can weigh down the eyelid, causing it to droop.

Treatment for ptosis depends on the underlying cause and may include surgery, medication, or other interventions to address the underlying issue. It’s essential to consult with a specialist who can provide personalised advice and reccomend the best treatment options. To book your free consultation at our clinic, click here.

At our Wrexham clinic, we offer a selection of targeted treatments to improve the appearance of drooping or heavy eyelids. Whether the concern is caused by skin laxity, excess tissue or muscle activity, every treatment plan is tailored to your needs to achieve a more open, refreshed eye appearance.

Muscle-Relaxing Injections for a Subtle Lift

For clients whose eyelid heaviness is linked to overactive muscles pulling the brows downward, muscle-relaxing injections can provide a gentle lift. By easing this muscle activity, the eyes appear more open and less tired. These treatments are performed in Wrexham by our aesthetic specialists, nurse Clare Wyatt and Dr Karen Gait.

Plexr for Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

If drooping is caused by loose or excess skin on the upper eyelids, Plexr offers a non-surgical option to tighten and firm the skin. Using precise plasma energy, it reduces hooding and improves eyelid definition without incisions or downtime. Plexr is also carried out by nurse Clare Wyatt and Dr Karen Gait.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty for Long-Lasting Results

For clients seeking a more significant or permanent improvement, upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be recommended. This surgical procedure removes or reshapes excess skin and tissue to restore a clearer, more youthful lid contour. Blepharoplasty in Wrexham is performed by our consultant surgeon Will Allen, highly experienced in advanced eyelid surgery.

Together, these options allow us to treat a wide range of drooping eyelid concerns with both non-surgical and surgical solutions, ensuring you receive the most suitable and effective approach for your eyes.

At our Nantwich clinic, we provide a range of solutions to address heavy or hooded eyelids, helping restore a brighter, more lifted appearance. Whether your concern relates to lax skin, excess tissue or changes in muscle activity, every treatment plan is shaped around your individual goals to achieve natural, balanced results.

Muscle-Relaxing Injections to Open the Eye Area

When drooping is influenced by muscles that pull the brows downward, muscle-relaxing injections can help create a subtle lifting effect. By reducing this downward pull, the eyes appear more open and refreshed. These treatments are delivered in Nantwich by our aesthetic practitioner Dr Laura Bland.

Plexr for Precise Non-Surgical Tightening

For clients experiencing hooding due to loose or creased skin on the upper eyelids, Plexr offers a non-surgical approach to tightening. This plasma-based treatment contracts excess skin, improving lid definition without the need for incisions or a lengthy recovery. Plexr is also performed by Dr Laura Bland.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty for a Definitive Result

If a more transformative or long-lasting solution is required, upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be advised. This surgical procedure removes or reshapes excess skin and tissue to restore a clearer eyelid crease and a more youthful eye contour.
