If you look tired and older because of drooping upper eyelids, you are not the only one. The sagging is normally caused by ageing, excessive amounts of fat in those areas of the face, loss of facial elasticity and the constant pull of gravity. The drooping eyelid condition is not only detrimental to your aesthetic appeal, but it may also obstruct your vision and make you feel heaviness in the eyes.
