Your eyes are the windows to your soul, affecting both how you see the world and how the world sees you. Yet, when you have an eye condition, often caused by heredity or aging, your eyes or drooping eyelids and eyebrows can give a sad or tired appearance.
Over time your upper and/or lower eyelids may become "droopy" or "baggy" because the eyelid skin stretches, muscles weaken and fat pockets bulge and become more prominent around the eyes. This most commonly occurs because of the aging process but also may be a hereditary condition. Your eyebrows also may sag or droop as part of this same process.
Aesthetically, such conditions may detract from the overall attractiveness of your eyes and cause a "tired" or older appearance. When severe, these conditions also may cause functional problems, such as a decreased field of vision (baggy upper eyelids) or difficulty wearing glasses (baggy lower eyelids).
