Definition
Dermatochalasis is the medical term for excess skin on the upper eyelids. It’s a common age-related condition that can cause:
- Drooping of the upper eyelids
- Irritation of the eyes from rubbing against the excess skin
- Difficulty applying makeup due to the uneven eyelid surface
Treatment
An eyelid lift is an effective treatment for dermatochalasis. By removing the excess skin, the surgeon can address all the above concerns and restore a more youthful and functional eyelid appearance.
