Why do my lower eyelids and upper eyelids look droopy?
Dark circles, eye bags and droopy eyelids, both upper and lower, are not usually a cause for concern. They are generally a cosmetic issue that can result from several factors, including:
Ageing
As we get older, our skin starts to lose collagen and elastin, two proteins the body needs to keep our skin looking firm and healthy. As a result of this loss, our skin, especially around the eyes, becomes thinner and starts to sag. It can also make blood vessels more visible, which can cause dark shadows or puffy eye bags.
Genetics
A droopy upper eyelid and eye bags can be an inherited condition. If your parents or other close relatives suffer from these issues, you may be more likely to develop them too. This can include sunken eye sockets, less fat around the eye area or a predisposition to puffy under eyes.
Lifestyle and lack of sleep
If you are someone who eats a lot of salt in your diet, you may be more likely to see fluid build-up in the lower eyelid area. This also includes if you do not drink enough water daily.
Changes in your hormones, particularly during pregnancy or menstruation can also cause fluid retention. An Increase in cortisol levels can result in your skin becoming more dry and sensitive and dark circles forming under the eyes.
Finally, a lack of sleep or poor quality sleep can lead to the blood vessels under your eyes becoming more prominent. This leads to dark shadows and the appearance of sunken eyes.
The benefits of tear trough fillers over surgical procedures
If you have the following signs of ageing in your tear trough area (under the eyes) you might be considering tear trough treatment:
- Loose or saggy skin under the lower eyelid
- A sunken or hollow look under the eyes
- Dark shadows or dark circles
Blepharoplasty surgery vs tear trough fillers
When most people see the above signs of ageing, their first thought is to look into blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery. This requires going under the knife and for a plastic surgeon to remove excess skin, and sometimes muscle and fat, that causes the eyelids to sag.
There is also lower blepharoplasty surgery or eye bag removal surgery. This works in the same way, where a doctor will create an incision to remove excess skin and fat from the under-eye area.
Both surgeries will have to be done privately and can be costly. There is also a 7-14 day downtime period where you will have swelling and bruising. You may be able to get this surgery with the National Health Service (NHS) if the excess skin is causing blurred vision.
Tear trough fillers – the best non-surgical option
Tear trough filler treatments use a specific type of dermal filler, which is designed for the under-eye area. It is an injectable treatment that uses a gel-like substance to help add volume to sunken tear troughs and reduce dark circles.
At The One Clinic, we use hyaluronic acid fillers. This is a natural substance that exists in your skin and helps to keep it hydrated, plump and healthy-looking. Dermal fillers help to boost levels of hyaluronic acid in our skin, which we start to see decrease as we get older.

What happens during tear-trough filler treatment?
You will have your dermal filler treatment with one of our trained aesthetic doctors. They will run through where the injection sites will be, how much tear-trough filler they will use, and what your results will look like.
The procedure takes around 30 minutes to complete. If you are having dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections in other areas of the face, you may be with us for an hour. Your doctor will advise you whether you are able to have both treatments at the same time.
Most of our patients find tear trough treatment to be comfortable. However, because the eye area is more sensitive, we will apply a topical anaesthetic numbing cream to the treatment area first.
Once your injections are complete, your doctor will massage the filler into place and ensure it is evenly distributed. It is normal to expect some mild bruising and swelling after your treatment, but this will go down in the first 24-48 hours.
How long will my results last for?
The results of your under-eye filler will last for around 12-18 months. Not every patient will see the same results. This will depend on how your body responds to the dermal fillers and how quickly it breaks them down.
To keep your sunken eyes or dark circles at bay, we recommend that you come back to our Leicester clinic after 12 months for a top-up treatment. This will ensure you continue to see bright and radiant eyes.
