I have hooded eyes and so do all my mothers side of the family. I am young, I have no wrinkles and hope to stay this way by doing facial exercises.
I would really love to get rid of my hooded eyes, but I don't know how, and I'm beginning to wonder- since I'm born with the eyes, will I never be able to get rid of them.
When I smile, you can't see my eye lids at all, and when I'm tired,my eye lids hang so low it looks like I'm scowling at everyone- please help!
Hello Lucyelle,
Thanks for your email regarding hooded eyelids. You mentioned that you're doing facial exercises, are you doing Carolyn's Facial Fitness Exercises?
I ask this because her exercises concentrate on lifting the muscles around the eyes (especially hooded eyelids) by having you perform them lying down!
I've tried/purchased several different face exercise programs since 1999 and found this one the most effective, easiest, and fastest.
While severely deep hooded eyelids might require surgery (and your insurance might pay for it if it actually impairs your vision!!) - for those with slight to medium hooding - proper facial exercises can help firm up the skin and tighten and lift sagging eye muscle....giving impressive results for most people.
