Hi everyone!

This may seem like a weird question but I really wanna know....Have anyone here had problems with hooded eyelids while they were over weight? If so, did the "hood" even out after becoming slimmer?

I ask because when I was younger/slimmer, I was able to apply eye make-up with no problems but once I became overweight, I developed this loose skin drooping over my eyelid which obviously interferes with the make-up application.

I hope I don't come off as vain...It makes me kinda sad to have this...I hope that it goes away!!!

Anyway, if you have the same problem, had sucess with the problem or have a solution for me please let me know.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply...My hooded eyelids came about when I started to gain weight (around my 20 or 21 years old) but I guess not that I am older it probably wont go away....gotta work around it now.

Thanks!

Mine were hereditary but interefered with my peripheal vision so my insurance paid for it. They did tests & pictures to preapprove it. My opthalmologist did it in-office & I had black & blue eyes for about 2 weeks. I had it done over 5 yrs ago and very glad to have did it. Here's to being "hoodless!"

Hello Luanne!

Thanks for the reply.

My eyelids aren't altering my vision..at least not yet so insurance wont pay for it but I am still interested in getting them fixed after goal weight...

Did they put you to sleep for the procedure? Was it painful? Do you have any before and after photos that you wouldn't mind sharing with me?

Thanks

You just never know if you would be covered or not...I would definitely go to an opthamoligist & have him look at you if you have insurance. He used a local & it was an office call. My eyelids was sore a few days, that's it.
