With the sagging of the skin, there may be bagging due to loosening of the adipose tissue. In this case, the eyes appear swollen and tired.
In some patients, it may be accompanied by drooping eyebrows, lower lid sagging, lid drooping and looseness. In this case, these problems should be repaired separately.
Age, gender and genetic characteristics play a role in the development of the disease.

As a result of the narrowing of the visual field, moving objects (motor vehicles, etc.) approaching from the side may not be detected in time, so accidents may occur.
Headaches often occur due to the constant effort to keep the eyes open during the day and the load created by the loosened lid skin.
In addition, as a result of recurrent painless edema attacks in young people, drooping of the eyelids may occur (Blepherochalasis).
