What is cause of loose skin around eyelids?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Loss of volume: Loss of volume in terms of fat and bone are the main culprits of the loose skin around the eyes. People who have gone though great fluctuations in weight, extra skin nay actually be the product of stretched out skin. In people who have been at the same weight most of their life it is the loss of fat and bone, but mostly fat. That is why fat transfer, which I have been performing for 19 years is.

Typically aging...: Excess skin is generally a problem in the upper eyelids. In the lower eyelids, the problem is almost never excess skin but rather fat that is protruding along with descent of the cheek tissues.
