Treatment recommendations for hooded eyes
Hooded eyes are a common concern, but they can be easily treated with both surgical and non-surgical routes. The recommended treatment solution for hooded eyes depends on the severity, your anatomy and whether the position of your brows is contributing to the problem. See more on sagging or drooping eyelids.
Typically, at Aventis, we recommend the following procedures for hooded eyes:
- Upper blepharoplasty (surgical eyelid lift) for excess skin
- Brow assessment and brow lift if brow descent contributes to hooding
- Skin tightening treatments like SkinTyte for mild skin laxity
- Regenerative treatments like PRP and polynucleotide-based therapy
In most cases, an upper blepharoplasty is recommended to provide the most effective and long-lasting correction, as the procedure rarely needs to be repeated.
The surgical solution for hooded eyes
A blepharoplasty is a cosmetic eyelid surgery which removes excess, drooping skin and fat from the upper eyelids to reduce the appearance of hooded eyes.
The blepharoplasty procedure
- Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid crease
- Excess skin and tissue are carefully removed or repositioned
- Fine sutures are used to close the incision
- The aim is a natural, well-defined eyelid fold with minimal visible scarring
Most procedures take 45 minutes, with patients returning home the same day.

Typically, mild hooding can be managed with non-surgical treatments, but they will not remove excess skin. Surgical correction, such as an upper blepharoplasty, will be the most effective option when hooding is significant, as our eyelid specialists can reposition excess skin to restore a natural eyelid crease.
