What Are Sagging Eyelids?
Skin laxity becomes a common issue for most people as they get older. At Aesthetic Med Studio, we frequently see patients who struggle with loose skin around the cheeks, jawline, abdomen, arms, legs, and even the eyes. In some cases, sagging eyelids can even impact your vision. In the past, the only solution for dealing with sagging eyelids was a surgical technique called blepharoplasty (or an eyelid lift). Thanks to advances in skin tightening treatments, we can now perform nonsurgical blepharoplasty at our Springfield, MO office using AgeJET plasma skin resurfacing. This state-of-the-art device is safe to use, from the eyelid all the way to the lash line on both the upper and lower lids, making it a versatile, effective option for patients who want to say goodbye to sagging eyelids. Schedule a consultation with our experienced aesthetic team to learn more, and start your treatment.
How Do You Treat Sagging Eyelids?
Following your consultation, we'll have you lie back in one of our private treatment rooms as your provider uses the AgeJET applicator to target loose skin around your eyes. The device uses a type of plasma to trigger healing and collagen growth under the skin without damaging the top layers. As your body's natural processes go to work over the next few weeks and months, you should start to see the skin tighten and lift. Depending on the severity of your skin laxity, we may recommend multiple AgeJET sessions at our Springfield, MO facility to optimize your results.
What Causes Sagging Eyelids?
Age is one of the most common causes of sagging skin around the eyes and body, but there are many other potential causes for sagging eyelids. Those include:
- Congenital health issues
- Injury to the eye or face
- Nerve damage or muscle weakness around the eyelids
- Diabetes
- Stroke
- Swelling around the eyes
During your consultation, our team will work to understand the root cause of your sagging eyelids and develop a treatment plan to restore your appearance and vision.

Had my first visit at Aesthetic and had the BEST experience. Raegan was SO sweet, knowledgeable and sent me home with some samples and lots of tips for my skin concerns. She tailored everything to my skin and no lie I got a compliment the first stop I made after the appointment! The barista asked where I got my facial and of course I plugged this med studio.

Sagging Eyelids FAQ
When should I seek professional help for sagging eyelids?
If sagging eyelids are starting to affect your confidence or make you appear more tired than you feel, it may be time to explore your options. You should also seek a consultation if you’re experiencing blocked vision or discomfort. Karlene Ruiz provides one-on-one evaluations to help patients determine the most effective treatment approach.
Is treatment for sagging eyelids permanent?
While nonsurgical options can deliver noticeable and lasting improvements, they do not stop the aging process. Maintenance treatments may be recommended over time. For many patients, results can be prolonged with healthy skincare habits and consistent follow-up. Karlene Ruiz will guide you on the best ways to support your results for the long haul.
What are the early signs of sagging eyelids?
Early signs of sagging eyelids often include a feeling of heaviness around the eyes, drooping upper lids, and a tired appearance—even when you’re well-rested. Some people may also notice difficulty applying makeup or changes in how their eyelids fold. Karlene Ruiz evaluates these subtle changes and helps patients decide when it's time to consider treatment.
