Can anyone tell me what to do, other than a eye lift to lift eyelids? I seem to look tired all the time.?

Question:

Answers:
I think it is called droopy eye. http://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA342852/ I know two people who have this. I'm not sure it is the same as this link suggests, though. The eyelids appear half open and the person has a tired look?

This article suggests it may be caused by some sort of trauma to the nerves, or something similar.

Suggestions for improvement is:
"There is no single treatment for this disorder. Instead, you need to investigate and deal with the underlying cause. This may involve tests including an MRI of the head, an ultrasound test to examine the carotid artery in the neck, a chest x-ray, a CT scan of the chest, blood tests, an angiogram and eye tests."

"Once the problem is found, treating it may help. I would also recommend trying acupuncture, hypnosis, and an extract of Lion’s Mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus), a medicinal mushroom believed to stimulate nerve growth. It is nontoxic. You can get Lion’s Mane in extract-form from Fungi Perfecti (www.fungi.com). Follow the dosing directions on the product."

Other than having heard of it through a couple friends, I have no real ideas. I thought cosmetic surgery was an option, but they don't suggest that here. I hope you hear from others with the problem.

Before I leave, here is another link about Droopy Eye, that seems like a different sort of diagnosis.

although I don't suspect this is the case with my friends, they suggest it could be caused by tiredness, allergy, age, sun exposure, alcohol (ab)use, smoking, poor nutrition and heredity. You will want to research this a bit and take what you find to your doctor. Perhaps he/she can direct you towards the appropriate resource.

Good luck.

Other Answers:
You can always try to get some more sleep or put tea bags over your eyes. I'm not sure if the latter helps but that's what's rumored to work.

you can try using the eye-lid adhesive tape, it gives your eyes a more prominent double eye-lid.
