medical problem such as yours.


No, actually my eyelid problem was caused by the aging process. I naturally have a lot of fat on my eyelids and no crease in them -- a little like an Asian person. As you get older, things just start drooping. Really, I never would have thought that, but who thinks of things like this when they are 25? Because my eye doctor noticed that my vision was being interferred with, it was a medical procedure. (I am not real heavy, in case you are wondering, so that was not a concern.)I can actually put a little eyeshadow in the crease now, which I never could do before.

I'll tell you what I did notice when I was younger: I don't have much chin. Sure enough, that area of my face/neck is not holding up nearly as well as it does for people who have nicely shaped jawlines. Oh, well!
