As an aesthetic nurse injector I loveeee hearing your thoughts on injectables and minimally invasive procedures!! :) Would love a video of you outlining your entire beauty routine including procedures and how often! And/or common procedures you have many of your patients doing initially for correction and then seasonally/yearly/biyearly as part of a long term preventative/maintenance regimen, or just videos about your favorite minimally invasive treatments in general!

I went to get my passport picture and the person taking the picture said let’s take it again because you keep closing your left eye please try to keep it open. He showed me the pictures and it truly affected my self esteem. I am dealing with surgical depression because I had an emergency hysterectomy after my baby was stillborn and I am dealing with so much and so much changes in my body. Not to mention the symptoms of menopause 😓😔
Thank you for doing this video, I've had this issue since I was 16. Every time people meet me, they always say are you "tired" are you ok. After a while it gets to you and upsets you as to why people think they have the right to just walk up to you and belittle your appearance.
Doc, you changed my life! Because of you, I got the courage to see a dermatologist. Thank you for all that you've taught us ❤️ #proscience #mythbuster big hugs from Canada 🤗
Perfect video! I had RF and Ultrasound with PRP 4 years ago! It was amazing. I'm ready to sign up again. BUT droopy eyelids!! It's a family thing. LOL. I am in my early 50s, and my skin is changing. I'm a nurse and worked for a dermatologist in my early 30s. Thank goodness, too, because if I came to work on a Monday morning with a sunburn, I would be in trouble (I live in FL and am a runner). He taught me so much about skin and damage. Love hearing your thoughts on products and skin care. I am fighting the sag. Being and looking healthy in my 50s is my goal. TY!!
My skin is sooooo smooth, clear and bright!!! I had Mohs surgery last May, huge scar next to my nose and thanks to my derm, and you Schereene, plenty patience, and Major Fade, my scar is almost unnoticeable. ❤️❤️❤️ Love from New Orleans.
As a member of the hooded-eye club, thank you for this. I learned so much! You mentioned micro current, but I am wondering if at-home laser devices like Nira are useful for this problem. I heard Nira is FDA approved for use around the eye but it’s still a little scary to me. Also, thank you for explaining that procedures need to be planned with the long-term in mind.
Thank you Shireen. My asymmetric eyes/ hooding / drooping / squint has been my biggest insecurity so I appreciate someone talking to it. I’m going to get my first forehead botox in May and will ask about some of these too. I don’t understand why people feel they can point out these issues to you - I never noticed mine until it was pointed out and now I cannot unsee it. People always comment on it in photos of me and I don’t really understand why
Thank you for the video! I am 55 yo and have hooded /fold eyelids (genetics). I always had minimal lid space but more so now that I am "wiser" (thank u gravity). Not asking for major lid space, but wanting a very suble tweak to look refreshed. I have found a plastic surgeon who is also board certified ophthalmologist. Seriously thinking about surgery, but I am very squeamish about it.
Perfect timing! Thank you for this information. Monday I see my opthalmologist about my eyelids resting on my eyelashes and feeling like peripheral blinders. Mascara always ends up on my lids. Surgery is scary but probably necessary. I'm 85... and still vain. 😉
I am 68 and am having surgery for my eyelids on the 15th of September. My field of vision tests definitely qualified me for surgery. My eyelids are sitting on the top of my lashes and I constantly raise my eyes to see. If not necessary I wouldn't have the surgery. Just as you said, I'm afraid of the outcome and how I'll look. Hopefully it will all turn out well.
I’ve always had hooded eyes. Being over 40 (now 46!) my eyebrows started to droop. I started to get botox and I’ve had really got good results from it even lifting the small fold on one of my eyes. I don’t have much excess skin on my eyes and also have dry eyes syndrome, so I’ll stick with botox until I feel like I need a brow lift.
Just fyi....you can make an appointment to see an ophthalmologist & they do a test that determines whether your sight is impaired & by how much. If they think surgery would be beneficial to your sight, they will send you to a plastic surgeon for a consult. The plastic surgeon's staff asks lots of questions & takes pictures, then they send to your insurance for pre-approval of blepharoplasty surgery. If needed for better sight - it's covered by most insurance, as a medical surgery (not cosmetic). I'm 65 & have Medicare Advantage, so I only had to pay a $295 co-pay! If you have a high deductible, that would have to be met. If you have a year that you've met your deductible for other medical care, then it shouldn't cost anything. When I had it, at the 3 week follow up - I was quite disheartened because it didn't seem to have made any difference in my eyesight & they were pretty puffy. But - Dr. Idris is right! It's now been almost 6 months & there is a big difference. It takes time to see the end result! Hope this might be helpful.
@@mariabroberg8887 Good for you. With hooded upper eyelids - vision is VERY often impaired peripherally & in the upper field of vision. Even though what I said didn't benefit you, it might benefit someone else.
I just turned 62 and this year I noticed my face melting. My eyes make me look sad. One eye is worse than the other, and although Upneeq opens my eye, the skin continues to overlap and push on my eyelashes, which rub on my glasses. Same thing when I use eyelid tape. I no longer like to see myself in the mirror or photos. I just haven't accepted to age gracefully.
I recently found you on UA-cam and I’m so glad I did! First of all, I love your personality! You are so much fun to watch! 😊 Secondly, you have talked about so many topics that I have personally dealt with! This one in particular! I have had two eyelid surgeries on my left eyelid. Only that one started dropping many years ago. I first went to a cosmetic plastic surgeon that didn’t specialize in eyes. The drooping actually got worse. It was so disheartening. Then after it fully healed, I went to an ophthalmologist. It did help but it is not perfect. But then again what is right? I’ve left it alone and don’t notice it as much anymore. Age is taking effect now! I turn 50 this year. Also love your videos about eczema. I too suffer w eczema and allergies. I too have worn contacts daily since age 11! Keep the videos coming! Love them! And your eyes are absolutely beautiful! I certainly didn’t notice any imperfections. Thank you for the content and information!
This is literally something I'm researching right now. I'm "wiser" and I'm considering treatments/surgery. I do think the droopiness is affecting my vision as I frequently check if my vision improves if I gently lift them (it does). But I'd also want a brow lift at this point. Botox and fillers aren't working much any longer and the resulting look doesn't just make me look tired all the time, but it makes me feel tired, too. :(
I have struggled with extreme insecurities because of my eyelid that droops. My left eye. I have what's called Marcus Gund syndrome. The jaw winking syndrome. I was so insecure because of being teased, etc, as a child and stared at. It took many years to even just overcome to a degree. I did start to feel more secure as I hit my 40s only, and I'm only 46. So not long. But I've recently started to feel insecure again as I'm aging, as I notice my left eye becoming heavier and more noticeable. I'm not sure if it's I'm in my head as my children say they don't notice, but I'm sure it is. I had major surgery to try and correct it when I was 6 years old. I don't think it made much of a difference, but my mom said it did. Sometimes, I feel frustrated with why I was born like this. However, there could be lot worse things someone could have. My Mom was given a pill to help with morning sickness, and this was a side effect. There were others who took the same medication, and the children had severe deformities, so I know I am very lucky in many ways. It's just overwhelming when some people stare. Even at my age as much as I try to ignore them, it still upsets me. People are very disrespectful. Maybe I'm just worrying. I would like to have a procedure to help but because it's caused by a neurological issue I'm not sure I can. You do give me hope though ❤ This is a rare syndrome not Many in the world have it. ❤
I have the same issue as Dr. Idriss and I’m seeing a neuro ophthalmologist to determine the cause and the plan for me. In my case, my right pupil is also smaller than my left so we need to find cause in case it is nerve damage. Thank you to the fates of good timing for this video.
I had bells palsy and even after I recovered the use of facial muscles, the eyelid on the affected side started drooping. It's usually made worse when stress triggers nervous eye tics.
Thank you so much for this video! I messaged you last week about droopy eyelids and here is the video. Thant shows that you really listen to us! Love you!
Great video! Could you please make a video about how to find a good “Botox-Dr”!? I am in my early forty’s and I am considering Botox but I am honestly overwhelmed and a bit lost in how to find a reputable Dr who really knows what he/she’s doing
Salut ma belle! I have something similar like you: a naturally slightly droopy left eyelid and I wear contacts since I was 14 (40now). I absolutely don’t mind the mini-ptosis, I already have big eyes and I look much younger (nb: merci de partager ton expertise de dermatologue avec nous tous). Unlike you, though, I’ve decided to have an eye surgery and not wear contacts anymore (-6) as apparently one can start not supporting contacts at one point. Can’t wait!! I have the best doctor here in Paris and worldwide, a 100% trust! I’d like to reiterate: rubbing your eyes is Very Very bad for many reasons, so be gentle, especially when you take your makeup off. I may want to try your less invasive treatment, will talk to my doctor. Thank you, you’re a jewel ✨
Thank you for doing this video on this subject with such thorough explanation of the reason and treatment options!! I have always had hooded eyes and have been wearing contacts forever but a decade ago I ended up with a terrible series of head injuries that I now have one eyelid drooping way more than the other due to it as well as age, so again thank you for this video on this subject!
Thank you for taking the time to share all the tips💛 I appreciate all the advice, it has helped me so much I have been wondering about Vitamin D in skincare. It seems like such a great addition to a skincare routine. Why isn't it talked about more often?
I have to agree, thank you for all the informative videos. Love to watch your your videos and your French is just is great to me!! It’s lovely to hear. You’re awesome ❤️
#1 I'm so glad you made this video! #2 I literally can't tell the difference between the Ulthera before and after. You look amazing then and now and I'm not just saying that to be nice. My lids are getting heavier and I'm looking into this stuff. I will look into Upneeq and Ulthera and others. Thank you so much! (And I'm very much liking Major Fade - all 3)
Hey Shereene! I’m new on your channel but already in love and I watched tons of your videos! Tu es une reine! J’apprécie énormément ton engrangement et tu es bien évidemment une experte dans ta domaine ça se voit tout de suite! As we are entering spring season soon I’d love to see a video on that like best products for spring season something si tu vois ce que je veut dire 😅 Again, milles merci pour tout ce que tu fais! ❤️❤️❤️
I adore you, Dr. Idriss. Binge watching your videos every weekend. Learned a humongous amount from you. Love your personality and your content ✨️ I am recently started to take care of my aging skin. Luckily, I am living in New York City and really hope one day I can meet you in person at your office . 🙏 Viktoria 💖
Thank you for the video and all instructions. Will consider a surgery at an earlier stage. You are right we don’t want to look so different from one day to the other.
ive had hooded eyelids my whole life and now over 50 my vision was starting to get impaired. i considered surgery but i decided to take the non invasive route. i had to take action because it was getting in the way of my daily life. i literally corrected my droopy eyelids with the power of my subconscious mind. after having droopy eyelids my whole life i had the access to the solution all along! best solution ever! no surgeries, no drugs or expensive treatments. success!
Wow. People have been telling me “I don’t see it” and “no your crazy” because I couldn’t put my finger on it but contacts! Thank you for making this video it is something I have noticed since high school, an insecurity. I believe my allergies make my eyelid puffy and so sometimes people can’t see it? Or I’m just nuts 😂
You're distractingly beautiful and I feel like no matter how great a job I do at my skincare I will just never be as pretty as you! 😭😭😭 Well, I have made some strides by consistent strategic massaging of my face with my Foreo for YEARS, and I finally figured out what makeup works for my eyes and that I shouldn't put mascara on my inner lashes, but I'd have to get a nose job to get to your level! 😭😭😭 And I only have half the genes for green eyes, so I turned out with brown eyes 😭😭😭 My bfs have always loved my stupid brown eyes, but who cares what THEY like, *I* want to like my eyes too!!! 😭😭😭 And my stupid brows are already too high, I have large space between my eyes and brows, prolly partially from having slightly hooded eyes, and SMALL eyes 😖 Ok, I'll stop complaining, but you're jaw dropping!
Thanks for this video! What would you suggest for dry aging eyelids? I have very visible lines in them and find it hard to wear eyeshadows now. What creams/ primers would u suggest? Devices ?
So can Botox cause more hooded eyes and jowls? I get Botox from a neurologist for migraines. And I’m wondering if she places them differently than a plastic or dermatologist would and if that’s what’s causing the issues. Do dermatologists do Botox for migraines? I get shots in my jaw, across the top of my head, my forehead and my neck/ shoulder. Could this be the issue? Is my dr simply not well versed in the places to place Botox to not cause a cosmetic issue? We moved and this only started happening with the new dr. It never happened with the previous dr.
Hi Dr Idriss! Love your content as per usual. Would love to see how you would address atopic dermatitis on the eyelids on mature skin? I basically can't tolerate makeup of any kind without my eyes looking like little lizards :/
I’m SO schocked nobody has ever talked about the enVy pillow and copper case. It’s like a device that does not need plugging in. Sleeping on most pillows messes up all the hard work we put in with devices
I had a "mono-lid" / hooded eyes with droopy eyelids and I got rid of it just using Gua Sha. I've used it every now and then since 2017. Some times months go by and the skin over my eyes still is firm. Now, I don't have a mono-lid any more, but the Gua Sha created an actual eye lid. So the shape of my eyes changed so much. My face look more open, youthful and energised. Thank you Gua Sha! :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have hooded eyes and I have already talked to a plastic surgeon about blepharoplasty. After the appointment I wasn't really into it since I would have to repeat it after 8 years. And then your video popped up and l learned about Ulthera. I googled it and next week I have an appointment. Did l thank you? 💕
I have hooded eyelids and I get migraines. And after a day or two of migraines my lids are so droopy it’s awful, in fact my whole face gets droopy. It dies go away until the next migraine. Fun times.
Just love love your necklace and earrings. I guess you could say I’m partial to jewelry that is “different”. I am an avid fan of your channel. Keep up your good work.
What's your take on switching between different serums throughout the week to target different skin issues such as acne and hyperpigmention? Is it better to focus on one at a time to see the results quicker? Thank you so much for all your info. It's been very helpful.
Hi Dr. Idriss! I’ve been a fan of your videos and guidance for a few years… I’m in my 40’s, in need to start injectable’s and treatments and would fly cross-country just to see you!! However it seems new patients have to be scheduled a year out? Any suggestions? Would love to see you as I embark on my much needed journey of injectable’s and treatments. Hope to hear from you! Thanks for your videos!!
Thank you so much definitely educational. I have allergies and always rubbing my eyes is terrible. I will not rub anymore. i actually take ice and it helps me so much the itch goes away. Thx you again.
Has anyone else seen those like “sticky” things for eye lids to make your eyes seem more open? I legit was going to buy them yesterday! Would they make things worse do y’all think?
Thank you for this video! Only just this week I came to the conclusion that I have something done about my eyelids. (For another two months) I'm not even 50 yet but for past year or so it's really become an issue, and now there's not even any point using mascara. Panda eyes!🐼 I don't find that it affects my vision so I don't have my hopes up for having the NHS (DK) paying for the procedure. But thanks to this video I will make sure to get a professional check up before flashing the credit card.😏 🙏
So happy I found you... this is my 5th video watching you on shit I struggle with... with no real answers, or insight that makes sense to my occurring issues. From niacinamide dose for hyperpigmentation being misrepresented, to this video and my fallen lacrimal gland. I tried to tell them the lump in my eye crease happened when I had allergic triggers on after another a few years ago 1 summmer... and my roght eye was feeling more annoyed than the left it was reacting more idk why... but the rubbing i did from how horrible they were those few months... Thats when i noticed it gradually developing a lump... and cuz of stupid covid... no one would see me and they all guessed over the phone... then last year i finally saw an orbital eye specialist and he said it was old age... And i said i really think it was from how severe the allergies got and from rubbing... i said i beleieved its from injury.. But i get gaslighted by every doctor... and the write down all this bullshit that isnt true... cuz they dont listen to their patients to discover the cause or history of events in a timeline that gives so many clues.
My mom just had surgery for her droopy eyelids. A few months before her, my step dad did as well. And they said 5 or 6 people at their work also had it done. What is going on?!
My eye doctor talked to me a week ago about surgery. My eyelids have dropped far enough to make it hard to see but it's also causing problems with keeping my eyes clean. I'm 68 Big time eye rubbing person here. Allergies and chronic sinus.
Thanks for this video! As a follow-up on the topics you covered, do you have a video on how to properly apply eye drops and put in contact lenses to avoid long-term damage to the eye tissue/muscles?
Hi Shereene! I noticed how amazing your face looks around your nose. What do you do about the nasolobial folds? I use retinol (even though you don’t recommend it). Is there anything else I can do?
I just found you and love your information. Just wondering if you have a video on your complete skincare routine? I went to your store but there are so many items. Thank you
Dr. Idriss can you please film a video on how to deal with dry scalps esp for those with fine or textured hair which is prone to being weighed down? Thank you
I dont know who needs to hear this but I fixed mine, no surgery needed. One time doc suggested I use a corticosteroid for my skin to be more thin and thats when I realised. Droopy eyelid is caused either by weak muscles or just additional skin. If the latter, buy a weak corticosteroid over the counter, rub it on the eyelid and youll make it thinner - its a side effect of the drug. I did it, now it looks symmetrical even without using it (the reason I said that is cause it lubricates the skin giving you an impression of the droopy eyelid being smaller) but of course - consult this with a doctor blabla. 🙂
Hi dr. Shereene, I would to ask you about the damages make-up can cause over the years. We usually focus so much on using the good products with the perfect ingredients for our skin. In this process, we usually think that our skin will absorb “the good things”. Later on, we put makeup on, such as foundation, blushes, eye shadow,and so forth. We then forget that make-up also have ingredients, and that our skin will absorb those ingredients from our make-up too over the years as well as any other products for the skin. Make-up can then be counterproductive, especially if some ingredients in the make-up products cause dryness, itchiness and irritation, while other ingredients may be harmful using in the long term without any visible changes that could be seen on a regular day-to-day basis. Which ingredients in make-up products should we stay away from? Which ingredients in make-up is good for the skin and which ingredients are bad for the skin? Should we stay away from make-up or can we use it all-year-around without any damages on the skin connected to the long-term use of make-up? I think this is a topic that skincare nerds usually forget about. Our skin will absorb the ingredients in make-up just as any other product applied to the skin. I'm looking forward to see you cover this topic Shereene. Sincerely, Sija

One eye is worse than the other, and although Upneeq opens my eye, the skin continues to overlap and push on my eyelashes, which rub on my glasses. Same thing when I use eyelid tape. I no longer like to see myself in the mirror or photos. I just haven't accepted to age gracefully.
I recently found you on UA-cam and I’m so glad I did! First of all, I love your personality! You are so much fun to watch! 😊 Secondly, you have talked about so many topics that I have personally dealt with! This one in particular! I have had two eyelid surgeries on my left eyelid. Only that one started dropping many years ago. I first went to a cosmetic plastic surgeon that didn’t specialize in eyes. The drooping actually got worse. It was so disheartening. Then after it fully healed, I went to an ophthalmologist. It did help but it is not perfect. But then again what is right? I’ve left it alone and don’t notice it as much anymore. Age is taking effect now! I turn 50 this year. Also love your videos about eczema. I too suffer w eczema and allergies. I too have worn contacts daily since age 11! Keep the videos coming! Love them! And your eyes are absolutely beautiful! I certainly didn’t notice any imperfections. Thank you for the content and information!
This is literally something I'm researching right now. I'm "wiser" and I'm considering treatments/surgery. I do think the droopiness is affecting my vision as I frequently check if my vision improves if I gently lift them (it does). But I'd also want a brow lift at this point. Botox and fillers aren't working much any longer and the resulting look doesn't just make me look tired all the time, but it makes me feel tired, too. :(
You can see an opthalmologist.- they'll do a test. See my earlier reply to another person.
Thank you for this extremely informative video. I’m 48 and just got an upper Blepharoplasty and love it!
I have struggled with extreme insecurities because of my eyelid that droops. My left eye. I have what's called Marcus Gund syndrome. The jaw winking syndrome.
I was so insecure because of being teased, etc, as a child and stared at. It took many years to even just overcome to a degree. I did start to feel more secure as I hit my 40s only, and I'm only 46. So not long.
But I've recently started to feel insecure again as I'm aging, as I notice my left eye becoming heavier and more noticeable. I'm not sure if it's I'm in my head as my children say they don't notice, but I'm sure it is.
I had major surgery to try and correct it when I was 6 years old. I don't think it made much of a difference, but my mom said it did.
Sometimes, I feel frustrated with why I was born like this. However, there could be lot worse things someone could have.
My Mom was given a pill to help with morning sickness, and this was a side effect. There were others who took the same medication, and the children had severe deformities, so I know I am very lucky in many ways.
It's just overwhelming when some people stare. Even at my age as much as I try to ignore them, it still upsets me. People are very disrespectful. Maybe I'm just worrying.
I would like to have a procedure to help but because it's caused by a neurological issue I'm not sure I can. You do give me hope though ❤
This is a rare syndrome not Many in the world have it. ❤
Please don't think too much about it. Stay strong, ma'am. 👍
I have the same issue as Dr. Idriss and I’m seeing a neuro ophthalmologist to determine the cause and the plan for me. In my case, my right pupil is also smaller than my left so we need to find cause in case it is nerve damage. Thank you to the fates of good timing for this video.
I had bells palsy and even after I recovered the use of facial muscles, the eyelid on the affected side started drooping. It's usually made worse when stress triggers nervous eye tics.
Me too.
Thank you so much for this video! I messaged you last week about droopy eyelids and here is the video. Thant shows that you really listen to us! Love you!
Great video! Could you please make a video about how to find a good “Botox-Dr”!? I am in my early forty’s and I am considering Botox but I am honestly overwhelmed and a bit lost in how to find a reputable Dr who really knows what he/she’s doing
Wow! That was a very thorough and informative lecture. Thank you.
Thank you Dr Idriss. Please do a part 2 video with more información on home devices and other in office dermatological treatments.
Salut ma belle! I have something similar like you: a naturally slightly droopy left eyelid and I wear contacts since I was 14 (40now). I absolutely don’t mind the mini-ptosis, I already have big eyes and I look much younger (nb: merci de partager ton expertise de dermatologue avec nous tous).
Unlike you, though, I’ve decided to have an eye surgery and not wear contacts anymore (-6) as apparently one can start not supporting contacts at one point. Can’t wait!! I have the best doctor here in Paris and worldwide, a 100% trust! I’d like to reiterate: rubbing your eyes is Very Very bad for many reasons, so be gentle, especially when you take your makeup off.
I may want to try your less invasive treatment, will talk to my doctor. Thank you, you’re a jewel ✨
Thank you for doing this video on this subject with such thorough explanation of the reason and treatment options!! I have always had hooded eyes and have been wearing contacts forever but a decade ago I ended up with a terrible series of head injuries that I now have one eyelid drooping way more than the other due to it as well as age, so again thank you for this video on this subject!
Hi Doc ! Enjoyed this informative video . My problem are my eye bags . Hope you can do one on that . Thx !
Thank you for taking the time to share all the tips💛 I appreciate all the advice, it has helped me so much
I have been wondering about Vitamin D in skincare. It seems like such a great addition to a skincare routine. Why isn't it talked about more often?
I'm loving your tip on lip basting. My lips are so smooth and healthy looking. Thanks a bunch!
I have to agree, thank you for all the informative videos. Love to watch your your videos and your French is just is great to me!! It’s lovely to hear. You’re awesome ❤️
#1 I'm so glad you made this video! #2 I literally can't tell the difference between the Ulthera before and after. You look amazing then and now and I'm not just saying that to be nice. My lids are getting heavier and I'm looking into this stuff. I will look into Upneeq and Ulthera and others. Thank you so much! (And I'm very much liking Major Fade - all 3)
Hey Shereene! I’m new on your channel but already in love and I watched tons of your videos! Tu es une reine! J’apprécie énormément ton engrangement et tu es bien évidemment une experte dans ta domaine ça se voit tout de suite!
As we are entering spring season soon I’d love to see a video on that like best products for spring season something si tu vois ce que je veut dire 😅
Again, milles merci pour tout ce que tu fais! ❤️❤️❤️
Bell’s palsy made me so self conscious, I got a 90% recovery but whenever I talk you can definitely notice my frozen expressions on half of my face 😔
Same here. Had it twice as a teen and my face never fully recovered
I adore you, Dr. Idriss. Binge watching your videos every weekend. Learned a humongous amount from you. Love your personality and your content ✨️ I am recently started to take care of my aging skin. Luckily, I am living in New York City and really hope one day I can meet you in person at your office . 🙏 Viktoria 💖
Thank you Dr Shereene for this brilliant lecture 🕊⭐️ Bless you♥️
Excellent video! Thank you for the options fir tightening the face, lifting lids and your recommendation.
Love having your video every week.
Thank you for the video and all instructions. Will consider a surgery at an earlier stage. You are right we don’t want to look so different from one day to the other.
Thank you so much. I have one droopy eyelid and it bothers me. I am so excited to see that i have options to correct it.
Brilliant video but cam we talk about those eyelashes?!.😍what mascara?!
ive had hooded eyelids my whole life and now over 50 my vision was starting to get impaired. i considered surgery but i decided to take the non invasive route. i had to take action because it was getting in the way of my daily life. i literally corrected my droopy eyelids with the power of my subconscious mind. after having droopy eyelids my whole life i had the access to the solution all along! best solution ever! no surgeries, no drugs or expensive treatments. success!
The best video on this topic! Thank you!
Wow. People have been telling me “I don’t see it” and “no your crazy” because I couldn’t put my finger on it but contacts! Thank you for making this video it is something I have noticed since high school, an insecurity. I believe my allergies make my eyelid puffy and so sometimes people can’t see it? Or I’m just nuts 😂
Same with me. Nobody notices it except me, especially while taking a picture of mine. Its a very confusing insecurity.😅
You're distractingly beautiful and I feel like no matter how great a job I do at my skincare I will just never be as pretty as you! 😭😭😭 Well, I have made some strides by consistent strategic massaging of my face with my Foreo for YEARS, and I finally figured out what makeup works for my eyes and that I shouldn't put mascara on my inner lashes, but I'd have to get a nose job to get to your level! 😭😭😭 And I only have half the genes for green eyes, so I turned out with brown eyes 😭😭😭 My bfs have always loved my stupid brown eyes, but who cares what THEY like, *I* want to like my eyes too!!! 😭😭😭 And my stupid brows are already too high, I have large space between my eyes and brows, prolly partially from having slightly hooded eyes, and SMALL eyes 😖 Ok, I'll stop complaining, but you're jaw dropping!
I loved this video! You are sooo smart! I love watching your videos!
Amazing video as always. Thank you Dr. Shereene.
Thanks for this video!
What would you suggest for dry aging eyelids? I have very visible lines in them and find it hard to wear eyeshadows now. What creams/ primers would u suggest? Devices ?
So can Botox cause more hooded eyes and jowls?
I get Botox from a neurologist for migraines. And I’m wondering if she places them differently than a plastic or dermatologist would and if that’s what’s causing the issues.
Do dermatologists do Botox for migraines?
I get shots in my jaw, across the top of my head, my forehead and my neck/ shoulder. Could this be the issue? Is my dr simply not well versed in the places to place Botox to not cause a cosmetic issue?
We moved and this only started happening with the new dr. It never happened with the previous dr.
Hi Dr Idriss! Love your content as per usual. Would love to see how you would address atopic dermatitis on the eyelids on mature skin? I basically can't tolerate makeup of any kind without my eyes looking like little lizards :/
I have the same and it is very uncomfortable.
I’m SO schocked nobody has ever talked about the enVy pillow and copper case. It’s like a device that does not need plugging in. Sleeping on most pillows messes up all the hard work we put in with devices
Last month I underwent plexr blépharoplastie and the result is amazing
I had a "mono-lid" / hooded eyes with droopy eyelids and I got rid of it just using Gua Sha. I've used it every now and then since 2017. Some times months go by and the skin over my eyes still is firm. Now, I don't have a mono-lid any more, but the Gua Sha created an actual eye lid. So the shape of my eyes changed so much. My face look more open, youthful and energised. Thank you Gua Sha! :D
Great video. Multiple Sclerosis, which is what causes mine, can also cause ptosis.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I have hooded eyes and I have already talked to a plastic surgeon about blepharoplasty. After the appointment I wasn't really into it since I would have to repeat it after 8 years. And then your video popped up and l learned about Ulthera. I googled it and next week I have an appointment.
Did l thank you? 💕
I have hooded eyelids and I get migraines. And after a day or two of migraines my lids are so droopy it’s awful, in fact my whole face gets droopy. It dies go away until the next migraine. Fun times.
omg i love, you explain everything so beautifully!
Just love love your necklace and earrings. I guess you could say I’m partial to jewelry that is “different”. I am an avid fan of your channel. Keep up your good work.
What's your take on switching between different serums throughout the week to target different skin issues such as acne and hyperpigmention? Is it better to focus on one at a time to see the results quicker? Thank you so much for all your info. It's been very helpful.
Hi Dr. Idriss! I’ve been a fan of your videos and guidance for a few years… I’m in my 40’s, in need to start injectable’s and treatments and would fly cross-country just to see you!! However it seems new patients have to be scheduled a year out? Any suggestions? Would love to see you as I embark on my much needed journey of injectable’s and treatments. Hope to hear from you! Thanks for your videos!!
I emailed the office in October last year and have never heard back....
Thank you so much definitely educational. I have allergies and always rubbing my eyes is terrible. I will not rub anymore. i actually take ice and it helps me so much the itch goes away. Thx you again.
I use the last product you mention. It is very effective and last about 6-8 hours.
Can you write the name of the product please? Thanks 🙏🏻
@@rosannapolanco2398 Upneeq (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.1%
Has anyone else seen those like “sticky” things for eye lids to make your eyes seem more open? I legit was going to buy them yesterday!
Would they make things worse do y’all think?
Your eyelashes are amazing in this video!! What mascara are you using?
Thank you for this video!
Only just this week I came to the conclusion that I have something done about my eyelids. (For another two months) I'm not even 50 yet but for past year or so it's really become an issue, and now there's not even any point using mascara. Panda eyes!🐼 I don't find that it affects my vision so I don't have my hopes up for having the NHS (DK) paying for the procedure. But thanks to this video I will make sure to get a professional check up before flashing the credit card.😏 🙏
Thank you for making this video. As I have this problem only one side and doing some research before surgery!
Your eyes and lids look perfect
I like the look of slightly droopy lids…better than the super wide eyed look that is noticed on people who are being deceptive
Looking forward to next week’s Vit C video! 😘
So happy I found you... this is my 5th video watching you on shit I struggle with... with no real answers, or insight that makes sense to my occurring issues.
From niacinamide dose for hyperpigmentation being misrepresented, to this video and my fallen lacrimal gland.
I tried to tell them the lump in my eye crease happened when I had allergic triggers on after another a few years ago 1 summmer... and my roght eye was feeling more annoyed than the left it was reacting more idk why... but the rubbing i did from how horrible they were those few months...
Thats when i noticed it gradually developing a lump... and cuz of stupid covid... no one would see me and they all guessed over the phone... then last year i finally saw an orbital eye specialist and he said it was old age...
And i said i really think it was from how severe the allergies got and from rubbing... i said i beleieved its from injury..
But i get gaslighted by every doctor... and the write down all this bullshit that isnt true... cuz they dont listen to their patients to discover the cause or history of events in a timeline that gives so many clues.
My mom just had surgery for her droopy eyelids. A few months before her, my step dad did as well. And they said 5 or 6 people at their work also had it done. What is going on?!
My eye doctor talked to me a week ago about surgery. My eyelids have dropped far enough to make it hard to see but it's also causing problems with keeping my eyes clean. I'm 68
Big time eye rubbing person here. Allergies and chronic sinus.
You are just amazing and so inspiring. Please can you make a video for faces with large pores 🙏
Can you do a video on the treatment you did please, I’ve heard lots about it but I only trust you
Thanks for this video! As a follow-up on the topics you covered, do you have a video on how to properly apply eye drops and put in contact lenses to avoid long-term damage to the eye tissue/muscles?
Love all your content❤
Hi Shereene! I noticed how amazing your face looks around your nose. What do you do about the nasolobial folds? I use retinol (even though you don’t recommend it). Is there anything else I can do?
I just found you and love your information. Just wondering if you have a video on your complete skincare routine? I went to your store but there are so many items. Thank you
I’m just wondering. I’ve never heard shereene talk about skin care for eyelids in general to prevent wrinkles.
Can you please talk about Endoliftlaser?
Dr. Idriss can you please film a video on how to deal with dry scalps esp for those with fine or textured hair which is prone to being weighed down? Thank you
I dont know who needs to hear this but I fixed mine, no surgery needed. One time doc suggested I use a corticosteroid for my skin to be more thin and thats when I realised. Droopy eyelid is caused either by weak muscles or just additional skin. If the latter, buy a weak corticosteroid over the counter, rub it on the eyelid and youll make it thinner - its a side effect of the drug. I did it, now it looks symmetrical even without using it (the reason I said that is cause it lubricates the skin giving you an impression of the droopy eyelid being smaller) but of course - consult this with a doctor blabla. 🙂
Thanks for the lessons in options for these eyelids of mine.
10:18 definitely sounds like the route I need to go: Ultrasound energy heat and Radio Frequency heat
Eyelid drooping has a completely natural recovery method without the need for surgical intervention
how so ?
Thank you! Now please put a video about circle around the eye! 🙂
Green becomes her soo well
Hi dr. Shereene,
I would to ask you about the damages make-up can cause over the years.
We usually focus so much on using the good products with the perfect ingredients for our skin. In this process, we usually think that our skin will absorb “the good things”. Later on, we put makeup on, such as foundation, blushes, eye shadow,and so forth. We then forget that make-up also have ingredients, and that our skin will absorb those ingredients from our make-up too over the years as well as any other products for the skin. Make-up can then be counterproductive, especially if some ingredients in the make-up products cause dryness, itchiness and irritation, while other ingredients may be harmful using in the long term without any visible changes that could be seen on a regular day-to-day basis.
Which ingredients in make-up products should we stay away from? Which ingredients in make-up is good for the skin and which ingredients are bad for the skin? Should we stay away from make-up or can we use it all-year-around without any damages on the skin connected to the long-term use of make-up?
I think this is a topic that skincare nerds usually forget about. Our skin will absorb the ingredients in make-up just as any other product applied to the skin.
I'm looking forward to see you cover this topic Shereene.
Sincerely,
Sija

Very informative video! Has there been a video on the NIRA Laser?
Can you speak more about Ulthera and that category of treatments? ❤
Hi Shereene, I don’t know how Ulthera works, i found a doctor but the assistant is asking me in which part of the face i want the treatment, I didn’t know it can be made by pieces of the face, i thought it had to be done in the hole face as you never explain it. Thank you 😊
