If the aging of the upper eyelids is manifested by excess skin, that of the lower eyelids is manifested above all by an excess of fat which bulges the skin of the eyelid resulting in "pockets" which give the look a tired appearance.
These pockets are sometimes familial and appear from the age of 30.
They aggravate the natural hollow located at the junction between the cheek and the eyelid which is called the ring.
