Do you think hooded eyes make people look older or younger?

so most of the people who have had eyelid surgery end up looking OLDER than they did before removing the hooded eyes. only some actually look better and not necessarily younger just better maybe look more "awake" not younger just less squinty, and it's only SOME.

HOWEVER if you search anywhere, the results in writing say that hooded eyes make you look AGED.

my other concern is, I was born with hooded eyes and I didn't have to wait for OLD age to get hooded eyes.

I'm 38 and people confuse me for a teenager, I believe it's because I have a round face, big cheeks AND hooded eyes but people say hooded eyes age you? then why do the people getting the surgery look older after? and why do people confuse me for being a teen in my lat 30's?

another thing I do notice is my photos of when I was actually a teenager what I notice the most on my face is that my eyes were MORE SQUINTY and as I age they have opened up more.
so from my on observations of my young self and my old self, the more the eye opens up the older people look, if my eyes wouldn't have opened up they would likely think I'm even in my early teens instead of 17 or 19 ..


are the people writing the results on the internet based on studies that are based on assumptions? because from what I'm seeing it all seems to be the opposite of what the search results say..

What's your opinion on this? Do you think hooded eyes age people in general or actually make them look younger, contrasting the results google gives entirely. Perhaps it's to make business for aesthetic surgery? like telling you this and this is bad so go have this and this surgery to look "better" and such?

I think that they make people look younger, generally. Usually non-hooded eyes make people look older since you get more wrinkles with that eye type. Whereas hooded eyes typically don’t develop wrinkles until you’re well old. But this is only based on personal opinion. I always struggle to guess people’s age if they have hooded eyes. But it also depends on their other facial features, too.

yes this is what I think as well based on my own experience how people always confuse me for younger and I try to look at my face and compare to others hooded eyes is one of them but if you search online it says the opposite that it AGES you, so then I see these people who have had eyelid surgery and while some might look better, they don't necessarily look any younger they just look awake, while OTHERS look way older than they did before the surgery so it makes me wonder why all the search results show basically the same thing but in real life it SEEMS to be the opposite and wanted to know people's opinion on this.
