pulling of the skin around the eyes

I had an eye examination today in which the doctor pulled the skin around my eyes both upwards and downwards for a short while. Will this have hurt the elasticity of the tissue, leaving the skin around the eyes more loose? Is one pull enough for this to happen? I´m 32 yrs old.
Thank you!

Thank you very much for your answer, Vanessa! I have taken your advice. No, there´s nothing wrong with the skin, I was just thinking of the general sensitiveness of it.
Have a good day!

Hi

I do not think this would affect skin elasticity around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is usually thinner and more sensitive than other areas of the body. Yet, it still has the properties of skin which includes elasticity. There is no need to worry here. Drink plenty of water and eat well. Also, get enough time to rest and sleep. You may apply vitamin E over the area to soften and smoothen the skin.

Is there anything wrong with the skin around your eyes lately?
