I think you would appreciate the results of a transconjunctival blepharoplasty.  You have fat that should be able to be accessed relatively easily.  I would only want to make sure you have no underlying thyroid issue. 

After any eyelid surgery, it is common to have some temporary eye irritation.  This can be due to any sutures on the inside of the lid or the eyelids not closing completely.  The sutures will disolve with time.  The normal blinking of the eyelid also will improve with time.  The best thing to do for each situation is to use ocular lubrication.  This would include artificial tears that you can get over the counter.  i would suggest using these 4 times a day to start wtih.  Also, you can use a lubricating ointment in the eyes at night, also available over the counter.

Try to be patient, although this can be hard.  It is still early.
