What if Anything, Can I Do About the Fat Pockets Above my Eyes? (photo)

mz.understood
Ok, I asked this once, but I think I should have been more clearer. I have these fat pockets above both my eyelids. One fat pocket is smaller and less noticeable than the other, but they are both there. They definitely make my eyes look more closed than they should. If I slightly elevate the area where the fat pockets are its a huge difference. I am 20 yrs. old, is that too young for surgery? What are the other alternatives? Would I need orbital decompression surgery?
