Asked By:Mariana.s in Ballston Lake, NY

I'm 23 years old, and my eyes are getting hooded I don't know why! I used to have deepest eyes but few months ago my right eye started to get puffy I tried cold and hot pads but nothing worked, now both eyes are puffy around they eye folds, inner corners and almost the whole non-mobile eyelid, should I see a plastic surgeon, a dermatologist or an Ophthalmologist?!
