Can crying daily for a month straight cause damage or permanent puffiness to my under eyes?

Asked By:Clrsnw in Charlotte, NC

I recently went through a bad and unexpected break up followed two weeks later by the death of my beloved grandmother. Needless to say there was a lot of crying for a long period of time. I'd say a month daily. I haven't cried in several months but my undereyes are still puffy. Can crying daily for a month straight cause damage or permanent puffiness to my undereyes? If it isn't a fat issue what else can be done for this?
