I have fat upper eyelids, can my problem be solved with weight loss? (Photo)

chloe6073
I've been poking around trying to determine some causes of my eyelid issues. I'm 21 and from a young age my eyes have always been uneven, and hooded. As I've grown older the area above my eyelids have become very fat. I think it is genetic, but I am also overweight. They've been hooded and heavy when I was thinner. Through weight loss will the forehead/eyelid area lose fat? The heaviness of my eyelids is becoming very irritating, and I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open all the way. Thanks!
