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.
