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

Asked By:chloe6073 in Ohio, OH

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!
