Massive upper eyelids- why and what can be done to reduce? (photo)

Humorous435333Jan 10, 2025
I’ve noticed that my upper eyelids have become very enlarged and heavy. It feels like they’re bulging outward almost as if I have another set of eyeballs in there. I’ve also been dealing with dry eyes and my eyes water when I talk. I’m wondering if these issues might be connected. Could this be related to a medical condition? Is there anything I can do to reduce the size of my upper eyelids? Very self conscious - any advise is greatly appreciated
