How can I get rid of thin, wrinkled, swollen eyelids? Upper and/or lower bleph? Lateral Canthopexy? Brow lift? (Photos)

Hi, The past few years I've been experiencing occasional bouts of significant eyelid swelling lasting either several days to several weeks. Sometimes it is severe enough that my eyes are nearly swollen shut. I've had to use prednisone to get rid of the swelling. I've noticed that my eyelids have become quite thin and wrinkled. The outer corners now droop down quite a bit. Should I consider surgery to lift the corners? Should I consider a brow lift or upper bleph to raise the upper eyelid?
