In your 30's would be an excellent time to have Thermage for your eyes. Your body through the heat of radiofrequency will produce a great deal of collagen and lift the sagging skin, in your eyes, or jowls, or any part of the body that the CPT tip for Thermage would be used. Thermage is user dependent and you need to consult an expert in this laser for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
Thermage® is a safe, non-invasive, radiofrequency (RF) cosmetic procedure that’s clinically proven to help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime —on all skin colors, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Fast and easy, you can even come in during your lunch break and return to work after! Thermage® uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep, collagen rich layers of your skin. The heat helps tighten existing collagen and stimulate the formation of new collagen, which reduces sagging, renews contours, and improves the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface. Comfort Pulse Technology, including a vibrating handpiece delivers enhanced patient comfort. On the face, Thermage® can treat sagging skin, loose jowls, lack of definition in the jaw line, sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”), wrinkles and fine lines, and lack of definition in the lips. Around the eyes, Thermage® can treat under eye bags, hooding, rough texture on the eyelids, wrinkles and fine lines, and other contributors to tired looking eyes. Elsewhere on the body, Thermage® can treat wrinkled, sagging or bulging skin as well as the appearance of cellulite! While you will see an improvement immediately, Thermage® usually takes up to 6 months to see the maximum result and this improvement is said to last approximately 18 months. Often patients repeat Thermage® more often to get additional tightening. It's important, of course, to make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist because results can be variable depending on who is performing the procedure.
Thermage works on lifting the skin and tightening and producing new collagen for the face and body. However, if you have unilateral eyelid drooping it sounds as if you need an oculoplastic surgeon to correct it. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

It is unusual to have any "down time" at all after Thermage. That is one of the beautiful things about Thermage. I have not seen any swelling like you are describing. I would definitely return to your treating physician for examination. Please keep me posted. Best, Dr. Green
