I’m 33 years old. The inner corners of my upper eyelids are always swollen and droopy and seem to be getting worse over the last year. The right eye looks worse to me. What would you recommend? Is there anything non-surgical that can be done or is surgery my only option to fix this? I feel very self conscious about it. I do have allergies, but they’re being well controlled. I also have lost about 30 pounds within the last year and was wondering if that could’ve contributed?
