I feel as though this is getting worse with age. I'm currently 34 years old. I know that I'm smiling in my more current photo, but my eye lids look the same even when I'm not smiling.
Answer: Young but full eyes Patients should always examined in person but I do often see young patients with full upper lids. This is not necessarily excess skin but can be excess upper lid and brow fat. Removing this can help deepen the upper lid crease and make a less crowded eye.

Answer: Blepharoplasty is a great option It looks like you would get a great result from an upper blepharoplasty. That procedure removes the excess fullness in the upper lids (below the brows). The scar heals incredibly well and is well hidden in the natural crease. I personally perform these in the office, no need for an OR. We remove sutures in 3-4 days.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty to address puffy upper eyelids Based on your photos, you would likely be a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty. The goal of surgery would be to help give you a more defined upper eyelid crease and take away some of the heaviness of the upper eyelid while maintaining a very natural look. In younger patients like you, excess eyelid fat can also be removed to help refine the eyelid.

Answer: Eyebrow lift may help a lot You have frontal complex ptosis (low position) due to early aging and low eyebrows, making you an ideal candidate for upper third lift, aka eyebrow lift, forehead lift, upper ritidectomy, etc. Find a good surgeon, and I recommend you avoid endoscopic technicas and also avoid full open coronal approach, the best is with to incisions of 4-5 cm at each temple and 2 rows of anchoring sutures.

Answer: Upper Blepharoplasty You have natural hooding of the upper eyelids without a distinct crease, thus the 'puffy' appearance. You would benefit from an upper blepharoplasty to create a more defined upper eyelid crease instead of a non-creased eyelid which makes it look puffy.
