Swollen/puffy patch of eyelid - how can I fix this? (Photo)

Question

Hi there, I have been struggling with this swollen/puffy patch on my eye lid. I am looking for advice on what this could be, and how I fix this? I have been to see an eye dr who has said it is not anything to do with my eyes and my eyes and surrounding are all healthy. Blood work all normal. Many thanks!

This appears to be fat from the orbital region.  This can be corrected with an upper blepharoplasty.

Best Wishes,

We typically do not make assessments based on dynamic expression.
Try including some pictures of your eyelids without contracting the surrounding muscles.
Consider contacting an oculoplastic surgeon to get options for surgical intervention.
Best,
