Find the cause: Hi! the most common causes for eyelid swelling are lack of sleep, excess salt or bulging fat pads. Temporary relief can be obtained with a cool compress or preparation h. The cause should be determined for best long- term treatment; surgery will sometimes improve puffiness permanently. Visit a facial plastic surgeon to determine if surgery is right for you. Good luck!
