Don't worry about wt: You probably are slightly heavier than you might be but losing weight will not affect the lids. What does your mother look like in her eyelids? The fat pads around the eyes are generally resistant to body weight issues unless you are seriously overweight. If your lids are a functional or cosmetic issue, then see an oculoplastic surgeon for a consultation.
