droopy eyelids?

Hi, I have really deep droopy eylids. I am about 5"9 and weigh about 15 stons so am quite overweight. Is there any relation between me having eyelids like this and me being overweight?

If so, do you think if I lost weight the eyes would get better.

Thanks

Possibly, but it could be hereditary.

i think i may have described it wrong when thinking about it. i dont mean drooping at the bottom, but being really saggy and puffy at the top over my eye.

i know what you meant.
And the answers are the same.
Unless you have obviousish yellowy plaques on your eye lid, then losing weight won't help.
(yellow plaques would indicate high cholesterol).
