Hello, Eyelid thickening may result from frequent late-night activities, which can impair the eyes’ ability to withstand excessive pressure. This condition can be addressed surgically via eyelid liposuction to reduce eyelid thickness. Modern liposuction procedures involve local anesthesia administration. Mild discomfort may occur for approximately three days post-surgery; however, with proper, standardized postoperative care and maintenance, the procedure is safe, leaves no adverse effects, and yields noticeable results. If needed, please consult a local hospital for further evaluation and advice. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
