What Are Puffy Eyelids?
Puffy eyelids occur when excess fluid builds up in the soft tissues around the eyes, causing swelling and a tired or aged appearance. This condition can be temporary or persistent, mild or severe, and is often most noticeable upon waking.
Common Causes
-
Lack of Sleep
Inadequate rest can lead to fluid retention and poor circulation, contributing to puffiness. -
Allergies
Allergic reactions trigger inflammation and swelling in the eye area. -
Diet & Lifestyle
High salt intake, alcohol, and dehydration can all cause water retention. -
Aging
As skin loses elasticity and muscle tone, fat can shift and settle in the eyelids. -
Medical Conditions
Conditions like thyroid disorders, infections, or kidney issues may also cause eyelid swelling.
