What causes puffy eyelids?

There are many reasons for eyelid swelling. First of all, it is related to genetics. Some people are born with more subcutaneous fat, which appears thicker, giving people the feeling of eyelid swelling. In addition, it is caused by bad living habits. The most common one is poor sleep and rest, which will affect the blood flow back to the face, leading to eyelid swelling. In addition, drinking too much water at night will cause water poisoning, which is also prone to this situation. Similar situations are generally well recovered after good conditioning and will naturally subside. However, pathological eyelid edema should be taken seriously, such as eyelid edema caused by kidney disease.
