Hello,
It could be due to prolapse of fat into the periorbital spcae or accumalation of fluid in that space. Blepharoplasty will help in case of prolapse of fat. Periorbital space as spongy tissue and it can accumalate lot of fluid and fat due to the space. If you do not have any cause for fluid accumalation such as kidney problems, anemia with hypoproteinemia then it could be prolapse of fat.
Regards
