About Puffy Eyes

Puffy eyes, or periorbital edema, is a common condition where swelling occurs around the eyes due to fluid accumulation. While often a cosmetic concern, it can sometimes indicate underlying medical issues. An Internal Medicine specialist approaches puffy eyes by first conducting a thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify the root cause, which can range from allergies, sinus infections, and thyroid disorders to kidney or heart conditions. Treatment is not a single 'procedure' but a personalized management plan. This may involve lifestyle modifications, dietary changes (like reducing salt intake), managing allergies, treating infections, or addressing systemic diseases. The goal is to reduce swelling, alleviate discomfort, and treat any underlying health problem, restoring both appearance and function.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Johnson, a 42-year-old financial analyst,...

Ishaan Johnson, a 42-year-old financial analyst, had been working 70-hour weeks for months to close a major deal. The chronic stress and poor sleep manifested as persistent, severe puffiness under his eyes that made him look perpetually exhausted. Despite using every over-the-counter cream and cold compress, the swelling wouldn't subside, affecting his confidence in client meetings. His internist, Dr. Chen, recommended a series of targeted corticosteroid injections to reduce the inflammatory fluid retention, explaining it was a physical sign of his body's stress overload. The in-office procedure was quick, with mild pinching sensations. Over the next week, the puffiness dramatically decreased. Ishaan felt a visible weight lifted, not just from his face but from his self-perception. The experience was a wake-up call; he began therapy for stress management, seeing the procedure not as vanity but as the first step in addressing his health holistically.
