Heredity and Age: Individuals with family history of swollen under eyes are more prone to it and are likely to develop it at some point in life. Aging is another contributing factor towards the occurrence of puffy under eyes. Injury: Injury close to eyes or around the eyelids can also cause the eyes to swell.
