Under-eye bags aren’t always caused by poor sleep, stress, or getting older. For some people, the fat pads beneath the eyes naturally protrude forward, creating puffiness that can make you look tired even when you’re well-rested.
When genetics are the cause, eye creams and extra sleep won’t eliminate the underlying fat pads.
For younger patients with good skin elasticity, lower blepharoplasty can often be performed through an incision hidden inside the lower eyelid, avoiding visible external scars. Patients with excess skin or weakened supporting tissues may require a different surgical approach.
The earlier you develop eye bags doesn’t necessarily mean you need surgery sooner, but it may affect which treatment options are available to you.
