Fillers vs fat repositioning
The anatomic change that you show is a very common hereditary type eyelid problem. This can be addressed by "fat repositioning" lower eyelid blepharoplasty as a more permanent solution.

Often there is not a right or wrong about how to proceed. It comes down to what you are comfortable with.

The use of Botox to reduce wrinkles is temporarily and may require repeat injections every 3-6 months. Since you are young, one has to be careful not to be too aggressive in whatever cosmetic procedure is undertaken to take away your natural appearance. From your pictures, it appears that you may have some mild ptosis of both of your upper eyelids which could be corrected giving you even...
