I'm 22 and I've had undereye bags forever, pretty sure it's genetic. People ask often: "are you tired," or "did you not sleep last night?" Also, I've broken my nose twice, and the last time it completely shifted the bone near the top. I really don't like the way my profile looks from most angles,to me, it looks out of balance (chin/nose) and it often showcases my undereye bags. Also I often appear slightly jowly in my opinion, I have genetic fat in my lower face/chin/neck area? Advice?

This will involve re-breaking the nose, realigning the nasal bones, and applying a cast across the nose so that it heals straight.

Bags and a twice broken nose
So called congenital lower lid bags do exist. We often do lid surgery at the same time as corrective rhinoplasty. This save costs as well as your time>

Don't talk yourself into a facelift at age 22 this will definitely destroy your face. I do get the impression looking at your photos that you are sad. If you are clinically depressed, a relatively common condition, keep in mind that surgery does not fix clinical...
