I'm 26, is Lower Eyelift the Best Procedure for my Saggy and Puffy Eye Bags? (photo)

I've always had saggy/puffy eyebags and really dislike it, I believe it's hereditary from my father. They are always present but are more visual normally in the morning and when I begin to get tired around 7pm. Is lower eyelid surgery the best procedure or are there better alternatives? Please advise. Thanks!

Yes, a Lower Blepharoplasty or Lower Eyelid Surgery would address the lower eyelid fat bags. I prefer using the Transconjunctival approach with the incision on the inside of the eyelids for this procedure.
