Under Eye Bags and Stretched Skin?

Hello, I am a 25 year old male. I have been going through an extremely rough 2/3 month period. In this time due to lack of sleep, medication, diet I kept waking up with bags under my eyes due to water retention. Every morning they kept getting bigger. Now if I dont watch what I eat or drink alcohol they swell up like balloons. Can you please offer me some advice. Will the skin tighten up again? I never had this issue before and it's destroying my confidence and my life

Please consult in person with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making any treatment decisions.
