Non surgical options for eye bags

Unfortunately there are no good non-surgical options to treat lower eyelid bags.  Fillers can be used to mask the appearance but this is not a permanent solution.  You really would benefit from lower eyelid blepharoplasty.  I think you would be happy with the results and once the fat is removed, it would not return.  Also, water has nothing to do with the bags under your eyes but it is good to stay hydrated! Good luck!

Under Eye Bags (festoons) have NOTHING to do with Drinking Water...

Pronounced under eye bags sometimes called festoons have NOTHING to do with drinking water or failure to do so. The treatment of this deformity is surgery. If you are unwilling to have lower lid surgery there is no real effective correction that you can use.
