Surgery for bags under the eyes
A very common aging change in the lower eyelids is the development of 'bags', which are in most cases due to an outward bulging of the fat pads behind the lower lids. These 'bags' of fat can be improved by conservative removal through an invisible incision on the inside of the lower lid (trans-conjunctival approach) in patients that do not require skin excision, or through the under-eyelash (sub-ciliary approach) in patients that are having some excess lower lid skin removed.

Restylane or Radiesse are two good filler options.
Fat grafting can result in longer lasting results 2/3 of the time.

Undereye Bags
Bags under the eyes are a very frustrating problem! While many creams promise to help reduce their appearance, they simply can't change the fact that eye bags are an anatomical problem and can't be addressed with something topical.

Treatments for bags under eyes
A picture would be helpful to give you detailed advice, but there would basically be two options to help with bags under the eyes. You could have surgery to remove some of the fat or you could have an injection of a hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, or Belotero) under the bags to help hide them.
