May need lower blepharoplasty!

Usually fillers such as juvederm will correct the shallow depression under the eyelid bag but if the fullness protrudes past the cheek bone, surgical removal of the fat and tightening of the skin may be necessary.

One has to determine the cause, whether it is caused by loss of fat around the eye making the fat becoming more prominent, or actual fat bags.
