I am 41 and have always had a pouch directly under my lower lids when I smile. The last two years I have noticed that it is getting larger and that I also have some excess skin there too. I do not want surgery. Can either RF or Ultrasound lessen the orbital fat bags? If RF would work, is monopolar, bipolar, or tripolar best?

Your issue is not lower eyelid fat.

What you are showing in the photograph is a muscle roll just below the lower eyelid. When you smile the cheek gets pushed up to heap at the junction of the lower eyelid and midface. You also have crows feet lines. Neither RF or ultrasound will address your issues. It would be best to have an in person examination. I suspect that you could have a great deal of help with BOTOX and Restylane filler.
