Solution to Congenital Dark Hollow Puffy Eyes? (photo)

Be honest, is there any way to really fix eye bags this bad and with such dark pigmentation? Have had them since I was little.. I do have terrible sinuses, but been on a topical nasal spray which has fixed my runny nose, but the eye bags just keep getting worse and worse. I've tried all the natural remedy crap, does nothing.. but never any sort of steroidal cream or anything from the pharmacist, mainly because I doubt they could really fix this.

Congenital dark circle improvement

Apparently yo have a combination of pigmentation in the skin and also veins that are overly prominent in the fat bags or eyelid fat itself. The best treatment would be a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty to remove the excess fatty tissue and veins in the fat bags and probably a resurfacing of the skin. There are no likely creams that will correct this problem. I hope this information helps.
