Fillers first
You have nice full cheeks and lids, which is a sign of youth. Your tear trough ["ugly dark line" would be improved by adding volume [hyaluronic acid] to the lower lid.

Thanks for the photos posted. Try a filler HA first to see if the tear trough deformity is improved before considering surgery.

Treating tear trough
Given your photos and age I suspect that you could address your lower eyelid concerns with volume enhancement alone (without blepharoplasty). This can be done with soft tissue fillers such as restylane or juvederm or your own fat using fat grafting techniques. My link below shows an example of how this area can be treated without blepharoplasty.

Try using a small amount of Juviderm first before having surgery! Stay away from salt and pork.

You may be a candidate for an injectable filler treatment to improve the appearance of your lower eyelid grooves.
I read your concerns and reviewed your photos:
You appear to have lower eyelid grooves that go from the inner corners of your eyes down beneath your lower lid bags. In general, when I see deep grooves without excessive lower lid fat, I may favor a non-surgical approach.
You may benefit from consulting a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon familiar with the delicate art of injecting the lower eyelid area which may be unforgiving.
Hope this is helpful for you.
