Under eye lump - causes and treatment?

I have a small lump that appears under my eye. At times it doesn't look like it is there but when I smile it comes up. I thought it was just the bags under my eyes, but it is definately different than the other eye. Any thoughts? Any way to treat it?

A: Possibly a vein

Some people have lower eyelid veins that come and go depending on their facial expressions and are located in the lateral third of the lid.  These can be treated in many ways and I have had success with ligaton and division of them.  Usually, they sem to only appear on one side of the face.
