Right around my 19th birthday, and strangely coinciding with the onset of my insomnia, I noticed what appeared to be the start of eye bags. I've been sleeping fine for over 4 months now, but they haven't gone away. My mom has something similar so I guess it's genetic, but 19 just feels so young to have eye bags. When I smile, I no longer have distinguishable lower eyelids; everything kind of just bunches up. It's really upsetting, and I feel like I look tired all the time. What are my options?
