Treatment for under eye bags caused by muscle hypertrophy and excess skin? (Photo)

OhYeahSI
I'm a 28 year old woman and have always had these bags and excess skin under my eyes for as long as I can remember. It's kind of a genetic thing as some of my siblings have it too. I really hate it and want to get it fixed. I thought that it was just excess skin below my eyes, but I saw one plastic surgeon who said it was caused from muscle hypertrophy. I am looking for opinions on what exactly it is and how I can get it fixed. Please help. (I posted 4 pictures with 2 smiling and 2 regular.)
