I've spoken to two surgeons about this so far. The first recommended transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty and the second recommended filler but I would prefer a permanent solution.

The second surgeon also mentioned risks with bleph that the fat might be visible through the thin skin, which the first surgeon didn't mention, so I'm unsure whether that is even a good idea.
