What are these folds and creases around my lower eyelid? (Photo)

May 17, 2016
Asked By:Rahila Khan in Big Indian, NY

I always had those small folds/fat bags under my lower eyelids. When I smile I get a number of creases which rather makes my eyes smaller and makes me look awkward. It has been bothering me from a few weeks. I dont get it... Is it ptosis or a Korean Aegyo-sal? Or may be I need some good sleep?
