How to fix those cheek/under eye festoons (or what are they?)? (Photo)

muchbetterface
I had this puffiness on my cheekbones/under eyes for all my life (I am 36 now). My mother and maternal grandmother and grandfather - they all have them, so I have a strong suspicion I inherited them rather than they are caused by my lifestyle (which changed a lot throughout my life without significantly affecting those bags). I hate them and I want to get rid of them! Please advise... I am in Boston.
