Blepharoplasty options - Are there any other options to remove my eye bags which won't involve underskin sutures? (Photo)

Hi there I recently saw a surgeon regarding a lower blepharoplasty. He said I would be a good candidate but mentioned the procedure would involve dissolvable sutures along the orbital bone (just under the eye socket). I have anxiety and I hate the idea of a foreign object being left under my skin. I know it sounds ridiculous but it worries me. He said the sutures could take up 6 months for the suture knots to fully dissolve. He also said I could opt out of having the sutures along the lower eye socket but it means that area will look 'flat' and not as natural. Are there any other options to remove my eye bags which won't involve underskin sutures in that area? Thank you
