What is the cause of the fat pad under my eye, and how can it be treated? (Photo)

Asked By:BraveNewMe in Fate, TX

Hello Doctors, I have been battling with this bag under my right eye since I was about 21. That's when it started becoming more prominent. I am now 30, and the fat pad seems to have gotten worse. Upon feeling it with my index finger, I do indeed feel little pieces of "fat." They are soft & "squishy" (sorry) to the touch. The left eye has very little fat. What is my best option here? I am so self-conscious about it. People ask me if I'm tired, or if I got into a fight! Please help me. Thanks.

Answer: Your best option for the eye bag is to have the fat removed and sculpted, so it will appear like it was never there
