I'm in my 30s and I've had "baby fat" under my eye area for as long as I can remember. I've always thought that area was swollen because of stress or lack of sleep but it's not discolored, it's just "big" even when fully rested. Eye creams never worked. I know it's a sign of youth but what bothers me most is: when I smile muscles fold differently, when I take pics the area looks bigger from certain angles/light, It also twitches on its own. Is this hypertrophy severe? Should/Can it be corrected?
