Is a transconjunctival blepharoplasty right for my genetic under eye bags? (photos)

I'm only 28, but all my life I have hated my hereditary undereye bags - thanks Dad! I think I am ready to take action, but I am extremely nervous. One of the doctors I consulted with spoke against simply "repositioning" the fat because "it doesn't tend to stay where you put it"... not sure of the truth of this. My main concern is that he will not be conservative enough and too much fat will be removed, eventually giving me a hollow look... either soon after the surgery or as I age.
