Asked By:blhm1819 in Laguna Niguel, CA

I am 22 years old and I have always had dark circles/bags under my eyes. I always assumed they were from lack of sleep since I was always in school but now I work regular hours and get regular sleep and they still persist. What bothers me even more is that they are asymmetrical. My actual eyes and eyebrows are asymmetrical as well, but the bags are what bother me most. Is there anything I can do at home to fix this? What would be my best nonsurgical and surgical options?
