Considering lower blepharoplasty for genetic eyebags. Would fillers be a better option because of my age? (Photo)

ladyofthelake4
My mom says she had eyebags even as a child. Now she is 50 and trying to get a lower blepharoplasty, since they have worsened in the last few years. I also have had eyebags as long and I can remember and I would like to get treated. I also have chronic allergies, which make them worse. Would a blepharoplasty be the best course of action for me, or would fillers be a good choice for my age and type of eyebags? I'd rather get a lower bleph, because that will be permanent. But again, my age is a factor.
