What to Do About Lower Eye Lid Bags/hypertrophy and Twitching Spells in Young Female? (photo)

In fact there is absolutely nothing wrong with the appearance of your eyes.  It is also my professional opinion that you are very attractive and you should be out there flaunting your beauty not questioning yourself on a forum such as this.  The thing you call a bag is your orbicularis oculi muscle of the lower eyelid that hold the lower eyelid margin against the eye surface.  The change in lower eyelid configuration that occurs with smiling is normal and important because it tells people that your smile is genuine.  Of course under the magnification of a bathroom mirror we get all sorts of goofy ideas in our heads.  Please don't let a cosmetic surgeon cut you or inject you for this.  Regarding the twitching, if this is bother some, it might be worth getting assessed for dry eye.  If you are doing a lot of computer work or have some degree of dry eye, the spasm may be secondary to eye drying.  A careful examination by a board certified ophthalmologist can determine if your eyes are a bit dry in which case the use of artificial tears might be helpful.

To be honest, the photos you posted are taken from a bit too far away for us to be able to properly evaluate the anatomic issues.

I agree that you have a bit of hypertrophy of the  pretarsal [just underneath the lashes] orbicularis oculi. If that is the area of "bags" you are describing, then botox will likely improve it. It has to be very low dosage, however, as too much botox can cause the eyelids to roll out away from the eye, or cause problems with tearing.

The twitching problem you describe is called Ocular Myokymia, and is thought to be related to too much caffeine intake, not enough sleep, or too much stress. If  you can modify these three areas, the twitching will likely improve spontaneously, though in some patients with persistent twitching, I have used very low botox dosage to break the cycle successfully.

 

I would recommend posting closeup photos of your eyelids without ANY smiling at all, and then with smiling so we can better evaluate.

Thanks

The pictures show beautiful eyes that cannot be improved in any way by surgery.  I think the fullness under your eyes is aesthetically pleasing and a sign of youth. Botox won't do any harm but is not likely to provide a great deal of aesthetic benefit.  The eyelid twitching (blepahrospasm) may be helped, but I would first rule out other causes such as fatigue, excess caffeine, etc.
