Eye bag only under ONE eye when I smile? Why and what can be done? (photos)

Question

I am 33. When I smile only I have saggy loose skin under my only *one* eye. It's baggy looking when I wake up, can improve throughout day but doesn't completely go away. Not present when face relaxed. Also, mouth has gotten crooked over last couple years. It slants to my right side, like the left side isn't tight. relation between mouth slacker on left side and skin under eye looser on left side?? Cause? non-surgical things can be done first to fix this? Thanks

I WOULD TRY FILLERS BEFORE GOING IN AND DOING SURGERY , THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT TRANSFER AND FILLERS ARE FILLER ARE LESS INVASIVE AND CAN LAST 6-9 MONTHS SOMETIMES UP TO A YEAR DEPENDING ON WHICH ONES. FAT TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY SURGICALLY DONE WITH LIPO AND TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER AREA OF THE BODY. A FAT TRANSFER CAN ALSO BE DONE THROUGH A LOCAL AFTER SURGERY FOR A REPEAT FAT INJECTION. FAT INJECTIONS OR TRANSFERS ARE USUALLY MORE PERMANENT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT IN A CONSULTATION AND SEE WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.
