27, under eye bags are accentuated when smiling. Am I a candidate for lower blepharoplasty and/or fat transfer? (Photos)

I am 27 years old. I am concerned about the appearance of my under-eye area, particularly when I smile as the muscles or ligaments beneath my cheeks become visible and my under-eye bags are excentuated. When not smiling, my undereye bags/tear trough line is still prominent. I have very little facial fat naturally and no forward cheek bone projection, which seems to be contributing to the issue. I am wondering if a lower blepharoplasty and/or fat transfer is the right option. I worry about how either of these procedures will look/move on top of my muscles when I smile. I am looking for a smoother transition between my undereye bags/tear trough and my cheek, particularly when smiling.
