I got sudden bags/puffiness under the eyes about 2 weeks ago, never had it before. I am 32 years old, get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, am not stressed, and my diet hasn't changed. I have tried cucumbers, cold eye mask/compression, and eye rollers and creams. Nothing works. I am going to my doctor next week to check for allergies. But other than that, do you guys have any other ideas? Any non-surgical ways to fix this cosmetically? How much would that cost and how long is the recovery?
