I am 37 and have an eye bag on the left side of my face. I suspect this occurred because I tended to sleep on my left side in the past. I have since been sleeping on my back exclusively but the bag has not improved. I did a consult for a filler but was told to wait and have surgery instead. I also have a slight protrusion happening on my right side too. I'd rather spend the money to do it right with long lasting results. I'm thinking lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer. What are my options?
