I would suggest a selective microphlebectomy of the lower eyelids to help remove the isolated blue veins on the lower eyelids.

Under eye v

Loss of volume under the eyes does lead to more prominent appearing veins in that area. Also genetic, sun exposure and aging all play a role. There are treatments available for under eye veins.
