But don't run for the StairMaster yet. It has nothing to do with how much fat is on your body. Each lower lid normally has pockets of fat. Bags develop when the tissue holding them weakens, resulting in sagging fat pockets. This can happen with old age or early in life if eye bags run in your family.
Surgery is the only way to lose the bags.
An incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid and the three fat pads in the eyelid are removed or sculpted to create a normal appearance. N.Y. That's not even taking into account products from catalog and mail-order businesses or what's on drugstore shelves. Notice the product labels never say they will take away lines forever. These companies are basically selling hope in a jar, but many of these products also make us feel good. Sometimes that's the most important thing.
