To treat eye bags, we first need to know what causes them. ​ Eye bags are usually caused by the prolapse of fats from the area under the eyes. As we get older, the structures supporting the fats there weaken and stretch. These structures include muscles and ligaments under the eyes. ​ Appearance of eye bags can also be a result of water retention and swelling. Certain health conditions, like severe heart or kidney disease, or medications can cause water retention, giving a puffy appearance under the eyes. Allergies can also cause swelling in the area.

Eye bags are generally treated with surgery. However, if you are not keen to go under the knife, or experience the associated downtime, Astute Medical has minimally invasive options for treating eye bags.
