I sympathize. I've always had bags under my eyes - face structure, underlying muscle composition, what, I don't know. But it's annoying and I'm very self-conscious about it. That said, I just saw an article about some author who died as a result of complications from plastic surgery. It's purely anecdotal evidence, I know, and there are millions of surgeries that don't go bad, but it still seems like an awful and disproportionate risk (death) for a relatively minor gain in what is, let's face it, a losing battle against the inevitable effects of getting older. I'd rather just learn to live with it.
