The skin under the eyes have a flat and gently tense tone when we are young. Age and other factors can let the muscles and skin sag, and fat bulge. Some call this protrusion blepharochalasis and more commonly called under eye bag or baggy eyelid. It is a very common condition seen with:

• normal aging
• sun-damaged skin
• lack of sleep
• allergies
• swelling
• obesity

The eyes are surrounded by protecting fat. The facial eyelid muscles and skin hold this retro-orbital fat in place resulting in a youthful line starting from the eyelashes to the cheek. Gravity and the wear of time can make all facial tissues sag.

Under eye bags begin to appear from the gentle pressure on this lax muscle, ligament, and skin wall. In some cases there is extra fat behind the support wall creating the baggy eyelids. Sometimes there is a relaxed extra skin causing the eye bags. At other times the lid muscles are just thickened. Upper eyelid bags can be the result of drooping eyebrows.
