Do most people know that? “Eye bags” Or puffy eyes It is a condition where the tissue or fluid in the lower eyelid area becomes swollen and congested into bags. Bags under the eyes appear as bulging or swollen bags extending from the edge of the eye. Normally, the fat under the eyes is blocked by the lower eyelid muscles, making the skin under the eyes firm and smooth. However, as age increases, the eyelid muscles do not function normally, resulting in the bulging of the fat under the eyes, causing the skin under the eyes to sag and create dark circles under the eyes. Bags under the eyes can occur in people of all genders and ages, not just the elderly.

What causes bags under the eyes?
The occurrence of bags under the eyes may be caused by genetics, abnormal functioning of the internal organs of the body, or individual lifestyle behaviors, such as insufficient rest. Bags under the eyes are classified into real bags under the eyes and pseudo bags under the eyes.
Real under eye bags
True under-eye bags are mostly found in people aged 20 and above. The causes are as follows:
– heredity Because the endocrine glands are responsible for producing and secreting hormones that control the flow of fluids in the body. If the endocrine glands do not function properly, it will cause fat to accumulate under the eyes more than necessary, causing bags under the eyes.
– age It is another factor that causes bags under the eyes because the internal systems of the body are deteriorating. The steps of the formation of bags under the eyes, dark circles under the eyes and grooves under the eyes are as follows:
- Skin thinning: The area around the eyes loses subcutaneous fat. As we age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner, so when we see dark circles under our eyes, it is due to the color of the muscles.
- Collagen production decreases (Collagen degeneration): Wrinkles under the eyes are easily formed.
- Tear trough ligament laxity: The eye socket bone collapses, causing the ligaments under the eyes to lax as well. The muscles and deep fat have no place to attach, causing everything to collapse, creating a groove under the eyes.
- Tear trough ligament (Zygomaticocutaneous ligament laxity): The ligament under the eyes laxes, causing some fat to change position, accumulate and protrude, resulting in bags under the eyes.
Artificial bags under the eyes
Most cases of false eye bags are temporary and can be treated at home or with lifestyle changes. The causes of these symptoms are as follows:
- Allergy symptoms Or allergies, because people with allergies often experience irritation or itching around the eyes, causing them to rub or rub the skin in that area frequently. Every time there is friction, it causes inflammation, causing the skin under the eyes to become swollen and dark.
- disease Bags under the eyes can be a sign of medical conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease or high blood pressure. Because the body has more water than normal, the skin under the eyes is more likely to swell than normal.
- Insufficient rest This will cause the body's internal circulatory system to malfunction, causing blood to pool in the skin under the eyes, making the skin color under the eyes darker, making the bags under the eyes more visible.
