Consider Blepharoplasty to Get Rid of Eye Bags Take a look at Mom and Dad. If they have puffy eyes, chances are you've inherited the condition. Unfortunately topical creams won't do much to get rid of bags under your eyes, but you do have a few choices for a long-term fix.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes extra fatty tissue and excessive skin from upper and lower eyelids and tightens skin and muscles to reduce puffiness and wrinkles. It costs around $3,000, depending on your location.

Another option is a carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser treatment to resurface the skin, which strengthens and thickens skin so the fat pad is less prevalent. Likewise, for hereditary pigmentation, such as under-eye circles, ask your dermatologist about CO₂ laser resurfacing, which has been shown to lighten skin.
