The Cause: Genetics
The Cause: Genetics Everyone has a fat pad under each eye, credit basic human anatomy. They serve an important purpose, acting as a cushion to protect this delicate area from injury. But exactly how prominent these pads are boils down to genetics (AKA it's out of your control, sorry). If you have constant bags under your eyes that never seem to go away, these fat pockets are likely to blame. It's also worth noting that they can become more apparent with age, too. The older we get, the thinner our skin becomes and the skin around the eye is already super thin to begin with. The thinner the overlying skin, the more noticeable the bulging fat pads are.
