Symptoms of Under‑Eye Bags

Under‑eye bags usually appear as mild swelling or puffiness in the skin beneath the eyes. How long this puffiness lasts depends on the underlying cause. If the cause is addressed, the swelling often improves. In some cases, under‑eye bags are hereditary, which makes them harder to treat and sometimes permanent. They may gradually worsen over time and persist as long as the root cause is not managed.
