What eye bags mean in a cosmetic context
The term refers to visible pads beneath the eye, not the anatomical lacrimal sac.
Understand the context
The anatomical lacrimal sac lies at the inner corner of the eye and forms part of the tear drainage system. Aesthetic lower eyelid correction removes neither this sac nor the tear gland. Problems with the tear ducts are investigated differently.
As tissue support changes, existing fat can become more prominent. Skin ageing and genetic predisposition also play a part. Swelling caused by fluid, allergies or other conditions can look similar and must be distinguished by how it develops over time.
