Help! The puffiness under my eyes is alarming ...

cucumbers sliced, put one in each eye

Have you thought of Botox? It's not nearly as expensive as facial surgery and is very effective.

You can use a cold, eye mask for under-eye puffiness.

Dot a little old fashion hemmoriod cream under your eyes.  It

actually works for a temporary fix.  For a permanent fix, only

surgery will work....sorry!  The cold eye mask that was previously suggested will help...then before you apply your

makeup, use the cream.  If this is really a bid problem that

causes you distress, I would advise the surgery.  It's nothing

to be afraid of...many doctors have a free consultation and it

might help you to decide just how much of a problem it is,

by visiting one.  I live in a large city and many cosmetic

surgeons have special mini-seminars where they talk about

their specialities and actually some give out "goodie bags" and

one even had a lovely sit down dinner!  Check with different

ones and see if any offer seminars for prospective clients.

Good luck!
