How do you get rid of them??

Whats the easiest way/quickest way to get rid of bags under eyes. Must point out this aint a poncy thing, its just I have a load of photos to take part in (Best man wedding an all) and recent photos of me have nice big panda eyes making me look knackered all the time.

Things that I can't do/wont do as they don't work:

Get more sleep - nope this idea is rubbish and it don't matter if I get 4 hours or 8 hours they are still there.

Exercise and de-stress - Already train most days to de-stress from work so I don't see this as an option.

Cut down on alcohol - Don't drink during the week and even on the weekend its a minimal amount.

Smoking - Don't do it so that isn't a factor.

Eat healthy - Already do that one quite well.

Right thats my all out, any ideas on how to get rid and the least drastic the better.

Cheers for sensible ideas.

If it's all about photos, have you considered Photoshop?

But if they are paying for a photographer to come out and take the pictures, do they really want to go and alter them afterwards or is this something a photographer does now as part of the job?

Many from Indian seem to have panda eyes. Maybe it's genetic?

Price :
An exact price is impossible to give without first seeing the surgeon as all patients are different. However, a guide price is £2300-£3900.

HHHmmmmm I could think of better things to spend my money on, seems a little excessive.

Or less drastic, some girly tips include using cold teabags and cucumber slices, used as a compresss for the eyes. Details here

If you can get over your macho image, YSL make a concealer called Touche Eclat, it is used by top make-up artists to disguise that "I was up 'til 4am doing lines of coke and drinking champagne" look in photographic models. Costs about £16, available from all good department stores.

Drink more water?

Alternatively, have you considered that you might actually be a panda?

Do you like bamboo?

Are you more furry than the average human?

Is this you?

For extra loot, if he uses digital and is accomplished at PhotoShop, possibly. Mind you, whilst I've heard of red-eye removal, panda-eye removal is a new one to me

Tried that but thought, what the hell I'm bored why not try something different, I suggested get healthy and fit.

Took my mates 10 minutes before they stopped laughing, so have done it in spite and now really enjoying it, miss the smoking tho, but that will disappear in time. plus I reckon I'm saving loads that can go into my new car fund.
