Cannabidiol (CBD) oil and other CBD products have become increasingly popular with consumers looking for an alternative treatment for a range of ailments, conditions, and diseases. Cannabis plants contain a group of substances called cannabinoids. Although there are more than 100 cannabinoids, the two most studied cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD. THC is a psychoactive compound that is responsible for most of the psychological effects and the high that people often associate with marijuana. CBD is not psychoactive in the same way. While THC does have psychoactive effects, it does not lead to high or euphoric feelings, and other such effects associated with recreational cannabis smoking. The FDA has approved one CBD product for use in two rare and severe forms of epilepsy. They have not currently approved any other CBD products for any purpose. At this time, it is illegal to market CBD by labeling it as a dietary supplement or adding it to food. Studies examining CBD to treat various conditions and diseases are still in the early stages, and more research is required to draw any conclusions. Some CBD products are of unknown quality and marketed with unproven medical claims. There is limited information about the risks and side effects of CBD.

Eye bag surgery lifts the lower eyelid and removes excess tissue from the under- eye area. It is a cosmetic procedure known as lower blepharoplasty. When a surgeon performs a lower blepharoplasty procedure, their goal is to treat the excess under-eye tissue, which causes eye bags. For people with eye bags that are less prominent and have no excess fat in the under-eye area, a cosmetic surgeon may suggest the skin pinch technique. The skin pinch technique does not remove fat from the under-eye area. The surgeon will simply pinch and remove the excess skin. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons figures for 2018 show the average cost of a blepharoplasty procedure to be around $3,163. As with all surgical procedures, lower blepharoplasty does come with risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, and, in rare cases, blindness. If a person does not want surgery, there are alternative treatment options available.
