The skin around your eye area is the thinnest and most fragile skin found on the entire body. As you age, the lids under the eye may swell with fluids or fats. Muscles and ligaments responsible for holding those fats in place may become lax. Since the liver is responsible for muscle and ligament tone, puffyness that won't go away might imply that tendons and ligaments are lax.

Puffyness that is worse in the morning when you wake up suggests water retention as the cause. Excess salt intake can increase periorbital edema. Diabetics with poor kidney function may have baggy eyes.

Puffyness under the eyes may also imply oversleeping as well as sleep deprivation and adrenal exhaustion. Inflammatory and pitta aggravating substances such as alcohol, tobacco, spring allergies, and infections may cause puffyness in the eyes.

The condition is usually hereditary.

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Puffy under eyes / Bags' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.
