I got eye bag fillers a couple years ago, was told it would reabsorb, and after a while I got this noticeable bump right under the eye bags one being bigger than the other. It makes the eye bags even more noticeable, deep and irregular, so I'm looking to get the fillers removed and would like to know some experiences. I have the kind that looks deeper when gaining weight and it's annoying how tired it makes me seem.

Also, considering that I have a hard time concealing them (this girl is not good at putting makeup around the eyes), what are other procedures one can get done to get rid of eye bags? What does get better results in your opinion?

Thanks in advance.
 
Fillers don't reabsorb for years, some lasts more than 10 years. They just spread into the tissues and seem like they got reabsorbed, but they are still there. If you got bumps that means that the injector was not skilled enough for this procedure. You need to dissolve it.
If you have hollow under eye area, the best option is fillers done by very skilled injector. For some people fillers need to be injected closer to the cheekbones rather than the under eye itself.
If its just dark under eye area, then you can conceal it with creamy opaque concealer like Tarte Colored Clay CC under eye corrector or IT cosmetics. Any corrector with creamy thick texture, not liquid ones.
If its eye bags (puffy) then surgery will help.
Please, stay away from threads or any lasers, they heat up layers under the skin and turn it into fried mess that shrinks and of course seems like tightens the skin but in reality damages it.

Find out who is the best injector in your area and go see them. Get a few other opinions too. It's time consuming but worth it. You might need more of the filler dissolved or more filler added.

Also see if you have a diet trigger that makes it worse. For me if I eat a lot of red meat my eyes are puffier than usual. It's a noticeable difference. Also if I don't drink enough water.
 
If your filler is hyaluronic acid (like Juvederm) get an injection of hyaluronidase and it disappears. Then you can consider other options, but honestly I've never seen under eye filler stay put. (I'm assuming by "bags" you mean hollows, because actual bags, like pouchy eyes, should not be fixed by filler.)
