  It maybe. Thyroid conditions can affect one's appearance. Thyroid disorder can change the skin, hair muscle and bone. So, for some people with thyroid disease, they may get eye bags under the eyes. It give you a tired appearance. And till now, i didn't find any medical necessity for surgical treatment for eye bags because of thyroid disorder. Personally, you'd better try anyway you could to treat thyroid first. As you recover from thyroid problem, other eye problems such as eye bags will go away itself.
