Am I candidate for under eye fat reposition? The reason of my dark circles.
“Am I good candidate for under eye reposition? Or maybe I can undergo some laser treatment to get rid of puffy eye bags” . Each of those who has under eye dark circles asks those questions.
Dark circles can be a sign of tiredness and a lack of sleep in early stage and significant young age. However, major reason can be divided for 3 parts: anatomical structure, aging and pigmentation / vascular lesions.
Anatomical structure
The genuine eye-bag pertains to an authentic protrusion of the infra-orbital fat – the fat beneath the eye exerts pressure against a protective barrier intended to prevent its protrusion. As the supporting tissues and muscles of the eyelids weaken, the skin may droop, causing the displacement of the typically present eye fat to the lower eye region. Additionally, fluid accumulation in the lower eye area can result in a swollen or puffy appearance.
Aging
As you age, the tissues and muscles that support your eyelids weaken, leading to mild swelling or puffiness under the eyes known as bags. This occurs when fat that normally supports the eyes relocates to the lower eyelids, causing them to appear puffy. Additionally, the skin may sag, and fluid can accumulate in the space below the eyes, resulting in a swollen or puffy appearance.
Pigmentation / Vascular lesions
Brown or black pigmented dark circles, also known as idiopathic hyperchromia of the orbital ring, occur due to excessive melanin production in the eyelid skin, either congenitally or acquired. Blue, pink, or purple vascular dark circles, on the other hand, result from weak microcirculation around the eye area, leading to thinning and laxity of the skin. These dark circles are more noticeable in individuals with fair and delicate skin.
The color of dark circles under the eyes can vary from purple or blue to dark brown or black, depending on skin tone and underlying cause. While these circles are usually not a cause for concern, individuals may want to reduce their visibility for cosmetic purposes. In certain instances, the presence of dark circles may indicate the need for lifestyle changes, such as improving sleep patterns or diet.
However, the primary method of treatment is determined by the main cause of the dark circles: vascular lesions can be addressed with laser treatment like Vbeam, aging-related concerns may require a surgical approach such as fat repositioning or blepharoplasty to address the anatomical structure.
What is under eye fat reposition and how it is different form blepharoplasty ?
Under eye fat reposition
As we get older, the structure of the membrane that surrounds the fat beneath the eyes, as well as the elasticity of the muscles around the eyes, diminish. This leads to a decrease in the supporting force, resulting in puffy eyes. Excessive accumulation and protrusion of fat under the eyes create a tired and aged appearance. The thin skin under the eyes is prone to wrinkles and quick aging, as well as the protrusion of fat. This issue can be addressed using a minimally invasive surgical technique called under eye fat repositioning.
The procedure involves using a laser to make an incision through the inner surface of the eyelid (transconjuctival method), allowing for the removal of excess fat. The removed fat is then redistributed evenly in the sunken area, leaving no visible scars on the outside. This treatment transform your look with a new and improved bright and lively impression. It is suitable for individuals of all ages and addresses both the anatomical structure and the aging-related causes of eye bags. However, it is important to note that this approach does not address wrinkles in the lower part of the eyes.
Lower blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty i surgical method addresses both remove excess skin in your lower eyelid through this incision and fat capsule reposition. The incision is go under lower eye lash line to correct lower eyelid issues and redistribute or remove excess fat.
