Dark circles and under-eye bags are common concerns that can make you look tired, aged, or stressed. Thankfully, advancements in cosmetic procedures offer multiple options for addressing these issues, including dermal fillers, lower blepharoplasty, and fat grafting. Each treatment targets specific causes of under-eye concerns, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance.
Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, specializes in these transformative procedures, offering personalized solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Causes of Dark Circles and Under-Eye Bags
Dark circles and under-eye bags can result from:
Volume Loss: Aging or genetics can cause hollowing in the tear trough area, casting shadows.
Fat Pockets: Excess or displaced fat under the eyes can create puffiness.
Skin Thinning: Reduced collagen and elasticity can make blood vessels more visible.
Pigmentation: Hyperpigmentation around the eyes can contribute to dark circles.
Understanding the underlying cause is essential to choosing the right treatment.
