What is Dark Circle Surgery?

Dark circle surgery, also known as tear trough surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye hollows. This surgery involves the removal or repositioning of fat, as well as skin rejuvenation, to restore volume and improve the overall appearance of the under-eye area. It is an ideal solution for those with persistent dark circles caused by structural issues like a hollow tear trough.

Benefits of Dark Circle Surgery:

• Permanent Results: Unlike temporary treatments, dark circle surgery provides long-lasting, often permanent solutions to reduce or eliminate dark circles.
• Restores Natural Contours: The surgery targets the root cause of dark circles, such as fat loss or excess skin, and restores natural volume, improving the shape and appearance of the under-eye area.
• Rejuvenates Your Appearance: The procedure brightens and refreshes your eyes, giving you a more youthful, energetic look.
• Minimal Downtime: While recovery time may vary, dark circle surgery generally requires only 1 to 2 weeks of rest, with most patients able to return to normal activities soon after.
• No More Concealer: Say goodbye to heavy makeup or concealers as the surgery provides a long-term solution for dark circles.

The Dark Circle Surgery Procedure

The procedure begins with a consultation where our skilled surgeons assess your under-eye area, identify the cause of your dark circles, and discuss your goals. We then determine the best surgical approach to address your concerns, which may include:

1. Fat Repositioning: In this technique, fat is moved from the area beneath the eye to fill in the hollow tear trough and reduce shadows, resulting in a smoother, more youthful under-eye contour.
2. Fat Grafting: This involves the transfer of fat from another area of your body to the under-eye region, providing volume and reducing the appearance of dark circles.
3. Lower Blepharoplasty: This surgery involves removing excess fat and skin to tighten the area under the eyes, which can also help address dark circles.
4. Laser Skin Tightening: In some cases, laser skin resurfacing is used to improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation under the eyes, enhancing the effects of fat repositioning.

Ideal Candidates for Dark Circle Surgery

Dark circle surgery is ideal for individuals who:

• Suffer from deep tear troughs or under-eye hollows that contribute to the appearance of dark circles.
• Have not seen satisfactory results with non-surgical treatments like fillers or topical treatments.
• Are in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
