Dark circles and under-eye bags can draw negative attention to your face. As a result, it is common to see patients seeking cosmetic improvement for their dark circles or bags under the eyes.
Fortunately, lower eyelid bags and dark circles can be treated in several ways at Benavides Aesthetic Medicine to improve their appearance.
What causes dark circles and under-eye bags?
Lower eyelid bags and dark circles develop from a variety of factors. These factors can appear with age, but may also be present from youth.
From an anatomical perspective, dark circles and under-eye bags can be caused by:
· Exceso de grasa alrededor del ojo mismo, que sobresale hacia adelante y
crea protuberancias.
· Muy poca grasa debajo de la bolsa de los ojos, lo que crea un área hueca o
hundida y genera una sombra.
· Volumen óseo insuficiente de las mejillas.
· Piel suelta y arrugada
· Exceso de pigmentos o vasos sanguíneos en la piel y el tejido

The next non-surgical option is to add volume to the "valley" of the lower eyelid, specifically the tear trough and the infraorbital rim. This is done using facial fillers or fat injections to fill this area and help camouflage under-eye bags.
Facial fillers are made from a hyaluronic acid gel, which the body slowly breaks down over time. Results can last approximately one year. Treatment of under-eye bags with fillers is performed under local anesthesia, while fat injections are more commonly done using intravenous sedation.
The plastic surgery option for the lower eyelid is blepharoplasty. This procedure can remove or reposition excess fat, eliminate sagging skin, and/or tighten the eyelid muscle as needed.
