Feeling the need to conceal or hide imperfections
Common Causes of Dark Eye Circles
-
Ageing skin naturally loses collagen and becomes even thinner, making blood vessels more visible and leading to the appearance of dark circles.
-
Poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep results in blood vessel dilation, leading to a darker appearance under the eyes. Lack of sleep makes the skin appear paler, increasing the contrast with underlying blood vessels.
-
Prolonged exposure to UV rays increases melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin colour. This leads to darker skin and sun spots.
-
Lack of essential nutrients, especially iron, vitamin K, and vitamin B12, leads to pigmentation issues and contributes to the development of dark eye circles.
Do Dark Circles Go Away?
Dark circles may naturally fade over time, especially when lifestyle factors are optimised. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and proper skin care reduce the appearance of dark circles. However, complete elimination may not be achievable through natural means alone, particularly if underlying genetic or structural factors are at play.
At Nuffield Plastic Surgery, we specialise in surgical and minimally invasive procedures designed to address dark circles effectively and provide immediate results.
-
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) - Surgical removal or repositioning of excess skin and fat around the eyes can significantly reduce the appearance of dark circles, particularly when caused by age-related changes.
-
Dermal Fillers - Minimally invasive injectable fillers add volume to hollowed areas, reducing the appearance of shadows and creating a more refreshed look.
What are Different Surgical Approaches for Dark Circle Surgery?
-
Blepharoplasty targets excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyes. Upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination can be customised to address specific concerns, including dark circles caused by skin laxity or fat protrusion.
-
Fat Repositioning involves redistributing or repositioning fat to create a smoother contour and reduce the appearance of shadows. This targets hollowed eyes contributing to dark circles.
-
Canthopexy focuses on tightening the eye's outer corner (canthus), addressing issues like sagging or downward displacement that may contribute to the appearance of dark circles.
