"My under-eye area is sunken and dark circles are prominent. Do I need under-eye fat repositioning?"

If you often hear that you look tired due to sunken under-eyes and dark circles, you might wonder why these issues occur. These problems can happen to anyone, and the causes and solutions vary. Let's explore this in more detail.

Types of Under-eye Issues

Sunken under-eyes and dark circles can arise from various causes. Here, we explain some of the common causes.

Fat Type

This occurs when the fat under the eyes is excessively developed and protrudes. This can make dark circles appear more pronounced and give a tired impression.

Sunken Type

This type appears when the tissue under the eyes degenerates or lacks fat, making the area look sunken. This can create shadows, making dark circles more noticeable.

Complex Type

This involves both protruding fat and sunken areas under the eyes. It is a complex issue that may require consideration of multiple treatments.

Solution Comparison by Type

There are suitable solutions for each type. However, all treatments can vary depending on the individual's condition.

Fat Type Solution

Under-eye fat repositioning can effectively adjust excessive fat and reconstruct volume. Recovery time varies by individual, and there may be bruising or swelling after the procedure.

Sunken Type Solution

Volume supplementation through fillers can be considered for sunken areas. However, fillers have a limited duration, and effects may vary by individual.

Complex Type Solution

It may be necessary to perform both fat removal and filler supplementation. A comprehensive approach is required, and thorough consultation is essential.

Self-diagnosis Checklist

• The under-eye area appears protruded and dark circles seem severe.
• The under-eye area looks sunken, and you often hear that you look tired.
• Both of the above apply, and the condition persists.
