Under Eye Bags and Bruises

Dark circles under the eyes and bags under the eyes are common aesthetic problems in men and women. These two conditions, which are often seen together, can cause a tired and aged appearance on your face and negatively affect your self-confidence.

What are the Causes of Dark Circles Under the Eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes are closely related to genetic factors, aging and dark skin color. In addition, insufficient sleep and fatigue can also cause bruises to become more prominent.

When you don’t get enough sleep, fluid builds up under the eyes and can cause a puffy appearance. This puffiness appears as dark circles due to shadowing on the lower eyelid.

With age, the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and pigmentation (hyperpigmentation) becomes more pronounced.

Why Do Under Eye Bags Form?

The most common cause of bags under the eyes is aging. As we age, the skin around the eyes loses collagen and elasticity, becoming loose and sagging. The orbital septum, the thin membrane that supports the fatty tissue under the eyes, weakens over time and fat bags become prominent. In addition, fluid retention, thyroid diseases and smoking can also trigger the formation of under-eye bags.

In order to effectively treat under-eye bags and bruises, the cause of this condition must first be determined correctly. Dr. Fatih Dağdelen applies personalized treatment plans according to the patient’s condition in the removal of under-eye bags and bruises. In this way, it is possible to achieve a younger, energetic and vibrant appearance.
