The skin around our eyes is some of the thinnest on our bodies, and as we age, it becomes even thinner. This can cause a number of issues, including tear troughs and eye bags. Both of these problems are caused by a loss of volume in the skin around the eyes, and both can be addressed with tear trough & eye bag treatment at Orchid Super Speciality Cosmetic Center.

Tear troughs are the indentations that run from the inner corners of our eyes down to our cheeks. They are often referred to as “dark circles,” but they are not actually caused by lack of sleep. Rather, they are caused by a reduction in the volume of the skin around the eyes. As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. This causes the underlying muscles and fat to become more visible, which creates the appearance of tear troughs.

Eye bags are caused by a similar loss of volume in the skin around the eyes. However, unlike tear troughs, which are indentations, eye bags are protrusions. As the skin around our eyes becomes thinner, the underlying fatty tissue begins to bulge out, causing bags to form under our eyes. Eye bags can be made worse by genetics, dehydration, and allergies. 

Treatment for tear troughs and eye bags usually involves injectables like fillers. These fillers will help to plump up the skin around your eyes, giving you a more youthful appearance. Injectables are typically considered to be a temporary solution for tear troughs and eye bags; however, they can last for several months before needing to have retreated. If you are looking for a more permanent solution, you may want to consider fat grafting. Fat grafting is a surgical procedure in which fat is taken from another area of your body and injected into the areas around your eyes that need volume. It is important to note that over time, some of the injected fat may be reabsorbed by your body. 

If you’re concerned about tear troughs or eye bags, there are treatment options available that can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. At Orchid Super Speciality Cosmetic Center, we offer both injectable fillers and fat grafting for tear trough and eye bag treatment. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!
