Should Rhinoplasty or Dark Circles Come First?

I am 19 years old. Male. I have sever dark circles. They are from the cause of always on the computer and tv. It is bad to the fact that I have white sort of scaly white dots under my eyes. A lot ppl say these are milia.... but I doubt it. I don't know if I will ever get my eyes treated or if there is a permanent solution. My question is this: If you already have bad dark circles... is it ok to have rhinoplasty? Will it become worse? Should I go to LA and use 'Cool Laser" on my eyes first?

Rhinoplasty and dark circles can be done same time.

Rhinoplasty and treatment of your dark circles can be done at the same time. The bruising from rhinoplasty is almost always temporary.

It sounds to me that your main concern is your nose, and you are asking if you can have a rhinoplasty despite the dark circles, and the answer is yes. Having a rhinoplasty should not have any permanent sequella for the circles. You will get bruising under your eyes, but this will be temporary. During that time, your circles will look worse. By seeing a Plastic Surgeon during consultation, you can have both your nose and lower eyes evaluated and get an expert opinion... more

There are many causes of dark circles and each cause has to be evaluated and treated differently. Somethings can be improved and some cant.
