Can Dark Circles Be Due to my Nose Being Broken Three Times?

November 17, 2011
Asked By:Virginia Queen in Blacksburg, VA

I am 55 and a natural blonde. I would like to tighten my upper eyelids but don't want to end up looking oriental (as I see so often with celebrities). Also, I have dark circles under my eyes. They tell me this is because my nose was broken three times as a child/adolescent. Is there anything that can be done with that? Then there's the lack of a chin... Main problem is the eyes. I can include a photo, but it probably won't show much since I have make-up on...
