Answer: Dark Circle Under Your Eyes
The most common cause of dark circles under the lower eyelids is hollowness from fat loss over the orbital rim. This hollowness causes shadowing leading to the appearance of dark circles. In my experience fillers are the best solution for this problem. Using topical numbing gel applied to the skin restylane can be delicately placed and molded into this depression instantly correcting the hollowness and greatly improving the appearance of the dark circles.
Removal of lower eyelid fat pockets during eyelid surgery can reduce the bags but does not help the dark circles which typically occur below the lower eyelid fat pockets. Certainly bruising after eyelid surgery can cause darkness under the eyes from pooled blood products but most of this should have resolved after 10 weeks. An examination can quickly determine the cause of your dark circles and the best course of action.
