Can infraorbital rim implants help droopy eyelids/dark circles? (Photo)

Unless combined with other eyelid procedures, infraorbital rim implants will not elevate the lower eyelids. They do a good job of augmenting undereye hollows which may help some with the dark circles.

Hi and thanks for your question.  Infraorbital rim implants can do a lot for your facial aesthetics.  To answer your questions:  1)  rim implants can help support the lower lid and help scleral show, but only a little bit.  It all depends on the amount of lid laxity you have and if you want to address that, you should get a procedure that will directly address it, something like a spacer graft or a lid tightening procedure, depending on your case.  2)  rim implants can help with dark circles depending on what you are starting with.  Dark circles can be caused by a the contour and shadowing of your lid/cheek junction and/or really thin skin and being able to see the dark/purple muscle through the skin.  Rim implants may help with the shadowing but won't help with the thin skin.  3) rim implants can help with the buggy eye look because it helps the globe/rim relationship and makes it more aesthetically appealing.  By bringing the rim forward, it makes the globe (eyeball) look more set back.  Hope this helps!
