I'm a 23 year old female and I have blue dark circles under my eyes no matter how much sleep I get. I constantly look tired and it's taking a toll on my self-esteem. I've tried pretty much all types of eye creams which have had no effect whatsoever on my dark circles... At this point I'd like to know which options would be suitable for me ? Is carboxytherapy a good intervention for my type of dark circles ? Fillers? Thank you in advance

Answer: Tear trough
This looks like it is mostly due to shadowing related to a visible tear trough. Your options would then be an injectable filler or direct placement of a thin sheet of fat as a graft to fill the trough. The first option would require repeat injections the second should not.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship in order to know if this assessment is valid.

Answer: Young woman with dark circle of the lower eyelids
You may be a candidate for the use of a soft tissue filler. This will help to blend the junction between the lower eyelid skin and the upper cheek. You may also want to try a product like SkinMedica dermal repair of eyes that has Boron in it to reflect the light to help prevent shadowing.
