What can I do to get rid of my sunken eyes and dark circles? (photos)

Thank you for your question and pictures! Unfortunately, it is difficult to see your picture in these photos due to the blur. Dark circles and sunken eyes can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get.

Surgery is one option to consider. In today's day and age, there are also many nonsurgical options to consider. Botox injections as well as laser treatments can also be a tremendous benefit if you are not interested in surgery. Of course, there are also many combinations.

There are many options when it comes to reducing the tired and aged look of the eyes. It really depends on your unique anatomy as well as what exactly is bothering you. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of eyelid lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations.

Thank you for your question. There are a few ways to treat this, but it depends on the cause. If it's volume loss (the most common), filler in the tear troughs can help. If it's due to prominent blood vessels under the skin, sometimes light-based treatments work best. If you have puffiness due to allergies or congestion, then that would need to be addressed. Ultimately your physician should be able to make an evaluation and determine what modality will work best for you. I hope that helps!
