Can I Do Something About the Thin Discolored Skin Under my Eyes? (photo)

February 13, 2012
Asked By:Mr.Simon

I have really thin skin under my eyes, which makes the capillaries and muscle shine through. This gives me a severe case of raccoon eyes, because they're always quite purple. The difference in skin texture also gives me a tear through. I'm only 20 years old, and would love to do something about both color and appearance. I've thought about fat repositioning for the tear through, and even some kind of implant to treat the color of the skin. Any good ideas? I don't want any temporary fillers.
