Can dark circles really be treated with surgery?

Nowadays, most of our friends are quite busy, constantly working hard for their careers and jobs. If this continues for a long time, their bodies will become very tired. Therefore, dark circles are a relatively common phenomenon, which often seriously affects the patient's image. Many people think that dark circles can be removed by surgery. So, can dark circles really be removed by surgery?

Treatment method: Surgical treatment of dark circles must be based on different treatment methods depending on the cause.

Traditionally, chemical peels or depigmenting creams are used to treat dark circles caused by congenital eyelid pigmentation, but the effects are not very obvious. However, in recent years, thanks to the development of laser medical technology, the use of Q-switch spot removal lasers, ruby ​​lasers, etc. can effectively remove these annoying dark circles. According to a report by American Dr. Rowe in 1995, two treatments can improve the condition by 50%. However, about one-third of people will experience temporary darkening of pigmentation after laser treatment. However, as long as you avoid sunlight exposure and apply sunscreen (sun protection factor greater than 15), this temporary darkening of skin pigmentation will gradually fade and the dark circles will fade four to eight weeks after laser treatment. As for the darkening of eyelid pigmentation caused by acquired skin diseases such as allergies, sign dermatitis, etc., it will generally disappear naturally within a year after the lesions are removed.

If the pseudo-pigmentation of the skin is caused by sagging eyelids due to aging, eyelid plastic surgery is required to remove excess skin, which will improve the feeling of dark circles. In addition, due to genetics, many young people have obvious eye bags in their twenties, which also causes the appearance of dark circles. In this case, it is necessary to consider removing excess fat in the lower eyelid through conjunctival incision, so that the eye bags disappear and the dark circles naturally disappear. Some people have bulging eye bags, sagging skin and obvious dark circles due to aging! A tired face requires a two-pronged approach. Lower eyelid plastic surgery to remove excess skin and fat can completely change the appearance.

The most common surgical treatment for dark circles is the external incision method. The surgical incision is usually along the lower edge of the lower eyelid eyelashes to the outer canthus groove. After the eyelids are cut and separated, the bulging fat around the eyes is removed, which can effectively remove dark circles and tighten the skin of the lower eyelid. The surgical incision is generally hidden, and the wound is difficult to detect about 1-2 months after the operation, so there is no need to worry about postoperative scars.

Through the introduction above, I believe everyone has understood how to remove dark circles, so if this phenomenon occurs in the patient’s daily life, you can try this method. Patients are advised not to overwork in their daily lives. If they are always overworked, the phenomenon of dark circles will be aggravated.
