Dark circles, sagging and puffiness under the eyes
The most common cause of dark circles and sagging under the eyes is age-related muscle weakness around the eyes. This weakening prevents the muscles from adequately supporting the eyeball, causing the fat around the eyes to be pushed forward. This results in bulges or sagging under the eyes. The shadow cast by this bulging fat is what creates the dark circles. Dark circles and sagging make the eye area appear dark, giving an impression of tiredness or aging. There are also other types of dark circles around the eyes with different causes. We will propose the appropriate treatment method based on the cause, such as fat removal procedures (methods to remove fat), or injections of hyaluronic acid or your own fat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dark Circles, Sagging, and Puffiness Under the Eyes
Q&ACan I fix sagging under my eyes on my own?
Temporary puffiness caused by swelling or other factors may become less noticeable by making adjustments to your lifestyle. On the other hand, protruding orbital fat and excess skin cannot be removed with creams or massage. Depending on the cause and condition, we may consider procedures such as transconjunctival fat removal or lower eyelid lift surgery.
What causes sagging under the eyes?
The main causes are protruding orbital fat and sagging skin. In some cases, sagging may be more noticeable due to a combination of multiple factors.
What are some ways to reduce sagging skin under the eyes?
If sagging skin is noticeable, lower eyelid lift surgery may be an option. If there is also bulging fat, the Hamra procedure—which is performed through an incision in the skin—may be considered.
Please tell me the causes of puffiness under the eyes and how to treat it.
Puffiness under the eyes is caused by factors such as the protrusion of orbital fat. Depending on the condition, we may consider transconjunctival fat removal or the "reverse Hamra" technique, which involves repositioning the fat to smooth out unevenness.
If I have puffiness under only one eye, can I still consult about dark circles?
If you’ve been concerned about asymmetry between your eyes, you can discuss this during your consultation for dark circles. However, if one side suddenly becomes swollen, or if you experience pain or redness, please visit an ophthalmologist first to determine the cause.
How should I choose the best dark circle treatment for me?
We select the appropriate treatment by evaluating not only fat deposits but also hollows, thin skin, and sagging. During the consultation, we will recommend the method best suited to the condition of your eyes, including surgical procedures, injectable treatments, or a combination of both.
I'm worried about the downtime associated with under-eye bag removal. Are there any alternatives to surgery?
If you are concerned about hollows or a lack of firmness in the skin, injectable treatments may be an option. However, since swelling and bruising can occur even with injectable treatments, we will consider the appropriate method based on the condition of the eye area.
If I have fat removed to treat dark circles, won't the area under my eyes become sunken?
Depending on the amount of fat removed or the depth of the original hollows, the hollows may be noticeable after surgery. During the consultation, we will consider various options, including the "Ura-Hamura" method, which involves repositioning fat to smooth out unevenness under the eyes.
