Sunken eyes describe a hollow or recessed appearance around the eye area. Natural anatomy and age-related volume or bone changes can make the under-eye contour look deeper.
/ Understanding the condition
Sunken eyes describe a hollow or recessed appearance around the eye area. Natural anatomy and age-related volume or bone changes can make the under-eye contour look deeper.
Many visible concerns reflect normal differences in anatomy, skin structure or the way soft tissue is distributed. Genetics often determine how pronounced a feature is and when it becomes noticeable.
Ageing, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, weight change or everyday movement can alter the skin and supporting tissue over time. These changes are rarely caused by one factor alone.
A consultation can help distinguish a cosmetic concern from a condition that may need medical assessment. The most suitable next step depends on the cause, the area involved and the change someone would like to see.
/ Possible surgical solutions
The right procedure depends on the concern itself, the surrounding anatomy and your goals. That decision is made during consultation.
01
Lower blepharoplasty treats under-eye bags and lower-lid contour by repositioning or reducing fat and, where appropriate, tightening skin or supporting the eyelid. The plan is adapted to lid tone, eye shape, fat distribution and the transition into the cheek.
02
Under-eye fat transfer uses a small amount of your own fat to restore selected volume beneath the eyes and soften the transition into the cheek. Because the eyelid area is delicate, treatment is conservative and intended for true hollowing rather than every type of dark circle or under-eye bag.
