Aging progresses gradually, so it can be difficult to notice at first. Changes that escape attention in the daily mirror eventually become more distinct. In particular, under-eye fat may become more prominent after the thirties, bulging above a hollow groove and making dark circles look darker.

Foundation and eye concealer cannot fundamentally address this, and thick makeup can irritate the delicate skin. At the time of publication, mask wearing also drew greater attention to the eyes, adding to these concerns.

Some people therefore seek medical treatment, including under-eye fat surgery. This means removing protruding fat or repositioning it into the hollow under-eye groove.

Repositioning fat into the hollow, rather than simply removing a bulge, is an important part of the procedure. Reinforcing the loosened septal support, one of the factors in fat protrusion, is also important in helping prevent recurrence.

Before making a careful decision, patients should ask how postoperative care is provided. A specialist consultation and a detailed assessment of the individual’s condition are important in deciding which treatment to use.
