Can Rims or Dark Circles Beneath the Eyes Be Corrected By Eyelid Surgery?
No. Most semicircular rims of depression are the result of a relative deficiency of bone along the upper cheek with secondary sagging of the cheek’s fat pockets and muscles. Since the indentation (often called a “tear trough”) is not caused by an eyelid or orbital deficit, blepharoplasty does not correct it. Injection with a commercial filler is the most common treatment.
