Question

I am a 22 year old male, and have suffered from dark circles for as long as I can remember.

It seems not matter what sleep I get I always look really tired, and on a number of occasions people have asked if I have been hit.

I think it is more the pigmentation rather than them being sunken, but it could be a combination.

If possible I would like a rough idea of what to expect price wise, and also, once completed would my eyes just return back to as they are over time?

Answer

The main reason for the impression of dark circles under the eyes in someone young is under development of the upper jaw and lower parts of the orbits (eye sockets).

There are several types of treatment that can address this problem and they include both surgical and non-surgical techniques.

With the benefit of 3-D imaging and computer simulation it is possible to detail what can be achieved through these techniques, having identified your goals for change.
