If dark circles appear under the eyes , according to the observations of cosmetologists, the formation of full-fledged eyelid hernias is not far off. As for hernial bags under the eyes (as a rule, they are manifested by accompanying wen on the skin and yellow or brown circles under the eyes, cholesterol deposits on the eyelids), then folk remedies for bags under the eyes are powerless in this case. The only truly effective recipe for bags under the eyes in the case of a hernia is blepharoplasty .
Causes of bags under the eyes and hernias of the eyelids
What causes bags under the eyes? For safety reasons, the eyeballs of every person are “covered” with adipose tissue - it is located in the form of tiny lumps under the eyes. Normally, they are practically invisible, but under certain circumstances they can turn into severe, unsightly eye hernias.
There can be many reasons for the appearance of hernias under the eyes. Unhealthy lifestyle: stress and overwork, alcohol and smoking, excessive salt intake, lack of sleep, excess ultraviolet radiation and, of course, age: over time, the tone of the circular muscles of the face decreases, and the skin of the eyelids, which is very thin, becomes less elastic and begins to sag. All these factors lead to the fact that subcutaneous fat irreversibly “floats”, and at the stage of formed hernias of the upper or lower eyelid, the only effective option is surgical plastic surgery of bags under the eyes.
Hernial bags under the eyes can be caused by using low-quality cosmetics or simply cosmetics not intended for the skin around the eyes. In this case, you shouldn’t wonder why there are bags under the eyes and where they came from with the “correct” daily care. Caring for the skin around the eyes , which is very delicate and thin, requires specialized products. Therefore, if bruises and bags under the eyes appear, as well as yellow or brown circles around the eyes, you must first contact a specialist who will find the real cause of the pathology and suggest ways to eliminate it.
Another answer to the question of why bags under the eyes appeared is the congenital anatomical features of the eye structure. This is the most common cause of hernias under the eyes. However, in this case, circles and bags under the eyes usually appear quite early - already by the age of 20-25.
The relationship between various types of human constitution and the shape of his eyelids is also known. For example, puffiness and bags under the eyes are more likely to form in people with a heavy build, but drooping heavy upper eyelids and bags over the eyes - on the contrary, in thin people.
The reason why bags under the eyes grow may also be diseases of the internal organs, and bags under the eyes in the morning indicate insufficient outflow of venous blood and lymph microcirculation during sleep, when the eyelids are motionless. Sometimes the eyes may swell when drinking too much at night or having too much salt in the diet.
For quite a long time, people who have obvious signs of a lower eyelid hernia mistake them for swelling caused by excess fluid in the body. But as a rule, it is quite easy to identify what exactly is expressed in a particular person - swelling under the eyes or a hernia. By the middle of the day, swelling most often goes away on its own; in extreme cases, removing such swelling and bags under the eyes with the help of cosmetic facial massage , folk remedies and professional cosmetics is not difficult. If the hernia is visible, the only answer to the question of how to remove bags under the eyes is laser blepharoplasty.
Dark circles under the eyes: causes
In response to the question of why blue or black circles appear under the eyes, experts cite the following reasons:
- disorders of fluid metabolism in the body;
- long work at the computer;
- stressful effects;
- chronic fatigue;
- hereditary predisposition;
- disorders of the cardiovascular system;
- kidney diseases;
- inflammatory processes;
- endocrine disorders.
Circles under the eyes can also be so-called bags, which are formed due to an increase in the amount of periorbital tissue, which affects the tension of the orbital septum. Because of this, adipose tissue becomes visible. Such bags can appear in both women and men who are genetically predisposed to this defect, as a result of an allergic reaction, a number of diseases, and also after consuming a significant amount of alcohol or salty foods. In addition, this problem may appear as a sign of aging.

Treatment
If internal diseases are excluded, then we are talking about a cosmetic defect, which is a consequence of an unhealthy lifestyle and genetic predisposition. The most popular and effective treatments for dark circles under the eyes are as follows.
- Mesotherapy Preference is given to meso-cocktails containing ascorbic, phytic and kojic acids, and arbutin. A course of 6-10 procedures with an interval of 1 week.
- Bioreparation with vitamin C The combination of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C effectively moisturizes and brightens the skin around the eyes. A course of 2-4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks.
- Plasmolifting By restoring metabolic processes, normalizing tissue respiration, and improving microcirculation, local skin immunity is activated. A course of 4-6 procedures with an interval of 1 week.
- Biorevitalization The skin under the eyes reacts especially acutely to dehydration and often looks unaesthetic due to dryness, creating the effect of “tired eyes”. A course of 2-4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks.
- Contour plastic With closely spaced, “translucent” vessels, filler creates an additional layer between the skin and the underlying vessels, thereby making them less noticeable. Additionally, the effect of leveling the nasolacrimal groove is achieved.
- Laser peeling The essence of laser resurfacing is to remove the upper layers of the skin, its renewal and rejuvenation. A course of 2-5 procedures with an interval of 1 month.
How to eliminate bags under the eyes
The question of how to deal with bags under your eyes should be answered by a specialist.
If, during a medical consultation, the doctor comes to the conclusion that you really have signs of a lower eyelid hernia, then treatment of bags under the eyes is possible, we repeat, only surgically. And in some cases, removing bags under the eyes is impossible without another plastic surgery: for example, tightening the skin of the forehead or eyebrows, if the shape of the eyelids is changed due to their drooping. And of course, if during a medical examination it becomes clear that the cause of the bags under the eyes lies in a disease, then, first of all, it is necessary to eliminate the underlying disease, and this is what will quickly reduce the bags under the eyes.
The operation, as the most effective remedy for bags under the eyes, is incredibly popular nowadays because of its speed and safety. Eliminating bags under the eyes attracts not only women, but also men. The unsurpassed advantage of blepharoplasty is that in one procedure it is possible to remove not only hernias, but also wrinkles around the eyes (the so-called “ crow’s feet ”), change the shape of the eyes , tighten the eyelids, perform laser shaving, correct the shape of the eyes , etc.
There are two main surgical methods to cure bags under the eyes:
1. Traditional suture surgery as a remedy for bags and circles under the eyes is performed through an incision along the edge of the lower eyelid. After three days, the doctor removes the stitches, and after a month the scar is no longer visible. Typically, this method of removing hernias under the eyes is used in patients who are not very young, when the skin has lost its elasticity with age.
2. If a hernia of the upper or lower eyelid is hereditary and manifests itself at an early age, then the method of seamless transconjunctival blepharoplasty is used, in which the removal of eye hernias is carried out through the conjunctiva. This is a way to quickly remove bags under the eyes: as a rule, after one or two weeks there are no longer any traces of medical intervention.
In both cases, plastic surgery of bags under the eyes and removal of a lower eyelid hernia is an operation that is masterfully performed by Platinental plastic surgeons to the highest quality standards under local anesthesia using modern laser technologies, lasts about 20 minutes and almost never produces complications. Surgery for bags on the eyelids is successfully combined with laser resurfacing of the eye skin, smoothing it, rejuvenating it and making it much more elastic.
Our clinic also provides a full arsenal of procedures for quick rehabilitation after blapharoplasty, including eye creams from the world's leading manufacturers for supportive care.
Swelling and bags under the eyes should not make your look tired and prevent you from enjoying youth, beauty, and well-deserved success.
Cosmetology: how to remove circles under the eyes
In cosmetology, there are several effective ways to eliminate dark circles under the eyes. However, we should not forget that without influencing the cause of their appearance, it will be difficult to achieve a lasting result. That is why cosmetologists recommend that their clients undergo additional examination by a doctor, as well as establish a work and rest schedule, and give up bad habits.
Filler injections
Contour plastic with fillers based on hyaluronic acid allows you to saturate the skin with moisture, strengthen it and stimulate collagen synthesis. Most often, for this problem, Juvederm or Surgiderm are used, the viscosity level of which is determined by a cosmetologist.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a very effective remedy against circles under the eyes. This course procedure is an injection of individually selected cocktails, which, as a rule, contain vitamins, hyaluronic acid and other beneficial (and absolutely safe for the body) substances. Among Novoklinik cosmetologists and their patients, the drug Dermaheal produced in South Korea, consisting of a unique complex of peptides, is popular.
Hyaluronic acid injections
Biorevitalization with preparations containing hyaluronic acid is also a very popular method of combating circles under the eyes. Among its advantages is the almost complete absence of side effects and allergic reactions.
As a rule, to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to carry out 2-3 procedures, the intervals between which will be determined by the cosmetologist. As a result, you can forget about the problem for at least six months. Experts recommend the Italian-made IAL System, which contains a whole range of unique ingredients to restore and strengthen the skin.
What causes such a cosmetic defect?
The skin around the eyes is very thin, sensitive and delicate. The collagen fibers in it are arranged in a mesh pattern, and this contributes to its increased extensibility. Due to facial activity, this area of the face is constantly in motion and is prone to swelling. Immediately under the skin there are blood vessels that are translucent due to the small thickness of the skin and the accumulation of blood in them with an insufficient amount of oxygen.
As a result, dark circles appear under the eyes. This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the eyes are located in the area of the orbital sockets and the manifestation of shadows intensifies.

With age, when the body's metabolism slows down, the problem of dark circles becomes even worse. Blood can stagnate in the vessels, which can lead to a lack of oxygen. In addition, the skin loses collagen and elastin and becomes even thinner and more stretchy.
Main causes
- Stress. General depression, chronic depression, attacks of causeless anxiety do not have the best effect on appearance.
- Physiology. In particular, heredity and age-related changes.
- Poor nutrition. The lack of the required amount of nutrients and minerals, an excess of fatty and fried foods are one of the main reasons for the formation of dark circles and many other skin problems.
- Schedule. Lack of proper sleep and negative factors during sleep (noise, bright light, lack of fresh air, etc.) can have an extremely negative impact on your overall appearance. Try to sleep at least 8 hours a day, provide access to fresh air.
- Bad habits. Alcohol and tobacco smoke contain substances that cause intoxication (poisoning) in the body. And your body will “tell” about this with the help of dark circles under the eyes and other skin manifestations.
- use of low-quality/incorrect cosmetics. The skin on the face is extremely sensitive and immediately reacts to irritants; if you cannot choose care products on your own, contact a specialist.
