There is something people who visit our consultation room because of under-eye wrinkles

commonly say:

“It actually looks more noticeable when I cover it with concealer.”

Even if they apply a thick layer of foundation,

even if they carefully blend in concealer, there comes a point when

makeup starts making the wrinkles look more defined.

If you have reached this stage, it may be

a sign that the structures beneath the skin itself,

rather than just the skin’s surface, have begun to change.

Today, we will honestly explain the real reasons why under-eye wrinkles deepen in middle age

and what options may be available depending on your condition.

Why do under-eye wrinkles suddenly deepen in middle age?

How to Get Rid of Under-Eye Wrinkles in Middle Age

Even when I used to get enough sleep, I was fine,

but these days people tell me I look tired

even after sleeping well.

This is something we often hear in consultations.

When we examine the under-eye area of people who visit us with these concerns,

we find that simple dry skin or a lack of moisture

is not the cause as often as many might expect.

Two structural changes work together to make under-eye wrinkles and sagging worsen rapidly after middle age.

The first is weakening of the orbital septum.

As the septum structure that holds the fat inside the eye socket

becomes looser with age,

the fat inside is pushed forward.

The resulting change causes the under-eye area to look puffy

and creates a hollow groove beneath it.

The second is a loss of skin elasticity.

As collagen decreases, the skin that was once held firmly in place

begins to settle downward under gravity.

When skin that has lost elasticity overlaps the fat that has been pushed forward,

wrinkles and sagging become noticeable at the same time.

When these two changes are progressing together,

improvement through eye cream or moisturizing care alone may be limited,

and laser treatments at a dermatology clinic alone

may also leave you feeling that the results are insufficient.

If you have started to feel that makeup can no longer conceal the area,

there is a high possibility that changes in the underlying structure itself,

rather than just the surface, have begun.

The options vary depending on your condition

The fact that the under-eye structure has begun to change does not mean

that the same approach is suitable for everyone.

The first things we check during a consultation

are the degree of fat protrusion and whether skin sagging is present.

If the fat has been pushed forward but some skin elasticity remains,

fat repositioning through the inside of the conjunctiva

may be considered as a priority.

Because the procedure is performed without an incision line on the outer skin

and recovery is generally sufficient to resume daily activities in 2–3 days,

it is an option that working professionals often choose

with relatively little burden.

When elasticity is reasonably maintained,

not leaving an incision line on the outer skin

means that a relatively quick return to daily life can be expected.

This is also why working professionals choose it

without significant concern about going to work or attending social engagements.

On the other hand, if skin sagging has progressed as well,

the approach is different.

Removing only the fat can improve the puffiness,

but if the loose skin remains,

fine wrinkles and the sagging appearance will not be resolved.

In this situation, making a fine incision along the lower lash line

and removing the excess skin as well

may be a more suitable option.

To be completely honest,

recommending an incision to someone who does not have much sagging,

or suggesting fat repositioning alone to someone whose sagging has progressed considerably,

are both approaches that 글로비성형외과의원 seeks to avoid.

One of the areas people ask about most during recovery

is swelling.

Major swelling usually subsides within a week,

while residual swelling generally resolves in about three weeks.

However, recovery speed may vary depending on your constitution and postoperative care,

so it is best to receive guidance tailored to your individual condition during your consultation.

If makeup can no longer conceal it,

that is a sign that it may be time to have it examined.

The moment you feel that makeup cannot resolve your under-eye wrinkles

is also when many people first begin considering a fundamental solution.

First determining what stage your condition is at

and which method suits your individual circumstances

is the starting point for reducing unnecessary trial and error.
