| 'Severe dark circles—could they be caused by under-eye fat rather than skin tone?' |
The under-eye area, which looks dark and uneven,
makes the whole impression feel heavy.
There are many cases where people mistake this for dark circles caused simply by skin tone,
but in fact, the shadow under the eyes has a different cause.

How is Ruho’s under-eye surgery different?
Dark circles are not caused by under-eye fat alone.
The tear trough ligament (TTL) is firmly anchored
between the upper area where fat protrudes and the lower area where it is hollow.
This makes the dark circles appear deeper.
Our clinic precisely checks the TTL location and structure
and accurately sets the direction for improvement of the under-eye area.

Under-eye structure before surgery
-
A deep boundary formed along the tear trough ligament
-
A structure with both protrusion and hollowing at the same time
-
Emphasized shadows caused by the structure
In a state where the under-eye area does not continue as one,
light was interrupted at the ligament area,
deepening the shadow that looked like dark circles.
Through under-eye surgery, the separated structure was connected,
with the goal of creating a neat eye area.

If under-eye surgery alone is not enough
If the amount of fat is naturally low from birth
or the under-eye hollows are too deep,
the existing fat alone may not be enough to fill the space.
In addition to under-eye surgery,
Ruho smooths the under-eye area with non-incisional fat grafting
and adds volume in a natural and balanced way.

After men’s under-eye surgery at Sinsa Station
-
Natural connection of the previously interrupted structure
-
Reduced height difference and formation of a smooth curve
-
Dark circles eased, giving a more refined impression
The structure divided around the tear trough ligament
was eased and connected into one.
As the difference between protrusion and hollowing decreased,
deep shadows were reduced and the eye area looked cleaner.
