What Should I Do About Under-Eye Hollows? A Customized Procedure Guide by Under-Eye Hollow Type

Hello.

I am Director Oh Jeong-min of Moonrae Doctor O Clinic,

who always puts their heart into care.

Even when you haven’t particularly lost weight,

do you ever feel like

"the area under my eyes looks sunken"

"my face looks tired and dull"?

Under-eye hollows and dark circles

make the entire face look older and can have a big impact on first impressions.

That is why many people search online while wondering what procedure

is best for under-eye hollows.

Not all under-eye hollows take the same form.

Depending on skin thickness, the degree of hollowing, and whether pigmentation is present,

they appear in slightly different ways,

and the choice of procedure should also differ accordingly.

Why do under-eye hollows happen?

Under-eye hollows are not caused by a single factor,

but by a combination of several factors.

1. Skin aging

As we age, collagen and elastin in the skin decrease,

causing the skin around the eyes to become thinner

and lose elasticity.

As a result, hollowness and fine lines appear.

2. Sagging and shifting of under-eye fat

When the elasticity of the soft tissues that support the skin and facial structure declines,

superficial fat pads and deep fat pads move downward with gravity,

creating contours in the under-eye and midface areas.

3. Repeated facial habits and muscle atrophy

Habits such as rubbing or squinting the eyes frequently

cause ongoing physical stimulation to the under-eye skin,

which worsens hollowness and fine lines.

Under-eye hollows

are treated differently depending on the type.

1. When only the tear trough is hollow

This is a common pattern in the early stage of under-eye hollowness,

and it can be improved with tear trough filler.

Because the under-eye area has thin skin

and is a highly mobile region,

it is important to use a filler with soft properties

and inject it at an appropriate depth

only where needed.

It can provide a natural improvement without looking obvious.

2. When the entire under-eye area is hollow

and dark circles are present

*Photo posted with the patient's consent. Unauthorized reproduction or redistribution is prohibited.

This is a type in which the entire under-eye area is hollow,

with a thin eyebag lump visible,

or dark circles are present.

For this type, improvement is possible with a combination treatment of Doctor O Clinic’s under-eye collagen injection and volume threads.

If there is no eyebag and only overall under-eye hollowness, collagen injections alone can also be effective,

but if a small eyebag is present, using volume threads can also help achieve an effect similar to fat repositioning.

3. When the under-eye fat is bulging and the area beneath it is deeply hollow

*Photo posted with the patient's consent. Unauthorized reproduction or redistribution is prohibited.

This type is commonly seen in middle-aged and older adults, especially after the 50s.

It can be supplemented by filling only the hollow area beneath the eyebag with a small amount of filler to reduce the level difference,

but the most suitable treatment is under-eye fat repositioning surgery.

In such cases, Doctor O Clinic recommends consultation with a plastic surgery specialist for under-eye fat repositioning.

"Under-eye procedures,

a criterion more important than simply filling"

The eyes are a key area that determines first impressions.

Rather than simply filling the hollow area,

a customized treatment plan is needed that considers together:

• movement patterns of the eyes

• skin thickness

• the shape and degree of hollowing

• the overall balance of the face

At Moonrae Doctor O Clinic,

we directly check eye movement during the consultation process

and perform customized procedures according to each person’s under-eye type.

Rather than looking at the under-eye area alone,

we aim for natural changes

in a way that harmonizes with facial expressions.

If you are worried about under-eye hollows,

why not experience a change that brightens your impression without being excessive,

through Doctor O Clinic’s delicate diagnosis and design?

Thank you.
