What are dark circles?
The face is practically maintained by the facial mass, that is, the bone. Sometimes the lack of distribution of the periorbital fat, around the eye, produces a groove: the subparpebral groove. This groove must be differentiated from the ojera, what is the color. We call everything dark circles, but the eyecup is actually a different color more violet, darker, more brown and that is treated with a series of chemical or gas treatments. However, the subparpebral groove we call ojera can usually be treated in different ways, with hyaluronic acid fundamentally. I like to treat it with fat because it lasts longer and is from the body itself so it does not cause rejection. It also does not depend on environmental conditions and then it is much more stable because it is a fat graft.
What types of dark circles are there?
The shiners They have a different tonality to the rest of the face. They are distinguished in two fundamentally:
• The vascular, of violet color. It occurs in very translucent skins where there is an increase in the vascularization of the area.
• The derivatives of the accumulations of melanin. These dark circles are more brown and they are exposed to the sun.
Each of them has a different treatment. One would be through the pigmentation and the other through vasoconstriction of the zone or with an oxidation of ferritin.
What are the advantages of the filling of dark circles with grease?
This treatment has the great advantage of the so-called lipotransportation of fat in the dark circles. A graft of our own fat is performed. This is why rejection does not occur and has much more durability than any other type of treatment such as hyaluronic acid.
What requirements must the patient fulfill for the filling of dark circles with fat?
The requirements that must have is to be of legal age and the other that has a subparpebral or ojera groove. ç
When will the results be visible?
In the case of the sub-parpal groove it is righ now because it is a filling and is seen in the same act, the minute it is done. In the case of pigmentation of the color of the eyecup several treatments are needed. It is very individual and there are people who see it throughout the month or two months and there are people who take a little longer.
What is the duration of the filling with grease?
In the case of fat more than two years. If this groove is because there are very prominent sub-parpal bags, the treatment should be combined, that is, a surgical or semi-surgical treatment because it can be done by laser to decrease the volume of that sub-parpal bag and then the filling with fat. In that case, the duration is approximately two years.
