im 24/m. healty 5'7 160lbs. lift weights few times a week, etc. I hate my darkness/sunken under eyes. Started around age 17. I dont sleep very well, mby cause of stress, cause i look like crap! yes, im a little depressed:(. wouldnt u be if u looked like me? I drink water/juice all day. no alcohol, or smoking.

i had rhinoplasty on feb 8th. nose is still swollen... :swollen:

i would appreciate ANY help, such as Dr's nearby. Wats my best option: restylane, laser, bleeching, fat graft???

Before jumping into surgery, check out some of these techniques:

Best Eye Cream For Dark Circles

Were these pictures taken before or after your Feb 8th rhinoplasty? Because that certainly would contribute to the dark circles... remember the black eyes you had after surgery (or at least, most of us get them).

Increasing your sleep is always recommended. If you don't mind me asking, what ethnicity are you? Certain ethnicities (mostly Eastern European) are more susceptible to getting them.

And to answer your question - no I have seen far, far worse than that, so cheer up :)

Excellent questioning, la_angel, as your query is relevant!

I too, have seen much worse.

pics r after rhino. taken on the day i posted. like i said, ive had them for yrs now. i barely got brusing from my rhino.

i was born in Azores, wich is in Atlantic ocean. 2,400 mi from coast. Governd by Portugal.

Your complexion and/or ancestry might contribute to your dark circles.

Do other people in your family have dark dircles as well?

It sounds like yours are likely just genetic. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot that can be done, unless you are open to wearing a little discreet makeup?

Dermablend works wonders.

I recently got a sample of that. I don't really have any use for it but I plan on testing it out :)

I use it for undereye circles (if I run out of Boing from Benefit) or if I get an occasional blemish. Amazing product.
