What causes under-eye bags that make the face look prematurely aged? Don’t let the problem of premature aging affect our confidence and personal image
The sagging of the orbital septum In the area around our eyes.
There is fat surrounded by the orbital septum or a membrane that acts like a sack. As we age, this membrane begins to sag, causing the fat it contains to also sag, resulting in under-eye bags.
The shrinking of the orbital bone As we get older.
Not only does the external skin show signs of aging, but the internal facial bones also change. The lower orbital bone starts to shrink, leading to a deeper indentation known as the tear trough, making it more prominent.
The skin sags With increasing age.
We lose the fat layer that supports the skin, as well as collagen. Reduced collagen leads to decreased skin and underlying muscle elasticity, resulting in the accumulation of fat in the lower eyelid.
