I grew up with Droopy the dog cartoons. A character that was the epitome of eye bags.
These seemingly harmless pouches that reside beneath our eyes can often be a cause for frustration, as they can make us appear tired, older, and, let's face it, less vibrant.
But what really causes these?
Read on to discover there isn't just one single cause. It is multiple triggers that are responsible, which is why we take a multi-level approach. Eye bags can also be influenced by additional factors, including the following:
Hollow Tear Trough:
The tear trough is a natural groove that extends from the inner corner of the eye diagonally towards the cheek. As we age, the tear trough can deepen, creating a hollow or sunken appearance. This contrast between the hollow area and the prominence of the surrounding tissues can make eye bags appear more prominent.
Prolapse of Orbital Fat:
Orbital fat pads are responsible for cushioning the eyes within the eye sockets. With age, these fat pads can bulge or prolapse, causing the area beneath the eyes to appear puffy and contribute to the formation of eye bags.
Skin Laxity and Sun Damage:
Loss of skin elasticity is a natural part of the aging process. Skin in the under-eye area becomes less firm, and sun damage can accelerate this process. As a result, the skin may sag and contribute to the appearance of eye bags.
Eyelid Fluid:
The delicate tissues around the eyes can retain fluid due to factors like poor lymphatic drainage, excessive salt intake, or hormonal fluctuations. Fluid accumulation can lead to swelling and temporary eye bags.
Orbicularis Hyperactivity:
The orbicularis oculi muscle encircles the eyes and is responsible for blinking and closing the eyelids. In some individuals, this muscle can be hyperactive, causing constant tension and leading to the appearance of eye bags.
Triangular Cheek Festoon:
Triangular cheek festoon refers to the sagging or prominence of tissues in the cheek area. This can create a downward pull on the skin around the eyes, contributing to the formation of eye bags.
It's important to note that eye bags can result from a combination of these factors, and their severity may vary among individuals.
