\'What if those dark circles
are caused by under-eye fat, not skin tone?’
Dark, uneven under-eyes can make
the entire face appear tired and heavy.
Many people assume that dark circles arecaused by pigmentation.
In reality, under-eye shadows candevelop for several reasons.
“What Makes
LUHO’s Approach Different?”
Dark circles are not always caused byprotruding fat alone.
The tear trough ligament, or TTL, firmlyanchors the area
between the bulging fat above and thehollow below.
This structural divide can create deepershadows,
making dark circles appear more pronounced.
At LUHO, we carefully evaluate theposition
and structure of the TTL to plan anappropriate
surgical approach for each patient.
*The photographs were taken and publishedwith the patient’s consent.
Surgical outcomes and recovery may varyfrom person to person.
“Examining
the Under-Eye Structure BeforeSurgery”
▶ A deep boundary along the tear troughligament
▶ Protrusion and hollowing occurringtogether
▶ Pronounced shadows caused bystructural irregularities
Before surgery, the under-eye contour
did not form one smooth, continuoussurface.
Light was interrupted around theligament,
creating a deeper shadow that appearedas dark circles.
The goal of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning wasto create
a smoother transition between theprotruding
and hollow areas for a cleaner, morerefreshed appearance.
“When Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Alone MayNot Be Enough”
If a patient naturally has limited
under-eye fat or significant hollowing,
the existing fat may not be sufficientto fill the entire area.
In these cases,
LUHO may combineUnder-Eye Fat Repositioning
with minimally invasive fat grafting torefine the contour
and restore balanced volume.

The structural division around the tear
trough ligament became less noticeable,
allowing the under-eye area to appearsmoother and more connected.
As the difference between the protruding
and hollow areas was reduced,
the deep shadow softened and the eyesappeared
cleaner and more refreshed.
