Under Eye Fat Pads

Under-eye fat pads, also known as infraorbital fat herniation or under-eye bags, are a common cosmetic concern affecting individuals of all ages. These fat pads manifest as puffiness or swelling under the eyes, creating a tired or aged appearance.

Symptoms of Under-Eye Fat Pads

Puffiness: Creates a swollen appearance, making individuals look tired or older.
Dark Circles: Shadows caused by fat pads contribute to dark circles, enhancing a tired look.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Fat pads can exacerbate fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Difficulty with Makeup: Puffiness can create uneven texture, complicating makeup application.

Causes of Under-Eye Fat Pads

Genetics: Inherited traits can predispose individuals to under-eye fat pads.
Aging: As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, which causes skin to thin and sag, making fat pads more prominent.
Fluid Retention: Dietary habits, hormonal changes, or sleep disturbances can worsen under-eye puffiness.
Lifestyle Habits: Smoking, excessive alcohol, poor diet, and inadequate sleep can contribute to the development of fat pads.

Impact of Under-Eye Fat Pads
Under-eye fat pads can significantly affect facial aesthetics, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. Puffy under-eye fat pads detract from facial symmetry and make individuals appear older, impacting self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings. Difficulty with makeup application can further limit one's ability to achieve desired cosmetic results.

Treatment Options for Under-Eye Fat Pads
At our clinic in Bondi Junction, we offer several treatments for under-eye fat pads:

Jelly Roll Technique: Muscle relaxants (in Australia, we can't name the product) offer a solution that temporarily relaxes the muscles beneath the eye. This relaxation smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of the jelly roll for a more refreshed look.
Morpheus8: A minimally invasive RF microneedling device that tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production, improving under-eye texture and reducing puffiness with minimal downtime.
AccuTite: A minimally invasive RF device that delivers targeted thermal energy to tighten and contour the skin, providing immediate results with minimal downtime.
