Or in another case where the doctor removes a small amount of fat, it will result in the eyelid being thick and high, looking unnatural.
  • Insufficient rest or accumulated stress It will cause the skin under the eyes to become dark and also cause the skin under the eyes to collapse quickly, making the eyes look sunken and more worn out.
