what is good for dark circles under eyes and how can you determine what is the cause of dark circles.. i have anemia i was told my hemoglobin is low, and have seen several dermatologist but still don't have answers i am 48 years old and i could pass for 3

Accepted Answer

Dark : Dark circles under the eyes have several possible causes. In some cases it is due to the deposition of hemoglobin by-products in the skin resulting from chronic nasal congestion.

In other cases, the dark circles is actually due to shadowing in the area that results from facial volume loss. This can be treated with improving the volume loss. This can be done with an in- office filler injection or facial fat grafting (fat transfer).

Another common cause is genetics. Some people simply have more pigmentation in their lower eyelid skin. This is very difficult to change.

Question 10

is puffy eyes related to anemia?

Accepted Answer

The anemia would...: Likely be very severe to cause this accumulation of fluid in the extravascular spaces (aka "third spacing").  A decreased red cell mass does decrease the oncotic pressue of blood, leading to inefficient reuptake of fluid at the venous side of the capillary bed. If it were to occur however, the area around the eyes would be one place to see this because the tissue there is highly distensible.
