What causes sunken eye sockets

What happens to the sunken eye sockets? If we want to effectively treat and solve the problem, we should pay attention to analyzing the causes. For example, some trauma or surgery to the eyes that causes soft tissue damage can cause this symptom. In addition, as we age, subcutaneous fat atrophy can also manifest this phenomenon.

1. With age, subcutaneous fat and orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital septum fat atrophy: For many people, the fat of the upper eyelids begins to atrophy after entering middle age. Symptoms include easy eye fatigue, especially in the evening, when the eyelids feel heavy and the eyes feel sleepy and dry.

2. Soft tissue defects caused by eye trauma, surgery and eye diseases: When traditional surgical methods are used to correct sagging upper eyelid skin, excess muscle and fat are removed at the same time as the skin, resulting in postoperative tissue defects and depression in the upper eyelid area. The surgical procedure is very damaging, causing severe adhesion between the tarsal plate and the subcutaneous muscle tissue of the upper eyelid. When the eyes are opened, the tarsal plate and the adhesion tissue move upward, causing a local depression. For some people, this phenomenon is not obvious when looking straight ahead, but occurs when the eyes look upward. This situation is rare. Apart from injuries and diseases, it is mainly caused by excessive fat removal during double eyelid surgery on the upper eyelid.

3. Congenital hypoplasia of the upper eyelid periorbital soft tissue and weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle: Some people have the above-mentioned changes of eyelid fat atrophy in their twenties due to physical constitution and genetics.
