Discover a new technique for Matrix regenerative surgery for dark circles. The doctor SMARRITO, FMH cosmetic surgeon has developed an exclusive and patented technique for treating hollow under-eye circles.

This is an exclusive minimally invasive surgical technique.

TREATMENT FOR DARK CIRCLES

Do you have dark circles under your eyes? Do you look tired? Do people around you comment on your bags under your eyes? Have you lost weight and your eyes look sunken? Often, these are simply... dark circles or hollow valley of tearsFortunately, a solution exists.

Le dark circle treatment may be medical by hyaluronic acid injection. On the other hand, more effective surgical solutions have appeared in recent years. As a surgeon, the Doctor SMARRITO A blepharoplasty specialist will advise you on how to treat your dark circles.

Treating dark circles is a complex subject, requiring in-depth knowledge of the area and genuine surgical expertise. Therefore, a crucial step is establishing a diagnosis before any procedure. Given the almost universal use of fat grafting to achieve the desired result, only a cosmetic surgeon can advise you on the suitability of lipofilling as a treatment option.

The different types of dark circles

It exists 3 types of dark circles at eye level:

• Le hollow under-eye circle With age, the eye loses the fat around the eyes, and the face hollows. This is a normal part of aging. This phenomenon is sometimes accentuated by weight loss or exercise. This hollowing gives those affected a tired appearance. Often associated with this, tear troughs can also deepen.
• Le pigmented under-eye circles : the lower eyelid is pigmented. Various colors can be observed. Examples include blue, black, and brown circles. Blue circles are due to a lack of tissue covering the skin. Because the skin of the eyelids is very thin, the blood vessels are visible. Thus, the lack of tissue makes the blood vessels more noticeable. Dark circles, on the other hand, are due to an accumulation of melanin in the area. Dark circles are often associated with a "Mediterranean basin" or "Saharan" origin.
• Le raised circle Bags under the eyes create the appearance of dark circles due to their texture. Often, the presence of dark circles is due to fatty deposits. Paradoxically, bags can appear at a very young age (familial bags) or around the age of forty (aging of the orbital rim). Strictly speaking, the goal is not to fill in the gaps but to redistribute the volume. Typically, there are three bags on the lower eyelid, with the inner bag being more prominent.

I advise my clients to take a comprehensive approach to treating dark circles. As a stem cell specialist, combining traditional blepharoplasty with nanofat allows me to achieve satisfactory results. For example, injecting microfat into the tear trough and orbital hollow surpasses hyaluronic acid injections.

A solution for every type of dark circles

We will advise you on a tailor-made solution because each case is different.

Exclusive patented technique for treating hollow and pigmented dark circles

Doctor SMARRITO patented after 2 years of research, a matrix regenerative surgery technique It is specific to complex under-eye circles and can be explained to you during a consultation.

Traditional techniques:

For simple hollow under-eye circles, we prefer microfat injection (micro-fat injection).

Indeed, fat is an autologous (natural and personal) product that allows for the creation of a micro-volume. This volume effectively fills the hollow area. Cosmetic surgeons have been using it for this purpose for over 15 years. After a slight initial swelling, the fat settles and remains permanently.

For pigmented under-eye circles, a revolution has emerged in the form of Nanofat.

Significant progress has been made in the treatment of pigmented dark circles (rich in melanin). This involves liquefied fat that improves skin tone. Indeed, thickening the skin is necessary to conceal the vascularization. Furthermore, Nanofat contains growth factors and the stromal vascular fraction. According to recent publications, stem cells reduce excess melanin.

Stem cells can also be stored from fat, a process available exclusively in Switzerland. This is a promising avenue for the future. However, the cost is high.

For raised under-eye circles, lower blepharoplasty is combined with other techniques.

Indeed, when dark circles include bags under the eyes, we combine blepharoplasty with micro-lipofilling. The lower blepharoplasty is performed by Dr. SMARRITO with a laser and without scarring. Thus, the scar is hidden in the conjunctiva and the laser improves the immediate recovery (see video of lower eyelid surgery).

Your fat replaces hyaluronic acid…

Fat grafting and its derivatives surpass hyaluronic acid…

       The hyaluronic acid is currently rarely used by cosmetic surgeons for this indication. Indeed, we have access to acid but also to lipofilling and stem cell techniques. We are the only doctors authorized and accredited to manipulate fat.

Currently, hyaluronic acid is still used for reasons of moderate costHowever, handling it in this area is delicate. As experts, we often encounter patients who have experienced injections with a product that is too dense. Unfortunately, the result is very unsightly. Thus, even without error, hyaluronic acid can give a bluish tint to thin skin. This is due to the Tyndall effectSimilarly, if the water effect predominates, a water pocket may appear and remain for several years.

Doctor SMARRITO recommends the use of the autologous fatThis is the patient's own fat, thus limiting the risk of rejection. The microfat technique allows for the delivery of very fine fat, which will distribute itself evenly. nanofat improves skin health. The techniques of SVF et Adipose Stem Cells stimulate tissue rejuvenation and open the door to a new surgical future.

Doctor SMARRITO He is in charge of the STEM CELL program at the La Prairie clinic, and he developed the SKIN CELL BOOST program. He will therefore be able to provide you with information on these topics.

Lower blepharoplasty for raised under-eye circles

This type of dark circle is caused by lower under-eye fat deposits. Correction is exclusively surgical.

This is a surgery where it is usually necessary to remove the fatty pocket.

   Again, without going overboard, I perform this procedure via the conjunctiva. This means there is no visible external scar. This also avoids the main complication of this procedure. A complication never before encountered in over 20 years of practice, which is the round eye.

Indeed, it is essential to protect the skin on the lower part of the eyelid. Thanks to the laser incision, the scar is therefore inside the eyelid, allowing us to address the excess fat deposit, which is often threefold.

It is then possible to perform targeted resection to eliminate the bulging effect on the eyelid. In some cases, it is possible to redrape the skin by removing a very superficial area of ​​skin.
