What are the risk and complications that one should expect while undergoing a surgery to remove dark circles? In general how far they are all safe?

[tater03]

Is there a surgury to remove them? I just ask because I have never heard of it or know anyone that has had it done. Curious to know what it is they do if their is a surgury?

I'm not sure if there is a surgery to remove them, but if there is I'm guessing that there is a general risk for some damage to the eye area, most likely to things like nerves.  That's just my guess, though.

The skin in the under eye areas is the thinnest in the human body.
Thus, a major disturbance of things in these areas, like surgery,
carries a significant amount of risk.

I don't think that there are any surgical treatments for Dark Circles.
Even if there are, most doctors in the United States don't publicly
advertise those treatments.  Any potential complications, and liability
costs, for such risky surgery outweight any benefits.  Most doctors
won't perform anything unless there is a good chance that they will
make a lot of $$$ from doing that procedure.

Potential complications can be:  scarring, infection, loss of vision,
blindness, even WORSE looking Dark Circles, etc.

To make a long story short, the risks are just too great, for both the
patient and the doctor, to justify Dark Circle surgery.  At least right now.

Someday, this type of surgery might be safe and cheap.  About 30 years
ago, LASIK eye surgery was in the same category.  Now, LASIK is safe
and widely performed.  However, LASIK still isn't perfect.  In the
United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently checked
into the problems with LASIK surgery.

According to me try to get more sleep. Go to bed earlier every night. And drink lots ofwater, and may be try exercising some more. And massage all around youreyes to help the blood flow more.

i need some surgery but i am not going for it ...because i am confuse of its side effects

If your darkness is caused by pigmentation, like mine was, co2 laser treatment is very effective. Doctors commonly misdiagnose pigmentation for broken blood vessels so always get more than one opinion. I also had radiesse injections under the eye muscle. The laser and injection cost me $3800. The scabs were gone in 8 days.
