The eye area is one of the most vulnerable facial regions to deformation and a significant indicator of age. Structural or acquired issues with eyebrows and eyelashes can also be included in this category.

Everything begins at the cellular level. Cells form, wear down, age, and eventually die. Skin cells, naturally, are part of this cycle. In the process known as aging, the skin's primary cells-collagen and elastin-also go through this cycle. There are factors that can accelerate this process, such as the depletion of essential elements in the skin, accumulation of oxidants, and dietary imbalances, among others.

Due to factors such as aging and sudden weight loss, the fat pads beneath the skin that help define facial contours may begin to erode. This loss can lead to asymmetry, sagging, and a sunken appearance in the face.
