What is the diagonal wrinkle under the eye?

Long-term late nights or aging may cause the fat under the eyes to gradually atrophy, making the skin thin and less elastic, leading to an oblique wrinkle under the eye. This wrinkle usually extends from the fine lines under the eyes or crow's feet and is located in a noticeable area below the eye, potentially affecting the overall facial aesthetics and making a person appear more tired and aged.

Can removing under-eye bags eliminate eye wrinkles?

In general, "removing eye bags" refers to blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Whether blepharoplasty can eliminate eye wrinkles mainly depends on the severity of the wrinkles. If there are only mild fine lines around the eyes, blepharoplasty may provide some improvement. However, if the eye wrinkles are deep, the effectiveness of blepharoplasty may be limited. It is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamins and protein regularly to maintain healthy and elastic skin.
