Removing dark under-eye circles through surgery may cause harm such as damage to local nerves or blood vessels. If bleeding occurs in the eyelid area, noticeable redness, swelling, and bruising around the eyes may result. The soft tissues in this area are relatively loose; if swelling is significant, it may compress the eyeball, increasing intraocular pressure and potentially leading to vision abnormalities in severe cases. To minimize the risks associated with surgical procedures, patients must have a comprehensive understanding of their own health condition and actively cooperate—such as avoiding blood-circulation-promoting medications before surgery, refraining from cosmetic surgery during menstruation, and preventing skin inflammation.
