Adipose Pockets (Fat Pockets)

Definition: Swelling under the mobile eyelid, which is due to the presence of permanent fat pockets. With age, the periorbital fat mass shifts due to skin laxity and slides downwards under the effect of gravity. Initially, this fatty cushion serves to protect the eye from the bony walls.

Internal and external causes: Effects of skin ageing.

How to reduce or eliminate: Cosmetic surgery (lower blepharoplasty); aesthetic medicine (injection of anti-fat cluster peptides).

Preventative steps to take: Apply a product daily that contains elements to prevent the appearance of ageing signs (Q10, prickly pear oil...).
