Default Black Under Eye Circles??

OK what the heck is up with the black circles under my eyes?! They have gotten worse every week since surgery. I am sleeping the same, and nothing else has really changed.

Anyone else deal with this? My eyes are my best feature (I gotta stay positive about one area of my body!) and now they look like raccoon eyes!

HELP!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Wow! I guess it's a weight loss or surgery thing because I have the same problem. My sister who is a yr post-op also gets the dark circles. I thought it was because I wasn't getting enough sleep but my sleeping pattern hasn't changed. Some days are better than others but I still wear my glasses instead of my contacts to cover it up.

The skin under your eyes are much thinner than other areas under the body. When you age or lose a significant amount of weight, the veins that are under the skin are more prominent therefore causing the look of black circles. A loss of colagen also causes the veins to be more noticeable. All you can do is find a really good concealer. " I am not a Dr. but I play one on this thread " LOL Sorry, had to throw that cliche in there

Ok so my next question is any ideas for a great concealer? I bought one that is horrible and does not hide them at all.
