Anatomy

Periorbital Region (Area Around Eyes / Orbital Soft Tissues)

The periorbital region is the area around your eyes, including skin, fat, muscles, and connective tissue. This delicate area shows age first because the skin is thinner and the skin there has fewer oil glands. Understanding this area is important because conditions like puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles affect appearance and can sometimes indicate health problems.
