Infraorbital Support
the shelf of bone under your eye that decides if you look rested or wrecked
Grounded in the research on Wikipedia: Orbit (anatomy) / Infraorbital region; looksmaxxing community usage
[ ] what it actually is
Infraorbital support is the bone-and-soft-tissue shelf right under your eye — the upper cheek where it meets the lower eyelid. When that area is full and forward, your under-eye looks flat and rested. When it sinks back, you get a shadow, a hollow, a tear-trough. Looksmaxxers treat it as a key 'mid-face' marker, distinct from periorbital support (the whole eye socket frame).
[ ] the real science
The anatomy is real: the infraorbital rim and the maxilla sitting beneath it are textbook bone (Wikipedia, Orbit). But 'infraorbital support' as a beauty metric is forum coinage, not a research term — nobody published a study on it by that name. What's documented is that the orbital rim recedes and orbital fat shifts with age, deepening the hollow. That part is well-established; the looksmaxxing framing around it is not.
