What Causes Dark And Sunken Eyes Due To Loss Of Fat Under Eyes?

Hi, I am a a female who recently have lost all the fat under my eyes, making my tear troughs very dark. My eyes seem sunken. It happened VERY fast in a matter of a few weeks. I look sickly. I am trying to understand why this happened so fast. Pictures of myself from just a few months ago are dramatically different under the eye area. I have been suffering from acne for the past few years and recently have tried a few things to clear it up because I was trying to avoid accutane, because I was worried about the side affects. I had one session of the VBeam laser and one session of the Isolaz laser. This did nothing for my acne. I then started a cleanse where I took Cascara Sagrada for a month, stopped eating dairy and wheat. It was around this time i noticed a real change in my eyes. It has been two months since I have stopped the diet but my eyes have not gotten any better. I am very worried. I do not recognize myself anymore. I do not know if its possible the lasers could have done this to my eyes or if its was my diet. It happened SO FAST i do not believe it is aging. I also have chronic diarrhea, but have had that problem for a few years and my eyes still looked nice. Can anyone help me? I appreciate it. I am female who just turned 32, who is 115 pounds. I have had surgery previously on my sinues to open up the airway so i could breath better. Other than that and some my stomach being upset often I have no other medical history.
