If there is no pain or other related symptom, most likely it is just the way your anatomy developed. Some people have veins located very deeply in their tissue and other people have them very close to the surface. It is just a normal variation in people and is often an inherited trait.

Another reason for veins to look deeper may be related to your body type, those with more muscle and less adipose tissue also will have their veins much more prominently exposed.

One other cause can be dehydration making a low blood volume, but if you get proper fluids, that is unlikely the cause for your veins to be "sunken". You would likely have additional symptoms if that were the cause, as well. Just be sure to keep well hydrated.

If you are concerned, ask your doctor for the specific reason why your veins may look different than other people's the next time you have a check up.
