Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eyes are among the most sought after. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 women and men underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and the number of cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation can not even be counted.
What do you need to know about those who want to improve this part of the face, called by the classic "soul mirror"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area that require rejuvenation
- Heavy, tired look.
- Fallen eyelids.
- Bags or bulges under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be successfully corrected with upper or lower eyelid surgery. Plastic surgery aims to improve the three main components of eyelid tissue: skin, muscle and fat. The result is beautiful eyes and a youthful appearance.
Upper eyelid renovation
Most patients who visit beauty clinics complain of heavy, drooping upper eyelids, sometimes forming a kind of "hood". This condition is called ptosis. Drooping eyelids can be congenital or caused by injuries, diseases of the nervous system, and even improper administration of Botox.
Before surgery, the doctor discovers the reasons for the drooping of the eyelids, which allows you to eliminate it in the most effective way. The condition of the eyelid muscles should be taken into account. If they are weak, canthopexy or cantoplasty surgery is performed, which strengthens muscle structures. It is usually performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
During the operation, the skin and excess fat are removed, which emerge from the depths of the tissues. The technique gives immediate results, improving the contour of the eyelids, making the appearance more open, and the face - relaxed and refreshed.
If the soft tissues of the forehead are loose and drooping, in addition to raising the eyelid, raising the eyebrows and correcting the forehead is indicated.
How plastic surgery fixes lower eyelid problems
The most common complaints in this area of the face are the bags under the eyes. The skin of the lower eyelid is extremely sensitive and becomes thinner with age. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, similar to thin crushed paper, through which fat appears.
This condition is corrected by an elevation - lower blepharoplasty. During the operation, the excess skin is removed along with the protruding fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretched muscles.
In patients with a small amount of excess skin, it is compressed (caught), which makes the contour of the lower eyelid softer.
With significant age-related changes, it is often necessary to operate on both eyelids in order to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid rejuvenation
In addition to surgery, there are an increasing number of non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of eyelid skin:
- Microneedles- a procedure during which the skin is pierced with small needles. As a result, small holes remain in it, which the body tries to repair by producing collagen and elastin proteins.
- Dry peelingwith various natural ingredients that rejuvenates the skin and removes wrinkles.
- Laser treatments, stimulating metabolic processes and causing muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatmentsthat strengthen and soften the skin.
Operational and non-operative methods of eyelid correction should not be considered mutually exclusive. Both techniques can be used together, organically complement each other and give excellent results.
Correction of nasolacrimal grooves
At the junction of the lower eyelid and the cheek, there is a nasolacrimal groove, which becomes more pronounced with age. The soft tissues of the face lose volume and the force of gravity causes them to stretch down. A dark, arched area forms under the eyelid, making the eyes look tired and aged.
In the process of improving the aesthetics of this area, the tear duct fills in several ways:
- With the help of fillers - fillers that replenish lost tissue volumes.
- Adding fat cells transferred from other areas of the body.
- The condition of this area is improved with the help of non-surgical procedures - micronella, radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
Platelet-derived plasma injections are also used by the patient. Plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate skin regeneration that overlaps in nasolacrimal sulcus.
Beautician will help you choose a combined method consisting of several complementary procedures.
Eye area rejuvenation features
Plastic surgery of the upper and lower eyelids can provide immediate, long-term and visible results. But when performing them, an important nuance must be taken into account. Many nerves and blood vessels pass through this area, and its tissues are very thin and delicate. Therefore, surgery can only be entrusted to a physician with extensive experience who has experience in performing blepharoplasty.
When performed correctly by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, the rejuvenation procedure produces excellent results that satisfy patients.
