Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgery that enhance the appearance of the eyes are among the most popular. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 women and men underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and the number of aesthetic procedures for rejuvenation could not even be counted.
What do you need to know for those who want to improve this part of the face, referred to by the classic "soul mirror"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area require rejuvenation
- Heavy and tired appearance.
- Falling eyelids.
- Bag or swelling under the eyes.
- Excessive wrinkled skin.
A large number of these problems have been successfully corrected with upper or lower eyelid surgery. Plastic surgery aims to repair the three main components of eyelid tissue: skin, muscle and fat. The result is beautiful eyes and youthful look.
Rejuvenation of the upper eyelid
A large number of patients who visit beauty clinics complain of thick upper eyelids, sometimes forming a kind of "veil". This condition is called ptosis. Drooping eyelids can be congenital or caused by injuries, diseases of the nervous system, and even improper use of Botox.
Before surgery, the doctor knows the causes of drooping eyelids, which allows you to get rid of them in the most effective way. The condition of the eyelid muscles must be taken into account. If they are weak, canthopexy surgery or cantoplasty is performed, which strengthens the muscle structure. It is usually performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
During surgery, excess skin and fat are removed, which stands out from the depths of the tissue. This technique gives immediate results, improves the contours of the eyelids, makes the appearance more open, and the face - relaxed and fresh.
If the soft tissue of the forehead is loose and sagging, eyebrow lift and forehead correction are indicated in addition to eyelid lift.
How plastic surgery improves lower eyelid problems
The most common complaint in this area of the face is the bag under the eyes. The skin of the lower eyelids is very sensitive and thinner with age. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, similar to shredded thin paper, in which fat is prominent.
This condition is corrected by lift - lower blepharoplasty. During surgery, excess skin is removed along with prominent fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretched muscles.
In patients with slight excess skin, it is compressed (pinched), which makes the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
With obvious age-related changes, it is often necessary to use both eyelids to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid rejuvenation
In addition to surgery, there is an increase in non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of eyelid skin:
- Microneedles- a procedure in which the skin is pricked with a small needle. As a result, small holes remain on it, which the body tries to repair by producing collagen and elastin proteins.
- Chemical exfoliationwith various natural compounds that rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles.
- Laser treatment, stimulates metabolic processes and causes muscle contraction.
- Radio and ultrasound frequency treatmentthat tightens and smoothes the skin.
Methods of operation and non-operation of eyelid correction should not be considered mutually exclusive. The two techniques can be used together, complementing each other organically and giving excellent results.
Nasolakrimal groove correction
At the intersection of the eyelids and lower cheeks, there is a nasolacrimal groove, which becomes more pronounced with increasing age. The soft tissue of the face loses volume, and the force of gravity makes it stretch downwards. Dark and curved areas form under the eyelids, making the eyes look tired and old.
In the process of improving the aesthetics of this zone, the tear ducts are filled in several ways:
- With the help of fillers - fillers that fill the amount of lost tissue.
- By adding fat cells that are transferred from other areas of the body.
- The condition of this area is improved with the help of non-surgical procedures - microneedel method, radio frequency, ultrasound and laser.
Platelet-derived plasma (PRP) injections from patients are also used. Plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate skin rejuvenation that overcomes nasolacrimal sulcus.
A beautician will help you choose a combination method that consists of several complementary procedures.
Eye area rejuvenation features
Plastic surgery of the upper and lower eyelids can provide immediate, long-lasting and noticeable results. But while doing so, important nuances must be taken into account. Many nerves and blood vessels pass through this zone, and the tissue is very thin and smooth. Therefore, the operation can only be trusted by a doctor with extensive experience, who is experienced in performing blepharoplasty.
When performed properly by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, rejuvenation procedures produce excellent results that satisfy patients.
