Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgery that enhance the appearance of the eyes are among the most requested. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 women and men underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and a number of beauty treatments. rejuvenation procedures cannot even be counted.
What do you need to know for those who want to improve this part of the face, which is called the classic "soul mirror"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area that require rejuvenation
- Heavy and tired appearance.
- Eyelids are falling.
- Bags or puffiness under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be corrected successfully by surgical removal of the upper or lower eyelid. Plastic surgery is aimed at repairing the three main components of eyelid tissue: skin, muscle and fat. The result is beautiful eyes and a youthful look.
Upper eyelid rejuvenation
Most patients who visit beauty clinics complain of a heavy, drooping upper eyelid, sometimes forming a kind of "hood". This condition is called ptosis. Drooping eyelids can be congenital or caused by injury, diseases of the nervous system, and even improper administration of Botox.
Before surgery, the doctor finds out the cause of drooping eyelids, which will allow you to remove them in the most effective way. The condition of the eyelid muscles must be considered. If it is weak, a canthopexy or cantoplasty is performed, which strengthens the muscle structure. Usually done in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
During surgery, excess skin and fat is removed, which protrude from the inside of the tissue. This technique provides immediate results, improves the contour of the eyelids, makes the look more open, and the face - rested and refreshed.
If the soft tissue of the forehead is loose and sagging, brow lift and forehead correction are indicated in addition to an eyelid lift.
How does plastic surgery fix lower eyelid problems
The most common complaint in this area of the face is bags under the eyes. The skin of the lower eyelid is very sensitive and becomes thinner with age. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, similar to thin crumpled paper, where fat protrudes.
The condition is corrected by lifting surgery - lower blepharoplasty. During surgery, excess skin is removed along with prominent fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretched muscle.
In patients with a little excess skin, it is compressed (pinched), which makes the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
With obvious age-related changes, both eyelids should be operated on to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical method of eyelid rejuvenation
Apart from surgery, there is an increasing number of non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelid skin:
- Microneedles- procedure of pricking the skin with a small needle. As a result, small holes remain in them, which the body tries to repair by producing the proteins collagen and elastin.
- Chemical peelswith various natural compounds that rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles.
- Laser treatment, stimulates metabolic processes and causes muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatmentsthat tighten and smooth the skin.
Surgical and non-operational methods of eyelid correction should not be considered exclusive. The two techniques can be used together, complement each other organically and give excellent results.
Correction of nasolacrimal grooves
At the junction between the eyelid and the cheek, there is a nasolacrimal groove, which becomes more noticeable with age. The soft tissues of the face lose volume, and the force of gravity causes them to stretch downward. A dark, curved area forms under the eyelids, making the eyes look tired and old.
In the process of enhancing the aesthetics of this zone, the tear ducts are filled in several ways:
- With the help of fillers that replenish the volume of lost tissue.
- By adding fat cells that are transferred from other areas of the body.
- The condition of this area improves with the help of non-surgical procedures - microneedles, radio frequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
Patient's platelet-derived plasma (PRP) injection is also used. Plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate rejuvenation of the skin over the nasolacrimal sulcus.
A beautician will help you choose a combined method consisting of several complementary procedures.
Eye area rejuvenation feature
Upper and lower eyelid plastic surgery can provide immediate, long-lasting and tangible results. But when 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, this operation can only be trusted by doctors with extensive experience, who are experienced in performing blepharoplasty.
If performed properly by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, the rejuvenation procedure will produce excellent results that satisfy the patient.
