The most demanded are cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eyes. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 men and women underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and aesthetic rejuvenation procedures could not even be counted.
What do you need to know for those who want to improve this part of the face called the classic "soul mirror"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area that require rejuvenation
- Heavy, tired look.
- Fallen eyelids.
- bags or swelling under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be successfully corrected with upper or lower eyelid lift 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 rejuvenation
Most patients who visit beauty clinics complain of heavy drooping 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 improper intake of Botox.
Before the operation, the doctor found out the causes of drooping eyelids, which allows you to eliminate it with the most effective method. The condition of the eyelid muscles should be taken into account. If they are weak, cantopex or cantoplasty surgery is performed to strengthen the muscle structures. It is usually performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
The operation removes excess skin and fat that comes from deep in the tissues. The technique gives immediate results, improves the contour of the eyelids, makes the face more open, while the face relaxes and refreshes.
If the soft tissues of the forehead are loose and drooping, in addition to lifting the eyelid, raising the eyebrows and forehead correction are shown.
How plastic surgery fixes lower eyelid problems
The most common complaints in this area of the face are bags under the eyes. The lower skin of the eyelid is extremely sensitive and thins with age. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, like crumpled thin paper through which fat comes out.
This condition is corrected with an elevator - lower blepharoplasty. Excess skin is removed during the operation along with the rash fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretched muscles.
In patients who have a small amount of extra skin, it is compressed (pressed), which makes the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
Age-related abrupt changes often require surgery on both eyelids to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid rejuvenation
In addition to surgery, there are more and more non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelid skin:
- Microns- A procedure in which the skin is cut with small needles. As a result, small holes remain in it, which the body tries to correct by producing collagen and elastin proteins.
- Chemical peelswith various natural compounds that rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles.
- Laser treatment, stimulates metabolic processes and causes muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatment, which tightens and softens the skin.
Operative and non-operative methods of eyelid correction should not be considered mutually exclusive. Both techniques can be used together, complement each other organically and give excellent results.
Correction of nasolacrimal grooves
There is a nasolacrimal groove at the junction of the lower eyelid and the cheek, which becomes more noticeable with age. The soft tissues of the face lose volume, and the force of gravity pulls them down. A dark, arched area forms under the eyelid, which makes the eyes look tired and aged.
In the process of improving the aesthetics of this area, the tear duct is filled in several ways:
- Filler-assisted fillers that replenish missing tissue volumes.
- with the addition of fat cells transferred from other areas of the body.
- The condition of this area is improved with the help of non-surgical procedures - micro needle, radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
Platelet-derived plasma (PRP) injections are also used. Plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate skin rejuvenation from the surface of the nasolacrimal duct.
Cosmetic specialist will help you choose a combined method consisting of several procedures that complement each other.
Peculiarities of eye rejuvenation
Plastic surgery on the upper and lower eyelids can provide immediate, long-lasting and noticeable results. But important nuances must be taken into account when conducting them. Many nerves and blood vessels pass through this zone and its tissues are very thin and delicate. Therefore, surgery can only be trusted by a physician with extensive experience who has experience in performing blepharoplasty.
Properly performed by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, the rejuvenation procedure gives excellent results that satisfy patients.
