Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eye are most in demand. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 men and women underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and aesthetic rejuvenation procedures.
What do you need to know for those who want to improve this part of the page called the classic "mirror of the soul"?
Aesthetic problems around the eyes that require rejuvenation
- Heavy, tired.
- Eyelids drooped.
- Bags or tumors under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be corrected with upper or lower eyelid surgery. Plastic surgery aims to improve three main components of eye tissue: skin, muscle and fat. The result is beautiful eyes and a youthful look.
Rejuvenation of the upper eyelid
Most patients who go to beauty clinics complain that their upper eyelids droop and sometimes a "hood" appears. This condition is called ptosis. Eye drops can be caused by congenital or traumatic events, diseases of the nervous system, or even the misuse of Botox.
Before the operation, the doctor will determine the causes of drooping eyelids, which will allow you to effectively eliminate it. The condition of the eyelid muscles should be taken into account. If they are weak, surgery for cantopexy or cantoplasty will strengthen the muscle structures. It is usually done in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
Excess skin and fat are removed during the operation, which protrudes deep into the tissues. The technique gives immediate results, improves the contours of the eyes, clarifies the appearance, relaxes and refreshes the face.
In addition to lifting the eyelids, if the soft tissues on the forehead are loose and sagging, it is recommended to raise the eyebrows and correct the forehead.
How Plastic Surgery Solves Lower Eyelid Problems
The most common complaints in this area of the face are bags under the eyes. The skin on the lower eyelid is very sensitive and becomes thinner with age. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, resembling thin paper, through which oil comes out.
This condition is corrected by elevator-lower blepharoplasty. Excess skin is removed along with the oil that comes out during the operation. If necessary, the doctor will tighten the stretched muscles.
In patients with excess skin, it compresses (pinches) and smooths the contour of the lower eyelid.
With age-related changes, both eyelids need surgery to rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical eyelid rejuvenation techniques
In addition to surgery, non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the skin of the eyelids are increasing:
- Microneedlesis a procedure in which the skin is injected with small needles. As a result, small pores remain in the body that produce collagen and elastin proteins and try to repair them.
- Dry CleansingWith various natural ingredients, it rejuvenates the skin and removes wrinkles.
- Laser treatmentstimulates metabolic processes and causes muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound therapytightens and smoothes the skin.
Eyelid repair methods should not overlap. The two methods can be used together, complementing each other organically and giving the best results.
Repair of nasolacrimal ducts
There is a nasolacrimal cavity at the junction of the lower eyelid and the jaw, which is observed with age. The soft tissues of the face lose their volume and the force of gravity stretches them down. A tired, aging look of the eyes creates a dark, back-to-back area under the eyelids.
In the process of improving the aesthetics of this area, the tear duct is filled in several ways:
- With the help of fillers - fillers that replenish the lost volume of tissue.
- by adding fat cells transferred from other parts of the body.
- The condition of this area is improved through non-surgical procedures - microscopy, radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
Plasma-derived plasma (PRP) injections are also used. Plasma is rich in growth factors, which rejuvenate the skin covered by nasolacrimal sulcus.
A cosmetologist can help you choose a combination of several procedures that complement each other.
Eye Rejuvenation Features
Plastic surgery of the upper and lower eyelids gives immediate, long-lasting and noticeable results. However, an important nuance must be taken into account when conducting them. Many nerves and blood vessels pass through this area, and its tissues are very thin and delicate. Therefore, only a doctor with extensive experience in performing blepharoplasty can trust the operation.
Properly performed by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, the rejuvenation procedure gives excellent results that satisfy patients.
