Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eyes are among the most in demand. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 women and men underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and the number of aesthetics can even be counted on rejuvenation procedures.
What do you need to know for those looking to improve this part of the face, known as the classic "mirror of the soul"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area that require renewal
- Heavy, tired eye.
- Drowned eyes. Bags or puffiness under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be successfully corrected with upper or lower eyelid lift surgery. Plastic surgery is aimed at improving the three main parts of eyelid tissue: skin, muscle and fat. The result is beautiful eyes and a youthful look.
Upper eyelid refresh
Most patients who visit beauty clinics complain of heavy drooping upper eyelids, sometimes being a kind of "hood". This condition is called ptosis. Drooping of the eyelids can be congenital or cause injuries, diseases of the nervous system, and even improper administration of Botox.
Before the operation, the doctor finds out the causes of the back of the eyelids, which allows you to eliminate it in the most effective way. The muscular condition of the eyelid must be taken into account. If they are weak, canthopexy surgery or cantoplasty is performed, which strengthens muscle structures. It is usually performed in combination with blepharoplasty.
During the operation, too much skin and fat, which goes out of the depths of the tissues, is removed. The technique gives immediate results, by improving the contour of the eyelids, making the look more open, and relaxing and rejuvenating the face.
If soft tissues of the forehead are loose and sagging, eyelash lift and forehead correction are indicated along with eyelid lift.
How plastic surgery fixes lower eyelid problems
The most common complaints in this area of the face are bags under the eyes. The skin of the lower eyelid is extremely sensitive and becomes thinner with age. Dances appear under the eyes, like crumpled thin paper, through which fat passes out.
This condition is corrected with a lift - lower blepharoplasty. During the operation, too much skin is removed along with the protruding fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretched muscles.
In patients with a small amount of extra skin, it is compressed (pinched), making the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
With significant age-related changes, it is often necessary to work on both ivy in order to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid renewal In addition to surgery, there are an increasing number of non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the skin of the eyelid:- Microneedles- a procedure in which the skinpierced with small needles. As a result, tiny holes remain on it, which the body tries to repair by producing collagen and elastin proteins.
- Chemical peelingwith various natural compounds that rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles.
- Laser treatments, stimulate metabolic processes and cause muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatmentsthat tighten and soften the skin.
Operational and non-operational methods for eyelid correction should not be considered mutually exclusive. Both techniques can be used together, complementing each other organically and giving excellent results.
Correction of nasolacrimal grooves
At the junction of the eye and the lower cheek, there is a nasolacrimal groove, which becomes more prominent with age. Human soft tissues lose volume, and are stretched down by a force of gravity. Creates a dark undulating area under the eyelid, leaving the eyes tired and old.
In the process of enhancing the aesthetics of this zone, the tear duct is filled in several ways:
- With the help of fillers - fillers that replenish lost tissue volumes.
- By adding fat cells that are transferred from other parts of the body. The condition of this area is improved with the help of non-surgical procedures - microwaves, radio frequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
Patient-derived plasma (PRP) injections are also used. Plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate skin renewal above the nasolacrimal sulcus.
A beautician will help you choose a combined method in which several procedures complement each other.
Features for eye area rejuvenation
Upper and lower eyelid plastic surgery can provide immediate, long-term and significant results. But in directing them, an important nuance must be taken into account. Many nerves and blood vessels enter this zone, and its tissues are very thin and smooth. Therefore, the operation can only be trusted by a physician with extensive experience, who is experienced in performing blepharoplasty.
Properly experienced by plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, the rejuvenation procedure creates excellent results that satisfy patients.
