Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eyes are one of the most sought after. 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 face, which is called the classic "mirror of the soul"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area that require rejuvenation
- A heavy, tired look.
- Fallen eyelids.
- Bags or puffiness under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be successfully solved by lifting the upper or lower eyelids. Plastic surgery aims to improve three main components of eyelid tissue: skin, muscle and fat. The result is beautiful eyes and a youthful look.
Rejuvenation of the upper eyelid
Most patients who visit beauty clinics complain that the upper eyelids are heavy, drooping, and sometimes form a kind of "head". This condition is called ptosis. Loss of eyelids can occur as a result of birth or injuries, diseases of the nervous system, and even improper administration of Botox.
Before the operation, the doctor learns the causes of drooping eyelids, which allows you to eliminate it in the most effective way. The condition of the eyelid muscles should be taken into account. If they are weak, cantopexy or cantoplasty is performed, which strengthens muscle structures. It is usually performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
During the operation, excess skin and fat are removed from the depths of the tissues. The technique gives immediate results, improves the contour of the eyelids, makes the appearance clearer and relaxes and refreshes the face.
If the soft tissues of the forehead are loose and sagging, in addition to lifting the eyelid, eyebrow lifting and forehead straightening are indicated.
How plastic surgery solves the problem of lower eyelids
The most common complaints in this part of the face are bags under the eyes. The skin of the lower eyelid is extremely sensitive and becomes thinner with age. Wrinkles form under the eyes, like thin paper, and oil comes out.
This condition is corrected by lifting - low blepharoplasty. During the operation, the excess skin is removed along with the protruding oil. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretching muscles.
In patients with a small amount of excess skin, it is compressed, which makes the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
With obvious age-related changes, surgery is needed on both eyelids to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid rejuvenation
Along with surgery, the number of non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of eyelid skin is also increasing:
- Microneedlesis a procedure in which the skin is pierced with small needles. As a result, the body is left with small holes that it tries to repair by producing collagen and elastin proteins.
- Chemical peelingWith various natural compounds that rejuvenate the skin and eliminate wrinkles.
- Laser treatmentsstimulate metabolic processes and cause muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatments that tighten and smooth the skin.
Surgical and non-surgical methods of eyelid correction should not be considered mutually exclusive. Both techniques can be used together, organically complement each other and give excellent results.
Straightening of nasolacrimal grooves
At the junction of the lower eyelid and the cheek, there is a more noticeable nasolacrimal groove with age. The soft tissues of the face lose volume and the force of gravity stretches them downwards. A dark, arched area appears under the eyelid, making the eyes look tired and old.
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 lost tissue volumes.
- By adding fat cells transferred from other parts of the body.
- The condition of this area is improved by non-surgical procedures - micronedles, radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
Platelet-derived plasma (PRP) injections are also used. Plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate the rejuvenation of the skin on the nasolacrimal sulcus.
A cosmetologist will help you choose a combined method consisting of several complementary procedures.
Rejuvenation features of the eye area
Plastic surgery of the upper and lower eyelids can give immediate, long-lasting and noticeable results. However, an important nuance must be taken into account when conducting them. Numerous nerves and blood vessels pass through this area, and the tissues are very thin and delicate. Therefore, the operation can be trusted only by a doctor with extensive experience in blepharoplasty.
Properly performed by experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists, the rejuvenation procedure gives excellent results that satisfy patients.
