Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eyes are among the most sought after. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 women and men underwent eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and the number of aesthetic procedures for rejuvenation cannot even be counted.
What do you need to know for those who want to enhance this part of the face, called the classic “soul mirror”?
Aesthetic problems around the eyes that require rejuvenation
- Heavy, tired look.
- Eyes down.
- Bags or puffiness under the eyes.
- Excessive, wrinkled skin.
Most of these problems can be successfully corrected by lifting the upper or lower eyelid. 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, droopy upper eyelids, which sometimes form a kind of “hood”. This condition is called ptosis. Eyelid lowering can be congenital or caused by injuries, diseases of the nervous system, and even improper application of Botox.
Before surgery, the doctor discovers the reasons for loose eyelids, which allows you to eliminate it in the most effective way. The condition of the eyelid muscles must be taken into account. If they are weak, cantopexy or cantoplasty surgery is performed, which strengthens the muscle structures. It is usually performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
During surgery, excess skin and fat protruding from the depths of the tissue is removed. The technique gives instant results, improving the contour of the eyelids, making the look more open and the face rested and refreshed.
If the soft tissues of the forehead are relaxed and relaxed, in addition to lifting the eyelids, eyebrow lifting and forehead correction are also shown.
How plastic surgery solves lower eyelid problems
The most common problems in this area of the face are bags under the eyes. The skin of the lower eyelids is extremely sensitive and becomes thinner with age. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, similar to crumpled thin paper through which grease protrudes.
This condition is corrected by elevator - lower blepharoplasty. During surgery, excess skin is removed along with the bulging fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the stretched muscles.
In patients with a small amount of excess skin, it is compressed, which makes the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
With pronounced age changes, it is often necessary to operate on both eyelids to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid rejuvenation
In addition to surgery, there are a growing number of non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of eyelid skin:
- Microneedles- a procedure during which the skin is pierced with small needles. As a result, tiny holes remain on it that the body tries to fix by creating collagen and elastin proteins.
- Chemical peelingwith various natural compounds that rejuvenates the skin and removes wrinkles.
- Laser treatments, stimulating metabolic processes and causing muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatmentsthat tighten and smooth the skin.
Operational and non-operative eyelid correction methods 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 forces them to stretch downward. A dark rounded area forms under the eyelid, making the eyes look tired and aged.
In the process of improving the aesthetics of this zone, the tear duct is filled in several ways:
- With the help of fillers - fillers that make up for lost tissue.
- By adding fat cells transferred from other parts of the body.
- The condition of this area is improved with the help of non-surgical procedures - microneedles, radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
The beautician will help you choose a combined method that consists of several procedures that complement each other.
Rejuvenating characteristics of the eye area
Upper and lower eyelid plastic surgery can provide instant, long-lasting and noticeable results. But when performing them, an important nuance must be taken into account. A lot of nerves and blood vessels pass through this zone, and her tissues are very thin and tender. Therefore, surgery can only be trusted by a physician with extensive experience who has experience in performing blepharoplasty.
When experienced plastic surgeons and cosmetologists perform the rejuvenation procedure correctly, it gives excellent results that satisfy patients.
