Aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeries that improve the appearance of the eyes are among the most demanding. Last year alone, more than 200, 000 women and men underwent eyelid surgery (eyelid surgery) and the number of cosmetic resuscitation procedures can not even be counted.
What do you need to know about those who want to improve this part of the face, called the classic "mirror of the soul"?
Aesthetic problems in the eye area that require rejuvenation
- Heavy, tired look.
- The eyelids dropped.
- 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 upper 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 even by improper administration of Botox.
Before surgery, the doctor discovers the reasons for drooping 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, orthopexy or cantoplasty surgery is performed, which strengthens the muscle structures. It is usually performed together with eyelid surgery.
During the operation, the excess skin and fat, which protrude from the depths of the tissues, are removed. The technique gives immediate results, improving the contour of the eyelids, making the look more open, and the face - relaxed and refreshed.
If the soft tissues of the forehead are loose and sagging, it is advisable to raise the eyebrows and straighten the forehead in addition to lifting the eyelids.
How plastic surgery corrects 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. Wrinkles appear under the eyes, similar to crumpled tissue, through which fat protrudes.
This condition is corrected by a lift - lower eyelid surgery. During the operation, the excess skin is removed along with the protruding fat. If necessary, the doctor tightens the tense muscles.
In patients with a small amount of excess skin, it compresses (stings), which makes the contour of the lower eyelid smoother.
With severe age-related changes, it is often necessary to manipulate both eyelids to significantly rejuvenate this area.
Non-surgical methods of eyelid rejuvenation
In addition to surgery, there are an increasing number of non-surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance of eyelid skin:
- Microneedles- a process in which the skin is pierced with small needles. As a result, tiny holes remain, which the body tries to repair by producing collagen and elastin proteins.
- Chemical exfoliationwith various natural compounds that rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles.
- Laser treatments, stimulating metabolic processes and causing muscle contraction.
- Radiofrequency and ultrasound treatmentsthat tighten and smooth the skin.
Functional and non-functional eyelid correction methods should not be considered mutually exclusive. Both techniques can be used together, organically complement each other and give excellent results.
Correction of nasochrome grooves
At the junction of the lower eyelid and the cheek, there is a nasolacrimal groove, which becomes more noticeable with age. The soft tissues of the face lose volume and the force of gravity makes them stretch downwards. A dark, arched area forms under the eyelid, making the eyes look tired and old.
In the process of improving the aesthetics of this area, the tear duct fills in a number of ways:
- With the help of fillers - fillers that replenish lost tissue volumes.
- Adding fat cells that are transferred from other areas of the body.
- The condition of this area is being improved with the help of non-surgical procedures - microscopy, radiofrequency, ultrasound and laser methods.
A beautician will help you choose a combined method consisting of several complementary procedures.
Eye area rejuvenation features
Upper and lower eyelid plastic surgery can offer immediate, long-lasting and noticeable results. But when conducting them, an important nuance must be taken into account. Many nerves and blood vessels pass through this area and its tissues are very thin and sensitive. Therefore, the operation can be trusted only by a doctor with extensive experience, who has experience in performing eyelid surgery.
When properly performed by experienced plastic surgeons and beauticians, the rejuvenation process produces excellent results that satisfy patients.
