What should I do if I have tear troughs on my face?

Beautiful glasses can not only give people more confidence, but also leave a deep impression on people. Tear troughs are a common phenomenon. As people age, tear troughs will become more and more obvious. Tear troughs generally appear under the eyes. Once tear troughs appear, they are very obvious. Just like what everyone says, having a sad face every day is very ugly and affects personal image. What should I do if I have tear troughs on my face?

The tear trough refers to a groove that starts from the inner corner of the eye and appears on the lower eyelid near the nose. It is caused by the atrophy and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum. In some people, it can even extend to the cheek. This problem has been solved by Beijing Lido Plastic Surgery.

Tear troughs are not eye bags, but they make eye bags appear more obvious. Due to the contrast between the depression of the tear trough and the surrounding skin, the lower eyelid tissue looks a little bloated and protruding, which can easily be mistaken for eye bags. But in fact, it is just an illusion caused by the deepening of the tear trough. Once there are tear trough-shaped dark circles around the eyes, you will look tired and as if you haven't woken up yet.

As we age, fat moves downwards and collagen in the skin is lost. The tear trough under the eyes is prone to depression, which looks like a deep "groove". This is what we call tear trough lines, which are the marks left by time on our faces.

There are two main steps to facial massage to reduce tear troughs:

1. Apply a firming product first, then use your index finger to massage in a spiral motion from the corner of the eye to the middle of the ear, and do this 10 times.

2. Next, use your index finger to start from the top of the nose and massage in a spiral motion diagonally upwards to the temples. Then gently press the temples on both sides. Do this 10 times.

Causes of tear trough formation

1. The formation of tear grooves is related to aging

As people age, various skin problems will appear, some fine lines and wrinkles will gradually appear, and the same is true for tear troughs. Collagen is an important part of supporting the skin, but the older you get, the more collagen you lose, and the subcutaneous fat will shrink, so the tear troughs will become more and more obvious.

2. The formation of tear grooves is related to eye bags

The tear trough is located below the eye bags. Generally, if a person does not get a good rest for a long time and is in a tired state, the eye bags will be very prominent, and the tear trough will be more obvious. However, if a person has a good sleep for a period of time, the body is full of energy, and the eye bags are not so serious, then the tear trough will disappear a little.

3. The formation of tear grooves is related to skin sagging

If the skin loses its elasticity, it will become loose and tear grooves will appear. There are many reasons for sagging skin, aging is one of them. Lack of water, the use of inferior cosmetics, etc. may also cause the skin to become loose and sagging. Moreover, if the skin is loose and causes tear troughs to appear, if the skin is not repaired in time, the tear troughs will become more and more serious, making people look very old.

4. The formation of tear grooves is related to rapid weight loss

Fat is also one of the most important substances supporting the skin. In order to achieve the goal of losing weight in a short period of time, some people use some unhealthy weight loss methods, which makes people lose weight suddenly. This will lead to a sudden reduction in body fat, but the skin cannot adapt to the sudden loss of support, and it will lose elasticity and become loose, causing the tear trough to deepen.

5. The formation of tear grooves is related to the thickness of the skin

The skin around our eyes is more delicate and thinner than the skin on other parts of the body. Therefore, tear troughs are easily formed at the junction of the skin around the eyes and the skin on the cheeks. In fact, tear troughs are congenital and everyone has them. It’s just that the appearance of tear troughs varies depending on the strength of the subcutaneous support.

6. The formation of tear groove is related to the tear groove ligament

If the muscles or ligaments are strong, tear grooves will easily appear, otherwise tear grooves will not appear so easily. This also depends on the individual's physique.
