How to eliminate tear troughs?

Most people have tear troughs. For those who love beauty, tear troughs are very ugly, especially when they look like someone has just cried. If the tear troughs are more severe, the skin around the eyes will look particularly loose and old, and the sunken shadows will appear layer upon layer, making the person look very old. Sometimes it is difficult to cover them up even with makeup. How can you eliminate tear troughs? There are few ways to eliminate tear troughs.

How to eliminate tear troughs?

1. Ensure adequate sleep to remove tear grooves

The tear trough is located below the eye bags. The eye bags are convex, while the tear trough is concave, so the appearance of the tear trough is closely related to the eye bags. The worse the rest and the more tired the body is, the heavier the bags under the eyes will be. The heavier the bags under the eyes, the more obvious the tear troughs will be. Therefore, if you want to improve your tear troughs, you should pay more attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep every day.

2. Eat more foods that improve eyesight to remove tear troughs

Foods that are good for the eyes include carrots, wolfberries, pork liver, etc. Although they cannot remove tear troughs, they can play a very good role in repairing tear troughs. In addition, you can also eat more fruits and vegetables every day to supplement vitamins, which can also help delay aging and slow down the deepening of tear troughs.

3. Massage more to remove tear grooves

Although massage cannot completely remove tear troughs, it can improve them. Eye exercises or eye lifting massage can play a certain role in making the original tear trough shallower. If you persist in doing it every day, you can slow down the deepening of the tear trough.

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 your mouth to the middle of your 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.

Nowadays, the effect of using injection filling method to treat tear troughs is also very good, we might as well learn about it.

(1) Autologous fat implantation

1. Suitable people: those who suffer from atrophy and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum.

2. Treatment method: The principle of surgical treatment is to fill in the area with autologous fat. If the problem is entirely with the tear trough, autologous fat injection will be used to treat it.

Principle: If there are eye bags, the eye bags are removed first, and then an appropriate amount of eye bag fat is implanted. This approach is sufficient for mild and moderate eye bags, but it may not be enough for severely sunken tear troughs.

In terms of the survival rate of implanted fat, for mild and moderate conditions, one to two treatments are enough, but for more severe depressions, two to three treatments are required.

3. Therapeutic effect: Tighten loose skin and make the face flat and smooth.

4. Rest after surgery: 1-4 days, up to 7-14 days.

(2) Hyaluronic acid filling

Principle: Inject hyaluronic acid into the tear trough as a filler to make the skin bulge, smooth out sunken skin, and make the eyes look fuller and more radiant.

Hyaluronic acid has a variety of molecular weights to choose from. In order to achieve the ideal cosmetic effect, professional doctors will choose hyaluronic acid of different molecular sizes and different skin depths for injection.

2. Advantages: The advantage of injecting hyaluronic acid to fill tear troughs is that the injection time is short, generally only half an hour to complete, and the postoperative recovery is fast, there will be no side effects, and the effect is natural and beautiful.

Whether it is tear troughs, tear trough-type dark circles, or vascular dark circles, hyaluronic acid can be used to fill them. Some people also inject hyaluronic acid to make the apple muscles under the eye sockets look fuller.

(3) Baby face injection

Principle: Using the baby face needle to fill the tear trough is to fill the baby face needle into the dermis of the tear trough to stimulate the production of new collagen and tissue, thereby achieving a filling effect.

Advantages: The baby face needle is a liquid product, which is easy to push the needle and will not clog blood vessels and cause embolism. Therefore, it is much safer than hyaluronic acid. Push needles are also relatively light and are doctors’ favorite.

Note:

Injecting hyaluronic acid is a medical procedure. People seeking beauty should not inject themselves or let unqualified people help with the injection. To ensure safety and effectiveness, they must go to a regular hospital for treatment.

Here are some tips for tear trough injection:

1. Remove tear grooves based on the cause

Tear troughs are divided into youthful type, elderly type and eye bag type. Not all types of tear troughs can be solved by injectable fillers.

Young and old tear troughs can be improved by "filling" and injecting fillers. People with eye bag-type tear troughs need to undergo eye bag removal surgery first, and then see if the tear trough problem needs to be solved based on the situation.

Second, the tear trough of the elderly should be treated comprehensively

For patients over 40 years old, their tear troughs are obviously sunken and their skin is obviously loose. Simply filling the tear troughs often cannot completely solve the problem and is also difficult. At this time, comprehensive treatment is needed, combined with facial lifting injections.

3. Better deep than shallow, better less than more

It is recommended to inject deep into the tear trough, onto the periosteum.

Deep injections require fewer needle points and have a lower bruising rate. If the injection is not done close to the periosteum, it will easily be moved by the orbital septum fat. If the orbital septum fat is injected, it will swell violently and cause pseudo-eye bags. If an overdose is injected, redness and swelling may occur. If you must inject superficially, only inject a small amount and massage evenly.

4. Remember not to inject into the following areas

1. Never touch the opening of the tear duct, as there are large blood vessels there. If bruises or hematomas occur, they will last for half a year, regardless of whether the injection is deep or shallow.

2. Avoid injecting into the orbit and orbicularis oculi muscle, because the rotation of the eyeball will drive the movement of the fat at the bottom of the orbital septum, which can easily form pseudo-eye bags.

5. Push slowly and shape while pushing

We must be slow when injecting, and we need to push the medicine and shape it at the same time. Because the skin at the tear trough is thinner, this allows the filler to be evenly spread in the tear trough depression to achieve the best effect.

6. Preoperative ice pack and postoperative compression are very important

The tear trough is rich in blood vessels and bruising is very likely to occur. Applying ice before surgery can shrink the capillaries and prevent bleeding. At the same time, you should press immediately after the injection, even if there is no bleeding, to prevent bruising a few days after the injection.
