A little trick to remove tear grooves?

Usually, people only focus on the bags under the eyes and ignore the existence of tear troughs. In fact, tear troughs and bags under the eyes are brothers. Therefore, when treating the lower eyelids, people only focus on the protruding bags under the eyes. The sunken tear troughs are often easily overlooked. Many people feel that the depression is too heavy or the bags under the eyes are not removed cleanly after the operation. In fact, the real reason has not been completely solved.

What is a tear trough?

The tear trough refers to a groove that starts from the inner corner of the eye and appears on the nose side of the lower eyelid. It is caused by the atrophy and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum.

Some people may even have it extend to the cheeks. Due to the contrast between the depression of the tear trough and the surrounding skin, the lower eyelid tissue looks a little bloated and bulging, which can easily be mistaken for eye bags, but in fact it is just an illusion caused by the deepening of the tear trough.

How are tear troughs formed?

Tear troughs are generally congenital, and people with thinner eye skin often have more obvious tear troughs than the average person.

However, tear troughs are usually not very obvious when you are young. This is because young people have more subcutaneous fat and tighter skin, so there is only a vague outline.

However, as we age, subcutaneous fat gradually shrinks, the skin becomes thinner and sags due to reduced elasticity, and the tear trough on the inside of the lower eyelid becomes obvious, and "eye bags" appear.

Can tear troughs be eliminated?

Through modern plastic surgery, the following two methods can be used to eliminate tear grooves: autologous fat filling and hyaluronic acid injection

1: Autologous fat filling

1. Suitable for people:

Suitable for those who need facial filling, body shaping and body shaping

2. Customized surgical plan:

The standard approach is to inject autologous fat if the problem is purely tear troughs. If there are eye bags present, the eye bags are removed first, and then an appropriate amount of fat from the eye bags is implanted. This approach is sufficient for mild to moderate eye bags, but may not be sufficient for severely sunken tear troughs.

3. Regular medical institutions and experienced doctors are the key:

Although the principle is simple, filling it beautifully and smoothly requires the operator to have delicate techniques and rich experience. 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, 2 to 3 treatments are required.

4. Effect:

Partially permanent

5. Rest after surgery:

1-4 days, up to 7-14 days

In addition, not only eye bags can aggravate the feeling of dark circles, but tear troughs can also deepen dark circles, making people look several years older, more serious and less energetic. After surgical treatment, dark circles will also improve.

2: Hyaluronic acid filling

1. Preoperative preparation:

Mark the injection site at the tear trough, take photos, and disinfect

2. Local anesthesia:

Then inject 2% lidocaine plus 0.03-0.05 ml of epinephrine intradermally at the marked position, and perform local anesthesia with slight finger pressure.

3. Hyaluronic acid filling:

After anesthesia, perform a backward injection into the dermis, slowly and orderly injecting small drops of hyaluronic acid, like a string of water beads; withdraw the injection needle, apply uniform finger pressure to evenly spread the injection; perform the same operation at the remaining anesthesia points until the nasocheum groove and the suborbital area are completely treated

4. Postoperative care:

Apply mild cold compresses immediately after the injection, and instruct the patient to avoid activity and high temperatures for 48 hours.

5. Advantages of hyaluronic acid filling tear grooves:

Safety: Hyaluronic acid is widely present in the human body and can be highly integrated with the human body.

Simple: Fast and effective: Micro-facelift does not require surgery, only intradermal injections are required, avoiding surgical risks.

Effective: Using minimally invasive plastic surgery local injection method, the effect can be seen immediately.

Painless: Micro-plastic surgery uses injection method, which has very small wounds and only causes slight local swelling and pain. It is not very painful and is easily accepted by customers.

Hydration: The injection process is easy and convenient. At the same time, hyaluronic acid is the strongest moisturizing ingredient discovered so far, which can moisturize and hydrate.
