How to judge puffy eyes?

The skin around the eyes is relatively thin, and is particularly prone to skin problems. For example, many young people have wrinkles around their eyes, as well as dark circles, bags under the eyes, etc. These skin problems will seriously affect a person's appearance, so they often cause headaches. Some people also have puffy eyes, which means that the eye area is swollen. The following is a method to determine puffy eyes.

How to judge swollen eyes:

In the anatomy of the eye, there is a tissue called the orbital septum, which is a very thin tissue that connects the tarsal plate and the orbital rim. Its function is to separate the eyelid and the orbit. There are three septa in the orbit of the upper eyelid. The middle and inner septa are filled with fat, and the outer septa contain the eye glands.

Due to aging, the orbital septum becomes loose, the orbital fat protrudes or the lacrimal gland droops, the upper eyelid appears bloated and thick, and in severe cases, the outer eye area droops like an enlarged eaves, making the eyes look like triangular eyes and the palpebral fissure becomes smaller.

Whether it is congenital "water bubble eyes" or acquired orbital septum relaxation, it can be corrected through surgery and can be performed at the same time as double eyelid surgery. The fat globules protruding from the orbital septum are removed, and the drooping lacrimal glands are repositioned and fixed. In this way, the appearance of the eyes can be ideally improved and regain their youthful radiance.

Diseases causing swollen eyelids:

(1) Allergic reactions caused by food, snails, pollen, etc. Sometimes, even allergic skin rashes in other parts of the face can affect the eyelids. If the allergic symptoms are not treated well, the temporary swelling caused by it may become permanent, because each eyelid swelling caused by an allergic reaction will aggravate the damage to the tissue fibers. The more swelling and allergic symptoms there are, the more swollen or loose the eyelids will become.

(2) People with sensitive skin may develop eyelid dermatitis due to skin rashes irritating the eyelids. Common eyelid allergies may also be caused by touching something that causes allergies and then touching the eyelids, such as formaldehyde;

(3) Inflammation of the sebaceous glands on the eyelids and eyelashes can also cause eye swelling. This infection can cause eyelashes to fall out. If you use cosmetics for a long time and fail to completely remove the residue of eye makeup every time, or if you are not careful when removing eye makeup, it will block the sebaceous gland ducts on the eyelids and cause blepharitis.
