Eye characteristics of the elderly
Old people's eyes are short of water, and the activity of elastic fibers is also reduced, which is manifested by the increase of eye wrinkles, the disappearance of the original double eyelids or the appearance of multiple eyelids. The upper eyelid is characterized by drooping skin, drooping eyelids and swollen eyes, while the puffy bags under the eyelid accumulate in the folds of cheekbones, which increases the skin tension and loses elasticity. Loose skin makes the lower eyelid arc-shaped, the eyelid edge turns inward and trichiasis, and it is difficult to lift the eyelid in severe cases.
Eye plastic surgery for the elderly
Eye plastic surgery for the elderly should not only ensure the surgical effect, but also avoid postoperative complications, so this operation is very complicated. Old people recover slowly after surgery and are prone to edema, so they need to remove the aging and flabby skin, otherwise they are prone to bubble eyes.
When removing the orbicularis oculi muscle, the excess fat, orbicularis oculi muscle and skin must not be completely removed, which will easily lead to ectropion of the lower eyelid after operation. In addition, crow's feet in the corner of the eye can only be removed by minor rhytidectomy, and eye plastic surgery cannot be removed.
