What is a lacrimal groove?
Lacrimal groove refers to a concave groove that appears from the inner corner of the eye and is located near the alar of the lower eyelid. In severe cases, it can even extend to the cheeks.
The reason is related to many factors, including skin aging, sagging, sudden thinning, skin thickness and the strength of lacrimal ligament.
The skin around the eyes is delicate and thinner than other parts of the skin, so the junction of the skin around the eyes and the cheek skin is easy to form a lacrimal groove, but the time when the lacrimal groove appears varies according to the strength of the subcutaneous support.
How to remove lacrimal groove? With the current medical beauty technology, there are three main methods:
(1) hyaluronic acid filling
Inject an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid into the lacrimal groove to fill the depression, so that the lacrimal groove disappears and the skin is smooth. This method is generally suitable for people with mild lacrimal passage and good skin elasticity.
The injection process is simple and convenient. At the same time, hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizing ingredient found at present, which can moisturize and replenish water, increase moisture and elasticity, and delay the aging of eye skin.
(2) Fat filling
Fat fills the tear ducts. Firstly, appropriate adipocytes were extracted from the fat-rich parts of beauty seekers for purification, and then injected into the lacrimal groove to make them swell, thus removing the lacrimal groove.
Using self-fat as filling material is easy to obtain and rich in tissue sources, and basically no immune reaction and rejection will occur. For obese friends, you can kill two birds with one stone and lose weight and become beautiful.
(3) Orbital septum release surgery
Orbital septum release is to release the fat in the orbital septum first, and then pack and fix it on the separated suborbital periosteum to make the depression smooth. At the same time, the fascia of orbital septum was repaired and strengthened, and the flabby orbicularis oculi muscle was suspended from the periosteum of orbital bone to remove excess skin.
Usually suitable for lower eyelid and orbital fat protrusion, accompanied by mild to moderate lacrimal groove. For severely depressed lacrimal sulcus, the orbital septum fat may not be enough.
Remove the bags under the eyes and fill the lacrimal passage, killing two birds with one stone.
