Warm reminder from Tongquetai experts: Eye bags represent the degree of aging, usually referring to sagging and bloated lower eyelid skin caused by loosening of the skin of the lower eyelids, accumulation of fat in the orbital septum and relaxation and hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Because the structure of the eye frame is almost "independent", and the skin is very thin and lacks support, it is often the first victim of aging. It looks bulging, wrinkled, and has a proper name called aging around the eyes.

The formation of bags under the eyes may have the following three reasons. Only by distinguishing them clearly can we prescribe the right medicine!!

1. Degenerative changes of the orbital septum fascia: refers to the weakening or fundamental deterioration of the septum between the eyes. It will fall out, causing fat to prolapse forward, just like a dam that cannot stop water. The fat in the lower eye bags is divided into three areas. Basically, if you know more about the area before the operation, you can use the area that is more suitable, because too much fat may be removed. In the future Causes sunken areas, but makes the appearance of aging appear even more;

2. Loose cheek tissue: the bulge of the eye frame extends from the cheekbones, and usually two wrinkles or dents can be seen, one is the tear trough line, If it gets more severe, another mid-face wrinkle will appear. The two lines meet in the center of the face. This is usually caused by sagging cheek tissue. It often needs to be improved with a mid-face facelift. Some have multiple lines, and some The shape looks like a teardrop;

3. The skin is too loose or the eyelid muscle is too droopy (Oriental people call it "lying silkworm"), so you only need to cut off the excess skin or muscle. That’s it.

Based on the above three causes of eye bags, there are two main methods of blepharoplasty currently used clinically: internal method to remove eye bags and external method to remove eye bags, which are operated using microscope technology to ensure The surgery is precise and the scars after surgery are less noticeable.

Indications for microscopic eye bag removal surgery:

The internal approach is suitable for people with simple orbital fat protrusion and tight skin and muscles; the external approach is suitable for skin, muscles, and fat among others. Those with more than two symptoms or those with simple skin laxity.

Microscopic eye bag removal surgery process:

Under local anesthesia, the internal method is completed in 30 minutes; the external method is completed in 1 hour.

Recovery takes time:

It takes 2 days for the internal method to completely return to normal. The sutures are removed after 5 days using the external method, and there will be no trace after 1-2 months.
