Skin rejuvenation around the eyes

Eyes not only reflect the state of mind of a woman, but also clearly give out her age, especially when the skin around the eyes becomes flabby and covered with fine wrinkles. In addition, with age, the soft tissues in the area around the eyes shift down, forming a pronounced nasolacrimal groove. Today, aesthetic cosmetology has new methods for correcting the area around the eyes, one of the most interesting – lipofilling.

The method of lipofilling has a number of advantages over other methods of rejuvenation of the periorbital zone. Firstly, this is a minimally invasive operation, and therefore the patient can get by with a short rehabilitation period. Secondly, the risk of complications is minimized, and the survival rate and stability of the result are very high – after all, the patient's own adipose tissue is injected. In addition, lipofilling of the area around the eyes, the nasolacrimal trough is optimal in cases where it is planned to correct only this one area, without lifting the entire face.

The complexity of lipofilling of the nasolacrimal sulcus is due to the fact that the skin in this area is very thin, and if fat is injected incorrectly, it will contour and form small lumps. In addition, it is necessary to introduce fat cells into the area of ​​the nasolacrimal sulcus very carefully to avoid damaging the eye with a needle. The surgeon must clearly define the contours of the introduction of adipose tissue and use microcannulas, thanks to which it is convenient to introduce fat cells precisely into the corrected area. Fat should be injected very carefully, gradually, in a thin layer, avoiding its excessive accumulation and controlling the movement of the needle or cannula under the skin with your finger. The use of the fan technique is optimal, while the enriched adipose tissue is easily distributed to the designated places.
