Causes of ptosis of the upper eyelid. Eyelid Lift Basics

Cosmetologists and patients pay a lot of attention to the condition of the skin of the eyelids. And for good reason, since it is this part of the face that primarily speaks of the age of a person. Beauticians, on the other hand, pay a lot of attention to this area because it is quite difficult to work with the tissues of the upper eyelid.

There are many more factors that worsen the condition of the skin of the eyelids than effective procedures and treatments for this area. However, cosmetology is developing, and there are ways to deal with various skin changes. One of these methods is  hardware eyelid lifting.

• Peculiarities of eyelid lifting. Contraindications to procedures Stages and causes of ptosis of the upper eyelid Sagging of the upper eyelid (ptosis) completely changes the appearance of a person. The shape of the eyes changes, the look becomes gloomy and heavy. Ptosis of the upper eyelid narrows the lateral fields of vision, and, trying to see what the eye has seen before, he feels constant fatigue. 2 main muscles take part in the formation of the contour of the upper eyelid:  
the lateral part of the fronto-occipital muscle (the muscle that raises the eyebrow) 

and

 orbicular muscle of the eye.

When the reduction of the tone of these muscles, as well as edema in them, develops ptosis of the upper eyelid.

Swelling is more often the result of a malfunction of the kidneys. A change in muscle tone may be the result of excessive tension of the antagonist muscles against the background of impaired innervation, as well as after subcutaneous injection of substances that disrupt neuromuscular transmission. There is a relationship between weakened eye muscles and swelling. Increasing swelling gradually leads to the shutdown of the muscle from its active work. And against the background of the lack of muscle activity the lymph drainage worsens, which contributes to the appearance of even more swelling of the upper eyelid.

Against the background of a long-term edema, skin stretches and a hernia of retrobulbar fiber

is often formed, in which part of the fiber penetrates under the skin of the upper eyelid in places of atrophy of the fibers of the circular muscle of the eye.

Thus, ptosis of the upper eyelid is characterized by such changes in the tissues of the eye: skin stretching; hernia of retrobulbar tissue;

edema; decrease in muscle tone.

• Swelling and decreased tone are the causes of ptosis of the upper eyelid, and stretching of the skin and hernia – as a complication
• and a consequence.

surgical intervention

, as there are effective methods to relieve tissue edema, but it is very difficult to influence 

muscle tone 

If ptosis of the upper eyelid has developed due to weak work of the eye muscles, then neither fillers, nor 

peelings

, nor Botox are indicated.  Mesotherapy

 with iontophoresis brings an indirect effect. The only method that 

acts directly on muscle tone – electropulse therapy (EIT).

EIT is often combined with mesotherapy, massage, masks and other cosmetic methods. With eyelid lifting muscle tone can be restored in several procedures, puffiness is eliminated faster, in a couple of procedures. Hernia of the retrobulbar tissue

 does not change against the background of electrical impulse stimulation, however, the muscles train, strengthen, and 

the eye diaphragmtrains. With the help of eyelid lifting using the EIT method, it is possible to slightlyth restore stretched skin

.

Peculiarities of eyelid lifting. Contraindications to the procedure The area of ​​the eyelids is quite  sensitive to electrical stimulation due to the proximity of the periosteum, so electrical impulse therapy causes pain. To reduce them, it is necessary to use devices with neuro-like impulses, which are very similar to physiological ones. One of the methods of using electropulse therapy is hardware lifting.

Such eyelid lifting is carried out using 

movable electrodes on a contact gel. A feature of the procedure are visible muscle contractions. Conventional stationary electrodes are not suitable for such eyelid lifting due to their large area. Unlike stationary ones, labile electrodes make  contact with the skin point. This feature allows you to lift the eyelids, targeting the motor point of the muscle.
