Correction with fillers of the orbital zone is effective not only for skin aging

Hyaluronic acid has been used as an implant capable of creating volume for more than a decade. Usually, a filler of one or another density containing hyaluronic acid is implanted subcutaneously or intradermally in the region of the eyelids or eye orbit. Such correction with fillers allows not only to solve a number of aesthetic problems, but also to help patients with anophthalmos, when there is eyelid retraction or retraction of the prosthesis. The essence of correction with fillers during the introduction of a hyaluronic implant is to fill the deficit of soft tissues and correct their defects in the orbital and periorbital region.

Correction of age-related changes in the periorbital zone with fillers

Most often, patients who want to get rid of the signs of aging apply for the correction of fillers in the area around the eyes. They ask to correct the lacrimal sulcus, as well as the zygomatic-buccal and eyelid-orbital sulci. In this case, the hyaluronic acid filler is injected in two doses – first below the fascia, and then above the fascia. The density of the filler is selected depending on the thickness of the skin and its turgor.

The needle is guided parallel to the dermal-periosteal ligament. The drug is injected into the subdermal space under the – we control the change in the relief and try not to inject the drug excessively, then the second puncture injects the drug above the ligament – control to  the upper part of the sulcus did not appear above the line of attachment of the ligament.

For the best relief filler correction, several injections can be given, each of which will fill approximately one square centimeter of the area under the skin.

After injection, the drug is distributed evenly under the skin with fingers, the injection site is treated with an antiseptic. Usually, after the procedure, there is a slight swelling, which does not distort the overall perception of the changed relief of the area around the eyes.

Correction of eyelid deformities with fillers after plastic surgery

Deformation of the relief in the region of the orbit of the eye can be explained by traumatic injuries or disproportion of soft tissues resulting from unsuccessful plastic surgery. Such an imbalance can occur if too much excess skin is removed compared to the correction of the orbicularis oculi muscle. In this case, the surface may be mined at the assembly site at the level of the muscle layer, due to which the adjacent furrow deepens in contrast.

In this case, the filler correction consists of filling the furrow, which will help to level the surface of the relief. The needle is injected at the lateral edge of the sulcus and the drug is injected below and along the dermal-periosteal ligament. During the injection, we visually control how the relief is leveled, after the injection we distribute the drug evenly over all tissues with our fingers.

Correction of cicatricial deformities in the area around the eyes with fillers

Atrophic scars in the area around the eyes can occur due to superficial trauma, boils, sclerotherapy. If the atrophic process has affected the dermis, then its thickness begins to decrease in places, which looks like separate retracted spots and disrupts the skin relief. In this case, a thin needle and a loose filler are selected for correction, which is injected to a minimum depth by multiple local injections.  The drug should be distributed intradermally and subdermally, the treatment area coincides with the size of the atrophic scar. After the introduction of the drug, we carry out a light massage and antiseptic treatment.

The criterion for the result of correcting the area around the eyes with fillers is the ease of insertion of the implant: if the drug is injected effortlessly onto the syringe plunger and is freely distributed in the tissues, then complete alignment of the relief can be expected.

Depending on the density of the implanted filler, the volume of the enlarged tissue is retained for 3 to 6 months. A particularly good and lasting effect is observed when hyaluronic implants are inserted along the lines of natural furrows in the area around the eyes, then the best leveling of the relief is observed.
