The eyes and eyelids are among the indispensable elements of beauty and aesthetics. This is especially important because this is the area where the first signs of aging are observed.
Once a person enters their thirties, sagging and puffiness may occur in the upper eyelid area. At the same age, bags may also begin to form under the lower eyelids. These bags occur due to deformation of the under-eye fat tissue. All of this causes the eyelids to lengthen and, depending on the person’s facial expressions, leads to the formation of wrinkles known as crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.
The sagging we mentioned in the upper eyelids will prevent women from applying eyeliner to this area. At the same age, bruising and hollowing may also develop under the eyes. In addition, a line called the tear trough forms in this area, separating the under-eye bags from the cheek. This line is quite deep. The puffiness that forms on the upper eyelids can even make it difficult to open the eyes. To eliminate the effects of this puffiness, the person will constantly rely on their eyebrows for help. Constantly raising the eyebrows, in turn, leads to headaches and thickening of the forehead lines. As the years pass, these conditions become even more pronounced, causing the person to have an unhealthy, tired, and aged appearance.
Aesthetic surgeries performed on the eyelids aim to eliminate crow’s feet, bruising, bags, puffiness, and sagging. This allows the person to have a more dynamic and youthful appearance. In aesthetic surgeries performed around the eyes, the lower eyelid is evaluated together with the cheek, while the upper eyelid is evaluated together with the forehead and eyebrows. Excess skin on the upper eyelids is removed to eliminate sagging and puffiness. A brow lift is performed if necessary. If the eyelid is drooping, the muscles that help lift the eyelid are shortened.
If there is hollowing in the eyes, a filling procedure is performed using fat. The disrupted relationship between the cheek and eyelid in the lower eyelid is corrected. It is possible to remove the fat gathered in this area and transfer it to the cheek. If necessary, fat injections are performed around the eyes and on the cheek. These procedures can be performed on their own, or they can be considered as part of a facial rejuvenation surgery.
Who Is Eyelid Aesthetics Performed On?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid aesthetics, is generally an operation needed after the age of 35. However, if the person structurally has excess tissue in the upper eyelid or it is drooping, or if there is noticeable bagging in the lower eyelids, the surgery can be performed at an earlier age.
Eyelid aesthetics is performed by aesthetic and plastic surgery specialists. If this procedure is not performed by the specialists we mentioned, it can bring various problems. These problems mostly include;
- Dry eyes
- Distortion of eye shape
- Inability to close the eyes
- Shape irregularities in the lower eyelids
Non-Surgical Eyelid Aesthetics Procedures
Under-Eye Light Filler:
The bags that form in the lower eyelids, as well as the hollowing and grooves between the cheeks and under-eye area, are successfully eliminated with under-eye light filler. The light filler application will show its effect thanks to being spread evenly across the area. Pure hyaluronic acid, found in body tissues, is used as the filling material. This substance has many successful results today. Choosing this material also significantly reduces under-eye bruising. Results can be seen immediately after the procedure. Bruising and swelling most often do not occur at all. The successful results obtained from the procedure last for approximately 1 year.
Jet Plasma:
Also known as eyelid aesthetics with plasma energy, Plexr aesthetics, plasma energy, and non-surgical eyelid aesthetics, this procedure has quite a high performance. The jet plasma device is ergonomic and wireless. The use of plasma, defined as the fourth state of matter, enables tissue renewal. Since the device only affects the area where it is applied, it absolutely does not damage the surrounding tissues. Through this procedure, bags under the lower eyelids are eliminated, wrinkles known as crow’s feet can be reduced, the upper eyelid can be lifted, and the eyelids can be tightened.
The procedure, which also helps treat the fat glands located in the eyelids, takes between 5 and 20 minutes. It is painless when performed under local anesthesia. The person can immediately resume their daily activities after the procedure. The effect of the procedure lasts about 2 to 3 years.
Botox:
Botox responds very well in treating wrinkles and lines between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and on the forehead. When Botox is applied to the forehead area, the eyelids and eyebrows are also evaluated. Botox is sometimes used to achieve more successful results in lifting the eyebrows. The frown lines between the eyebrows and at the bridge of the nose, which give the person an aged appearance and a harsh expression, as well as the lion lines, are also eliminated with Botox. Among the lines eliminated with Botox are also the bunny lines between the cheek and the bridge of the nose, and crow’s feet around the eyes. The results obtained after Botox last about 4 to 6 months.
