Our human body ages year by year after adulthood, especially after the median age of 26, the collagen of human skin begins to lose and begins to age gradually.
Because the skin around the eyes is the thinnest of the skins all over the body, most people's aging begins with the onion eyes, and any changes around the eyes are the most easily detected signs of aging. In addition to the fine lines in the eyes that can betray youthfulness, there is also a very obvious aging feature is the tear trough.
<h1>What are tear troughs? </h1>
The tear trough is a groove that begins to appear at the inner corner of the eye on the nasal side of the lower eyelid, and the tear troughs on both sides form a stroke of eight, the different muscle junctions around the eyes, the skin tightness of the lower eyelids and cheeks is different, the strength of the muscle ligaments is strong, which may lead to the production of tear grooves, and there is also a kind of soft tissue atrophy and tissue sagging at the lower orbital edge of the orbit due to age. Some people can even extend to the cheeks, which we call the cheek groove (commonly known as the Indian pattern).
Many people think that tear troughs will appear when they are old, in fact, some people have tear troughs very young, and people with thinner eye skin will often be more obvious than the average person. It is only because young people are more abundant in subcutaneous fat and the skin is more tight, so tear communication is often not obvious when they are young, only a faint outline, and emaciated people are often prone to prematurely appear more obvious tear troughs.
<h1>Classification solution for tear troughs</h1>
Depending on the degree of soft tissue atrophy at the lower edge of the orbital diaphragm, the tear trough can be divided into the following three types, with different treatments for different types.
1, young tear troughs are mainly due to the natural toughness of ligaments, resulting in skin being pulled to form a depression, most of which have existed around the age of 30, and injecting hyaluronic acid filling is a good solution. For people who are not very strong in the tear trough ligament, and have no eye bags, but have sunken skin, only need to do a small amount of hyaluronic acid or collagen injections. Injecting collagen or hyaluronic acid into the tear trough area can be fused with hyaluronic acid and collagen in the original skin of the tear trough area, and the tear trough will be flattened.
2, eye bag type tear trough For eye bag type tear trough, in the past, everyone only focused on the eye bag and ignored the existence of the tear trough, so the treatment of the entire lower eyelid only focused on the removal of the protruding eye bag and did not deal with the tear trough, so many beauty seekers often complained about postoperative depression after surgery or felt that the eye bag was not removed clean, in fact, the real reason was that the tear trough was not treated. While treating eye bags, consider filling the tear troughs. The purpose of improving tear troughs is achieved by hyaluronic acid injection, collagen injection or free fat grafting.
Secondly, the fat that bulges out of the orbital septum to form eye bags can be transferred to the tear trough area through the release of orbital septal fat, which can both smooth the eye bags and fill the tear troughs. This method is suitable for the lower eyelid fat extrusion eye bags, accompanied by mild and moderate tear troughs, for severely depressed tear glitters, the amount of orbital septal fat may not be sufficient.
3. Elderly tear troughs
Elderly tear communication is often not just a tear trough depression obvious problem, according to the daily skin maintenance, can appear in the 40-50s around the age of 40,50 years old, but also accompanied by severe eye bags, skin laxity, fat loss and other situations, often only by removing eye bags and filling tear troughs and other ways can not completely solve the problem, the difficulty is also larger, at this time need to carry out comprehensive treatment, need to combine the face lifting project.
<h1>Hyaluronic acid filled tear trough injection technique</h1>
Filling the tear trough seems simple, just a shot as simple as it is, but in fact, it requires extremely high injection skills and rich experience, whether it is deep filling or shallow modification, there are many exquisite. Injection depth, injection volume, needle angle, etc., while also choosing the right product. Nowadays, various non-medical personnel and nursing personnel who have no clinical medical anatomy experience and injection experience are also injecting tear troughs for beauty seekers, and the risks can be imagined. Therefore, the injection doctor's familiarity with the anatomy of the eye area, familiar with the characteristics of various products, proficiency in injection techniques, and the avoidance of various complications are the key elements of the success of tear trough filling.
