What is the problem with bags and dark circles under the eyes?

Blepharoplasty is a condition in which the lower eyelid tissue is bloated and puffy and hangs in a pouch-like fashion. The clinical manifestations of this condition are laxity of the lower lid skin, fat accumulation, pouching, downward shift of the outer canthus, poor fit of the lower lid margin to the eyeball, increased curvature of the lower lid margin, and outward tearing of the lower tear point. In severe cases of skin laxity, gravity can lead to lid detachment and lower lid ectropion; it can also be due to weakness of the lower lid contraction muscles, orbital septum and inability to counteract the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle in front of the lid plate, resulting in lid margin involution and inverted eyelashes. There are many factors that contribute to the formation of under-eye bags, with genetics being an important factor and becoming more pronounced as we age. Under normal circumstances, the volume of intraorbital fat is in balance with the supporting structures of the lower lid skin, orbicularis muscle, orbital septum and canthal ligament. When this balance is altered due to excessive intraorbital fat accumulation or weakness of the supporting structures of the lower lid, the intraorbital fat breaks through the lower lid and protrudes outside the orbit, forming a lower eyebag-like deformity. In addition, because the eyelid skin is very thin and the subcutaneous tissue is thin and loose, such as kidney disease, pregnancy, lack of sleep or staying up late and fatigue can cause the accumulation of fluid in the eyelid area and form bags. Surgical treatment of under-eye bags For some young patients, the conjunctival endoplasty, in which the accumulated fat is removed through an incision in the conjunctiva, can be adopted. The advantage of this method is that it does not leave any incision marks on the epidermis. By far the most used surgical method internationally is the lid margin incision. This procedure allows for proper treatment of the orbicularis oculi and removal of excess skin, especially for the orbicularis oculi for longer lasting results. Currently, many domestic beauty salons apply liposuction to remove eye bags, but liposuction to remove eye bags has never been seen in foreign clinics and textbooks. Suction of fat with a needle under blind vision has a higher possibility of injuring blood vessels, and there is a possibility of affecting the eye and vision to the point of causing blindness. In addition, there are generally three areas of fat in the lower eyelid, and how much is best to remove is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also a matter of common medical sense. Because the fat in the eye socket is located between the bony orbit and the resilient eye, it plays an important role in cushioning pressure, protecting the eye, and facilitating eye movement. Therefore, eye sockets fat can only be removed appropriately, never all. Liposuction to remove eye bags is not scientific in mentioning method, and even less desirable in practice. The surgery of “immediate effect” is never a complete and lasting surgery, and it is impossible to “see the effect in ten minutes” for the bags formed gradually for many years. Because the recovery of human tissue needs a certain amount of time, otherwise, it can only be a short-term effect. Prevention of under-eye bags: ensure sufficient sleep, improve the quality of sleep. Before going to bed, you should drink less water, and can appropriately cushion the pillow, so that the water that easily accumulates in the eyelids through the blood circulation and evacuation; often massage the eyelids, through muscle movement to promote blood circulation; eat more food rich in vitamin A and vitamin B2, so that the body’s nutritional balance; in makeup, it is appropriate to use warm foundation to adjust the skin tone of the face, the color of the eye bags area to coordinate with the skin tone of the face, do not apply bright colors in the eye bags Never apply bright colors to the eye bags. The so-called dark circles under the eyes are the appearance of the darker eyelids in the eye area. Dark circles are related to the pigmentation of the eyelids themselves, the color of blood flow in the eyelids, and the direction of light projection. The causes of dark circles: 1, genetic constitution: the patient’s orbicularis oculi muscle is congenitally thicker or the pigment of the eyelid is congenitally darker and more pigmented than the neighboring parts of the skin, so it appears dark gray eyes. 2, cosmetic pigment penetration: long-term use of cosmetics, may lead to deep pigment particles penetrate into the eyelids. Over time, dark circles will be formed. 3. Over fatigue: When you are over fatigued and do not have enough rest, the venous blood flow in the orbicularis oculi and eyelid skin becomes blocked due to autonomic dysregulation and poor blood circulation. As the color of venous blood is darker, so the dark gray circles are presented on the eyelids. 4, Varicose veins: Venous tumors or varicose veins in the eye sockets or eyelids and long-term edema of the eyelids can also cause venous blood clogging. 5. Trauma: Contusions of the eye sockets or eyelids can cause subcutaneous bleeding, which creates the appearance of dark circles. Ways to eliminate or reduce the degree of dark circles: 1. Dark circles caused by venous tumors or varicose veins in the eye sockets or eyelids may be considered for surgical correction. 2, caused by the penetration of cosmetic particles, stop using cosmetics, or consider using other better quality cosmetics. 3, adequate sleep and rest can improve the dark circles caused by excessive fatigue hot compresses, massage, can improve the blood circulation of the eyes, reduce venous stasis. When acting or taking pictures, adjust the posture of the head, or with the help of light projection angle to cover. 4, caused by genetic physique, then bland disposal; or consider cosmetics to remedy .
