It is really annoying to have two untimely little pockets under your big beautiful eyes. Puffy bags under the eyes bother many women, it is an important feature of facial aging, not only always gives a feeling of unspirituality, but also looks old and haggard. How to prevent under-eye bags? What should I do now that I already have bags under my eyes? Here we provide some good ways to eliminate eye bags for female friends. First, some bags under the eyes are inherited from parents There are two main reasons why there are bags under the eyes. The first is genetic, and the general rule is cross heritage, that is, such as the father has very obvious bags under the eyes, it is easy to inherit to the daughter, the mother to have, it is easy to inherit to the son. Of course this hereditary type of eye bags (simple orbicularis oculi hypertrophy type of eye bags) is not born with it, it also appears slowly as we age. The hereditary type of eye bags usually occurs at a younger age, possibly in the teens or twenties, and although the skin is still tight, there is already a lot of orbital fat in the lower eyelid. Most of those who come to us for eye bag removal surgery are women between the ages of thirty-seven or eight and forty-five. Generally, when people reach the age of about 40, the skin starts to sag and the tension of the orbicularis muscle of the lower eyelid decreases, which easily leads to the accumulation of orbital fat and the formation of eye bags. For example, the orbicularis oculi muscle is like an elastic band, but when its elasticity is gone, it can’t be pouched anymore, and the orbital fat comes out, and when it accumulates more, the bags under the eyes become visible. Fatty eye bags are the most common, accounting for about 70%. In addition, poor sleep, irregular diet, long hours of computer people are at high risk of under-eye bags. Third, the pseudoscientific claims about eye bags 1, double eyelids, large eyes are easy to have bags. In fact, this is a misconception. Double eyelids is also heavy eyelids, it is the upper eyelid thing, not much to do with the lower eyelid. 2, some of the so-called treatments in some beauty salons, this cream, that oil, in fact, the role is very limited. 3, in terms of eye bags treatment, there are also many traps. Now many beauty salons and some manufacturers to play without surgery can easily go to the eye bags of various methods, such as massage creams, eye patches and so on, most of them are false gimmicks, perhaps some may have some effect, but only to improve the activity of the eye skin cells, may have a temporary effect, but never eliminate. Fourth, prevention from the age of 30 If it is genetic bags under the eyes, there is no good way to prevent it, because it is genetically determined, at a certain age, it will come out. If it is other types of eye bags, you can prevent it or prolong the time of its appearance. Prevention is best to start at the age of 30, because after 30, our skin gradually goes downhill. The best means of prevention is to have a regular life, especially to ensure about 7 hours of sleep a day and not to stay up too often. Many people stay up late the first night and get dark circles under their eyes the next day, which is actually one of the culprits that induce under-eye bags. Dark circles under the eyes are due to the previous night eye muscles are too fatigued, the muscles are always in a contracted state, the venous return flow is not good, it is easy to bruise blood, and the blood in the veins is purple in color. Therefore, the next day, the eyes will be in a state of edema, and look like a dark circle. If you do this often, the bags under your eyes will come out soon. Secondly, you should also pay attention to balance and nutrition in your diet. Eat more vegetables, fruits and collagen-rich foods like pig’s feet, they are good for the skin and can naturally prevent eye bags. You can also give your eyes a massage from time to time, which can not only prevent eye bags, but also wrinkles. If it is sudden eye bags, such as drinking too much water on the first night or not sleeping well, you can try ice compress. Use two cotton balls dipped in ice water, control 80% of the water, put it on both eyes for 15 minutes, in between every three or four minutes can be dipped in ice water again. Or use a small square towel soaked in ice water, wring it until 80% dry, fold it into a long strip and place it on your eyelids. This will be relieved, and by the afternoon it will be much better. Fifth, the best effect of moderate eye bags removal If eye bags are really formed, they can only be removed through eye bag surgery, and the effect of removal is very closely related to the timing of surgery. According to our many years of clinical experience, the best results after surgery to remove moderate bags under the eyes. This seems to be contradictory to the “the earlier the treatment, the better” advocated for other diseases, why is this? Even the most skilled surgeons cannot easily grasp the amount of fat and muscles that should be removed from the eyes, if less is removed, it will be ineffective, if more is removed, the eyes will be easily sunken and turned out. And when it comes to moderate, which you think is a bit obvious, this is the most suitable time to come back to surgery. This is because at the moderate level, a certain amount of fat has accumulated and the surgeon is in a very good position to grasp how much should be removed. At the same time, the skin tissues and collagen fibers have not been completely stretched out at this time, so the skin is more elastic and less likely to form post-operative wrinkles after the procedure. Another advantage of moderate surgery is that there is less chance of the bags growing back in the future. The amount of fat in the eye bags is constant, and the size of the bags is determined by the volume of this fat. If the fat that has grown to a moderate level is removed, it is unlikely that the remaining bit will grow back too significantly. Whereas if it is removed when it is mild, there is more fat left and the chances of forming bags under the eyes again are of course higher. Generally speaking, if the timing of surgery is good, the effect of surgery can be maintained for 5 to 8 years, and if you pay attention to the maintenance of people, the maintenance effect is longer than 8 years. Sixth, common surgical methods At present, there are two kinds of conventional eye bag removal methods. One is the internal incision method, which is inside the eye via a small incision inside the lower conjunctival sac to remove the eye fat. There is no incision on the skin surface, but it is only suitable for young people whose eye muscles are not relaxed. While most middle-aged people still need to do external blepharoplasty, it is done by making an incision 2~2.5 mm under the eyelashes of the lower eyelid to remove the bulging eye fat, while tightening the lower eyelid skin, removing the excess lower eyelid skin and removing the wrinkles of the lower eyelid skin. One month after the external incision, there will be a shallow mark in the lower eyelid area. One year later, when the patient comes back for a visit, we can’t find this scar anymore. Because the skin is very thin in this area of the eye bag, it will recover in 1 week to 10 days. Regarding the indications for surgery, as long as there are bags under the eyes, men, women and children can do it. However, people with serious cardiovascular disease and diabetes cannot do it, and diabetic patients can do the surgery if their blood sugar is well controlled. Seven, post-operative care Although the eyesight is not affected in any way after the eyebag removal surgery, avoid using your eyes too much and try to read less books, computers and TV, which is good for the swelling. Take proper rest, avoid too much strain, and go to the hospital for local cleaning according to the doctor’s instruction, avoid rubbing hard on the eyes, and avoid or reduce spicy diet during the postoperative recovery period. Ice packs can help reduce swelling and pain for 48 hours after surgery, about 15~20 minutes at a time, and not more than 20 minutes at the longest. Rest for one hour after icing, and then again afterwards. Rinse the wound and the surrounding area with water, wash and dry the wound afterwards, and apply ointment. Keep the wound clean and do not touch the wound with your hands. The stitches can be removed 5 days after the surgery.
