Of our five senses, the eyes are the most likely to reveal a person’s age. For example, the sunken eye sockets caused by aging and fat loss around the eyes are one of the culprits that make people look old. Why do Europeans and Americans have deep sunken eye sockets, while yellow people have an aging look? The key lies in the brow bone. The deep eye sockets of Europeans and Americans are due to the high brow bone, and the high point of the brow bone is higher than the eye, so that the brow bone will create a deep shadow effect in the eye sockets, giving people a sense of three-dimensional beauty. Most yellow people have flattened brow bones, which are at the same level as the eyeballs, and when the upper lid is sunken, the eyeballs look a little more protruding, which can make people look and feel old. So for most people, sunken eye sockets are not Europeanization, but aging. Causes of sunken eyes: 1. Genetic factors: congenital hypertrophy of the orbicularis oculi caused by genetic factors, or more pigment in the eyelids, then this part of the skin will be darker and more pigmented than the neighboring part of the skin, and the area around the eyes will be dark gray, showing a deeper eye socket. 2. Natural aging: As the years go by, the entire body begins to show aging, which first appears in the eyes. This is mostly due to the gradual reduction of subcutaneous fat and tissue and the gradual aging of muscle fibers, resulting in a state of aging where the eyeballs recede and the upper lids sink, also known as the sunset phenomenon. 3. Staying up late and using the eyes excessively: due to overwork and lack of rest, the vascular blood circulation is poor due to an imbalance in the autonomic nerves, resulting in venous blood flow congestion in the orbicularis oculi and eyelid skin. Because the color of venous blood is relatively dark, dark gray circles will appear, making the eye sockets look darker. 4. Makeup: If you use some cosmetics with high lead content for a long time, it may cause dark pigment particles to seep into your eyelids. Prolonged use will form dark circles under the eyes and make the eye sockets look darker. 5, surgery: A few cases are because, in doing double eyelid surgery, too much tissue is removed because of improper technique, and the anatomical level structure of the eye is not too familiar with the case, the suturing is done directly, which will lead to the sunken eye sockets after the recovery, and naturally, the post-operative appears old. 6. Trauma: When contusion of the eye sockets or eyelids causes subcutaneous bleeding, it can lead to dark circles and even cause sunken eyes, making the eye sockets look deep. Also, due to phlebitis or varicose veins around the eye sockets or eyelids, this can lead to chronic edema and venous congestion in the eyelids, which can cause the eye sockets to look deeper. Treatment: 1. In case of mild sunken eye sockets with little upper eyelid fat, the upper eyelid skin is attached to the eyeball and often shows multiple layers of eyelids as the skin relaxes. You can improve the sunken eye sockets by increasing the fullness of the upper eyelid after reflexion with a full-cut double eyelid. 2. In case of moderate to severe sunken eyes, the sunken eyes can be effectively improved and corrected by filling the eye sockets. This can be improved by using autologous fat or hyaluronic acid to fill the eye sockets hollows. 3, Severe upper eyelid sunkenness caused by a significant lack of upper eyelid muscle strength: can be corrected with upper eyelid ptosis correction surgery (CFS technique).
