Talking about “sleeping silkworms”

The “sleeping silkworm” refers to a band of 4-7 millimeters immediately below the lower edge of the eyelashes, like a baby silkworm lying across the edge of the lower eyelashes, more prominent when you smile. The “sleeping silkworm” combined with double eyelids is the best way to create an “electric eye beauty”, and it is generally believed that the most beautiful eyes will have a lovely “sleeping silkworm”. The “sleeping silkworm” is mainly made up of muscles and is part of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Therefore, as long as the eyes smile hard, the muscles around the eyes will contract and puff out naturally, making the shape of the “sleeping silkworm” more obvious. Many people with naturally thick muscles can see the “sleeping silkworm” even without smiling, making people envious. The “sleeping silkworm” is located in a long area about 4-7mm wide below the eyelashes of the lower eyelid, and is shaped like a cicada chrysalis lying directly below the eye. Incidentally, many people often mistake the “sleeping silkworm” for bags under the eyes, but the bags are located further down the “sleeping silkworm” and are often accompanied by deep tear troughs, because the bags are composed of puffy fat and loose lower lid skin, which are squeezed back when the eye muscles are contracted with force. This is just the opposite of the more obvious effect of the “sleeping silkworm”, so as long as a smile or squinting that can be very simple to distinguish the difference between the “sleeping silkworm” and eye bags, you can make a simple judgment for yourself. The main effect of the “sleeping silkworm” is to modify the hollow part of the eyes below or under the bags, so that the eyes do not appear monotonous, especially when the eyes smile when the sleeping silkworm will follow the floating become obvious, so that the eyes suddenly lively and vivid, also has a lot of discharge effect, and even the ancient people will be “peach blossom eyes “This is proof of the charm of the silhouette. However, the “sleeping silkworm” is part of the natural muscle, most people are not natural beauty, it is really difficult to have as many beautiful actresses like the more obvious “sleeping silkworm” than ordinary people. How can we have the “sleeping silkworms” that make people so much more attractive? Currently there are two common methods: one is to use hyaluronic acid injections, many people will try to sculpt the “silhouette” with hyaluronic acid injections. The advantages of these injections are that they are less painful, the process is shorter, and the results are faster. The disadvantage is that it lasts for a short time and must be injected every six months, moreover, the effect of each injection may be different, which really bothers many young women who love beauty. In view of the uncertainty of hyaluronic acid injection, it is necessary to seek a more permanent and stable way of surgery for the silkworm, which is “silkworm” surgery. There are two types of “silkworm” surgery, one is to form “silkworm” by means of implant materials, currently there are two types of implant materials, one is the artificial strip of Goretex, the other is to take the autologous fascia and dermis to transplant. The advantage of Goretex is that the surgery is quick and less invasive, but the disadvantage is that it feels hard to the touch, there is a risk of infection, and there may be concerns of displacement with long-term use. As for the advantages of autologous fascia transplantation, it is realistic to the touch, natural expression, and the size can be changed according to the patient’s needs, while the disadvantage is that there will be an additional scar in the groin area or buttock sulcus (where the fascia is taken), and there is a difference in the degree of autologous absorption (about 20% is absorbed), which makes it more difficult to remove later. “First, we will make a small wound of about 4mm on each side of the lower eyelid, separate the skin from the muscle, and then implant the prepared autologous fascia (as shown in Figure 1) or Goretex in these two wounds. After the implant position and symmetry are confirmed, the wound can be sutured, and the whole operation will be finished within an hour. Another method of “serpent” shaping is to use the orbicularis muscle of the lower lid to overlap with the orbicularis muscle of the lower lid, and to thicken the orbicularis muscle in that area to achieve the goal. This method gives the most natural look to the eyelids, and it is natural with the change in expression. I believe that after the introduction of the above surgery, many women who love beauty but are troubled by it have hope in their hearts, but patients must be reminded that not everyone is suitable for this surgery, especially patients with congenital short eyes, overly round eyes, loose or large eye bags, or even poor eyelashes must be carefully evaluated before making a decision, so as not to cause excessive post-operative effects or even the opposite effect.
