Modern people, life, work pressure, overtime, stay up late, Internet, play cell phones, watch TV, play games, excessive fatigue with the eyes, resulting in serious eye bags, dark circles. Some people try to get rid of under-eye bags through eye creams or small remedies, or use thick concealer to cover them up, but it is not what they want, and it is getting more and more serious, what should they do? What is under-eye bags With the growth of age and the continuous effect of the earth’s gravity, the skin of the lower eyelid relaxation, orbital septum support and consequently prolapse, as well as the tension of the orbicularis oculi muscle decreased, the formation of pouch-like expansion above the infraorbital rim, and the cheek-lid furrow deepened, which is called under-eye bags. Causes of under-eye bags 1, excessive fat under the eyes; 2, skin, orbicularis oculi muscle, fascia laxity; 3, under-eye skin laxity; 4, cheek fat atrophy displacement. Four manifestations of lower eyelid bags 1, simple orbicularis oculi hypertrophy type: eye bags due to genetic factors, the lower eyelid bags at a young age. Its prominent feature is near the lower lid margin, continuous distribution in an arc, the skin is not lax, mostly seen in young people aged 20 to 32. 2.Simple skin laxity: In this case, the skin of the lower lid and canthus is lax, but there is no orbital septum laxity, so there is no orbital fat protrusion, and small wrinkles appear around the eyes, mostly seen in middle-aged people aged 33 to 45. 3, Lower lid mild to moderate bulging type: mainly congenital overdevelopment of the orbital septum fat, mostly seen in middle-aged and young adults between the ages of 23 and 36. 4. Moderate to severe lower lid bulge: accompanied by skin laxity of the lower lid, mainly skin, orbicularis oculi and orbital septum, causing septal fat to prolapse due to gravity, severe canthal ligament laxity, lid plate ectropion, lid ball separation, and often tearing, mostly seen in middle-aged to older adults aged 45 to 68 years. How to choose the right surgical method for you 1, the external method to remove eye bags. Epicanthoplasty is an incision along the lower lid lower edge of the eyelashes to the outer canthus to remove the bulging bags of fat, while also removing excess lower lid skin to remove wrinkles. This method is suitable for solving the problem of lower eyelid bags with skin laxity and orbital fat prolapse, especially suitable for removing moderate and severe bags. 2, internal incision to remove under-eye bags, internal incision to remove under-eye bags is located in the conjunctiva, a small incision is made at the lid conjunctiva to remove excess fat, mainly for people with simple orbital fat bulge and good elasticity of lower lid skin, not suitable for moderate to severe under-eye bags with obvious relaxation of skin, orbicularis muscle and orbital septum. Myths about eye bags Myth 1: Cosmetics such as serum can remove eye bags Eye bags are caused by the bulging of orbital fat, without solving the problem of fat accumulation, it is impossible to eliminate eye bags fundamentally. Cosmetics or massage stick can only reduce the bags under the eyes, if you want to remove the bags, you still need to take different surgical methods and fine tuning according to each person’s different situation. Myth 2: Drinking water before going to bed will make your eyes swollen the next day and will increase the bags under your eyes In fact, this is a misconception, how much water we drink every day will be metabolically filtered through our kidneys to keep the water and electrolyte balance in our body. Excess water will be excreted. As long as the heart and kidneys function normally, there will be no problem of swollen eyes, much less increase the bags under the eyes, or promote the formation of bags under the eyes. Pillow height is appropriate, sleep enough solid, there will be no swollen eyes. Myth 3: If you are young, you will not have bags under the eyes. The formation of bags under the eyes is complex, genetic factors, physiological reasons and lifestyle habits may form bags. As long as the eye skin can not pocket the accumulation of fat, outward expansion, eye bags are produced. Generally people above middle age are more obvious, but nowadays, due to high work pressure, long-term late night, mood swings and other reasons, many young people also begin to appear under-eye bags, even very obvious. There are also some school-age children due to genetic factors, also have the phenomenon of bags under the eyes, and age is not related. Misconception four: sleeping silkworms is eye bags Some young people, a smile, the lower lid margin will bulge a muscle, so it is treated as eye bags consultation, and even strongly requested to remove. In fact, this is an obvious misconception. This bulging pair of muscles, which is what we call the sleeping silkworm, is adjacent to the lower edge of the eyelashes, and it is only obvious when you smile, and it is the expression of the charming and beautiful eyes. And the biggest difference between the sleeping silkworms and bags under the eyes is that the sleeping silkworms will only become obvious when a person smiles, but bags under the eyes is twenty-four hours a day, whether you are laughing or crying, or facial expressions, it will hang solidly on the face, therefore, do not equate bags under the eyes with sleeping silkworms. Myth 5: The effect of eye bag removal surgery is permanent This statement is not scientific. First of all, our human body is constantly aging and relaxing, and the eyes are also in the aging process. Some people are emotionally stable, no major changes in the body, and may not appear again for many years under-eye bags. But for the loss of love, a sudden change, or weakened body, there will soon be signs of eye aging, eye bags may reappear. Myth six, the more fat bags under the eyes, the better things will be the opposite, the orbital fat has a normal physiological function, to support the eye, and in the eye is connected, if excessive fat extraction, then will lead to the loss of the lower eyelid support, resulting in a depression. Therefore, fat removal should only be done in moderation, depending on the circumstances.
