The difference between tear trough and eye bags

Where are the tear troughs? Where are the bags under the eyes? We are all confused, next for you to elaborate on this tear trough and eye bags. What is tear trough? Tear trough is a groove that appears on the lower eyelid from the inner corner of the eye to the side of the nose, and is caused by the atrophy and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum. In some cases, it can even extend to the cheeks. Because of the contrast between the sunken tear trough and the surrounding skin, the lower eyelid tissues look bloated and bulging, making it easy to think of it as an under-eye bag, but in fact that is just an illusion given by the deepening of the tear trough. How do tear troughs form? Tear troughs are usually congenital and are often more pronounced in people with thinner skin under the eyes than in the general population. However, tear troughs are often less noticeable when you are young, because young people have more subcutaneous fat and tighter skin, so there is only a vague outline. However, as we age, the subcutaneous fat shrinks, the skin thins and sags due to reduced elasticity, and the tear trough on the inner side of the lower eyelid becomes obvious, thus revealing the “bags under the eyes”. Can tear troughs be eliminated? Tear troughs tend to give people a haggard impression, but modern plastic surgery can eliminate tear troughs with hyaluronic acid injections: Hyaluronic acid injections 1, preoperative preparation: mark the injection location in the tear trough, take pictures, and sterilize. 2.Local anesthesia: then inject 2% lidocaine plus epinephrine 0.03~0.05ml in the marked location, with slight finger pressure and then local anesthesia. 3.Hyaluronic acid filling: after anesthesia, perform intra-dermal backward injection, slowly and orderly inject small drops of hyaluronic acid as a string of water droplets; withdraw the injection needle and use uniform intensity finger pressure to make the injection evenly dispersed; perform the same operation in the remaining anesthesia points until the nasal cheek furrow and infraorbital area are completely treated. 4.Post-operative care: apply a light cold compress immediately after the injection and ask the patient to avoid activities and high temperature for 48 hours. Advantages of hyaluronic acid injection: 1.Safety: Hyaluronic acid exists widely in the human body and can be highly integrated with the human body. 2, simple: fast and effective: micro cosmetic surgery without surgery, only the dermis injection, avoiding the risk of surgery. 3.Effective: using the micro plastic surgery local injection method, the effect can be seen immediately. 4, painless: micro facelift using the injection method, the incision is very small, only local micro swelling and micro pain, no major pain, the customer easily accepted. 5, hydration: the injection process is easy and convenient, and hyaluronic acid is also the strongest moisturizing component found so far, which can moisturize and hydrate. Case effect comparison Before surgery: Tear troughs give people a sense of fatigue. After surgery: no tear trough looks young and energetic.
