We analyze folk methods, means of cosmetology and plastic surgery.
Why can an eyelid hang out?
A condition in which the upper eyelid begins to fall is called ptosis or blepharoptosis. The last term is used if the edge of the century itself remains in place, and only the skin and soft tissues under it strive down.
Both states may arise for many reasons:
1. Features of the structure of the face. Some people have overhanging eyelids from birth. This may be due to the weak attachment to the skin of the muscle that lifts them.
Maslyansna Elena Vladimirovna doctor-cosmetologist, dermatologist, nutritionist, Anti-Age Expert, chief physician of the clinic Reline
Some, even at a young age, have a small excess of skin and an easy hanging of the century. In his youth, it looks very beautiful, gives a look to mystery and sexuality, but, unfortunately, such eyelids quickly age and require blackoplasty at a fairly young age.
2. Damage to the structures of the century. Namely, aponeurosis – connective tissue, as well as muscles or nerve endings. This can happen, for example, after surgery in the eyes, as well as due to various diseases. For example, Horner’s syndrome.
3. Weakness of the muscle that lifts the eyelid. The cause may be a disease causing muscle atrophy.
4. Taking some drugs. Corticosteroids, acetaminopren (paracetamol), aspirin and hormonal agents can cause water delay, quinca edema or urticaria.
5. Diseases not related to the eyes. Eye of the eyelids can accompany problems with the heart, kidneys, liver, impaired limpical outflow and thyroid gland work.
6. Allergy or infection. If the edema of the century is accompanied by tearfulness, itching and redness, it can be an allergy. For example, in response to new cosmetics and skin care products, powders for washing towels or bedding. If in addition to the tumor there is redness, a local increase in temperature and pain – most likely, an infection is to blame, for example, blepharitis.
7. Age. Over time, the skin begins to go down under the influence of gravity.
Maslyansna Elena Vladimirovna
Edema, chronic fluid retention, anatomical features, age -related changes – all this contributes to the hanging of the century.
If you allow problems with internal organs, allergies or infection, and also experience vision problems, you should take an examination by an ophthalmologist or go to the therapist.
If the eyelids hang due to structural features or due to age -related changes, you can try to fix this.
Is it possible to remove the overhanging eyelids with folk remedies?
The action of most folk remedies is associated with the elimination of edema. Here are the main ones:
- Sage decoction. The leaves of this medicinal plant contain urshol and rosemary acids that have an anti -inflammatory effect.
- Cabbage leaves. They can also relieve local inflammation.
- Ice cubes. Skin cooling for 10-20 minutes narrows small vessels, helps reduce swelling.
- Compresses with chamomile flowers. This medicinal plant can help with irritation.
At the same time, there are no studies confirming their positive impact on the state of the eyelids. Moreover, if the hanging of the eyelids is not caused by a local inflammatory process, all these funds will be absolutely useless.
Will it be possible to remove the hanging eyelid using exercises?
It is believed that face exercises can strengthen muscles and thus raise the hanging eyelids, but in fact it is ineffective.
As Dr. Julian Perry noted in the article on Cleveland Clinic, the eyes blink about 30 thousand times a day, and the eyelids are clearly enough to stay in the form.
Moreover, touching the centuries during self -massage or exercises can only make worse.
Scientists discovered a connection between ptosis and the use of contact lenses and concluded that the more people touch the eyelids, the more risk that the muscles will weaken and over time the eyelids will begin to sag.
Is it possible to remove the hanging eyelid using teip?
Cneysiotei manufacturers say that gluing strips on the face can accelerate the outflow of lymph and remove the liquid, eliminating the swelling of the eyelids, as well as improve muscle tone and stimulate the regeneration of connective tissue.
There are several studies confirming the benefits of taping to relieve edema, however, scientific work rearse lymphostasis during breast cancer, periods after surgery and lymphatic drainage on the hood in the Ilizarov apparatus.
Thus, there is no convincing evidence that colored stripes can do something with an overhanging century.
Is it possible to remove the hanging eyelid by cosmetology?
A small hanging of the century can be corrected using cosmetic procedures, without resorting to surgical intervention.
Anastasia Prokopenko Dermatologist, cosmetologist. Doctor of preventive and integrative medicine
An individual approach is important in the correction of the hanging eyelids. One magic procedure does not exist, most often it is a complex of two or more methods. If the cosmetologist has well selected the procedures, the result is on average for one year.
Botox injections
Despite the fact that injections with botulinum toxin relax muscles and do not affect the ligaments, with proper use, they can help.
Weakening the muscles that pull the eyebrows down, you can raise them, which will affect the appearance of the eyelids. Elena Maslyanitsyna says that Botox will be a good solution with a slight hanging over, but with severe problems, injections in the forehead can have the opposite effect.
The cost of injections depends on the clinic and is about 5 thousand . The effect of the procedure lasts from 2 to 6 months.
Ultrasonic SMAS -lifting
This is a hardware technique in which with the help of ultrasound affect the deep layers of the skin, muscles and aponeurosis.
Anastasia Prokopenko says that this is the only procedure that helps to deal with several causes of ptosis.
SMAS -lifting stimulates the production of collagen – a protein, on which the density of the skin and connective tissues depends – fibroblast cells. And, unlike other hardware procedures, it strengthens not only the deep layers of the skin, but also the muscles and ligaments.
Anastasia Prokopenko
After SMAS -lifting there is no redness, wounds and peeling, but swelling can remain for 3-5 days. The result is visible immediately and increases within three months due to the stimulation of neocollagenesis – the development of its own collagen.
Elena Maslyansna says that for the constant effect, the procedure will need to be repeated once every 6-12 months. The cost of SMAS -lifting starts at 10 thousand .
Radio frequency lifting
Another hardware procedure in which high -frequency current affects the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen.
There are two varieties of such an intervention: non -invasive, with the effects of high frequencies without damage to the skin, and micro -hungry, in which needles of small length are introduced into the place of exposure and current is supplied already through them.
Anastasia Prokopenko says that an ordinary RF -lifting is cheaper than needle -shaped, and after it there is no swelling and redness. At the same time, it is less effective, especially for the hanging eyelids.
Prokopenko Anastasia Sergeevna
It may require at least 6-8 non -invasive intervention procedures, while in the case of needle -shaped 1-3 sessions will be enough for a good effect.
The cost of RF -lifting is about 3-6 thousand for the procedure, needle – 10-15 thousand. After exposure to the microhl, it may take about 3-5 days before the edema falls and redness will pass.
Laser grinding
This procedure consists in the influence of a laser beam, which pointarily heats the skin to high temperatures and helps to update it. As in other methods that stimulate fibroblasts to the production of collagen, laser grinding has a recovery period.
Anastasia Prokopenko says that after such an intervention, swelling and redness can remain for three days, after which the skin of the eyelids may peel off about a week.
The cost of one procedure varies between 10-11 thousand depending on the clinic and apparatus.
Mesotherapeutic techniques
Mesotherapy is a rejuvenation technique that includes injections of vitamins, plant extracts or amino acids to improve the condition of the skin.
Elena Maslyansna says that a good effect can be achieved using preparations for the synthesis of collagen of the first type, such as Skin Restructure, Nithia or Collust.
As a rule, they advise you to take a complex of four procedures with an interval of two weeks. The cost of one injection is about 10 thousand .
How to remove the hanging eyelid using blepharoplasty?
Blefaroplasty is a surgical procedure with which you can change the appearance of the eyelids, regardless of the causes, whether it is the structural features, age -related changes or damage to their structures.
Denis Ginzburg doctor-plastic surgeon, Anti-Age Expert
During blepharoplasty, the surgeon can use different layers. Correction can be subjected to skin, orbital fat layer, ligaments and muscles.
In some cases, the surgeon may not remove fat, but transfer it to another position to create the desired shape of the eyelids.
Who should not do blepharoplasty
The list of contraindications to the operation includes:
- eye diseases, such as glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, retinal exfoliation;
- thyroid disorders;
- problems with blood coagulation;
- pregnancy;
- Cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and other problems with blood circulation;
- diabetes.
Denis Ginzburg says that before the operation it is worth undergoing laboratory diagnostics, make an ECG and get a therapist consultation – this will help to make sure that you have no contraindications.
How the operation takes place
It is made under general anesthesia, and it lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours. After you can stay in the clinic at night to exclude any possible problems.
If you want to go home, you can do it 2-3 hours after the operation. In this case, it is worth taking care so that someone helps you to get, as well as arrange a vacation from work for at least a couple of days.
How is the recovery
In the first days after the operation, it may be accompanied by swelling of the eyelids, irritation, the appearance of bruises, dryness and discomfort in the eyes.
The doctor will advise you medicines, cold compresses and ointments that will help to cope with unpleasant sensations.
Denis Ginzburg doctor-plastic surgeon, Anti-Age Expert
Rehabilitation takes about 14 days. Do not ignore the examinations of your surgeon, and then everything will go smoothly.
Can complications arise
As in the case of any surgical operation, blepharoplasty has some risks:
- bleeding;
- infections;
- dry eye syndrome;
- the abnormal location of the eyelids or folds;
- the inability to completely close the eyes;
- Problems with vision.
All this is quite rare, especially if you follow the rehabilitation rules.
Will it be possible to save a new form of the eyelids for life
Although the results of blepharoplasty last long, they will not stop aging. The new form of the eyelids can persist from 5-7 years to the end of life. However, everything can gradually return to the previous state.
Denis Ginzburg
The laws of physics, unfortunately, cannot be canceled. Gravity does its job, and blepharoplasty will have to be repeated in 15 years.
How to prevent hanging a century?
Sooner or later, age will take its own, and the eyelids will begin to sink. It will not work to prevent this process, but you can delay it with proper care. Cosmetologists listed what needs to be done in order to maintain a beautiful shape of the eyelids longer.
Use cosmetics with lymphatic drainage effect
Cosmetics do not penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, and therefore they are practically useless with existing problems with hanging the eyelids. However, as a prevention, such a method will fit.
Elena Maslyanitsyna advises to use the eyelid cream with a moisturizing lymphatic drainage effect and apply it correctly – not close to the ciliary edge, but along the bone edge of the zone around the eyes.
Eat properly
This is not about special diets and “detox programs”, but about healthy full nutrition without excess sweets.
Anastasia Prokopenko
The synthesis of collagen depends on the presence of many trace elements and vitamins, so a balanced diet is a key to healthy skin. In addition, an excess of fast carbohydrates can provoke the destruction of collagen, so sugar, sweets and flour products should be consumed moderately.
Try to eat enough protein, vegetables and fruits, reduce the amount of quick carbohydrates and salt. Anastasia also advises at least once a year to take tests for deficiency of vitamins and microelements, in order to choose the right nutrition and additives in case of problems.
Use
UV -rays accelerate the destruction of collagen fibers and provoke photoaging. So, if you often visit the sun, buy glasses or a baseball cap to protect the delicate skin of the eyelids.
