Bags under the eyes: causes and methods of treatment

Reasons for the appearance of sufs

Connective tissues that sag with age due to gravity. For the same reason, fat packets located on the face are lowered.

Age-related changes: reduction in skull volume, deformation of the orbicularis oculi muscles, decrease in skin elasticity.

Certain diseases related to the condition of the skin, eyes, and some internal organs.

Stagnant fluid in the tissues, increasing the volume of edema. True, excess fluid in the tissues only affects the size of the sufas. That is, lymphatic drainage techniques, of course, will help remove excess “water” and reduce swelling. But lymphatic drainage massage does not significantly affect the fat bags under the eyes and the muscles.

The presence of bad habits, and especially alcohol abuse.

Constant lack of sleep, frequent stress, which creates an excess or deficiency of necessary hormones that affect the condition of the skin, muscles, etc. Lack of adequate sleep directly affects the condition of the skin and muscles.

With insomnia, too little melatonin, our main “hormone of youth,” is produced, and collagen synthesis decreases. As a result, the skin loses its tone faster. In addition, insomnia increases the synthesis of cortisol, the stress hormone. But it does not have the best effect on metabolism and muscle condition.

Contraindications for use

A cosmetologist prescribes a non-surgical injection mesotherapy procedure for the problem of bags under the eyes, only taking into account and assessing the risks and benefits of its effects. There are times when Dermahil cannot be used. This is explained both by the components of the drug and the method of carrying out the procedure.

Contraindications include:

allergic diseases;
oncological formations;
blood clotting disorder;
pathological fear of injections;
psychical deviations;
damage to the skin in the form of rashes, abrasions, bruises;
diabetes;
exacerbation of chronic diseases;
low pain threshold;
cardiovascular diseases;
epilepsy.

There are conditional contraindications that are temporary. It is unacceptable to inject Dermahil for bags under the eyes until the causes are eliminated. In this case, the final verdict is made by the cosmetologist who will perform the injection procedure. Such contraindications include:

During pregnancy and breastfeeding. The effect of cosmetic injections with Dermahil on the condition of the fetus or child whom a woman is breastfeeding has not been fully studied. It is recommended to postpone the procedure until the end of lactation.
If the herpes virus worsens on the face, it is also not recommended to carry out a cosmetic procedure to get rid of bags under the eyes.
Acute infectious diseases are a contraindication until the patient has fully recovered.
When using medications that affect blood clotting, it is recommended to consult a specialist to avoid unpleasant consequences.

It is difficult to predict how the drug Dermahil will behave in an unstudied situation. Therefore, it is best to follow all doctor’s instructions and know in advance about possible contraindications.

Formation of paint bags

With age, the orbicularis oculi muscle shortens so much that it tightens the skin and fatty tissues. As a result, a bag forms on the cheekbone. The ORL and ZCL ligaments attach the orbicularis oculi muscle, together with the soft tissues located above it, to the facial skeleton.

Facial muscles, unlike most muscles of the body, are attached to the bones at one end and woven into the skin at the other. In the case of the orbicularis oculi muscle, the attachment to the facial skeleton under the lower eyelid occurs in 2 places at once:

widely - under the lower eyelid; short - closer to the edge of the zygomatic bone.

Bags under the eyes are formed exactly along the line of the ORL ligament, and zygomatic surfs - exactly along the line of the ZCL ligament.

It is quite obvious that no creams, masks or patches can affect spasmed muscles and displaced fat packets. Skin condition - yes, it can improve. But the root cause of the formation of bags will not go away. What to do? How to improve your appearance?

Prevention

If your skin is prone to the formation of cheekbones, you are afraid and do not want this defect to appear on you, then follow these rules:

limit the consumption of foods that cause swelling - salty, spicy, fatty foods;
give up bad habits;
drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily;
sleep at least 8 hours a day;
take a walk in the fresh air every day;
take vitamins;
control your weight;
engage in physical activity, sports - running, swimming, athletics, etc.;
massage your face regularly;
use quality cosmetics.

Knowing how to remove paint bags using folk remedies, you will not need to go to a plastic surgery clinic for expensive rejuvenation procedures.

Every woman can restore lost beauty and youth to her face and cope with cheekbone bags. To do this, you need to know what ways to heal your face, as well as what needs to be done to prevent this defect from appearing again.

Our useful tips, traditional medicine recipes, as well as a list of preventive measures - all this will definitely help you hide or remove such a problem as cheekbones.

Bags on the cheekbones reasons

Lymphatic drainage to get rid of excess fluid in tissues

After all the excess liquid leaves the problem area, for many people the sufas may disappear altogether. But this is the case if the sufas were formed only by stagnant “water”, then further you will only need prevention.

What does lymphatic drainage self-massage give:

1. Removes swelling and swelling (not hernias!)

2. Improves metabolism and microcirculation in tissues. This leads to increased skin elasticity and improved color.

3. Helps to form a youthful oval face.

Lymphatic drainage massage deals with two root causes of the formation of sufs at once:

stops gravitational ptosis
eliminates stagnant fluid in tissues

You can learn how to get rid of swelling and start lymph flow by following the link

I recommend this Asahi lymphatic drainage massage technique to my clients and subscribers. Morning and evening when washing.

I also recommend a video treatment for puffiness under the eyes

Very important: never do lymphatic drainage massage if you feel like you are starting to get sick. Do massage only when you are healthy!

Traditional medicine against bags under the eyes and on the cheekbones

If you are worried about bruises under the eyes and zygomatic hernias, you can try to bring your face back to normal using folk remedies. Of course, there is no need to expect supernatural results; the problem can be completely eliminated only by plastic surgery. But it is quite possible to make your skin more elastic at home. We offer a selection of proven traditional medicine recipes, compresses and masks for removing excess fluid from the tissues on the face:

Potato compress . Take 1 raw potato and grate it. Apply the mixture to the cheekbones and puffy areas under the eyes and hold it on the face for 20 minutes. The compress prevents the appearance of wrinkles.
Cucumber mask . Cut the cucumber into thin slices and apply them to the swelling. Exposure time is from 20 minutes to 40 minutes.
Milk compress . Take pieces of gauze or cotton pads and soak them in cold milk. Then apply them to problem areas of your face. Milk can be replaced with yogurt or curdled milk. The compress should be kept for 10-15 minutes.
Vitamin compress . Vitamin E, used externally, does a good job of treating dark circles under the eyes and bags. To do this, take 1 teaspoon of water and add a few drops of vitamin E from the ampoule. Soak cotton pads in the vitamin solution and apply them to the cheekbones and area under the eyes for 10-15 minutes.
Tea bag compresses. The procedure will require 2 tea bags, which we usually throw away after brewing tea. Tea bags should be cooled and applied to the eyes. The compress helps restore a fresh look to tired eyes and eliminates swelling.

Cosmetic patches will help reduce swelling on the cheekbones . However, the Chinese decongestant has a short-term effect.

Sometimes the zygomatic bags consist not only of fatty tissue, but also of excess fluid accumulated in them. In this case, the use of diuretics .

Never use diuretics without reading the instructions! The drug has serious contraindications.

To reduce swelling on the cheekbones, you can use ready-made pharmaceutical preparations : Troxevasin, heparin ointment and others. Use anti-edema gels and ointments with caution, having done a preliminary test for sensitivity and allergic reactions. These drugs eliminate puffiness well and restore a fresh look to the face. Avoid applying medications too close to your eyes.

The pharmaceutical drug "Solcoseryl", used in cosmetology as an anti-wrinkle remedy, can reduce swelling on the cheekbones. Apply the product using patting movements with your fingertips, in a thin layer, only to the area of the paint bags.

Massage to relax the orbicularis oculi muscle

Subcutaneous fat is the main value for maintaining a youthful face. Her loss is almost irreplaceable. Moreover, if this fat was lost as a result of too active gymnastics for the face (this is why I am categorically against “exercises for the facial muscles”), then to some extent it can still be restored.

But if fat is removed surgically or as a result of a sudden weight loss of many kg, it is unlikely that it will be replenished.

To relax the orbicularis oculi muscle, use self-massage.

You need to close your eyes and place your fingers tightly under your eyebrows, pressing them into your eye sockets. Do not put pressure on the eyeball. Using sliding movements, move your fingers from the inner corner of the eyebrow to the outer corner. Repeat several times.

Chinese massage. If you are not lazy and use this technique, you can achieve lasting results.

Shiatsu technique. Place your fingers along the lower line of the eye socket and hold for 7 seconds. Now we place it on the upper line of the eye socket and also hold it for 7 seconds. The pressure should be quite strong, but under no circumstances do we put pressure on the eyeball! Only on the bones themselves.

This technique gives a literally instant effect, you can feel the relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle.

DIPROSPAN IN COSMETOLOGY AGAINST ZYKHYGMOUS BAGS

And, of course, representatives of the fair sex strive to get rid of zygomatic hernias. Causes of occurrence. Sufas can be a congenital or acquired facial feature.

DIPROSPAN IN COSMETOLOGY AGAINST ZYKHYGMOUS BAGS

Injection blepharoplasty without surgery (Dermaheal Eyebag Solution, or peptide mesotherapy) is used in the early stages of defect development, but, unlike many of the above methods, it gives an excellent result. The essence of the procedure is that a special drug is injected into the area of the zygomatic hernia - a mixture of four types of peptides with different effects. Some of these substances reduce the amount of fat in the paint bag, but do not destroy the fat cells.

To eliminate sufas, two or three peptide mesotherapy procedures are sufficient, but many patients consider the effect of just one to be sufficient. The procedure must be performed by an experienced surgeon with good knowledge of facial anatomy. Check lifting with endotins (Cheek lift) is the latest development in cosmetic surgery.

The technique consists of simultaneous blepharoplasty and lifting of the zygomatic region using endoscopic equipment. Finally, the tissues are fixed with special plates - endotins, which are attached to the bones of the skull. Endotins are made from biopolymers, and they are absorbed within 6-9 months. At first, endotins fix facial tissues mechanically, but as they soften, substances are released that stimulate the development of strands of connective tissue. Thus, the effect of the operation remains for a long time: from 5 to 10 years!

Others restore skin tone by stimulating the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibers. Still others help remove excess fluid and increase the tone of the facial muscles. The fourth, finally, evens out the skin and removes fine wrinkles. The action of all these substances is completely safe for the body.

Sufas are especially striking in women with a wide face and small cheekbones. At the same time, in their peers with a narrow, high-cheekbone face, the paint bags can be completely unnoticeable, even into old age. Acquired zygomatic hernias can occur for several reasons: swelling of the face of inflammatory origin (sufas consisting of adipose tissue actively retain water, increasing in size), sudden weight loss with thinning of the subcutaneous fat in the eye area (at the same time the lacrimal cavity deepens, visually highlighting fat bags on the cheekbones). Methods of struggle.

If the surgeon makes a mistake, unevenness may form on the face. Important! For older patients, in whom the fat layer on the face is already thinning on its own, the administration of diprospan is contraindicated. Microliposuction is the suction of fat directly from the paint bag. Injury to adipose tissue leads to the development of fibrosis.

In addition, the procedure for biorevitalization of the periocular area, Botox injections into this area and any injections into the tear trough are contraindicated. The method for removing zygomatic hernias depends on the severity of the problem, the age of the patient, and the condition of his skin. Therefore, the patient’s wishes are, of course, taken into account, but only a plastic surgeon can choose the correct treatment method.

Congenital sacs are an individual feature of the facial structure, invisible in youth due to elastic, firm skin and good tone of the facial muscles. But with age, skin and muscle tone decreases, fat bags gradually slide down and sag on the cheekbones. However, not everyone has the same expression.

They are injected in small volumes onto the periosteum of the zygomatic bone. As a temporary measure, this inexpensive procedure is quite worthwhile. Injections of diprospan (a long-acting hormonal drug) are used only in young patients. The drug injected into the painting bag stimulates the resorption of fat, the volume of the hernia decreases. However, the use of this method requires great precision in the administration of the hormone and careful calculation of the dose.

The paint bags, returned to their natural position, become completely invisible. The check-lifting operation is performed with intravenous anesthesia. Surgical access is made through the lower eyelid, along the edge of the eyelash line. The forming scar is almost invisible, and in order to completely remove it, a month later it is possible to perform laser resurfacing of the skin of the eyelids. Before and after. General recommendations for the appearance of paint bags. If sufas have begun to form on your cheekbones, then in order to slow down their development, you need to: give up the habit of drinking tea (water, any liquid) before bed, stop drinking alcoholic beverages (beer is especially harmful).

Laser thermolifting ensures the destruction of lipid cells and improves the outflow of fluid from the problem area. As a result of the procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and visually masks the sufas. Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is more effective. Ultrasonic heating strengthens the connective tissue that supports the skin, which prevents the paint bags from sagging. The introduction of fillers (endoprostheses) under the zygomatic hernia eliminates the fold between the suf and the cheek. Dense gels based on hyaluronic acid or other drugs are used as fillers.

Painting bags on cheekbones - how to get rid of them? A face with paint bags on the cheekbones takes on a sad and even gloomy expression. True, a smile masks this cosmetic defect and makes the sufas almost invisible. But even the most cheerful person cannot smile all the time!

On many sites you can read that removing sufas is easy and simple: lymphatic drainage massage, sea salt compresses, lotions with herbal decoctions, eye gymnastics... Unfortunately, all these measures have only a minor, temporary effect, and only in the initial stages of formation zygomatic hernias. Methods of temporary influence. More effective at the same initial stages of the process and, moreover, in young patients, are such methods of combating paint bags as radiofrequency exposure, microcurrent therapy, thread lifting, laser thermolifting, ultrasonic SMAS lifting, injection of fillers, diprospan injections, microliposuction. Radiofrequency exposure (ablative, with the rejection of part of the epithelial cells or non-ablative) is essentially a thermolifting procedure with intense heating of the soft tissues of the face. Exposure to microcurrents (an option - beauty therapy) is carried out in courses and helps reduce skin looseness. Thread lifting comes down to strengthening problem areas of the skin by introducing short threads made of synthetic material - polydiaxanone. Such reinforcement of the skin is more preventive than therapeutic in nature.

As a result, the zygomatic hernia becomes denser, ceases to attract water and swells. The technique is usually used in combination with blepharoplasty or other aesthetic surgery procedures. Methods of radical removal. And only three procedures can radically rid you of paint bags: Blepharoplasty. Non-surgical injection blepharoplasty (Dermaheal Eyebag Solution).

Check lifting with endotins (Cheek lift) – surgical intervention. Blepharoplasty is a surgical operation that has a number of contraindications. The recovery period after the intervention takes about two weeks. The paint bags will be removed permanently.

Then - a stroking movement - from the outer corner of the eye - to the nose (under the lower eyelid) and from the inner corner of the eye - to the outer (along the upper eyelid). Repeat 5-7 times. Movements are slow, without strong pressure or displacement of the skin.

Reasons for the formation of sufs

The problem occurs for a number of quite different reasons.

Individual anatomical nuances

Bags under the eyes may well be hereditary. If the first signs of the appearance of paint bags are detected, and older generations in the family have them, then it is necessary to urgently begin preventive care. Taking the problem seriously helps to minimize the formation of sofas on the cheekbones.

Reception Rubbing from Sanford Bennett

Sanford published rubbing techniques in Old Age, Its Causes and Prevention in 1912. With the help of rubbing, you can restore and level out subcutaneous fat tissue, and therefore correct subcutaneous fat packets.

The technique is performed with 2 fingers: thumb and index finger or index and middle finger, place them so that the paint bag is between the fingers.

We slightly stretch our fingers in different directions and between them we begin to rub the skin with the index finger of the other hand, perpendicular to the fingers that slightly hold the skin of the sufa stretched.

You can also do a rubbing technique: for example, create a fold with two index fingers and rub the skin with them until it slips out. It’s like we’re gently “sawing” the skin with our index fingers.

Don't try too hard and do too many repetitions. It is enough to walk once along each massage line from the middle of the face to the outer edge. Perform 1 or 2 times a week, depending on the initial condition of the skin and subcutaneous fat.
