Correction of the nasolacrimal groove

The formation of the palpebromal sulcus begins closer to 30 years. Among the common reasons for its appearance are thinning of the subcutaneous fat in the area under the eyes and a genetic predisposition. The face takes on a more tired, "drooping" look, as the skin begins to sag.

You can remove the nasolacrimal sulcus by injecting a filler into this area. Such a correction allows you to fill the lack of subcutaneous fat and return the face to a more youthful appearance. Filling with filler evens out the skin under the eyes and rejuvenates the look, and the procedure itself receives positive reviews.

What are the indications and contraindications for the procedure?

As with any face contouring procedure, there are indications for the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus. In this case, the service is recommended when:

• darkening appeared under the eyes;
• the skin sagged under the eyes;
• vascular network appeared in this area.

There is no age limit from which to start filling the palpebromal sulcus with filler. Registration for this service is available to all girls who have reached the age of majority.

Nevertheless, there are a number of contraindications for such contouring. Among them:

• the presence of fatty hernias of the lower eyelids;
• elastosis;
• an infectious disease in this area;
• history of administration of silicone or drugs of unspecified origin to the infraorbital zone.

It is also worth postponing the appointment for the procedure at an elevated temperature, pregnancy or SARS.

Preparation and implementation of correction

As a filler for the correction of the nasolacrimal gland, either a lipofiller or hyaluronic acid preparations are used. After the choice is made and the method of administration of the drug, the preparatory stage begins. It includes:

1. Facial cleansing;
2. Marking the zone into which the injection will be made;
3. The introduction of local anesthesia - most often it is a cream.
4. Wait 20 minutes for the anesthetic to work.

The process itself lasts about an hour, during which the drug is gradually injected with a cannula into the previously marked area. This does not happen with one injection, but in small doses along a pre-drawn line. After that, the skin is gently massaged, thus contributing to a more even distribution of the filler.

What to expect after the procedure?

After correction, due to injections, a small edema appears, which disappears after a few days. This is normal and you can speed up your rehabilitation by applying cold to the correction area.

During the recovery period, you must adhere to some restrictions:

• avoid high temperatures and humidity, for example, in saunas and baths;
• refuse scrubs and any abrasive facial procedures;
• give up spicy and very hot foods.

Compliance with these rules for ten days will prevent complications that may arise after the procedure. Complications can manifest themselves both as slight discomfort and as complex and dangerous conditions, therefore, it is worth taking responsibly to comply with the rules of the recovery period.

Possible common complications:

• swelling or bruising;
• allergic reactions;
• feeling of dry eyes;
• infectious diseases of the eyes and skin under them;
• filler rolling during its migration;

Our doctors know how to minimize the likelihood of complications. However, the success of the procedure also depends on adhering to the restrictions after it. These ten days of the recovery phase will allow you to consolidate the good results, which are usually noticeable immediately after the procedure.

Correction results

The first thing that patients are interested in after they find out how much the procedure costs is the result of the procedure and the durability of the effect. The result of the correction appears immediately after filling the area with filler through the cannula, but it is finally possible to assess the effect after the recovery period, which should protect against complications.

If you follow all the rules of skin care after the procedure, you will see smoothing of the palpebromal sulcus, smoothing of the skin relief under the eyes and improvement of its elasticity.

How much does a nasolacrimal groove correction cost?

The cost of the procedure is calculated depending on the selected drug and its dose. Prices for drugs are indicated on the website, and the final cost, taking into account the price of the cannula and filler, will be calculated for consultation.
