Lipofilling around the eyes

The body's natural aging processes cannot be stopped. The effect of time is most noticeable on the skin, especially the face, neck, hands. Due to the peculiarities of facial expressions, the area around the eyes is one of the most sensitive to negative external and internal influences. Wrinkles, dark circles, depressions, drooping of the upper eyelid give the face a tired, sunken expression, add age. Modern methods of aesthetic medicine: lipofilling of the upper and lower eyelids, correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus, blepharoplasty help to cope with such deficiencies in a minimally traumatic and affordable cost.

Correction of the area around the eyes - lipofilling

The eyelid lipofilling procedure is an alternative option for injecting other fillers. For this, the required amount of adipose tissue is taken from the patient's donor area (abdomen, thighs, knees), cleaned and transferred to the desired area. Providing volume, correcting asymmetry, removing aesthetic defects.

The fact is that your own fat contains a large number of stem cells, which have a positive effect on all nearby tissues. Therefore, in addition to the visual correction of volumes, a pronounced anti-age effect is observed. The skin is smoothed, its tone is leveled, the texture is improved.

The advantage of the operation is that the process involves the patient's personal fat cells (adipocytes), which negates the risks of allergies, rejection and other negative consequences.

Simultaneously with the correction of the periocular zone, lipofilling of the cheekbones can be done, which will give clarity and expression to facial features at a reasonable price.

What are the indications and contraindications for manipulation?

In Ukraine, everyone who has reached the age of 18 can use the services of a plastic surgeon. A fairly gentle lipofilling procedure is recommended for the following symptoms:

• mimic wrinkles and crow's feet in the corners of the eyes;
• sagging skin of the lower and upper eyelids as a result of age-related changes or personal characteristics;
• bruising and dark circles under the eyes due to protruding venous network and thinning of adipose tissue;
• pronounced nasolacrimal groove;
• asymmetry of the eyelids;
• unaesthetic bags and hollows under the eyes, caused by the migration of adipose tissue, sudden weight loss and other factors.

Like any surgical intervention, correction with a fat autograft has its own contraindications:

• the period of pregnancy and feeding of the child;
• inflammation of the skin in the area of ​​the operation;
• feverish state of the body with fever;
• oncology of any etiology;

In any case, before signing up for the procedure itself, you must consult a plastic surgeon at the clinic in Poltava. Which accepts patients from Kiev, Kharkov and other cities of the country. After examination, the doctor will determine the areas of material sampling and correction. It will also answer the question - how much does the intervention cost?

Eyelid lipofilling - how is the procedure?

A few days before the manipulation, you need to stop taking blood-thinning drugs, limit smoking and alcohol. To reduce the stress on the liver and cardiovascular system, it is usually done under local anesthesia. Moreover, there is no need for general anesthesia, since, in the process, the tissues are minimally injured.

Conditionally, plastic surgery of the area around the eyes can be divided into the following stages:

1. Cleaning and antiseptic treatment of the operating area.
2. Marking by the doctor of the selected areas of influence.
3. Administration of anesthetic.
4. Removal of fat cells using a special needle (cannula). To correct the eyelids, fat is taken from the umbilical region on the abdomen in a small amount (10-20 ml.). Since it is most rich in hormones.
5. Purification of the collected adipose tissue in a centrifuge.
6. The introduction of a purified fat emulsion in small doses so as not to damage blood vessels and nerve endings.

According to the reviews of patients who have undergone surgery, it does not last more than an hour and does not cause severe discomfort. On the same day, you can go home.

Potential risks and rehabilitation

The safest and most minimally invasive procedure does not require long-term rehabilitation. However, it is still there. Within 2-3 weeks it is recommended:

• reduce physical activity, sports;
• do not go to baths, solariums, saunas;
• less exposure to the sun;
• do not use cosmetics;
• do not take hot baths.

Reviews indicate that swelling and bruising are possible in the eyelid area, which disappear in 2-3 days on their own. If you do not adhere to the doctor's recommendations, some complications may arise:

• inflammation in the injection area;
• infection;
• the graft may be unevenly distributed.

However, thanks to the use of the patient's autologous fat, which quickly and efficiently takes root, the risk of severe side effects tends to zero. The result is noticeable immediately and becomes pronounced after a month - an open, fresh, youthful look.
