Eye plastic procedures

Over time with the lack of skincare, many wrinkles and sagging around the eye may appear, which significantly hide the beauty of the eye. Here comes the role of eye plastic procedures to remove all those impurities that disturb our beauty and affect its luster.

Among the most famous cases in which people may perform eye plastic procedures are the following:

• saggy eyelids.

• The spread of wrinkles in an observable way around the eyes.

• The presence of fatty bags in or around the eye.

• Bulging eyes.

• Sunken eyes.

• Eyebrows falling out, giving the appearance of an older age.

• Dark circles around the eyes.

• Aiming to improve vision and general eye appearance, widen the eye, or change the color of the eyes.

Eye plastic techniques are divided into surgical and non-surgical techniques. 

1- Botox injection: It is a non-surgical technique used to raise eyebrows and get rid of any sagging above the eye without surgery. The result is removing sagging and getting a youthful appearance to the forehead by weakening the forehead muscles that naturally impede their movement in just 10 minutes. The result lasts from 4 to 6 months or depending on the nature of each case.

2- Filler injection: It is an injection that contains hyaluronic acid in its composition, which fills the eyes and removes any wrinkles that may have occurred due to weight loss, and its results last for about a year.

3- Mesotherapy injection: It is an injection that contains some vitamins and substances that dissolve fat around the eye and get rid of its sagging, or any of the fatty masses that give it a bad appearance.

4- Laser: This is used in eye plastic techniques and removal of birthmarks and skin tags. It also helps to get rid of fatty cysts caused by hypercholesterolemia or diabetes.
