Why do hernias appear under the eyes and is it possible to get rid of them without surgery?

Those who do not follow a sleep schedule, abuse alcohol and do not adhere to a healthy diet , bags appear under the eyes with age. This problem also affects quite young people. But sometimes such swelling and swelling occurs even in people leading a healthy lifestyle .

In such cases, you should pay more attention to this symptom, since these may not be easily removable bags, but fatty hernias, which are much more difficult to get rid of.

Symptoms

Hernias under the eyes can be recognized by the following signs:

• decreased visual acuity;
• increased lacrimation;
• swollen areas of skin under the eyes do not decrease or increase during the day or when drinking large amounts of water;
• the skin of the eyelids, under which hernias form, takes on a bluish or reddish, plum color;
• the vascular network may more or less appear on the skin of the eyelids.

such hernias also form above the eye - then from the outside it seems that the person’s eye shape is reduced and the swelling affects the periocular area in a circle.

Keep in mind! For the vast majority of people, this problem appears only under the eyes.

How is surgery without stitches possible?

The secret to correcting the lower eyelids without applying suture material is to work from the inside of the eyelid - through the conjunctiva of the eyes. The conjunctiva is the thin membrane that lines the back of the eyelids and the eyeball. The surgeon makes an incision not on the skin, as happens during classic blepharoplasty, but from the mucous membrane. The wound is very thin. The eyelid serves as a natural barrier to prevent infection.

No visible traces of intervention remain. This is the main advantage of this technique.

How to distinguish hernias under the eyes from swelling?

Know! A person can make sure that there are indeed fatty deposits under the eyelid independently at home.

It is enough to press your finger on your closed eye - and you will be able to see with your other eye or feel how the bags under the eyes harden, swell and noticeably increase in size.

Also, a person himself can feel how a feeling of skin tension is created due to sagging.

Another reason to suspect a hernia is the fact that there are no ophthalmological diseases .

At the same time, the daily routine, diet and the amount of stress and nervous shocks have recently remained unchanged and there are no physiological prerequisites for the development of bags and swelling.

Cosmetological methods for correcting fat bags

Wellness center Face&Body specialists successfully correct bags under the eyes using injection techniques:

• mesotherapy and biorevitalization;
• contour plastic surgery.

Mesotherapy . The essence of the procedure is the introduction under the skin of drugs that relieve swelling in the periorbital area and increase skin turgor. Most of these drugs contain drugs with lymphatic drainage action as active substances.

Face&Body cosmetologists work with the new generation biorevitalizant MesoEye C71™, which, in addition to hyaluronic acid, includes the PeriOrbital peptide complex. Its task is to activate lymph circulation in the periorbital zone and reduce vascular permeability. Biorevitalization with MesoEye C71™ is effective for severe swelling of the face and gives long-term results. Lymphatic drainage massage helps to strengthen and prolong the effect of the procedure.

Contour plastic . This correction method involves camouflaging the bags by changing the texture of the skin around them. To do this, fillers (again based on hyaluronic acid) are injected into the nasolacrimal and eyelid buccal grooves. They even out the relief between the cheek and the fat packet, making the latter invisible. Face&Body cosmetologists work with fillers from popular brands: Yvoire, Juvederm, Belotero, etc., which have proven themselves best in correcting bags under the eyes.

Causes

Need to know! The causes of the formation of infraorbital hernias can be:

• severe and/or frequent stress and nervous exhaustion;
• genetic predisposition;
• constant long-term exposure to the sun;
• hormonal disorders in the body;
• large lacunae due to the atypical structure of the skull;
• constant consumption of large amounts of salt, fats and smoked foods;
• smoking and frequent drinking;
• work associated with constant strain on the visual organs;

How to remove: methods of treatment and elimination

Modern medicine and cosmetology offer several different ways to get rid of hernias under the eyes without surgery or surgical treatment .

Stay up to date! Depending on the severity and age of the patient, they will be more or less effective.

But experts warn: the only truly effective method of treatment will be surgical removal .

All other methods can only hide the problem, stop the development of hernias or eliminate them partially.

Surgery

Elimination of hernias surgically is possible only through blepharoplasty , which is performed in two ways : scalpel and transconjunctival.
In the first case, general anesthesia is used, after which an incision is made with a scalpel along the edge of the eyelashes of the lower eyelid .

How to prepare for surgery

Before lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty, the patient prepares according to the standard scenario.

Tests to be taken

• Clinical blood test
• Biochemical blood test (total protein, urea, creatinine, bilirubin (total), ALT, AST, glucose, potassium, sodium)
• Coagulogram (INR, prothrombin, bleeding time, clotting time)
• Blood test for RW (syphilis), HIV
• Hbc
• antigen+anti HCV (hepatitis B, C)
• Blood group, Rh factor
• General urine analysis
• ECG (electrocardiogram) with interpretation

It is advisable not to perform sutureless blepharoplasty during menstruation. The amount of bruising may increase.

Prevention measures

It is impossible to completely prevent the formation of hernias under the eyes.

Remember! But you can prevent their rapid development by following these preventive recommendations:

• from time to time wipe your face with ice cubes , for the preparation of which it is better to use not water, but decoctions of medicinal herbs;
• avoid abuse of alcohol, fatty, smoked and spicy foods and, if possible, quit smoking;
• go to bed on time and not disturb the established daily routine;
• Regularly take at least half an hour walks to improve the overall tone of the body.

PREPARATION FOR PROCEDURES, REHABILITATION

No special preparation is required for cosmetic procedures. You should follow your doctor’s recommendations and avoid overheating the skin in saunas, spa treatments, solariums, etc.

Before eliminating the problem, it is important to reduce eye strain as much as possible and not use irritating cosmetics. It is highly undesirable to drink alcohol and smoke. These measures will also contribute to speedy rehabilitation.

Preparation for blepharoplasty involves the need to undergo tests and consult doctors.

Rehabilitation after non-invasive treatment is based solely on the recommendations of a cosmetologist. The doctor will most likely advise you to refuse:

• from exposure to (long-term) ultraviolet rays;
• protect your eyes with sunglasses;
• apply moisturizing creams to the skin;
• do not use scrubs or peeling.

Reviews from people about hernia removal

“
At the age of 47 , when I had noticeable bags under my eyes , I immediately decided to have surgery. Because, firstly, I have the money for this, and secondly, I don’t believe in cosmetics that only hide such defects.

Before the operation, I underwent examinations , during which it turned out that I had fatty hernias .

operation did not eliminate them completely, but they are now much smaller .”

Tatiana Zabolotskaya, Pyatigorsk.

“ Hernias under my were removed three years ago under local anesthesia.

Despite such anesthesia, the sensations were very unpleasant, but I was satisfied with the result : at my age it is difficult to count on an ideal result, but the hernia was removed almost completely .

of them is a painful bluish color , but bringing it back to normal is a less complicated procedure.”

Marina Oshanina, 48 years old.
“I
had a difficult time undergoing blepharoplasty to remove infraorbital hernias : local anesthesia did not provide complete pain relief. Therefore, during the operation, which lasted an hour and a half, I experienced very unpleasant and at times painful sensations.

But overall, I was satisfied with the result , and although the skin doesn’t look like it did in my youth, at least now I don’t have those huge bags .”

Sofia Bashkeeva, Kazan.

Under general anesthesia or local anesthesia?

I always perform this operation under general anesthesia.

I have repeatedly heard from my patients about surgeons who limit themselves to local anesthesia during facial plastic surgery.

Personally, I consider this type of anesthesia impossible due to the technical features of the procedure. During sutureless lower eyelid surgery, the surgeon retracts the lower eyelid with a special tool. This manipulation may cause anxiety in the patient, since sensitivity to actions remains during local anesthesia. Any reaction of the patient can affect the actions of the doctor. One inaccurate movement and the result can be ruined.

Injection therapy

With the help of injections, the body starts the natural production of elastane, collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for the youth and elasticity of the skin. The injections are well tolerated by all patients.

Many women prefer plasma lifting , when injections are made with the patient's own plasma. Biomaterial is obtained from blood and infused into the desired areas of the face.

Mesotherapy – vitamins and other useful components are injected into the infraorbital area. Microneedling therapy instructs skin cells to produce their own collagen and elastin.

If the above remedies do not help, then surgery will help. Among radical methods of combating this defect in appearance, blepharoplasty . Many people who have experienced this method claim that fat deposits are removed quickly, almost painlessly. After surgery, to prevent swelling, it is necessary to do the above-described gymnastics.

Blepharoplasty is considered the only method by which hernias are removed completely and permanently.

See what women look like after getting rid of swelling.

Other folk remedies have a beneficial effect.

1. Place fresh cucumber slices on your eyes.
2. Make potato masks. Grate the potatoes, wrap the mixture in gauze, and place under your eyes for 15 minutes. When preparing mashed potatoes, also wrap the cooled mashed potatoes in cheesecloth, then place them under your eyes. These are the most effective remedies for bags.
3. Excellent egg white mask. Beat the egg white into a thick foam, add 2-3 drops of an astringent - liquid witch hazel extract - into it. It can perfectly tighten thin skin. Apply the mask with a soft sponge and wash off after the protein mass has completely dried.
4. Strawberries, aloe leaf juice and tea bags will help reduce swelling. Cut the strawberries into slices and immediately apply to the eyes for 5-10 minutes, cut the aloe leaf lengthwise and apply to the problem area. A simple tea bag mask gives the most positive results. Apply the sachets directly from the cup to the desired areas.
5. An effective method is to apply mashed parsley leaves, which also have a tightening effect.

You cannot cope with this problem without massage and gymnastics.

Massage daily with the pads of your fingers from the bridge of the nose along the upper eyelid and from the outer corner of the eye along the lower. For the best effect, don't forget to apply eye cream. The duration of the massage is at least 3-5 minutes.

Cold spoons will help tighten the skin under the eyes and improve blood circulation. Place the spoons in the refrigerator, then apply them to the areas that need tightening. If you dip them in cold herbal infusions, the result will be even more noticeable. The reviews from these procedures are the most enthusiastic!

From personal experience

Gymnastics for the eye muscles gives amazing results. Do it twice a day and you will soon see it. Exercises can be done during commercials while watching TV shows, before bed and in the morning after sleep. Do gymnastics regularly and you will definitely do without surgery.
