Anti-aging blepharoplasty of the eyelids without the effect of the operated face

3. Lipofilling of the upper and lower eyelids in Moscow

Lipofilling of the upper and lower eyelids can be widely used as an independent operation. Lipofilling of the eyelids will correct

• A-shaped deformation of the upper eyelids
• failed blepharoplasty
• tear trough
• bruises under the eyes
• lower eyelid hernia

With age, the layer of adipose tissue in the eyelid area becomes noticeably thinner, and the fat itself migrates and becomes deformed. Achieving the desired result in the shortest possible time, with a minimum rehabilitation period and with low risks and complications is the task that the patient sets for us. This may be why lipofilling of the face and, in particular, the eyelids is becoming increasingly popular. After all, lipofilling can meet all these requirements.

How to get flawlessly youthful eyes for 10 years or more

You are probably considering blepharoplasty. Choose a surgeon and clinic.

You've probably already read that eye rejuvenation usually involves removing excess skin in the upper and lower eyelids, as well as fatty hernias that give the effect of bags under the eyes.

You have already been promised that a youthful look will delight you for 7-10 years...

Unfortunately, this is false information.

Firstly , in a smoking and nervous metropolis, the result of classical eyelid surgery lasts no more than 5.

Secondly , few people know that the technique of performing classical blepharoplasty was finally formed by 1950 and has undergone virtually no changes since then!

What you should know about your own fat

Let this paragraph be a fly in the ointment, but I consider it my duty to warn patients about the difficulties that fat rejuvenation poses. My approach is true.

1. Biodegradation (resorption) of transplanted fat. This is an absolutely normal recovery process. Some cells do not take root and seem to “go away”. Therefore, the patient may require re-correction.
2. Asymmetry. Consequence of tissue resorption. The volume decreases somewhat and there is a risk that this will not happen evenly. It can also be corrected by repeated correction.
3. Irregularities on the skin . This can be for two reasons: fibrosis (when adipose tissue is replaced by connective fibers) or the formation of fatty cysts (when a very large volume of biomaterial is introduced).
4. Fat migration . Fat moves and collects in compacted areas - oleogranulomas.

I publish this information not with the goal of “dissuading” from surgical intervention, but to understand the seriousness of the operation and a thorough approach to choosing a clinic and specialist! I repeat: rejuvenation with lipofilling is an operation with all the attendant nuances.

The trust of celebrity patients is one of the best proofs of the “couture” level of skill

Let’s not hide that Platinental surgeons trust their eyes to celebrities and politicians.

We are somehow accustomed to the fact that all stars undergo plastic surgery. But we rarely think that they are not only the most demanding patients. They are also the busiest. Their filming and touring schedule is planned 3-5 years in advance .

Due to lack of time and the nature of the profession, such patients always make 2 strict demands:

1. the operation should take place without complications and have the shortest possible recovery period,
2. the operation must provide a long-term result and be done as rarely as possible, because forced downtime can easily ruin a career.

And the stars of politics and business present one more thing.

They are not eager to make public the fact of the anti-aging procedures performed. Therefore, the operations that we perform at Platinental provide the most natural result without the effect of an operated face. Everything looks as if the person began to lead a healthy lifestyle and gets enough sleep regularly .

We are pleased to offer all these technologies to you.

Iskornev Andrey, plastic surgeon.

Eyes are the main factor of attractiveness. They determine how sociable you are, what mood you are in, what mood you are in, whether you are flirtatious or strict, analytical or, conversely, prone to adventurism.

The harmony of the eyes, like all facial features, has its own rules, but the degree of “deviation” from the conventional norm can be much greater than with the shape of the lips, nose or chin.

Despite this, there are strict rules:

— The contour of the lower eyelid should touch the lower border of the iris, otherwise the eyes look round, “fishy”, this is how the eyelid of an elderly person looks. That is why lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a special science, and only a few surgeons are concerned about the stability of the eyelid shape after such an operation.

Regular and fisheye

— The outer corner of the eye should be 2-3mm higher than the inner one. This creates the effect of an almond-shaped eyelid, which on a woman’s face emphasizes the artistry and sexuality of nature.

Regular and almond-shaped eyes

- There should be a small roll of muscle under the lower eyelid (pretarsal roll of the lower eyelid). This should definitely be taken into account when planning lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The surgeon must be able to model this roll of muscle to highlight the youthful shape of the eyelid and the natural result of rejuvenation.”

The pretarsal ridge of the lower eyelid on Kate Middleton, Emma Watts and the model from the Christian Dior show certainly speaks of their youth.

Benefits of lipofilling

The main advantage is that only the patient’s own fat cells are used for transplantation. And this eliminates the possibility of rejection, allergic reactions and other complications associated with the introduction of foreign products into the body. Other advantages of lipofilling include:

• lasting results after 1.5-2 months after complete engraftment of cells (according to statistics, 70-80% of transplanted tissues engraft forever);
• beautiful proportional contour;
• if desired and aesthetically necessary, the procedure can be repeated;
• Using the technique of transplanting your own fat cells, you can not only increase your shape, but also at the same time get rid of excess fat deposits in problem areas.

Lipofilling is often combined with plastic surgery. This combination allows you to get the most natural rejuvenation result. And if you want not only to restore volume to the tissues, but also to significantly improve the quality of the skin, you can combine the technology of lipofilling with nanolipofilling - in this case, the procedure will not only restore the visual attractiveness of the face, but will also have a powerful rejuvenating effect literally at the cellular level.

Seamless blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids

Typically, to perform a classic upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid and carefully removes excess skin.

The art of the surgeon in this case:

• remove as much as needed. No more and no less
• make the seam as invisible as possible and hide it exactly in a natural fold.

And only a few know that in 3 out of 4 cases, an incision on the eyelid can be omitted . Especially in young patients.

Often the cause of excess skin on the upper eyelids is drooping eyebrows. Classic blepharoplasty in this case can greatly aggravate the ptosis and sharply outline the contours of the eye sockets.

Therefore, at Platinental we offer endoscopic brow lift as an alternative to blepharoplasty. It simultaneously allows you to 1) “open your eyes”, 2) remove the overhang of the skin fold of the upper eyelid and 3) model the shape of the eyebrows.

To obtain an even more pronounced and long-lasting result, eyebrow lifting and correction is performed using absorbable implants - endotins.

This three-in-one approach allows you to avoid 100% stitches on the eyes and provides a much more pronounced and long-lasting result.

The effect of the procedure is impressive. See for yourself:

Preparation for lipofilling of the area around the eyes

At the preparatory stage, the patient must notify the doctor about the peculiarities of his lifestyle. Based on the information received, if necessary, the specialist makes recommendations on its correction, in particular, if you have bad habits, it is recommended to reduce the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, and when taking medications, exclude drugs that prevent blood clotting. At this stage, a technique appropriate to the problem being solved is selected, the scope of work and the donor zone are determined.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty

During classic blepharoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision under the eyelash line. Its task is to eliminate excess skin and remove hernias, which create the effect of puffy eyes.

If there is no excess skin, a minimally invasive operation is performed to remove the bags - the so-called transconjunctival blepharoplasty without external incisions. An incision is made on the inside of the eye, through which the fat sac will be removed. The advantage of transconjunctival blepharoplasty is the absence of a visible scar on the face after healing.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty at Platinental is performed differently. As a rule, simultaneously with a low-traumatic cheek lift. This technique is called Cheek lift light.

Cheek lift techniques are varied.

• you can fill the area of ​​the cheekbones and mid-face with your own fat (do lipofilling),
• You can lift the overhanging area of ​​the cheekbone with the absorbable Endotine device. Endotins in plastic surgery are also called biological face lifting, since endotin is absorbed 5-6 months after injection, but the tissue continues to be stretched.

In this case, no additional incisions are required - the entire procedure is carried out through an incision in the eyelash edge.

No other eye blepharoplasty gives such a result! Just imagine. Your new face without nasolacrimal grooves, the protruding contours of the eye sockets (the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek) are smoothed, the nasolabial folds magically disappear, the cheekbones return to the top and are filled with youthful volume. Your face glows with youth!

TOP 7 main indications for surgery

Globally, the use of the patient’s own fat solves two problems: modeling facial contours and rejuvenation.

• Chin augmentation and modeling
• Increasing the volume of the cheekbones
• Lip augmentation
• Filling nasolabial folds
• Lower eyelid correction
• Correction of facial asymmetry
• Scar correction

The age of the patient in this case does not matter. The condition of the tissue and objective indications for surgery are important to the specialist.

Laser blepharoplasty: young eyes should look wrinkle-free!

Contrary to popular myths, it is impossible to eliminate crow's feet using classic blepharoplasty.

For radical eye rejuvenation, we at Platinental combine surgery with light fractional laser eyelid peeling. Carbon dioxide laser allows you to make the skin more elastic after surgery, erase the relief of fine wrinkles and improve its color, especially for those who suffer from dark circles under the eyes.

Resurfacing is performed in the clinic simultaneously with the operation under TIVA anesthesia, so pain is excluded.

Bags or dark circles under the eyes occur not only due to pathology. Sometimes, after a party or drinking a lot of liquid at night, bags can appear in healthy people. These are fatty hernias of the lower eyelids.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty can help get rid of dark circles or bags under the eyes. Excess fat hernias are removed without visible incisions. As a result, the bags will disappear, and dark circles will not appear even after the New Year holidays.

Rehabilitation after the procedure

Since synthetic foreign substances are not used during lipofilling, and the technique itself has minimal trauma, the rehabilitation period does not exceed two weeks and requires compliance with only a small number of restrictions:

1. Do not use cosmetics.
2. Avoid active facial expressions.
3. Do not expose the surgical area to high or low temperatures, do not get it wet.
4. Reduce physical activity as much as possible.

Immediately after surgery, the patient is bothered by bruising, swelling and pain. These complications are permanent and do not require emergency care. In some cases, the surgeon may prescribe additional recovery techniques, such as massage, to speed up the healing process.

If the success of the operation largely depends on the skills of the surgeon, then the rehabilitation process lies on the shoulders of the patient. The specialist will give all the necessary recommendations that must be followed in full. If the condition is suffocating or any complications arise, you must consult a doctor as soon as possible, who will assess the situation and prescribe the necessary treatment.

Postoperative period

• Sutures are removed on days 2–6 after surgery.
• Day 7 – You can go to work.
• Bruising and swelling after blepharoplasty can last up to 10 days.
• During the first week, it is recommended to limit sports and dancing, sexual contacts, and refrain from cleaning, reading and watching television.
• Starting from day 8, you can use hypoallergenic decorative cosmetics.
• 14 days – it is forbidden to sunbathe in the sun or in a solarium.
• 21 days – it is not recommended to use contact lenses.
• 30 days - avoid hot showers, saunas, baths and swimming pools.
• For 3 months after surgery, you need to use sunglasses to protect from ultraviolet radiation.

Rehabilitation period after lipofilling

Rehabilitation after facial liposculpture is very comfortable and short. It can be characterized by slight swelling and hematomas in the area of ​​harvesting and implantation of adipose tissue for 6-8 days from the date of surgery. Final rehabilitation occurs after 4-6 weeks.

IMPORTANT!

1. Lipofilling has virtually no contraindications; your own fat is not rejected by the body and does not cause allergies, which makes the lipofilling procedure not only effective, but also safe.
2. The patient's adipose tissue is a real elixir of youth! Your own fat, restoring lost volumes, becomes an invaluable source of your own stem cells, which are of great importance for maintaining youthful skin.
3. Lipofilling is perfectly combined with any surgical methods of facial rejuvenation, allowing you to achieve the most natural and long-term rejuvenating effect.

Seams

Scars after blepharoplasty are no thicker than a “cat scratch” and are located strictly in natural folds.

For additional resorption, fractional laser resurfacing of the skin of the upper and lower eyelids is performed 1 month after surgery. As a result, the seam will not be visible even to the most experienced “best friends” without makeup.
