Unfortunately, facial skin changes are inevitable. Sooner or later, the girl or guy will have wrinkles, wrinkles, which require measures to eliminate them. In the central zone there is a nasolacrimal groove. Over time, it leads to the fact that the skin of the lower eyelid begins to sag. For a while, you can forget about this problem through the use of contouring. It involves the introduction of a gel based on hyaluronic acid under the skin.
The article describes which fillers for the nasolacrimal groove are used, how the procedure is performed, and how effective it is. In addition, complications after the procedure will be presented.
Causes of folding
Face skin over time becomes imperfect - this is normal. This is due to the features of facial muscles. A certain group of eye muscles is attached to the lower edge of the orbital foramen. Over time, the ligaments begin to stretch, and the skin loses firmness and elasticity. Because of this, a skin fold occurs.
This process is accelerated with constant fatigue, severe weight loss, bad habits, constant lack of sleep, poor skin care, diseases of the endocrine system.
If a person can put his lifestyle in order, begins to eat well and take care of the skin, then it is possible to slow down the process of folding, but sooner or later it will appear. If a person has noticed the first signs of aging, then you need to contact a cosmetologist.
Filler Benefits
To date, contour plastic has gained immense popularity. Because of this, plastic surgery has become relegated to the background. Thanks to the use of fillers in the nasolacrimal groove (reviews of the procedure will be described below), you can regain youth and fresh appearance without surgical intervention.
What are the benefits of cosmetologists?
Fillers even out the skin of the face, filling all wrinkles of any depth, the skin becomes elastic, it contracts to a normal state after stretching. Due to the fact that the fillers have hyaluronic acid, an allergic reaction does not occur. Because of this, they will not be rejected by the body. If the dosage is optimal, then under the skin the filler will not move and will be invisible. The effect lasts from 3 months to a year. During this time, hyaluronate is consumed by the body and resolves naturally. Thanks to the gel, the skin has excellent nutrition, which leads to an increase in the production of collagen and elastin. If the patient’s result is not satisfactory, you can introduce a special drug that will accelerate the resorption of the filler. This method of rejuvenation does not affect facial expressions and does not change facial features, unlike Botox or other procedures.
The speed with which the filler will dissolve in the nasolacrimal sulcus depends on the characteristics of the organism. If the skin is dry, then it will use a lot of hyaluronate for regeneration. Because of this, the filler will quickly resolve. In order for the effect to be lasting, you need to do mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid before the procedure.
Reviews of filler correction of the nasolacrimal groove are most often positive. Patients are satisfied with the effect and are advised to choose a certified certified clinic. If there are any problems, then they are probably caused by a cosmetologist's mistake.
Fillers for correction
Today, there are a large number of drugs that can restore facial skin. There are tools that are made on the basis of silicone. They are insoluble in the body. Biosynthetic fillers are similar in composition to the body. Sometimes a subcutaneous fat taken from a patient is used for the procedure.
Consider the five best quality fillers in the nasolacrimal groove. A photo of the effect after applying one of the drugs is presented below:
- Princess The filler is plastic, does not create clots. When creating it, they use special technology that gives the gel a uniform structure. It is viscous, so it does not spread. The drug is created by an Austrian manufacturer. In the company's lineup, most of the fillers are created from hyaluronic acid, in some, lidocaine is additionally added.
- Radiesse It provokes the creation of new collagen fibers. Consists of calcium hydroxyapatite. Due to this, the action of the gel lasts up to 18 months. This composition is prescribed, as a rule, to allergy sufferers. The rest of the mass consists of distilled water. The gel was created by an American company, but at the moment the rights to its production belong to a German concern.
- "Yuviderm 24". Thanks to the gel, you can create a clear contour, since the consistency of the drug is dense. The composition of the product includes hyaluron in high concentration. This acid has a non-animal origin, therefore, does not cause side effects after resorption. The tool with index 24 allows you to even out wrinkles, correct shallow facial recesses.
- Ivor. Elastic, based on hyaluronic acid. It is produced using microbiological fermentation. Due to this, the substance is fully compatible with human tissues. The cost of the drug ranges from 3 thousand to 7 thousand rubles. To eliminate the nasolacrimal fissure, the Classic series is used. Such a gel is viscous and has a sufficient acid content.
- Teosyal RHA 4. Its use does not affect the functioning of the facial muscles. It was created relatively recently on the basis of hyaluron. In some formulations, lidocaine is added. There is no allergy to this gel, it is not capable of migration and is easily leveled under the skin.
If you are not sure which drug should be used, then it is better to think about inserting a soluble filler into the nasolacrimal groove. If the procedure does not lead to the desired result, then you can use medical products that will help the gel dissolve quickly. In the case when the filler is made of silicone, after an unsuccessful attempt to rejuvenate the face, you will have to do the operation.
You can buy fillers for 1000-15000 rubles. There are gels that cost about 30 thousand rubles. The most expensive are new developments, which include collagen and hyaluron. But if all other funds can be bought independently, then such products are sold only to doctors.
The composition of fillers
Today, fillers are not practically used in the nasolacrimal groove, which are made of silicone. Such drugs can cope with the problem at a time, but if used improperly, with a poor result or complications, you will have to undergo surgery to get rid of the gel.
That is why doctors use only those products that are based on hyaluronic acid. Their durability ranges from several months to several years. Often collagen is added to the gel. It allows you to quickly remove swelling.
Due to this natural composition of the preparations, it is possible to minimize the consequences and avoid severe traumatic skin. However, before the procedure, it is better to check for drug intolerance. Otherwise, the insertion of fillers into the nasolacrimal grooves will lead to serious consequences. To maintain the skin texture, you have to do the procedure several times a year.
How is the procedure performed?
The introduction of a filler into the nasolacrimal groove does not require preliminary preparation. 10 days before the procedure, you do not need to use aggressive cosmetic products and sunbathe - this is the only requirement. If a person has an increased fragility of blood vessels, due to which bruises easily arise, then this should be said to the doctor. He will prescribe a remedy that must be drunk for a week. As a rule, doctors recommend taking pictures before and after so that the specialist can assess the situation: have the vessels recovered.
If the filler correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus, which is positive, does not affect other areas, the procedure will not take more than 10 minutes. However, by this time, preliminary preparation and anticipation of the effects of anesthetics should also be added. Therefore, a hospital stay will take about 2 hours.
How exactly is the procedure carried out? First, the cosmetologist will discuss with the patient, describe what results should be expected. After the examination is completed, the doctor will choose a filler. For this zone you need one that has an average gel density. Therefore, it is important that the drug has about 20 mg of hyaluronate. Then the skin is cleaned of impurities and cosmetics. Otherwise, you can make a tattoo of the skin due to the ingestion of dyes under it. The area that will be adjusted is outlined with a special pencil. This is necessary so that during the procedure, due to edema, it does not go astray and does not process the wrong zone. After this, a local anesthetic is applied. Special creams are used. The tool begins to act after half an hour. Injections are given along the previously indicated line. A small amount of gel is introduced, then it is distributed in a crease using zigzag movements. In some clinics, a cannula is used instead of a needle, since this method is considered slightly traumatic. Next, the master massages the gel a little to shape the gel and smooth out the transition points. This completes the filler filling procedure for the nasolacrimal sulcus.
Some manufacturers add lidocaine to the gel. In this case, the step of using anesthetic cream is skipped. But you need to keep in mind that the injection is done without pain relief, since lidocaine acts after administration. If a girl is afraid of injections, then it is worth asking a doctor to change the drug.
After the procedure, the doctor will make a special soothing mask. So you can avoid inflammation. Next, the master will tell you exactly how to care for the skin. After this, the procedure for correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers is considered completed.
The final result can be estimated only after a week and a half. This is due to the fact that after contouring, the epidermis may not react very well. In order to bring the skin to perfection, doctors recommend that after a couple of weeks again they go to them. The specialist will evaluate the situation and correct it if necessary.
Effects
Fillers in the nasolacrimal groove immediately after the procedure cause discomfort, but do not be afraid of them. Under the eyes there will be bruises, redness and swelling. However, this is a normal skin reaction. In this place, the skin has many vessels, which cannot be damaged during the manipulation. Further recommendations should be followed in the coming week.
You should not drink a lot of liquid, since hyaluronate absorbs moisture, and swelling will increase. Because of this, applying a moisturizer to this area is also not worth it. No need to go to the solarium or to be in the open sunlight. Otherwise, spots may appear on the skin. It is best to sleep on your back with a pillow under your head. It is better not to use decorative cosmetics, you need to wash your face with cool water. Massaging the filler is not worth it; moreover, it is better not to touch the injection site. Access to the sauna and any thermal treatments are prohibited. If there are bruises, then you can use creams that help hematomas resolve.
A photo of correction by fillers of a nasolacrimal groove (an example is presented in the article) should be done before and after the procedure in one light, in one pose, hairstyle and with the same facial expression.
Complications
If a person wants to make facial skin correction, then you need to know about all the complications that the procedure can bring. Only after a detailed study of all the subtleties is it worth agreeing to the procedure.
Sometimes a gel can pinch blood vessels. It is not always possible to see all capillaries before the procedure, respectively, it is difficult to bypass them. In addition, if hyaluronate begins to be saturated with moisture, it can compress vessels later. Because of this, puffiness will appear. No therapeutic measures are necessary, since this complication goes away on its own.
If a gel of the wrong type was used that fits the nasolacrimal region, then probably the filler migrates a little. The doctor himself must decide which filler is best for the nasolacrimal groove, but do not forget to ask about the concentration of acid in it. And it is advisable to do this before the procedure itself.
Hypercorrection occurs if the gel is introduced in excess. With a smile or surprise, the filler will be very noticeable. In this case, you need to go to the salon and ask for Longidaza injections. They will help the gel dissolve a little faster. The same drug is suitable if the filler has migrated.
If nodules appeared under the skin or scars, then the filler was inserted incorrectly. Even the best drugs should be administered intradermally. In the event that the injection was made deeper, then a scar may appear upon resorption. On the surface of the skin, most likely, there will be no changes, but the formation will be noticeable to the touch.
Most of the undesirable complications are associated with the improper work of the master. The procedure for introducing the filler into the nasolacrimal groove, which patients leave positive reviews, is quite complicated, so you need to choose a professional craftsman who has extensive experience. It is better to give preference to a more expensive clinic, but with a good reputation. Do not forget to read reviews about the institution in order to understand what awaits in the future.
The price of the procedure
The cost of the procedure may vary depending on some factors. Among them, the dose of the drug, the drug itself and the venue should be noted. As a result, taking into account all the nuances, the final cost varies from 7 thousand to 40 thousand rubles.
Contraindications
Most doctors are against interventions that are done only with the aim of correcting the appearance. And yet there are many who want to do contouring, so it’s worth listening to doctors at least regarding contraindications. Correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers is prohibited in case of:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- diseases associated with the work of the endocrine and autoimmune systems;
- clotting problems;
- inflammation of the skin in the area where the filler was planned to be inserted;
- predisposition to the formation of keloid scars;
- the presence of other fillers in the problem area;
- infectious diseases in the acute phase;
- oncology;
- intolerance to the drug;
- taking those medicines that thin the blood (aspirin is also on this list).
It is not advisable to do the procedure for those who have recently performed any kind of peeling, mechanical, chemical or laser, did epilation or photorejuvenation. Contour plastic is best performed at that time of the year when the activity of the sun is not very large. In the summer-spring period, even with proper skin care, you can accidentally cause age spots.
Reviews
Those patients who visited a professional doctor and correctly looked after the skin after the procedure do not complain about the result. What is noted from the positive? The fact that the procedure is not particularly painful does not require much time, and most importantly, reduces the nasolacrimal groove. Moreover, the latter concerns not only the length, but also the topography.
Among the shortcomings, patients note the high cost of the procedure, swelling of the face and bruises the next day after it. However, undesirable consequences are not found in all people, since everything is strictly individual.
How to understand whether the appearance has improved after the introduction of fillers in the nasolacrimal groove? Before and after the procedure, you need to take a photo. This will help determine its effectiveness.
When using a cannula, which injures the skin much less than a needle, unpleasant sensations are experienced. After anesthesia, at the stage of preparation for the procedure, the puncture is practically not felt. However, the promotion can be felt quite painfully.
As a rule, the skin is smoothed, the drug ceases to be felt, and the bruises dissolve closer to 10 days after the procedure. Sometimes after two weeks an additional correction is done. The drug is injected below the nasal tears to prevent the occurrence of other furrows. As a rule, this is done with a needle, bruises are not formed.
Summary
Many plastic surgeons and cosmetologists note that inserting a filler into the nasolacrimal groove is one of the best methods to get rid of the signs of aging. , , , , . ? , , .
