Risky behavior! Premature sagging eyelids
No one wants premature sagging skin around their eyes, but did you know that one of the causes is our lifestyle habits? Let's take a look at some of them!
1. Smoking and drinking alcohol.
Cigarettes contain chemicals that damage collagen and skin elasticity, leading to vitamin deficiencies, dryness, roughness, and wrinkles. Excessive alcohol consumption accelerates skin cell deterioration, causing sagging and premature wrinkles.
2. Applying double eyelid stickers continuously for a long time.
Frequently using double eyelid stickers can cause the eyelids to stretch more, leading to premature eyelid sagging and potentially causing eyelid muscle weakness.
3. He rubbed his eyes violently.
Rubbing your eyes frequently and vigorously damages the skin, causing the eyelid skin to stretch and wrinkle more quickly, leading to drooping eyelids.
4. Staying up late, not getting enough rest.
Lack of sleep or consistently staying up late can lead to wrinkled, sagging skin, and fine lines around the eyes and under-eye bags. During sleep, the body releases growth hormone to repair damaged tissues and produce collagen, which is beneficial for the skin, helping to keep it strong and moisturized. However, if we stay up late and get insufficient sleep, the body produces less growth hormone, resulting in skin problems such as wrinkles around the eyes, sagging skin, and under-eye bags.
5. Wearing contact lenses continuously for a long period of time.
Inserting or removing contact lenses requires moving the eyelid to lift it, causing the eyelid and eye muscles to work harder than usual. If contact lenses are worn continuously for a long time, this can cause the eye muscles to stretch, the eyelids to sag, resulting in drooping eyelids and eye muscle weakness.
6. Rub/wipe away makeup vigorously.
Rubbing makeup too hard on the eyelids or using products unsuitable for the delicate eyelid skin can damage the skin and reduce its elasticity, leading to premature eyelid drooping.
It's evident that our lifestyle habits contribute to sagging skin on the face and around the eyes, making us look older than our age. Problems that may arise from these habits include drooping eyelids, sagging corners of the eyes, drooping eyebrows, wrinkles around the eyes, sleepy eyes, weak eye muscles, deep-set eyes, sunken eye sockets, and under-eye bags.
If you experience problems around your eyes and want to fix them, you can do so using the following methods.
1. Double eyelid surgery This procedure helps address sagging eyelids, drooping eyelids, and sagging outer corners of the eyes. In designing the eyelid crease, the doctor must primarily consider the structure of the orbital bone. Techniques used may include eye muscle adjustment, fat transfer, and fat grafting, depending on the individual patient's needs.
2. Lower eyelid bag surgery At Sky Clinic, we offer both scarless and external incision surgical techniques to address skin sagging.
3. Eyebrow scar concealment surgery This procedure is suitable for people who already have well-defined double eyelids or prefer their existing double eyelids but have problems with sagging or drooping eyelids at the outer corners of the eyes. The scar will be hidden under the eyebrow.
4. Botox injections or laser treatment To address wrinkles around the eyes.
5. Filler injections around the eyes This will help to give the face more dimension overall and can also make the face look younger.
If you're unsure whether you have any problems around your eyes, you can consult with a doctor at Sky Clinic first. This will allow the doctor to assess the issue and recommend the most appropriate solution.
