At Belleza Latina, our group of doctors specialized in aesthetic medicine understands the importance of a luminous and rejuvenated look. Here we will explore in detail the causes behind the swelling of the eyelids or also known as fat eyelids.
We will introduce you to the most effective treatments. We offer everything you need to revitalize your look. With our options, you won’t have to undergo invasive surgery or expose your eye health.
In this article, we will begin by understanding what happens to our bodies as we age. Then, what are the changes that can affect the appearance of our face and therefore, our eyelids.
Over the years, it is common to observe in the vast majority of people, that the eyelids become more droopy and swollen. This situation can affect our appearance and make us look tired, swollen or older than we really are.
Non-invasive treatments for droopy eyes and eyelids
In the past, the only option to correct droopy eyelids and excess skin was to resort to cosmetic surgery. However, nowadays, there are different treatments that are less invasive and more accessible.
These combinations can significantly improve this prominent area of our face. These treatments not only offer effective results, but they are also safer and allow a faster recovery.
I have swollen eyelids, what can it be due to?
To better understand what happens in our eyelid area when signs of aging appear, it is important to remember that we have superficial fat pads in our face.
Over time, these cushions lose tone and become atrophic. This change contributes to the appearance of fat in the eyelids. In addition, the facial ligaments that support the eyelids also weaken, generating lines and furrows in this area.
In the specific case of fat eyelids, fat can herniate. This happens due to the movement of the ligaments and other factors related to aging. This results in the appearance of undesirable bags.
In addition, fluid retention due to inadequate lymphatic drainage can aggravate the problem, along with changes in skin coloration.
Corrective treatment options for fat eyelids
At Belleza Latina, we believe in the importance of offering non-surgical treatment alternatives to address eyelid puffiness effectively and safely.
Below, we will introduce you to some of the cutting-edge procedures and techniques that our medical specialists employ to rejuvenate this delicate area and restore your eyes to their natural vitality and beauty.
Reductive liposuction
One of the most effective non-surgical treatment options is the use of lipoenzymes to reduce localized fat in the eyelids. These lipoenzymes are applied locally and help to break down and eliminate the accumulated fat in the area.
In addition, radiofrequency sessions can be performed to stimulate circulation and reduce swelling in the area, achieving even more satisfactory results. In general, a minimum of 3 sessions is recommended, although the total number will depend on each particular case.
Hyaluronic Acid for fat eyelids
Once the area is de-inflamed after several sessions of lipoenzymes, the application of hyaluronic acid can be considered. With acid, any additional sagging that may occur after localized fat removal is corrected.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in our body and has moisturizing and volumizing properties. When applied to the eyelids, it can restore firmness and elasticity to the skin, achieving a more youthful and smoother appearance.
It is important to note that this option is only performed on patients who are candidates and require it. Therefore, a previous evaluation by a specialist is essential.
Vitamin complexes
In addition to the treatments mentioned above, Belleza Latina also uses revitalizing complexes containing vitamins and hyaluronic acid without cross-linking.
These complexes are applied in the periocular area and help to treat pigmentation and fine lines that are not reached by other treatments such as Botox. This improves the quality of the skin around the eyes and fatty eyelids.
These revitalizing complexes stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two key substances to maintain youthfulness and firmness of the skin.
Botox for greater facial harmony
Finally, Botox is another option that can be considered in cases where you want to lift the upper eyelid and eliminate wrinkles known as “crow’s feet”.
Botox is a toxin that is injected into the muscles responsible for facial movements and helps to relax them. Botox causes a “lifting” effect on the eyelids. This treatment provides greater harmony to the eye and a more open appearance to the gaze. Contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Customize your process
Not all patients will need to follow all of the above steps. Treatments will depend on each individual’s needs and goals. So, an accurate and personalized evaluation by an aesthetic medicine specialist is essential for the best results.
In addition, it is recommended to treat any underlying disease that may be contributing to eyelid swelling.
For example, if a patient has hormonal imbalances, such as increased cortisol, it is critical to take steps to reduce it, otherwise pigmentation and fluid retention may persist despite the treatments used.
