Injection blepharoplasty: indications and contraindications
Until recently, age-related changes in the skin of the eyes were corrected in a radical way, which consisted in surgical plastic surgery of the eyelids. The emergence of conservative methods to eliminate wrinkles, eyelid overhangs, hernia has become a major breakthrough in the field of facial rejuvenation.
One of these techniques is injection blepharoplasty.
Correction of the eyelids with injections quickly became popular, due to the low morbidity and excellent anti-aging effect. Procedures are designed for women and men from the age of 40 years. According to some indications, this age threshold may decrease.
What tasks does eyelid correction solve?

- does not bear risk to health and life;
- easy and fast rehabilitation period;
- skin is not injured;
- there is no risk of infection;
- there are no scars.
The essence of the procedure is the introduction of special preparations under the eyelid skin. Depending on the tasks solved by blepharoplasty, one or another remedy is chosen. Injections are usually done in courses, up to eight procedures with an interval of
Contraindications for injectable blepharoplasty:

- allergic reactions to the components of the drug;
- eye infections;
- pregnancy;

Popular drugs for injection blepharoplasty:
- Hyaluronic acid based Restylane - eliminates wrinkles, evens sunken eyelids;
- Peptide-based Dermaheal Eyebag Solution - treats hernia;
- Dermaheal Dark Circle Solution, a trace of micronutrients and vitamins - eliminates dark circles.
Non-surgical injection blefaroplasty: the stages of the procedure.
Preparation for injection therapy is minimal. Eyelid surgery without incisions is considered a minimally invasive procedure and does not require careful examination by doctors to exclude contraindications. But before the procedure, it is desirable to discuss with a specialist all the questions concerning the desired effect.
A good doctor will select the best drugs to achieve the desired result. Therefore, the choice of the clinic and a competent cosmetologist is a crucial moment.
Stages of non-surgical injection blefaroplasty:
- Consultation with a doctor, identification of contraindications, discussion of methods of correction and rules for eye care after injections.
- Diagnosis by the doctor of the degree of age-related changes of the skin and the severity of defects. The choice of the drug and the definition of correction points for centuries.
- Conduct local anesthesia before the procedure.
- The markings on the eyelids points for pricks.
- The introduction of the drug and its distribution under the skin.
- Care of the centuries during the rehabilitation period .
Eyelid surgery without incisions significantly reduces the time of the procedure. All actions of the doctor last about half an hour. Anesthetics do not allow feeling painful injections, so the procedure is well tolerated by patients.
Complications from non-invasive injectable blepharoplasty are extremely rare. Yet the patient may experience the following troubles:
- Puffiness Usually passes independently, but if the edema is strongly expressed, it is possible to apply decongestants.
- Teariness . It occurs as a result of severe edema, when the tear ducts narrow.
- Pain syndrome To relieve this symptom, you should take sedatives and painkillers.
- Allergic reaction . Redness, itching should cause immediate medical attention.
- Hematoma . Occurs when vascular damage. If it is small, then nothing needs to be done. If significant hematoma should consult a doctor.
The result of eyelid plastics injections is rarely negative. If an allergic reaction has occurred, the doctor injects drugs that break down the active substance. Overwhelmingly, the positive aesthetic effect is obvious. The tired look disappears, wrinkles are smoothed, and the face looks fresh and rested.
How is non-surgical blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids.
Indications for injection correction of the upper eyelid:
- fine wrinkles appeared in the corners of the eyes;
- eyelids look swollen;
- eyelids droop heavily over eyes.
- bags formed under the eyes;
Non-surgical blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids is performed primarily with preparations that smooth wrinkles and fill the voids of thin overhanging skin. To tighten the eyelids, the drug is injected into the areas at the inner and outer edges of the eye. The doctor distributes it under the skin so that the sockets do not look hollow. Sometimes it is necessary to remove hernias and puffiness of the upper eyelids. To do this, drugs that activate the process of splitting fats are introduced.
How is the injection blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids?
Indications for injection correction of the lower eyelid:
- a new fold formed on the eyelid;
- fat deposits appeared in the eyelids;
- a hernia has formed;
- eyelids droop (sag) down.
The purpose of the rejuvenation of the lower eyelid is to ensure a smooth transition of the periorbital zone to the cheek. Depending on the defect, the injection blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids is performed by different preparations that contribute to the creation of a smooth contour of the transition zone.
зоны (провалы под глазами, выпирающие кости) устраняется филлерами, заполняющими пространство под кожей. The bright manifestation of the periorbital zone (dips under the eyes, protruding bones) is eliminated by fillers filling the space under the skin. The composition includes hyaluronic acid.
Excess fatty tissue is removed by injecting drugs that break down fats. In the means of activating lipolysis, such substances as fatty acids, multivitamins, sodium deoxylcholate, phosphatidylcholine, plant extracts are included.
Bags under the eyes are treated with injections of biometric peptides. The products include amino acids, hyaluronic acid, mineral cocktail, peptide compounds, copper tripeptide.
New in blepharoplasty: modern methods of eyelid correction.
The replacement of blepharoplasty in the traditional performance touched not only injection procedures, but also modern technologies. High-precision medical devices solve many problems in the treatment of various diseases. Today in medicine they successfully use equipment that generates laser beams and radio frequency oscillations. And plastic surgery is no exception.
New to blepharoplasty today is:
- laser polishing ;
- microcurrent therapy;
- RF lifting;
- photo rejuvenation;
- DROT-therapy;
- fractional thermolysis.
Laser resurfacing , photorejuvenation, and fractional thermolysis are based on exposure to laser radiation. In this case, the dead cells evaporate, and in the deep layers of the skin, the process of cell regeneration is activated. The skin becomes supple and elastic.
The essence of the RF lifting procedure is that radiofrequency radiation changes the protein by increasing the temperature. At the same time, the protein, in the composition of which collagen and elastin, is coiled into a spiral, creating a powerful lifting effect. Radio waves trigger the process of lipolysis, which removes excess fat from the eyelids. As a result of this action, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the bags and eyelid swelling disappear.
DROT-therapy is the most effective technique that equally well affects the lower and upper eyelids. It is an integrated laser system and source of radio frequency waves. The procedure allows to achieve the maximum anti-aging effect in the shortest possible time.
Replacing blepharoplasty with surgery by new methods of rejuvenation allowed expanding the possibilities of eyelid correction for various population groups. Not everyone decides to have an operation: for some it is the fear of the surgeon and the scalpel, for others it is too expensive, for the third it is impossible to perform the operation due to contraindications. Injections, laser, radio wave radiation remove similar problems.
