Droopy Eye Lids, Dark Circles & Eye Bags

Droopy eye lids, dark circles and “hollow” tear troughs are usually a result of the ageing process, but they can also appear in younger people due to genetic predisposition or a variety of lifestyle and environmental factors, such as excessive sun damage. You may find that their appearance can make the face look tired, sad and older.

Tear trough treatment
The reason that the area under the eyes becomes darker and more hollow is increased collagen loss in the upper part of the cheeks and the upper corners of the face. As these structures lose volume, the area under the eyes (called the tear trough) loses its support and dark circles appear as the blood supply under the skin becomes more visible.
At Breath Medical Aesthetic, we can correct this successfully with Tear Trough Treatment with injections of Hyaluronic Acid filler to restore the volume and to give the under- eye and the tear trough area a smoother, fuller, fresher and younger appearance. In our clinic we use only the higher end, newest generation, and officially approved fillers from reputable companies.
The type of filler will be decided during your initial free consultation and after your discussion with our specialist doctor. The filler is pre-mixed with an anaesthetic and the procedure is fairly pain free and the effects last up to 12 months and in many cases even longer.

Eye bags- fat deposit under the eyes
In many cases the hollow tear trough appearance is made worse by the additional formation of eye bags, which are caused by protruding normal fatty tissue under the eyes.
The underlying cause for the protruding under eye (fatty tissue) bags is the same as for the tear trough; namely loss of collagen and lack of support by surrounding tissues, which would normally hold the fatty tissue in its place.
In the past the only solutions for this problem was surgical removal of the fat deposit. We are very pleased to offer an excellent non-surgical permanent treatment for eye bags in our clinic with the revolutionary technology of O.F.F to help reduce the fatty tissue.
O.F.F. is one of the exclusive non-ablative Soft Surgery procedures offered in our clinic using Fusion Plasma technology. Removal of the fat bags with O.F.F. and Tear Trough Correction (as in some instances both treatments may be required) will give your eyes and their surrounding tissues a fresh and youthful appearance.

Hooded and droopy eyelids
For non-surgical blepharoplasty, we use soft surgery with Plaxpot® and it is performed without cutting, without removing excess skin or fat and without modifying the orbicular muscle of the eyelids. This helps avoid all risks inherent to the traditional surgical intervention.
Plaxpot®, is a device that forms plasma to sublimate the excess skin. It delivers its energy only on the superficial skin cells, without affecting deeper tissues, thus enables the perfect plasticity of the eyelid movement immediately after the treatment.
The result is immediate reduction of the excess skin on the upper or lower eyelid, as well as the shrinking of the excess skin in the external region around the eye. The benefits are also the improvement of the expression lines at the corner of the eye and the cheekbone (“crow’s feet”).
​
This blepharoplasty technique is defined as “dynamic” as it enables the practitioner to ask clients to open and close their eyes during the treatment. A typical session will last no more than 30 minutes and the tiny point-like crusts will fall off after 3 to 7 days.
Depending on the nature and extend of the excess skin and area treated you may need between 1 and 3 treatments, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Patients may experience some swelling and soreness in the treated area following the treatment. Any residual crusts do disappear within 7 days, but can be covered with liquid foundation.
During your free consultation, our doctor will discuss your suitability for the treatment and what you can expect.
