Dark circles, under-eye bags: is a facelift an effective procedure?

The lift is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from a specific area of the body. Through an incision, the surgeon accesses the part beneath the skin and removes the excess fat using specialised techniques. The lift smooths and tones the targeted area, rejuvenating its appearance.

Eye lifting can be utilised to address issues of dark circles and bags under the eyes. As excess fat and skin are removed, the swollen appearance of under-eye bags diminishes. Lifting also stimulates collagen production, a component that plays a role in cell regeneration. The skin renews quickly, it is better nourished and blood circulation is improved. The effects of fatigue and stress are erased, and as the skin is tightened, dark circles and bags become less noticeable.

Today, there are several types of eye lifts available, each tailored to specific needs and varying levels of intervention. The lift by tension threads is a non-invasive method that corrects dark circles and bags under the eyes without resorting to heavy surgery. This technique involves making a small incision at the lower eyelid, then inserting absorbable tension threads, positioned to tighten the skin and muscles. In addition to lifting the area and reducing swelling, these threads stimulate collagen production, which promotes rapid skin regeneration and improved blood microcirculation. However, like any procedure, it can cause some discomforts such as pain, bruising, local irritation, or even an asymmetry of the gaze.

Another alternative is the plasma lift, a more specific technique that relies on the use of the patient's own blood plasma. Obtained by centrifuging the blood, this concentrate rich in growth factors is then injected into the area of dark circles or bags. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen, improves the skin texture, reduces swelling and lessens the dark colouration of the circles. The plasma lift is an interesting non-invasive solution for those seeking natural results without surgery. However, although rare, there is a risk of allergic reaction or infection.

Before opting for any of these procedures, it is crucial to consult a qualified professional who can assess your situation and guide you towards the method most suited to your body shape, your expectations, and the nature of the imperfections to be corrected.
