What's wrong with eye liposuction for weight loss

Eye liposuction for weight loss usually refers to surgical removal of excess fat around the eyes, improving the appearance of eye bags or puffiness. This operation may be caused by genetic eye bags, aging leading to orbital laxity, long-term eye fatigue, abnormal local fat metabolism, traumatic fat displacement, and other reasons. It can be improved by adjusting daily routine, relieving cold compress, radiofrequency ablation, laser assisted liposuction, surgical resection, and other methods.

1. Hereditary eye bags

Some populations have congenital bulging of orbital fat due to family inheritance, manifested as obvious eye bags in young age. This situation may be related to weak connective tissue determined by genes, usually accompanied by poor skin elasticity. Daily development can be slowed down by avoiding eye rubbing and using caffeinated eye cream. If it affects appearance, internal fat removal surgery can be considered. After surgery, strict sun protection is required to avoid pigmentation.

2. Aging induced laxity

As age increases, the supporting ligaments around the eyes gradually relax, and the tension of the orbital septum weakens, leading to fat bulging forward, often accompanied by increased skin wrinkles. Non surgical improvement can be attempted by using radiofrequency tightening therapy to stimulate collagen regeneration. In severe cases, extra skin and fat should be removed by external excision. Temporary eyelid eversion may occur after surgery, and eyebrow raising muscle function training should be combined to accelerate recovery.

3. Eye fatigue

Long term use of electronic screens or staying up late can cause circulatory disorders around the eyes, leading to pseudo fat accumulation. Manifesting as obvious swelling of the upper eyelid when waking up in the morning, with concave edema when pressed. It is recommended to close your eyes and rest for 5 minutes every hour of use, and use a refrigerated metal spoon to apply cold compress to promote vascular constriction. For stubborn edema, low concentration liposuction injections can be considered, but caution should be exercised about the risk of vascular embolism.

4. Abnormal fat metabolism

Endocrine disorders or high salt diets may lead to abnormal increase in the volume of fat cells around the eyes, which is common in patients with hypothyroidism. In such cases, blood sugar, thyroid function and other indicators need to be checked first. After diagnosis, bipolar radio frequency combined with micro aspiration can be tried. During operation, the meibomian gland area should be avoided. After operation, diuretic food such as Winter melon soup should be used to assist metabolism.

5. Traumatic displacement

External impact on the eye may cause orbital septum rupture, and abnormal subcutaneous displacement of adipose tissue may form a mass. During the acute phase, ice should be applied to stop bleeding. For old injuries, fat reduction and fixation should be performed through a conjunctival incision. Special attention should be paid to protecting the inferior oblique muscle during surgery to avoid postoperative complications such as diplopia. Postoperative care should pay attention to keeping the wound dry and clean, avoiding bleeding caused by intense exercise, and raising the head during sleep to reduce swelling. Increase the intake of high-quality protein in diet to promote tissue repair, limit sodium salt to prevent water and sodium retention. Avoid wearing contact lenses within one week after surgery, and strictly protect against sunburn for three months to prevent scar formation. If there is persistent pain, blurred vision, or other abnormalities, immediate follow-up is required. Daily advice is to enhance eye muscle strength through eye movement training and use mild, non-alcoholic makeup remover products to reduce irritation.
