Aging loose eye bags

Introduction Due to aging and genetic reasons, the muscles around the eyes are relaxed, the eyeballs are lowered, and the fat in the lower part of the eyeball is pressed, causing the fat to protrude forward, and the lower eyelids are visually bulged.

Cause

First, with the increase of age, the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles and related structures undergo degenerative changes, the skin becomes thinner, the elasticity is reduced, and the fat does not shrink and then increases, and the relaxation is increased. When the skin is prominent, it shows an eye bag change.

Second, congenital genetic factors cause hypertrophy of the orbicularis muscles, and the skin appears rounded, especially when smiling.

Third, traumatic factors cause the orbicularis and tendon injuries, and hypertrophic rouge protrudes subcutaneously with weak skin. In addition, due to fatigue, poor sleep, excessive nightlife and systemic or chronic diseases are easy to induce or accelerate the appearance of bags under the eyes, and even dark circles around the periorbital.
