Description of the procedure for correcting the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers
The cosmetic procedure is also called contour plastics. Its essence lies in the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with preparations based on hyaluronic acid. The doctor's goal is to smooth it out by evenly distributing fillers under the skin.
Note! Unlike blepharoplasty, the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers does not lead to a violation of the natural proportions of the face.
This method of correcting the nasolacrimal groove is completely safe, it almost never causes an allergic reaction and rejection. It compares favorably with other procedures and the absence of painful sensations.
The work requires an insulin needle or cannula, a syringe, an anesthetic drug in the form of lidocaine or cream, and the filler itself. As the latter, biologically pure hyaluronic acid of plant or animal origin is used. It requires at least 0.8 ml to fill the furrow.
Fillers are usually sold already in syringes, the concentration of hyaluronate in them is about 20 mg / ml. Depending on this, the resulting effect can last for 3-12 months. After this time, the filler is naturally absorbed.
The drug is administered in stages, in parts, during one session, which lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. If necessary, you may need to visit the clinic again.
The benefits of correcting the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers
The nasolacrimal groove is corrected with drugs that include one of the components of human skin - hyaluronic acid. Thanks to this, not only the effect of rejuvenation is achieved, but also premature aging is prevented. This is due to the enhancement of the production of its own collagen and elastin, which create the skeleton of the skin.
Correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers:
- Increases skin elasticity … She becomes tighter and smoother, looks younger and more beautiful. Not only the nasolacrimal groove is smoothed, but also the areas next to it.
- Moisturizes tissues … Hyaluronic acid nourishes them with moisture, thereby preventing dryness, flaking, itching and premature appearance of wrinkles on the face.
- Refreshes the face … Fillers improve its color, make the skin brighter, lighter, cleaner and more well-groomed. Thanks to this, a person becomes more beautiful and looks healthier.
- Promotes skin cleansing … It reduces the number of blackheads and acne, lightens age spots. At the same time, the face acquires a natural shine and smoothness.
Note! Fillers, when correctly inserted, do not move in the skin, so that the gel remains invisible from the outside. It is not felt in tissues, does not affect facial expressions, does not change facial features, unlike Botox.
Contraindications to the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers
When carrying out the procedure, if there are certain contraindications, not only may the end result be unsatisfactory, but there is also a high probability of deterioration in health. Responsibility for this will lie with both the doctor and the patient himself, who must warn the specialist about his diseases.
Contraindications to the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers are:
- Dermatological diseases … This makes sense if their manifestations directly affected the area of influence. In this situation, the skin condition may deteriorate and recovery will be more difficult.
- Violation of the integrity and inflammation of the skin … This should be taken into account if there are such problems in the injection area, that is, where the injections will be given. It is better to postpone the procedure until wounds, scratches, abrasions heal.
- Tendency to form keloid scars … These are tumor-like formations of tissue, which can have completely different sizes, sometimes exceeding 5-10 cm. On the face, they appear rather rarely, mostly in places.
- Blood clotting disorder … This is very important because of some risk of bleeding opening, for example, in the case of a puncture of a vessel. Such situations are rare, since a thin needle can hardly lead to such a dangerous situation.
- Pregnancy … It is not recommended to carry out the correction at any month of the period of bearing the child. The reason lies in the baby's ambiguous reaction to the drugs used, as well as in the high likelihood of an allergy in the mother herself.
- Lactation period … The correction will have to be postponed for the entire period of breastfeeding. This will allow not to spoil the quality of milk and will not cause premature refusal of the baby from milk.
- Infectious diseases in the acute stage … These include syphilis, hepatitis B, meningitis, tetanus, measles, malaria. Also, this group can include tuberculosis, whooping cough, measles.
Other contraindications include endocrine and autoimmune diseases, oncopathology, taking drugs with the effect of blood thinning, for example, aspirin, as well as individual intolerance and a combination of fillers of different brands.
The ideal time for correction is cloudy days, that is, winter, spring, autumn, and in summer there is a possibility of the appearance of age spots. It is recommended to postpone the procedure for 2 weeks after just performed photorejuvenation and laser hair removal on the face, chemical or mechanical peeling.
How is nasolacrimal groove correction done with fillers?
14 days before visiting a doctor, you need to refuse aggressive cosmetic procedures, visits to the solarium and the beach.
With increased permeability of the walls of blood vessels, prone to the appearance of hematomas, or with a superficial arrangement of capillaries, it is recommended to take a weekly course of Ascorutin before the session.
On the day of the procedure, it is advisable to take a photo of the face for comparison before and after the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus.
The procedure is carried out in several stages:
- During the consultation, the cosmetologist discusses all the nuances: clarifies possible contraindications, calculates the required amount of the drug, agrees its type and cost of services. At the same time, he can simulate the final result on a computer.
- On the day of the correction, the skin is thoroughly cleansed with milk from impurities and residues of cosmetics, this is required to exclude the effect of tattooing that occurs when the dyes are deepened into the skin.
- In the zone of influence, the points are marked with a pencil at which the punctures for injections will be made. This allows you to achieve more accurate results and avoid uneven distribution of the composition due to possible edema.
- The face is treated with an anesthetic to disinfect the surface and exclude the penetration of infection into the body through punctures.
- An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin, for example, "Emla" or its analogue "Anestop". Then it is left for 30 minutes to achieve the effect of local anesthesia.
- Based on the previously drawn lines, the doctor makes several subcutaneous injections with a sterile syringe with a needle or cannula. After that, the effect of the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus is assessed and the rest of the filler is injected.
- At the end of the procedure, the specialist works with his hands on the filler to distribute it evenly in the tissues, smoothing the gel with his fingers.
At the end of the session, wearers of sensitive skin may be offered the application of a soothing mask or cream to eliminate allergies, inflammation, itching and redness. Next, the doctor talks about the nuances of rehabilitation and the features of facial care.
Results of the use of fillers for the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus
The effect of the procedure can be seen literally immediately after the introduction of the first portion of the filler. It becomes brightest on the 7-10th day, approximately that much time is required for rehabilitation. After their expiration, experts recommend re-visiting the clinic to assess the situation in case the work needs to be corrected. This makes sense only in difficult, neglected situations or in the presence of any complications after the correction of the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers.
The negative consequences include the appearance of edema, which can be caused by the clamping of blood vessels with a filler. If the work is performed by a not very experienced doctor, then it may become possible to move the gel inside the tissues and spread it to neighboring areas, which will leave voids in the skin. As a result, re-administration of the drug is likely to be required.
Unpleasant consequences of correcting the nasolacrimal sulcus with fillers can occur if too much gel is injected. Because of this, the drug will acquire clear contours under the skin and will become noticeable to others when smiling and laughing. Also, in the event of a doctor's mistake, nodules and scars may appear on the face, which will require surgery or laser therapy to correct.
For the normal course of rehabilitation within 1-2 weeks after the correction, it is not recommended to drink a lot of fluids in order to avoid the appearance of edema, you can not use moisturizers, sleep with your face in a pillow for a long time, wash your face with too hot or cold water. It is also undesirable to apply decorative cosmetics on the face, visit the sauna, take a hot bath or shower. If bruising occurs, you can use any ointment from hematomas to dissolve them.

Evgeniya, 52 years old
Surprisingly, as for my age, I looked pretty good before the procedure, but this very nasolacrimal groove spoiled my appearance. Not so long ago I corrected it with fillers, I managed to do everything the first time. I didn't need a lot of the drug, the doctor injected it with such a thin needle that I practically did not feel anything. They write the truth that the procedure is painless and quick. Therefore, I did not even doubt whether it was worth paying for it, as for me, quite a lot of money. Almost a year has passed, apparently, the gel has not completely absorbed yet, as the skin is still tightened. But most of all I liked the fact that it began to shine beautifully and moisturize.
Diana, 43 years old
I got a nasolacrimal sulcus very early, and fillers seemed to me the only safe and effective way to eliminate it. I went through the procedure in a good clinic, the doctor is smart, I did everything professionally. I anesthetized well, treated my face with an antiseptic, and at the end soothed my skin with a cream, so I had no problems with rehabilitation. But just in case, she asked to come to the second appointment for examination.
Elena, 22 years old
While studying at the university on a full-time basis, I also had to work 6-8 hours a day. Naturally, it was difficult to get enough sleep in such conditions, and literally immediately ugly stripes appeared under my eyes. Feels like they did not bother me, but they terribly spoiled the appearance, increased the visual age. I decided on the procedure quickly, came to the doctor, put on a cap on my head, shoe covers on my legs, cleaned the desired area, smeared it with ointment, after 15 minutes the residues of the product were removed and after a few minutes Juvederm Ultra gel was injected. This drug, as I was told, is not the densest, but of high quality, and it lasts for a long time. The pain during the injections was slight, quite bearable, there were almost no bruises, the skin recovered in 2 days.
