The eyes tell the story of the passing years. Loaded with poetic and artistic meaning, just think of the gaze of Leonardo’s women, the eyes are not only the mirror of progressive aging, but above all of what we have experienced, of the emotions we have felt, of how much we have laughed carefree. “People with very dynamic facial expressions tend to have more wrinkles in the eye contour area”, ** says Dr. Aniello Veneroso, plastic surgeon at Salus Hospital in Reggio Emilia and member of Sicpre and Aicpe. ** “The wrinkles of the eyes are part of the expressiveness of the face, they are not necessarily condemned”.
The eye area is made up of 22 continuously moving muscles: over the course of a day, we blink an average of 10 thousand times. This is why the skin in this area is very delicate and shows the signs of aging more, through the relaxation of the eyelids and eyebrows, the loss of elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. «The continuous movement of the muscles wrinkles the skin layer and causes the appearance of wrinkles, which reach around 30 years. The situation reaches its negative peak around 50, with the arrival of menopause and the drop in estrogen ».
«The uniqueness of this area of the face is given by its extreme diversity: the skin is very thin, underneath in some points there is the adipose tissue, in others there is immediately the muscle, it varies from one centimeter to the next. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, does not return to its place and therefore the eyelid literally falls off ”, explains Veneroso.

With botox: «The botulinum toxin allows us to paralyze the muscles in the area, which are about 3.5 grams of muscle out of a total of 50.60 kilos of a normal person. Botulinum toxin prevents the muscle from contracting by stressing the tissues. With botox you can also work on the forehead, to give a greater curvature to the arch of the eyebrows, without however obtaining that typical Mephistophelic, amazed look. To lift the eye upwards it is important to create more space between the eyebrow arch and the eye ».
With fillers: «The area can also be stretched with fillers based on hyaluronic acid, or with lipofilling, or the transplantation of fat with stem cells, which is particularly useful for bags. Often they are caused by a deduction of the lower eyelid, and therefore it is necessary to give continuity to the tissues ».
