Summary of Causes and Treatment for Sagging Eyes
The secrets to eye correction as shared by Representative Shin Jeong-min of Ulfit Korean Medicine Clinic
01 5 Complex Causes of Sagging Eyes
- Orbital Bone (Bone) Resorption: Due to aging, the volume of the bones surrounding the eyes decreases, causing soft tissues to sink or sag.
- Imbalance of Eye Muscles: The levator palpebrae superioris muscle (which opens the eye) weakens, while the orbicularis oculi muscle (which closes the eye) becomes overly tense, causing wrinkles around the eyes.
- Sagging of Forehead Skin and Muscles: The load pressing down from above causes the eyelid crease to become buried and the corners of the eyes to droop.
- Reduced Circulation: Stiffness in the back of the neck and shoulders compresses blood vessels and lymph nodes, leading to waste accumulation and loss of skin elasticity.
- Stiff Neck (Fascial Tension): When the back of the neck becomes stiff due to forward head posture, the fascia connected to the forehead is pulled, preventing the eyes from opening fully.
02 The Need for an Integrated Approach, Not Just Simple Lifting
To restore sagging eyes, simply lifting the eyes and skin is not enough. It is essential to adopt an integrated approach that understands bone changes, balances muscles, and relieves tension in the stiff back of the neck to restore circulation.
