How are tear troughs formed? What are the differences between them and eye bags?

Tear troughs are obviously caused by lack of rest. People with dark circles must have tear troughs, and people with bags under the eyes must also have tear troughs. So how are tear troughs formed? What are the differences between tear troughs and eye bags?

How are tear grooves formed?

There are many reasons for the formation of tear troughs, including congenital defects in the subcutaneous tissue below the inner side of the eye frame, sagging of cheek tissue during aging, and the formation of eye bags. As we age, subcutaneous fat shrinks, the skin becomes thinner and sags due to reduced elasticity, and the tear trough on the inside of the lower eyelid becomes obvious, and "eye bags" appear. Therefore, young people may have tear troughs, older people will have tear troughs, people without bags under their eyes may have tear troughs, people with bags under their eyes must have tear troughs, people without dark circles may have tear troughs, and people with dark circles almost all have tear troughs.

Loose skin can also form tear troughs. There are many reasons for loose skin, such as inadequate daily maintenance and insufficient skin moisture which will cause the skin to become loose. Buying low-quality cosmetics for the sake of cheapness and using them for a long time will also cause the skin to become loose, and tear troughs will gradually appear. Some people are born with thin skin and insufficient fat, and the skin around our eyes is very delicate, so a groove will form with the skin on the face, forming a dividing line and the tear trough.

Tear grooves are also related to ligaments or muscles. If the strength is strong, tear grooves will easily appear. This varies from person to person according to physical condition. In fact, everyone has tear troughs, which will appear gradually depending on the elasticity of the skin.

What is the difference between tear troughs and eye bags?

The tear trough is a concave groove on the lower eyelid near the nose, which looks like eye bags. The symptoms of eye bags are hypertrophy of the lower eyelid muscles, some of which are accompanied by dark brown and bruises. There is also a combination of tear trough and eye bags: tear trough type eye bags.

Tear troughs make people look listless and give people a feeling of fatigue and sadness. Experts say that the tear trough actually refers to a groove that starts from the inner corner of the eye and appears on the lower eyelid near the nose. It is caused by the atrophy and sagging of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbital septum. Generally, tear troughs are congenital, and those with thinner eyelids will have more obvious tear troughs than the average person. Tear troughs are usually not very obvious when you are young, because young people have more subcutaneous fat and tighter skin, so there is only a vague outline.

Eye bags are caused by relaxation of the lower eyelid skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles and orbital septum, and hypertrophy of the retroorbital fat, which protrude to form bag-like protrusions called eye bags. Bags under the eyes are common in middle-aged and elderly people around 40 years old, and can occur in both men and women. It is one of the early signs of human aging. Of course, with the improvement of people's material and cultural living standards and the development of science, it is possible to delay the occurrence of bags under the eyes.

The difference between eye bags and tear troughs: When viewed from the side, eye bags appear bulging, while tear troughs appear concave.

Well, that’s all the introduction about tear troughs. My friends, you all understand it clearly and know that most tear troughs are formed due to lack of rest.
