lacrimal grooveIt is a concave groove that appears from the inner corner of the eye on the nasal side of the lower eyelid. It is formed due to soft tissue atrophy and drooping. The concave is obviously different from the surrounding skin, which affects the appearance of the face. This phenomenon occurs in many people, and some people even extend to the cheeks.

The lacrimal groove is divided into young type and elderly type. The young type is caused by atrophy and drooping of the soft tissue at the lower edge of the orbit; The elderly type is caused by facial aging and relaxation and subcutaneous fat reduction. The existence of lacrimal grooves not only affects the appearance of the face, but also makes it look haggard and old. Through certain medical methods, such as hyaluronic acid or autologous fat filling, lacrimal grooves can be effectively improved. Daily maintenance is also one of the important measures to alleviate the lacrimal groove problem. It is recommended to maintain good work and rest habits, properly massage the skin around the eyes, and avoid facing mobile phones and computer screens for a long time. If the tear groove problem is serious or affects your quality of life, it is recommended to seek advice and treatment options from a professional doctor.
