The effects of estrogens and phytoestrogens on human skin and its topical use for prevention of skin aging - Literature Review

Abstract

It is noteworthy the range of facial treatments, with aesthetic purpose, with which we can preserve the balance of the shape or beauty of our patients. Fillers, botulinum toxin, laser, and other technologies are widely used in dermatology. Eyelids can also be treated with these and other therapeutic resources. However, herniation of the fat pockets of the upper eyelids does not present significant results with these methods. The advancement of techniques known as minimally invasive and other technologies does not satisfy the treatment of this facial aesthetic unit. Thinking about the global rejuvenation of the face, it is unlikely that we will achieve a result of excellence without acting on the eyelids. Upper blepharoplasty remains irreplaceable, and it is the treatment of choice for skin redundancy and herniation of fat pockets. This surgery, with a long history in Dermatology, has a unique and fundamental role in facial rejuvenation. In this study, we tried to demonstrate the surgical technique of superior blepharoplasty educationally and to prove its efficacy and safety, with good aesthetic and functional results. With full knowledge of this anatomical region and technical precepts, we recognize that we can perform it safely
