The valley of tears under the eyes - where does it come from?
A wrinkle known as thevalley of tears is a characteristic diagonal furrow between the inner corner of the eye and the cheek. Its name comes from the line along which tears flow. The appearance of the valley of tears is a consequence of the natural aging process of the skin. With age, the adipose tissue located under the eyelids and around the cheek moves downwards, and the eye sockets begin to subside. Muscle flaccidity and loss of collagen and elastin also play a part in this process. All this makes the patients even younger than 40 years old to look for ways to eliminate the valley of tears under the eyes.
