1) clear cheekbones and a smooth transition from the cheekbones to the cheek area 2) a straight line of the lower jaw - without sagging or jowls 3) a rounded chin, emphasizing the V-shape of the face.
If all three zones need correction, then they can be carried out not in one, but in several procedures, although there are no contraindications to a one-time tightening of the oval of the face.
Why is the slimness of the oval of the face impaired?
Problems with age-related oval of the face include drooping of the zygomatic region, deficits in the temporal part, and loss of the contour of the angle of the lower jaw. A comprehensive correction should be aimed at correcting all (or most) of the listed deficiencies.
Until the age of 35, the aging process is not noticeable, since the muscles and skin are still toned, and the production of its own collagen continues in the middle layers of the skin. Closer to 40-45 years, the elasticity of the skin and ligaments decreases due to a lack of its own collagen and gravitational ptosis, the face loses its former elasticity, which leads to sagging tissue, disruption of the oval of the face and the appearance of jowls.
The described symptoms are most characteristic of women who are prone to obesity or who are in the stage of actively losing excess weight. Also at risk are women with round and square face shapes.
Circular facelift
With age, the skin loses its tone, becomes inelastic and flabby.
Wrinkles make themselves felt more and more persistently. The reason for age-related changes lies in the sagging of soft tissues, as a result of which unsightly folds and wrinkles appear, and the oval of the face loses its clear contours. In this situation, cosmetologists offer a circular facelift - one of the most popular plastic surgery techniques. This is a special operation aimed at rejuvenating the skin of the neck and face. It makes sense to carry out it in case of fine-wrinkled type of aging, when the entire face and neck are covered with a fine network of wrinkles.
Advantages of a circular facelift
A facelift involves a complex effect on the skin; rejuvenation procedures involve the entire face and neck. Thanks to a circular facelift, many age-related problems can be eliminated:
- smooth out nasolabial wrinkles;
- eliminate the double chin, which will make the face thinner;
- restore the former oval of the face;
- get rid of wrinkles in the cheek area;
- restore elasticity to the soft tissues of the cheeks;
- if necessary, adjust the position and shape of the eyebrows;
- restore beautiful neck contours;
- lift drooping eyelids.
A circular facelift will allow you to solve all of the above problems in one operation and restore youth to the skin by completely redistributing the skin, eliminating excess skin, strengthening and stimulating the facial muscles.

How is a circular facelift performed?
Like any surgical intervention, a facelift requires an individual approach to each case. The patient must undergo all preparatory procedures and strictly follow the recommendations of the plastic surgeon during the recovery period.
General anesthesia is required when performing a circumferential lift. After which the surgeon, by cutting the skin, redistributes the facial muscles, skin and fat deposits as needed.
The skin is secured with special threads that do not leave scars.
Next, special technologies are used to secure the skin in the desired position. The skin is tightened and the surgeon removes excess fat. During one operation, the skin of both the face and neck is treated.
Indications for surgery
A circular facelift is a medical procedure, so it is prescribed only if there are indications for its implementation and there are no contraindications.
Indications for a circular facelift:
- deep and pronounced nasolabial folds;
- sagging chin and cheekbones;
- loss of facial contours;
- hollows on the cheeks;
- numerous wrinkles;
- the presence of excess fat in the neck area;
- sagging skin on the forehead and eyebrows;
- drooping corners of the eyes and eyelids.
The operation is performed if several symptoms are present.
Contraindications for surgery
Surgeons do not recommend performing this operation more than 2 times. Since this can lead to pathological changes in the face. Also, you cannot perform a circular facelift if you have the following diseases:
- any form of oncology and benign tumors;
- infectious diseases;
- blood diseases;
- any acute and chronic diseases;
- diabetes;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- hypertension;
- coagulopathy;
- predisposition to the formation of keloid scars.
Neglecting these contraindications can lead to dangerous consequences that will be almost impossible to eliminate. Before the procedure, the plastic surgeon prescribes a comprehensive medical examination to ensure that the patient does not have pathologies or contraindications that preclude surgery.
Benefits of hardware lifting
Hardware lifting methods do not injure the skin or violate its integrity. Already after the first session there is a visible effect!
There is no need to be afraid of side effects - the risk of their occurrence after a hardware lift is minimal. Experts say: during sessions, patients do not feel pain, and afterward they do not notice swelling and inflammation. All this thanks to a gentle lifting technique.
There are several hardware lifting technologies. Let's consider those that give predictable results and are currently actively practiced by cosmetologists.
Facelift without surgery
A facelift using non-surgical methods is suitable for the so-called deformational type of aging. When the face begins to gradually swell, the eyebrows and double chin droop and small wrinkles appear.
However, there are also contraindications here. So, it is better to refuse the procedure during pregnancy, herpes, eczema, cancer, inflammatory processes on the skin, etc. In some cases, a lift is not performed for blood diseases and heart disease.
Among the advantages of a facelift without surgery are:
- no side effects;
- results are available after the first session;
- short rehabilitation period;
- the presence of a healing effect for the whole body;
- Carrying out procedures on an outpatient basis without anesthesia.
Are there possible consequences or complications?
Failure to comply with contraindications may result in negative consequences. These include:
- swelling;
- burns;
- itching;
- exacerbation of herpes;
- the appearance of high skin sensitivity.
In a situation where swelling and redness have not disappeared within three days, you should come for a follow-up appointment at the clinic where the procedure was performed. You can reduce the risk of unwanted reactions if, within 4 days:
- do not sunbathe;
- do not visit the solarium, bathhouse, sauna;
- do not carry out cosmetic procedures;
- do not engage in too vigorous physical activity.
On the day of the procedure, it is not recommended to use other techniques aimed at deep and aggressive effects. If all rules are followed, there are no side effects.
Types of facelift without surgery
There are many methods of non-surgical facelift, some of which are performed only in the clinic using special means, such as mesothreads. Some are suitable for all skin types, while others may not have the expected effect. Therefore, it is advisable to decide on the type of facelift together with a specialist.
- Hardware lift. This type of lift without surgery is based on the use of ultrasound, laser radiation and current. The procedures are carried out using special devices on an outpatient basis by experienced specialists.
- Laser rejuvenation. Using laser exposure, you can get rid of wrinkles, narrow pores, post-acne, smooth out skin texture and slightly tighten the oval of the face. During the procedure, a laser beam penetrates the skin, slightly warming it up. Thanks to this, the synthesis of collagen fibers starts and skin rejuvenation occurs.
- Ultrasonic lifting with SMAS effect. This world-famous technique is used to get rid of wrinkles, tighten the shape of the face and improve skin color. During effective ultrasonic lifting, a safe ultrasonic wave acts on the skin so that collagen fibers contract and their synthesis starts. As a result, the skin is renewed, and this process takes several months.
- RF lifting. RF lifting is an absolutely painless method of skin rejuvenation, the results of which are visible after just one procedure. Skin rejuvenation in this case occurs due to electric current supplied in the radio frequency range. Its impulses warm up skin cells, providing a strong lifting effect.
- Plasmolifting. This technique is based on the subcutaneous injection of the patient's blood plasma. It is performed like this: a certain amount of blood is taken from the patient and passed through a special centrifuge. There it breaks down into platelet-rich plasma and red blood cell-rich mass. A portion of the plasma is injected into the patient under the skin, which initiates cell rejuvenation processes.
- Photorejuvenation. It uses special intense pulsed light to stimulate the active production of skin cells. Metabolism and blood circulation also accelerate, which leads to a quick effect. Photorejuvenation procedures can not only eliminate wrinkles, but also remove vascular formations and age spots on the skin.
- Darsonvalization. Darsonvalization strengthens the facial muscles and allows you to tighten the oval of the face. This method of rejuvenation without surgical intervention is based on the effect of electrical alternating current on the epidermis. A variable frequency current activates metabolic processes in the skin, launching a rapid process of cell renewal. The procedure also allows you to get rid of wrinkles, puffiness, acne, excessive oily skin and acne scars.
What do you need to know before choosing?
Despite the fact that the procedure is safe, there are some subtleties. There are three types of devices. Monopolar ones are among the most powerful. They have a deep impact and are used only once. When used, a high-frequency current is created that heats the tissue to a temperature of 60 degrees. Due to the risk of damage, devices of this class are rarely used.
Bipolars are soft. With their help, individual areas are treated, the depth of impact is insignificant. To obtain a good result, a longer course will be required, but there is less chance of side effects and complications.
A new word in the world of cosmetology is tripolar lifting. It involves the use of several electrodes, with the help of which the poles are regularly changed within one procedure. Thanks to this, energy enters different layers of the skin. It is used as an auxiliary procedure after liposuction and plastic surgery. It accelerates collagen synthesis and is part of weight loss programs.
Facelift at home
Facelift is a non-traumatic and completely safe method.
Facelifting is a special gymnastics, a set of exercises, like a massage, developed by cosmetologists and doctors. When performed regularly, the results are excellent: even deep wrinkles on the face are smoothed out. Skin tightening occurs naturally, without any surgery.
Correction of the lower part of the face
Lifting the lower part of the face allows you to remove double tucks, eliminate sagging skin in the jaw area, restore the tone of the facial muscles, increase blood microcirculation and generally rejuvenate the skin.
Facelift exercises for the lower face:
- Extend the lower jaw as much as possible.
- Cover your upper lip with your lower lip.
- Stretch your facial muscles high.
- At the same time, squint your left eye and raise the left corner of your mouth.
Repeat the same steps, holding the middle of your face with your finger.
Gymnastics should be performed in front of a mirror to control your actions. While maintaining the indicated position of your face, you need to slowly turn your head. As soon as the shoulder comes into view, you need to freeze for a few seconds and return to the starting position.
The exercise is repeated on the other half of the face. Gymnastics are performed at least 5 times.
A positive cosmetic effect will be visible after the first sessions.
Facelift for eyes
To eliminate wrinkles around the eyes, you need to perform the following set of exercises daily:
- Use your fingers to stretch the outer corners of your eyes.
- Blink your left eye while holding the corners.
- Then blink your right eye in the same way.
- Perform 10-15 times for each eye.
To obtain a stable result, you must constantly practice gymnastics.
Facelift of the forehead area
The basic principle of facelift exercises is maximum relaxation of all facial muscles and tension of only a certain part. This gymnastic complex will help tighten the forehead, improve blood circulation in the skin, eliminate wrinkles, activate metabolism and collagen synthesis.
Exercises to eliminate horizontal frontal wrinkles:
- While sitting at the table, place your elbows on the surface and completely relax your facial muscles.
- Keep your fingers on your head in the direction of hair growth.
- Slowly pull your forehead skin up with your fingers.
- Existing wrinkles on the forehead will be smoothed out.
- Then gently pull the skin down and hold for 3 seconds.
Repeat the complex 6-7 times.
Another exercise is intense eyebrow movement. It is necessary to raise your eyebrows as high as possible at least 12 times.
Exercises to eliminate vertical frontal wrinkles:
- Place your palms on your forehead. The thumbs are on the back of the head.
- Press your forehead with your hands, raising your eyebrows as much as possible.
- Raise your eyebrows as high as possible and hold for 6 seconds.
Repeat the entire complex 5 times.
Ultrasonic lifting
Ultrasonic lifting is an alternative to a circular surgical facelift. Ultrasonic waves are applied to the skin. They penetrate to a depth of 4.5 mm and reach the muscle complex. Ultrasound stimulates the contraction of collagen fibers. Thanks to these contractions, support for the facial muscles is formed like a mesh.
Ultrasonic lifting can be done at any time of the year - exposure to the sun is not prohibited.
Compared to the long recovery period after a surgical lift, recovery comes quickly - there will be no redness on the skin, you can immediately return to normal life. The result lasts for 2-3 months or more.
