Jowls on the face - what are they: how to remove, get rid of and tighten the oval

Definition

A decrease in turgor leads to the fact that the skin begins to sag in the lower part of the cheeks, forming an unnatural, irregular oval of the face. It does not look aesthetically pleasing at all, indicating not only age-related changes, but also many bad habits, as well as a lack of timely and effective care.

What causes jowls

There are many reasons for the occurrence of such defects, among them: Genetics. If relatives had a similar problem, preventive measures should be started as early as possible.

1. Lack of sufficient rest. Lack of sleep affects the condition of the skin. Also, cosmetologists do not recommend sleeping on your stomach.
2. Bad habits do not adversely affect the entire human body.
3. Dramatic weight loss. Reducing the subcutaneous fat layer contributes to sagging skin - the stretched dermis does not have time to recover due to a strong jump in weight.
4. Stress. Try to maintain a calm state, use sedatives and contact specialists in moments of particular psycho-emotional stress.
5. Age factor. Some people may experience symptoms as early as 25-30 years of age, while others may experience symptoms by 50-60 years of age.
6. Overweight.
7. UV radiation. Photoaging is the main cause of skin defects. The process reduces elasticity and leads to dehydration.
8. Clenching of the jaws. When a person clenches his teeth too hard, the muscle becomes overstrained, which stretches over time and cannot support the weight of the skin.
9. Incorrect posture. It leads to the disruption of the natural geometry of the torso, which affects the entire body.
10. Lack of collagen and elastin. It can be a consequence of hormonal diseases, as well as age-related, genetic and other reasons.
11. Anatomical features. A small chin itself is the root cause of the formation of jowls at a young age. Therefore, for people concerned about this problem, surgical intervention with the installation of special supporting implants is recommended.

These are only the main factors, not counting the negative impact of the environment, allergic reactions to cosmetics and chemicals and other processes that can disrupt the natural mechanisms of the biological functioning of skin cells, leading to loss of turgor.

Correcting the situation with the help of cosmetologists

The most effective conservative methods for eliminating this defect is a visit to a cosmetology salon. The doctor will be able to determine the root cause, the degree of neglect of the problem, and also choose a set of procedures that will help in the fight for the beauty and youth of the skin. Among the existing tools:

• hardware cosmetology;
• injections;
• non-injection drugs;
• cosmetical tools;
• massage and physiotherapy.

With the combination of all these approaches, it is possible to achieve not only a visual reduction of the defect, but also completely remove it or significantly slow down the sagging. All methods should be aimed at improving turgor, stimulating one’s own synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues, reducing the number of damaged, dysfunctional cells, and their renewal.

How to remove jowls on your face at home

It is quite difficult to cope with such a problem at home. All methods can be classified as preventative rather than producing tangible results.

The most effective method can only be if a person is overweight. With proper weight loss, fat will disappear from the cheeks, and with additional care, the skin will quickly tighten and create a harmonious oval of the face. However, you should not allow sudden weight loss, which will only worsen the problem. The best option is to lose 4-5 kg ​​per month under the strict supervision of a nutritionist and endocrinologist.

If the problem has not yet gone far and is just beginning to appear, use massages, masks, and exercises as a correction or prevention.

Endoscopic facelift

It is a minimally invasive surgical technique. It is performed using a probe with a video camera and special instruments through small incisions (up to 2 cm) in the scalp and oral cavity. The use of special equipment allows the surgeon to obtain a magnified image of tissue, thereby avoiding damage to blood vessels and subcutaneous sensory nerves. Maintaining blood flow in the skin and tissues significantly reduces the severity of swelling and negates the likelihood of baldness.

Ideal candidates for endoscopic plastic surgery are: young patients (from 30 to 40 years old) with the first stage of aging and pronounced changes in the upper and middle zone of the face; men with thinning hair who find it difficult to hide scars with hair and cosmetics; patients with the need for re-lifting of the upper and middle part of the face; patients with deep horizontal and glabellar wrinkles on the forehead; patients with drooping or drooping eyebrows.

Endoscopic lifting is performed under local anesthesia in combination with intravenous sedation. Its duration is 2.5 - 3 hours.

The stitches are removed after 8-10 days. The rehabilitation period is 9 - 14 days. Endoscopic plastic surgery leaves virtually no scars.

At the same time, the procedure allows you to smooth out vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead and folds between the eyebrows, eliminate crow's feet and bags under the eyes, lift drooping eyebrows, and even out the contour and oval of the face.

Endoscopic facelift can be combined with blepharoplasty, lipofilling, and neck lift. This is an ideal choice for young patients with problems in the upper and middle third of the face without significant excess skin, which makes it possible to do without incisional surgery.

This technique is not inferior in results to open facial plastic surgery and allows you to achieve excellent and harmonious rejuvenation. The operation is performed at Uclinic by an experienced doctor with more than 20 years of practice. More than a hundred patients entrusted their beauty to the hands of Said Doshalovich.

Is it possible to fight jowls using conservative methods?

The only effective way is plastic surgery, threads and other interventions that will completely eliminate the unwanted defect. All other options will help in cases where deficiencies have just begun to form. They will help tighten the oval a little and prevent the rapid progression of sagging skin.

If the changes are critical, then only surgical methods will help restore turgor. In the future, you can use conservative ones to prolong the effect. With insufficient care, even after plastic surgery, the problem may return again, which will require more expensive and drastic interventions to restore beauty and youth.

Jowl massage

Quite an effective remedy. After applying cosmetics, you should move with special massage rollers or hands in the direction from the chin, to the sides and up to the ears. Massaging can also be done with a soft towel soaked in saline solution. After finishing, the salt must be washed off, and a moisturizer or anti-aging cream is applied to the skin.

Removing jowls on the face with lifting masks

Both pharmacy and home recipes are suitable. In the case of folk remedies, aloe, honey, essential oils of orange, cedar, tea tree, and argan will help. Among store-bought products, you should choose those that have the following on the label: panthenol, allantoin, marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, snail mucin and others.

Exercises for jowls

Beautiful and tightened skin on any part of the body is unthinkable without strong muscles. The face is no exception to the rule. Let's consider a special set of exercises that allows you to keep muscle fibers in good shape:

1. It is necessary to puff out your cheeks strongly. Then roll the air from one side to the other for 30 seconds.
2. Imagine a candle in front of you, purse your lips and sharply blow out the imaginary fire at least 50-60 times.
3. Press your index fingers to your cheeks and then try to smile. Hold your hands firmly enough so that the effort you put into this process is noticeable.
4. Alternately move your lips to one side and the other. Wrinkles and other irregularities on the tense part of the face should be smoothed out.
5. Relax your lips. They should remain in this position until the end of the exercise. Stick your tongue out as far as possible and lift the tip up. Repeat the movement for a minute.

Face fitness will help prolong youth and tighten the unclear contours of the face. It is enough to devote 15-30 minutes a day to the procedures. It is good to combine them with massage, lifting masks and other care products that improve turgor.

Cosmeceuticals

The symbiosis of cosmetic preparations and nutraceuticals has proven itself in the fight against cosmetic defects. Such compositions have both a caring effect and a healing effect on the skin. Rare plant extracts and patented effective vitamin and protein complexes help stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues and restore water-fat balance.

Cosmetics from the RHANA corporation contain the necessary proteins, vitamins, micro- and macrocomponents, growth factors necessary for cell renewal and healing:

• GHC Placental Cosmetic is a biocorrector cream for intensive rejuvenation. Makes the skin denser, more elastic and firmer.

The main advantages of non-surgical lifting

A non-surgical facelift is a gentle anti-aging procedure that is used by clients who are hesitant about plastic surgery. The technique is prescribed to patients with pronounced age-related changes, such as:

• dry, flabby skin that has lost its tightness;
• expression lines, age wrinkles;
• gravitational ptosis, jowls;
• sickly color;
• dark spots;
• bags, bruises under the eyes.

The main advantage of facial rejuvenation without surgery is the virtual complete absence of contraindications. The procedure is not prescribed for pregnant women, breastfeeding, as well as patients diagnosed with oncology, diseases of the hematopoietic system, or mental disorders.

A non-surgical way to combat age-related changes has almost no side effects. In the first 3 to 5 days, bruises, hematomas, and swelling will be noticeable on the face. But if you follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations and do not expose the skin to aggressive influences during rehabilitation, these phenomena will soon disappear on their own. No special treatment.

Another advantage of the technique is painlessness. Most anti-aging procedures are performed using local anesthesia, which is easier to tolerate by patients and does not cause complications.

Any type of lifting without surgery does not require hospitalization. Immediately after the procedure, the patient can return to their normal lifestyle, not forgetting to follow the rules of rehabilitation. After non-surgical rejuvenation, there are no scars, scars or other cosmetic defects. Along with the tightening, internal regeneration processes are launched, lymph and blood circulation improves, blood vessels are strengthened, and the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for the elasticity, freshness, and healthy appearance of the dermis, is activated.

The results of non-surgical lifting are noticeable after the first session. Over time, the effect will increase. Almost every tightening method is effective for several years, and if you properly care for your skin during this time, the results will last even longer.

How to tighten facial jowls surgically

The most effective, but also radical, method of correcting the situation is surgery. It is worth remembering that any intervention in the human body is accompanied by risks. Therefore, before contacting a surgeon, it is necessary to undergo a complete examination by the attending physician.

Today, there are small, gentle techniques that allow you to restore turgor with minimal intervention and tissue damage. These tasks should be a priority in solving the problems of aesthetic medicine.

Doctors also recommend contacting a medical facility before surgery to find the root cause of the prolapse. Unless, of course, they are obvious (overweight, genetics, age over 50). In this case, you can guarantee a long-term effect after applying the procedures.

Contour plastic surgery of jowls

One of the simplest methods that has proven itself well in combating sagging skin. The technique is based on injections of a special gel or filler into the deep layers of the dermis. The punctures are made at a sufficient depth so as not to form visible tubercles. The basis of such preparations is hyaluronic acid. It is quickly absorbed by cells, but at the same time stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in tissues, moisturizes, and prevents dehydration. This method is minimally invasive and low-traumatic, so it can be used even without prior consultation with a therapist. The compositions differ depending on the brand, but mainly contain:

• hyaluronic acid as a base;
• vitamin-protein complexes for nutrition;
• lidocaine to make the process as painless as possible;
• buffers to prevent the risk of inflammation.

As you can see, there is nothing dangerous in the compositions; on the contrary, all these substances are necessary for the normal functioning of dermal cells, but they are often lacking. The invasive method allows you to immediately deliver substances in large quantities to the deep layers of the dermis, triggering the synthesis of collagen, elastin and cell structure renewal.

Jowl lift with threads

Thread lifting is often used and is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It is based on the fact that thin threads are introduced under the skin, which may differ in texture:

• gold;
• mesothreads;
• Aptos and so on.

There are enough species to list them all. They can be without thorns or with them, additional notches. They are inserted into the deep layers of the skin to create a so-called frame. It provides additional support, allowing you to improve the oval and geometry, and prevent further sagging. The result lasts from a year to five, depending on the anatomical features, care and initial choice of materials.

Installation of implants

Maxillofacial surgical inserts made of porous polyethylene help solve these problems by giving the face the desired features and geometry.

Contrary to popular belief, such an intervention is safe, although it is considered traumatic. Cases of material rejection are rare, since components of high biocompatibility are used for the manufacture of implants. Complications occur less frequently than with Botox and other minimally invasive methods. In addition, if necessary, the inserts can be easily removed, and thin cosmetic seams remain invisible to others. They are tightly fixed, do not move even with impacts, and the procedure itself is performed once and for life.

Description of thread lifting

Thread lifting involves the subcutaneous introduction of a self-absorbing material that is biocompatible with the human body, with the help of which it will be possible to form a reliable frame and make the skin more toned, younger, and refreshed. The threads are introduced subcutaneously using ultra-thin cosmetic needles-cannulas, which minimally injure the skin.

The advantages of thread lifting are:

• low-injury;
• the effect lasts for several years;
• short session duration – 30 – 40 minutes;
• biocompatibility of the material with the human body;
• there is no need to use general anesthesia;
• Hospitalization is not required, you can immediately return home after the procedure.

The rejuvenation procedure is carried out using the following types of threads:

• Smooth. Used to lift cheeks, cheekbones, and get rid of a double chin.
• With notches. Along the entire length of the fiber there are notches that are securely fixed in soft tissues, clinging to them like hooks. Threads with notches are intended for correction of the oval of the face, neck, cheeks, and nasolabial folds.
• Spiral. They provide a pronounced lifting effect, so they are often used to model and tighten the oval of the face.
• Springs. Reliably hold soft tissues in the required condition.
• Conical. Along the entire length of the threads there are cone-shaped nodules, which, during implantation, are securely fixed in the soft tissues. Over time, the cones dissolve.
• Also, absorbable and non-absorbable threads can be used during the procedure. Self-absorbing fibers disappear after 8 - 12 months, so the procedure will have to be repeated. The effect of non-absorbable threads lasts for 2–3 years, but there is a risk that the foreign material will not take root and will begin to be rejected by the body. In such situations, an operation to remove the fibers is prescribed.

Jowl prevention

Any problem is easier to prevent. Therefore, in order not to look for methods to get rid of it in the future, you should follow a few simple recommendations:

• perform small gymnastics for the face every day for 10-15 minutes;
• do not forget about the use of skincare moisturizing and lifting cosmetics;
• try to follow a daily routine, get more rest;
• avoid the negative impact of stressful situations, if they occur - take sedatives that reduce the destructive effects of stress factors;
• move more and eat right to avoid the accumulation of fat deposits;
• give up alcohol and smoking;
• drink enough fluids, make sure that there is no tissue dehydration;
• do not eat too salty foods, minimize salt intake in the diet;
• try to maintain correct posture, especially when working at a computer or when viewing content on mobile gadgets;
• select cosmetics that suit your skin type;
• When going outside, even in the cold season, use creams with UV protection.

These are fairly simple tips that are easy to implement to prolong your beauty and youth.

Massage, nutrition, lifestyle

To achieve maximum effect from cosmetics, use them in combination with a simple massage. Apply a special massage product (for example, sculpting oil concentrate) and perform the procedure with massage movements. Start from the nose and gradually move along the face to the temporal area. Next, you can work on the skin from the chin to the earlobes, from the lips to the ears, from the forehead to the temples, from the eyebrows to the hairline. It is better not to massage the area around the eyes so as not to injure the thin skin. Also, don’t forget about your neck and décolleté - massage this area with light movements, moving from bottom to top.

Remember the need for good sleep. The time from 23:00 to 2:00 is the most important for beautiful skin. The regeneration process is as active as possible during this period - use it to preserve the beauty of your skin and try to fall asleep before midnight.

Also, don't forget to watch your diet. The daily diet must have a balanced combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and must also contain vitamins and microelements. Maintain hydration and drink enough clean water at the rate of 30 ml per kilogram of weight.
