Why jowls appear on the face - how to easily remove sagging cheeks 

What are jowls and how do they appear?

The natural aging process is the main cause of jowls.

Jowls are the area where skin sagging occurs, located on both sides of the lower part of the face. Cosmetologists identify this problem by drooping of the lower edge of the cheeks.

Common causes of jowls:

1. The natural aging process is the main cause of jowls. Over the years, the human body is unable to produce sufficient amounts of collagen and elastane. Their deficiency leads to sagging skin.
2. As a result of aging, the facial muscles weaken and stop pulling the skin on the cheeks.
3. Changes in hormonal levels are reflected in the sculpture of the face. The protruding points of the front part of the head are slightly smoothed out, which leads to sagging of the skin along the relief.
4. Over the years, the amount of melanin in the body, which protects human skin from ultraviolet rays, decreases. The sun has a negative impact on the condition of the skin.
5. The enemy of beautiful facial skin can be excess weight. People who are not overweight develop jowls much later than those who are overweight. If you eat improperly, jowls can appear even at a young age.

In addition to the indicated reasons for the appearance of jowls, the sources of their formation also include:

• characteristic structure of the facial bones;
• drinking alcohol and smoking;
• overstrain of the nervous system;
• distorted facial expressions;
• weather conditions (cold, strong wind, sun);
• unhealthy diet;
• influence of medicinal drugs;
• hormonal disorders;
• sudden weight loss;
• small chin;
• pregnancy.

Why do jowls appear on the face?

Jaws on the face indicate age-related changes that have occurred not only to the skin, but also to the underlying muscles that hold fatty tissue. Experts point to the following reasons for the appearance of jowls on the cheeks:

• Presence of fatty tissue. As already mentioned, the cheeks are the only area on the face where there is fat. The more powerful the fat layer, the harder it is for the muscles and skin to hold it, and accordingly, the more noticeable the jowls. However, it would be a mistake to assume that those with sunken cheeks do not suffer from sagging cheeks. The defect in such cases is not so pronounced and manifests itself in the form of a skin fold that has fallen down due to the influence of gravity (ptosis).
• Aging of the body. Skin is a natural framework that forms and supports the human body. The skin is endowed with such abilities by elastin and collagen, proteins produced by fibroblast cells. With age, usually after 30 years, the intensity of protein fiber production decreases, which becomes noticeable by a decrease in skin turgor and the appearance of wrinkles. Skin that lacks collagen is unable to retain fatty tissue, which is inexorably pulled down by the same force of gravity.

How to quickly get rid of jowls at home?

In order to eliminate jowls, there is no need to make an appointment with a cosmetologist and pay a lot of money for cosmetic procedures. Prevention and treatment of sagging skin in the form of jowls can be carried out right at home.

For those who developed jowls at a young age due to obesity, there is only one recommendation - you need to normalize your weight. It is important to note that losing weight with diets will not give the desired and correct results. It's better to focus on eating right and doing exercise.

The reason is that if you lose weight quickly, your skin will begin to sag and your jowls will become even larger. This means that you should not lose weight too quickly.

Other women who want to get rid of jowls must first stop leading a bad lifestyle - quit bad habits, start eating healthy foods, exercise, and constantly take good care of your facial skin.

A woman can use several techniques to combat jowls with her own hands at home:

1. Cosmetic care.
2. Massage.
3. Exercises.

Effective cosmetic care for jowls consists of daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing procedures for delicate facial skin: various masks, creams, special serums, lotions, etc. Such products can be purchased at pharmacies, cosmetic stores, or you can prepare them yourself.

Photos of patients before and after jowl lift

There are several ways to get rid of facial jowls surgically:

• using contour plastic surgery - on average the cost is 20-30 thousand rubles;
• non-absorbable threads - the cost will vary depending on the number of threads, but can be from 5 to 20 thousand rubles;
• installation of an implant – 50 thousand rubles;
• endoscopic lifting (facelift) – 300 thousand rubles;
• liposuction – 40 thousand rubles.

Contour plastic

Contour plastic surgery is a procedure during which fillers are injected into problem areas. The preparations are high-density and contain hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite. Due to the filling of the soft tissues of the face, they “expand”, the “excess” skin is stretched - and the jowls are simply hidden.

Cheek contour contouring

The procedure is not carried out for everyone; the doctor must take into account the individual biological and chemical processes in the patient’s body. For example, if there is a tendency to sag due to gravity, then such manipulation will not only not give a positive result, but will also worsen the appearance - the filler will sag along with the skin.

It is believed that contour plastic surgery can solve the problem in question only in those patients who are not obese, but have a problem with the formation of excess skin.

The cost of the procedure ranges from 20-30 thousand rubles.

Threads

You can tighten sagging skin and correct the oval of your face with threads, and for this you use absorbable or non-absorbable threads. The doctor inserts the threads through specially made subcutaneous tunnels up to the chin, brings their ends out through the periosteum of the mastoid process - located behind the ears, where they are fixed.

Thread lifting has side effects, requires a recovery period and has its own contraindications. Since local anesthesia is used during the manipulation process, it will be necessary to take into account the presence/absence of allergies to such drugs. The obvious disadvantage of jowl lifting with threads is the short period of preservation of the result. After the end of the recovery period, the procedure will need to be repeated in 6-8 months.

The price of thread lifting ranges from 5-20 thousand rubles and depends on the number of threads that are inserted subcutaneously.

Implant installation

Installing an implant in the chin is a full-fledged surgical intervention that allows you to change the contour of the oval of the face and “tighten” sagging skin. The operation is performed under general anesthesia, requires a long recovery period and has many contraindications:

• problems in the blood clotting system;
• diseases of the heart and blood vessels that occur in severe form and are characterized by frequent exacerbations;
• neurological, mental disorders, including epilepsy (even if it is in the stage of long-term drug remission);
• severe forms of liver and kidney pathologies.

The implant may be rejected, and complications are possible in the early and late postoperative period. But the results are amazing - no repeat surgery is required, and the results are guaranteed to last for several years.

Facial silicone implants

The cost of the operation is within 50 thousand rubles - this does not take into account the price of material and postoperative recovery.

Facelift

Surgical face lifting involves the use of an endoscope. Endoscopic lifting has the following features:

• the method is considered safe and low-traumatic;
• manipulation is carried out only if there is no large excess skin;
• The essence of the procedure is the separation of the adhesions that connect the skin and the lower jaw from the inside.

Endoscopic lifting is performed without the use of general anesthesia; the recovery period is very short and does not require professional care for the patient. Complications and side effects are recorded extremely rarely and are considered an exception - for example, if a specialist does not take into account the general health condition of the patient and does not specify contraindications.

The price of endoscopic lifting is high and in some clinics reaches 300 thousand rubles. The cost includes preparation (consultations, examinations, tests), the actual work of the surgical team, and patient care throughout the entire recovery period.

Liposuction

If the cause of the formation of jowls is obesity, an excess amount of adipose tissue on the face, then liposuction can be performed. The operation is performed using the classic method - incisions are made behind the ears, through which the fat is sucked out using a vacuum. The manipulation involves placing the patient in the inpatient department of the clinic and conducting a 14-day rehabilitation period (minimum period).

The cost of liposuction of the lower part of the face is on average 40 thousand rubles.

In cosmetology, a variety of methods for eliminating jowls are used - the introduction of lipolytics, laser nanoperforation, bioreinforcement, lymphatic drainage massage, they are selected individually. The patient’s age, general health, severity of the problem, skin type, existing contraindications, body weight and other factors must be taken into account.

Subcutaneously, a cosmetologist can introduce special preparations that belong to the category of lipolytics - such fillers help to rupture the membrane of fat cells. Then the contents flow out of them, which are removed by the lymphatic system. Such drugs have a number of advantages:

• are hypoallergenic and can be used on overly sensitive skin;
• They act gradually, but the final result lasts for several months (up to a year);
• do not contribute to greater sagging of the skin after removing fat deposits by accelerating the synthesis of collagen and elastin by dermal cells.

Filler with the drug Aqualix is ​​especially often used - it “burns” subcutaneous fat, does not affect the skin and muscle fibers, and is eliminated from the body within 6 months.

The price of such sessions varies; one injection can cost 2000-2500 rubles. The number of injections is determined by the cosmetologist, but there should not be less than 2.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with what dyshormonal mastopathy in women is: diagnosis and treatment methods

You can tighten your jowls with other cosmetic procedures:

• laser nanoperforation – renews the skin, 5 procedures will be needed to obtain the desired result;
• bioreinforcement - a biological stimulator is injected subcutaneously, which restores the ability of dermal cells to rejuvenate and regenerate;
• lymphatic drainage massage – removes toxins, improves lymph flow, tightens the skin;
• myostimulation - electrical impulses are applied to the skin, causing it to tighten.

Facial myostimulation procedure

Such procedures do not completely eliminate the problem; they can be used in the absence of pronounced age-related changes and require periodic repetition of sessions. The maximum period for maintaining the results obtained is 6 months, after which the jowls will form again. Manipulations are useless if the cause of sagging skin in the lower part of the face is obesity or hormonal imbalance.

Volume facelift is a procedure aimed at strengthening the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and adding volume to certain areas of the face, for which volumizing gels are used. The most commonly used preparations are based on calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres Radiesse (Germany), as well as hyaluronic fillers Princess Volume, Austria, Juvederm Voluma, USA, which, due to the increased density of the active substance, recreate volume in problem areas.

Lymphatic drainage massage will not remove jowls, but will improve the condition of the skin. The essence of the procedure is to free tissues from waste and toxins. Lymphatic drainage massage can be manual or mechanical; it is especially indicated for patients with facial swelling, which makes the jowls look more massive than they actually are.

Facial myostimulation - this procedure is based on alternate relaxation and tension of the muscles, supplied by electric current pulses. Muscle contractions activate all internal processes, as a result of which the muscles are tightened, and the subcutaneous fatty tissue, which has dropped in the form of jowls, is reduced.

Attention! You can radically get rid of jowls if you perform a surgical facelift, because salon procedures allow you to forget about the problem only for a short time or have a firming and rejuvenating effect on the skin. Various techniques work best in combination; which of them are necessary for the patient will be determined by the cosmetologist during the consultation.

Jowls on the face form ahead of schedule due to some individual features of the facial structure (for example, a poorly developed chin), and in addition, the cheeks sag due to endocrine diseases and rapid weight loss. It is clear that bad habits - smoking, drinking alcohol, disordered eating - will not add beauty. Of course, the influence of these reasons is indirect and related to their destructive effect on the body as a whole.

In addition, to prevent the appearance of jowls (more precisely, to delay their appearance) use:

• modeling masks, the main ingredients of which are chicken egg white, lemon, tar soap, sour cream or kefir. There are ready-made anti-jowl masks on sale - experts advise choosing those that contain panthenol, algae and sea plankton extracts.
• Jowl massage is an affordable and time-consuming manipulation that gives good and quick results. The main thing is to massage the jowls along the lines of least stretch of the skin; learn how exactly from the video tutorial:

Cosmetology eliminates large jowls through surgery. Official medicine reduces the average size of jowls using non-surgical methods. The effect comes quickly, the result is long-term.

MACS-lifting

Used for visually large jowls. An effective and low-traumatic technique. The healing process takes 1-2 weeks.

The surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear. Tightens the muscle and removes excess skin. At the same time, its tension occurs. The jowls before and after become almost invisible. As a result, the facial contour is reduced and the lower part is rejuvenated. Nasolabial folds are smoothed out and become almost invisible. There is no scar left after the procedure.

Application of fillers

What masks can be used against jowls?

One lemon is grated on a medium-sized grater to obtain the zest.

Cosmetic masks against jowls, as a rule, are made on the basis of natural marine components (various types of algae), as well as using chemicals such as panthenol, lecithin, allantoin.

You can prepare the following masks with your own hands at home:

1. Lemon mask. One lemon is grated on a medium-sized grater to obtain the zest. Then a little lemon juice and one large spoon of honey are added to the resulting zest.
2. Egg mask. The contents of one egg are mixed with a large spoon of high-fat cottage cheese. Pour a small spoon of olive oil into the mask
3. Milk mask. One tablespoon of warm low-fat milk is mixed with three large spoons of low-fat sour cream
4. Tar mask. 1/8 of a bar of tar soap is separated and ground on a grater. Soap shavings are diluted with a couple of spoons of sour cream, after which the mask is whipped into foam.

After using the masks, be sure to moisturize the skin with a nourishing cream. The frequency of using homemade masks is at least twice a week before going to bed. After about four weeks, jowls should be significantly reduced and loose skin tightened.

How to remove bulldog cheeks on your face and why they occur

Sagging facial skin and the appearance of sagging cheeks (jowls) can be caused by a number of factors.
The outer layer (or epidermis) of the facial skin is attached through the hypodermis to the underlying muscles, and it is these muscles, combined with the natural elasticity of the skin, that determine whether the face will look youthful or resemble a bulldog. There are many ways to remove bulldog cheeks from the face, such as exercise, plastic surgery, face masks, makeup, and dermal filler injections. But in order to delay the occurrence of such an unpleasant problem, it is necessary to exclude several reversible factors from those listed below.

The following factors influence the condition of the facial muscles:

• Aging is an irreversible factor. The weight of skin and fat can cause muscles to stretch and sag over time. Age-related loss of skin elasticity can contribute to sagging cheeks.
• Smoking is a reversible factor. Nicotine destroys collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity. In addition, smoking causes the blood vessels in the skin to narrow and thus impede blood circulation. Consequently, the skin is deprived of essential nutrients (such as vitamin A) that help fight damage.
• Working at a computer for a long time is a reversible factor. According to London cosmetic surgeon Dr Michael Prager, working long hours on a computer, as is common for most office workers, increases the risk of not only sagging cheeks, but also "turkey neck" or "double neck", along with other premature signs. aging such as wrinkles. The computer screen should be kept raised so that you do not have to lean down when reading.
• Sun exposure is a reversible factor. Those who spend a lot of time outdoors on hot, sunny days are at risk of developing facial ptosis earlier than people who stay indoors. Excessive exposure to UV rays destroys collagen in the skin in the long term. How to remove bulldog cheeks from your face if you have to spend a lot of time in the sun? Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) before leaving indoors.
• Genetics is an irreversible factor. Some people have a hereditary predisposition to bulldog cheeks. This may explain cases of sagging cheeks that appear at a young age.
• Weight loss is a reversible factor. As you gain weight, the skin on your face and other parts of your body stretches. Losing weight can lead to excess loose skin in the jaw and neck areas. How to remove bulldog cheeks on the face in this case? Either surgically, or gradual, rather than sudden, weight gain.

Formation process

With age, there is a gradual decrease in skin elasticity. Starting from 30–35 years, the content of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases significantly, and the ligaments that secure the subcutaneous tissue weaken.

The fatty tissue gradually shifts downwards, and the skin of the face becomes more and more stretched. Such changes may occur in some people after the 20th year of life. Although bulldog cheeks can affect anyone, people with fuller faces tend to get them much later compared to people with narrow faces.

For those who are looking for a way to remove bulldog cheeks on the face in the shortest possible time, there can be only one answer - surgery (chicklifting). Although it provides long-lasting results, cheek sagging may return as you age. In addition, it is expensive, starting from 50 thousand rubles with minimal complexity.

If bulldog cheeks have just begun to form, they can be removed using special gymnastics, “disguised” with makeup, or resort to independent or salon cosmetic procedures.

How to remove jowls with fillers?

To restore the contour with fillers, a product is injected into problem areas to fill the voids and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Filler is an injection drug that corrects minor tissue imperfections and cosmetic defects. Used to add volume to cheeks, lips, cheekbones.

In this way, only mild jowls can be removed. The effect of the procedures lasts about 1 year.

Procedures using injections:

• contour plastic surgery of the facial contour - injection of fillers containing calcium hydroxyapatite and hyaluronic acid. It will not help with pronounced drooping of the cheeks;
• intralipotherapy - the introduction of Aqualix, which promotes the burning of subcutaneous fat in a short time. The procedure is safe and painless. The drug is excreted by the body;
• bioreinforcement - the introduction of fillers that create a strong web-framework under the skin. The effect lasts for 0.5-1 year;
• volumetric facelift – introduction of volumizing gels into the desired areas. Volume is added in the right places. As a result, the facial contour is evened out, the skin is tightened, and jowls disappear.

Botox is used as a tightening agent. The botulinum toxin substance acts only on the muscles, without changing the subcutaneous tissue and soft tissues. At the same time, it is a toxic substance, although not dangerous to health in small quantities.

How can you get rid of jowls in the salon?

There are a large number of methods against jowls. Here are some techniques for restoring the oval of the face and rejuvenating the skin for those women who want to get rid of jowls in the salon.

1. Thermolifting . Many women really like this cosmetic procedure. Many people know thermolifting under the name RF lifting, which is more common. During the session, the skin is exposed to heat. The use of thermolifting helps old cells regenerate. As a result, loose skin tightens very quickly.
2. Lymphatic drainage massage . The massage technique is performed manually. The specialist massages the skin along the lymphatic vessels with weak and gentle movements. This procedure helps improve lymph flow and productively cleanse skin cells of accumulated toxins and breakdown products. The properties of lymphatic drainage massage include the ability to rid the skin of excess swelling, tissue fluid and fat. The massage does not cause any pain.
3. Injection cosmetology is another effective means of combating jowls. Using a syringe, a special preparation is injected under the skin to break down subcutaneous fat. The product used does not injure the muscles and skin, but at the same time significantly reduces the volume of fat masses in the cheek area.
4. Vector facelift is a well-known salon method, the result of which comes in a very short time. During the vector facelift, biostimulants are introduced into the skin, the composition of which contains hyaluronic acid. After this procedure, the oval of the face changes and the jowls are tightened. The duration of action of biostimulants is about a year.
5. Endoscopic lift . If the jowls are not very pronounced, then women can try to get rid of them using an endoscopic lift. This procedure tightens sagging cheeks and improves the shape of the face.
6. Laser nanoperforation . The procedure completely renews skin cells. For this, a special laser is used, which makes many microchannels on the surface of the skin that rejuvenate it. After five days after the procedure, the woman can lead her usual lifestyle and not be afraid of the sun's rays.
7. Mesothreads . The procedure involves placing special polydioxanone threads under the skin to form a frame that naturally tightens the skin. Mesothreads are introduced using microneedles only in certain places under the skin on the face. After the procedure, the mesothreads are completely invisible to prying eyes, and the results last for 2 years.

Preventing the appearance of jowls

Removing jowls and tightening the oval of the face can only be done through a complex effect on the problematic part of the face; this concept includes gymnastics, massages, the use of cosmetics, and regular caring procedures with masks according to folk recipes. These methods do not involve surgical intervention and are not very effective, but can help solve the problem if manipulations are started in a timely manner and carried out continuously.

Face building - exercises that will help prevent the appearance of jowls. If the problem already exists, then it is advisable to perform gymnastics only at the initial stage of its development. The procedure will take a maximum of 20 minutes per day, the first results will be noticeable within 4-5 weeks of classes.

The following exercises are considered the simplest complex against jowls:

• puff out your cheeks, roll the air from one to the other, then stretch out your lips like a “tube” and exhale - repeat 60 times;
• press your index fingers on your cheeks while smiling widely – 20 repetitions;
• take a razor with a closed blade and perform a movement that simulates shaving stubble - 3 minutes;
• sharply push your chin forward so that the tension/tension of the neck muscles is clearly felt - repeat 50 times;
• spread your fingers like a fan, apply to the area from the ears to the cheeks and apply pressure to the face, while smiling widely - 20 repetitions.

Each exercise is performed for 1-2 seconds, so a large number of repetitions fit into a total of 1-2 minutes.

Prevention of the formation of jowls should be carried out already at the age of 30. It consists in:

• performing massage – at least 2 times a week;
• using tightening, nourishing and moisturizing masks at home - at least 2 times a week;
• visiting a cosmetologist and performing safe, painless cosmetic procedures to increase the elasticity of the skin.

It is recommended to change your lifestyle: quit smoking, reduce the number of stressful situations, level your own psycho-emotional background (even if this requires the help of a psychologist). If you are overweight, you need to get rid of it before the first signs of aging appear.

With age, the skin loses elasticity and sags. Jowls are the lowered lower edge of the cheeks in the form of two shoes on either side of the chin. The oval of the face changes, its lower part becomes heavier. It looks unsightly, like old age bags, and adds a few extra years.

Shave on the face what is it:

• weakening of the masticatory muscle and changes in the tone of facial expressions;
• decreased production of collagen and elastin in the skin, especially in adulthood;
• thinning and sharp contraction of the ligaments that fix the subcutaneous tissue;
• sagging of soft tissues under the influence of gravity;
• increase in fat deposits and their displacement.

Additional Information. The production of elastin and collagen slows down noticeably after age 25. Thorough facial care should begin at this age.

Causes of jowls:

• age;
• overweight;
• genetic predisposition to a large amount of adipose tissue in the cheek area;
• displacement of the maxillofacial joint;
• disorders in the body leading to the formation of permanent edema;
• frequent exposure to the sun, which contributes to skin aging;
• sudden weight loss;
• incorrect posture and constant stoop when walking;
• prolonged stress.

The appearance of jowls leads to:

• decreased blood circulation in soft tissues and stagnation;
• slowing down lymphatic drainage;
• insufficient supply of nutrients;
• slow cell renewal;
• dry skin;
• structural changes in cells in soft tissues.

How to prevent the appearance of jowls:

• moisturize the skin daily;
• monitor nutrition and weight;
• do physical education;
• Do massage.

Natural aging of the face starts from top to bottom. The first signs appear after 30 years. First, small wrinkles appear on the outer corners of the eyes, then the nasolabial folds and wrinkles in the corners of the mouth deepen. The process ends with the appearance of the first signs of sagging skin on the neck and near the chin. Aging of the lower facial zone occurs after 40-45 years.

Gradual appearance of jowls

You can get rid of jowls in a beauty salon using safe methods and plastic surgery. At home they use masks, massage and perform a set of exercises.

These procedures are used at the initial stage of the appearance of jowls, when there is a slight sagging of the cheeks, without a critical oval. These methods are aimed at reducing jowls and preventing their further growth.

The effect of salon procedures

Application of fillers

Using injections, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite are injected under the skin. They are densely concentrated and, when entering the body, stretch soft tissues. The sagging of the cheeks becomes less noticeable.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the best face lifting cream

For your information. However, not everyone is suitable for filler injections. For people who have a physiological tendency to sag their cheeks under the influence of gravity, there is no point in using the method.

The specialist draws a large grid on the cheek. A drug with hyaluronic or polylactic acid is injected along the drawn lines. This procedure compensates for the lack of collagen and elastin. After the procedure, the skin is noticeably tightened and its original shape is restored due to the creation of a tightening frame.

The procedure is very popular and quite safe. The drug is injected at a shallow depth. The effect lasts from six months to a year.

Vector facelift

The gel is injected into places on the face where there is not enough volume. Sculpting and contour alignment occur.

Intralipotherapy

A drug that affects only fat cells is injected into the accumulation of fat bags. It breaks them down without affecting the muscles. The action lasts up to 2 weeks, after which the effect of the drug becomes noticeable. Gradually, the administered drug is completely eliminated from the body. The procedure is almost painless and effective.

RF lifting

This procedure uses electrical waves of a specific length. Only the hypodermal layer is affected, and the growth of collagen fibers is activated. This procedure is suitable at the initial stage of the appearance of jowls, when the skin has not had time to sag much, and as a preventive measure.

Thread lift

Mostly gold threads are used. The body does not perceive this metal as foreign. The specialist makes an incision behind the ear and uses a needle to pull the threads along the problem areas. The healing process lasts 1.5-2 months. The effect will be noticeable after this period.

To remove jowls, you first need to remove excess fat on the cheeks, as well as strengthen the facial muscles and tighten the skin. Usually, experts advise, simultaneously with the removal of jowls, to carry out procedures aimed at reducing the depth of nasolabial folds and marionette wrinkles, which descend from the corners of the mouth to the chin and give the face a mournful appearance. An integrated approach to correcting the lower part of the face is justified - this is the only way to achieve radical changes and visually rejuvenate the face.

1. Smas lifting is a circular facelift that allows you not only to remove jowls, but also to restore facial features that have changed over time. Smas-lifting is carried out deeper than traditional lifting and allows you to tighten the skin and tissues underlying it, while maintaining the naturalness of the mouth line and eye shape, and also avoiding the appearance of rough scars. This cosmetic surgery involves partial detachment of the skin and lifting of the muscles.
2. Space Lifting is a “spatial” facelift that uses endoscope-detected spaces located under wrinkles and filled with fatty tissue. The effect is achieved by returning and consolidating the discovered “fat depots” to the same places where they were located in youth. During this cosmetic surgery, large-scale skin detachment is not performed, which means postoperative risks are significantly reduced.
3. Installation of an implant that corrects the shape of the chin. A chin that is too small “breaks” the oval line of the face, which is why jowls are seen in very young people without age-related problems.
4. Removal of Bisha's lumps at a young age. Using this technique, you can lighten the lower part of the face, while making the cheekbones more prominent and expressive. Bish's fat lumps are partially removed - this avoids the effect of a “haggard face” and prevents the formation of jowls.
5. Reinforcement with gold threads is a classic, timeless method of skin tightening. For the procedure, gold of the highest standard is used, which is not rejected by the body. The essence of the operation is to create a framework of gold threads under the skin, which over time is “overgrown” with collagen fibers and elastin. The effect of reinforcement with gold threads lasts up to 15 years.
6. Jowl lift with Aptos threads. The procedure uses polypropylene threads, biocompatible with the skin, inserted through small incisions and having microscopic notches along the entire length, with which the skin tissue is picked up, moved and then fixed in the desired position. In addition, Aptos threads are twisted and smooth. The best threads for lifting jowls are Aptos Needle, the results last up to three years.
7. Facelifting with Silhouette Lift threads is reminiscent of reinforcement with Aptos threads, but this method has a valuable difference - the threads embedded under the skin can be tightened (usually this happens 4-5 years after installation).

Thermolifting is heating the skin aimed at activating regeneration processes. Thermal exposure leads to activation of metabolic processes and improvement of microcirculation, which leads to renewal and strengthening of skin tissue at the cellular level. In salon practice they use: infrared thermolifting (IR), laser thermolifting (IPL) and radio wave thermolifting (RF).

Intralipotherapy is an injection into the jowl area of ​​the drug Aqualix, which has fat-burning properties. The method is good for its effectiveness and painlessness - the drug is quickly distributed in the fat layer, destroys fat cells and, together with decay products, after some time, is completely eliminated from the body.

Oils and masks for facial jowls

The following are considered the most effective masks for “bulldog cheeks”:

• Egg. The mixture is made from 1 egg, a small amount of medium-fat cottage cheese, a few drops of olive oil. The components are thoroughly mixed to a creamy consistency. The mixture is applied to the face for a quarter of an hour.

Exercises for saggy cheeks by Carol Maggio

Facial jowls, like other significant imperfections in appearance, are a phenomenon that can be effectively eliminated using facial gymnastics techniques.

The basic rules for performing the technique, developed by the American Carol Maggio, are as follows:

• Exercises are done in a sitting position. It is recommended to place a mirror in front of you to check that the techniques are performed correctly. Once all the details have been studied, you can practice without a mirror.
• An indicator of the correctness of the exercises is a burning sensation, which the author of the technique calls “lactic acid” (it occurs after normal physical activity as a result of the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle). If this sensation is not present, the muscles do not work enough.
• After each appointment, the face is relaxed, while air is released through relaxed lips.

  
  Carol Maggio has come up with simple and easy exercises that have been helping women get rid of jowls on their faces for many years.

• As an addition, Carol Maggio herself recommends that you also strain your buttocks during the complex. Between techniques they relax, and after that they tense up again.
