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.

Reasons for the appearance of “withers” on the neck

A dowager's hump—sometimes simply called a "hump" or "withers"—is a term used to describe a noticeable accumulation of fat at the base of the neck between the shoulders. In extreme cases, these fatty deposits can become enlarged and extend towards the ears and move to the front of the neck. There are many reasons why this defect can develop. A diagnostic test performed by an experienced physician can help determine the origin of the fat accumulation and how to get rid of the widow's hump.

Changes in the neck area also occur when the spine is pathologically tilted forward due to work habits or stooping. A curvature of the spinal column is formed in the upper part of the back, it moves back, the anterior parts of the vertebrae are compressed. This causes a person to bend their head and lean forward. The back is slouched and rounded, which forms a hump in the shoulder area.

The widow's hump develops over a long period of time, over many years. First, changes in posture are formed, then adipose tissue accumulates under the skin in this area. Gradually, over the course of several years, the deformity can develop into pronounced kyphosis, often with compression (due to strong compression) microfractures of the vertebrae, since the head is always tilted too forward.

In addition to problems with posture, there are also a number of reasons for the formation of the defect; they must be taken into account when determining how to treat widow’s hump.

Sometimes this can be a consequence of osteoporosis - bone loss during age-related changes. Women in menopause are at greater risk than men, since the absorption of calcium and vitamin D decreases due to estrogen deficiency.

A hump can occur as a result of long-term use of certain medications. These are steroid drugs that can be used in the treatment of asthma, autoimmune diseases, and some other diseases.

The formation of “withers” is possible with Cushing’s syndrome, in which the body synthesizes an excess amount of cortisol, a hormone that changes metabolic processes. Against the background of this disease, fat deposition changes, and bones may suffer.

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 cure widow's hump with liposuction

For most patients with withers, neck liposuction is the most suitable technique to achieve an ideal result. Typically, neck liposuction can only be performed under local anesthesia, which reduces the likelihood of possible complications from general anesthesia. However, for some patients, the doctor may decide to use general anesthesia. Liposuction cannula can be inserted through very small incisions, which leave minimal residual scarring after the healing process is complete.

In some cases, the doctor may perform a second liposuction procedure at a later date to improve results and achieve an optimal appearance. Because the skin on the upper back/neck is quite thick and the fat can be quite fibrous, the surgeon uses special lipocannulas to improve the shape, define the area, and facilitate shrinkage of the skin. Although there are some doctors who may use an “open technique,” ​​many plastic surgeons prefer to approach the area in a minimally invasive manner to avoid scarring.

Recovery depends on the technique used during surgery. Liposuction patients usually recover quickly and can return to their normal activities in about a week after surgery. Sometimes drainage may be required for proper healing. After full plastic surgery, a longer stay in the clinic and a long recovery period may be required.

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.

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.

  • GHC Placental Cosmetic is a concentrated lotion for intensive rejuvenation. Serves to prevent the development of inflammation, protects skin cells from free radicals, and also restores the natural uniform color.

How much does a neck lift cost in a beauty salon?

If we talk about the cost of a chin and neck lift, the price of the procedure depends entirely on the correction method. Home exercises, massages and masks are the most economical.

Prices for thread lifting in Moscow and St. Petersburg range from 16,000 to 200,000 rubles. The final cost is determined by the condition of the skin, the number and quality of threads, the size of the surface being treated, the type of anesthesia and the qualifications of the cosmetologist performing the procedure.

Regardless of whether a hardware neck lift or surgery is needed, the price will largely depend on the scope of the intervention and the time spent.

The elasticity of the skin is lost under the influence of age-related changes, as well as due to smoking, excess weight and sunlight. To prevent ptosis, it is recommended to completely abandon bad habits. It is also worth paying attention to home procedures, the effectiveness of which is directly related to the regularity and systematicity of their implementation.

If severe ptosis interferes with external attractiveness, you should not abandon hardware correction methods and plastic surgery. However, the choice of rejuvenation method should occur together with a specialist (cosmetologist or plastic surgeon) and taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.

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.
