Non-surgical face and neck lift with Silhouette Lift threads

Non-surgical facial skin tightening is an effective, safe, minimally invasive anti-aging technique for eliminating imperfections without surgical intervention. The procedure is prescribed to patients with mature skin, which has already shown the first signs of age-related changes. This method of rejuvenation does not require special training and has a short rehabilitation period. Already after the first session, you can appreciate a noticeable rejuvenating effect.

There are several methods of non-surgical facelift. Each has its own advantages, disadvantages, indications, limitations. Cosmetologists at the International Hemostasis Clinic will select the most effective method, taking into account the individual characteristics and needs of the patient. We employ specialists with extensive experience, so no matter what type of anti-aging procedure is prescribed, we guarantee the most positive result and the absence of side effects.

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.

All prices Make an appointment

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.

Description of the injection facelift procedure

Non-surgical facial modeling based on subcutaneous injection of anti-aging cocktails is called mesotherapy. The technique locally affects the problem area without affecting healthy tissue. The composition of injection preparations is selected for each client personally, taking into account the severity of age-related changes and the presence of other cosmetic and aesthetic defects. Most often, cocktails are prepared based on the following substances:

• vitamins;
• homeopathic substances;
• glycolic acid;
• natural plant extracts;
• collagen, elastin;
• hyaluronic acid;
• L-carnitine;
• thioctic acid.

Indications for mesotherapy:

• dry, thin skin;
• acne;
• rosacea;
• hyperpigmentation;
• medium and deep wrinkles;
• double chin, gravitational ptosis;
• scars, scars, stretch marks.

The technique has contraindications:

• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• allergies to the drugs used;
• diseases of the hematopoietic system;
• congenital or acquired immunodeficiency;
• taking groups of drugs that affect blood viscosity;
• mental disorders, epilepsy;
• tumors of a benign or malignant nature.

The mesotherapy process involves the injection of meso-cocktails. Before the procedure, the skin is treated with an anesthetic, then the cosmetologist makes markings, after which he begins manipulations. The composition is injected subcutaneously at different depths, it all depends on the tasks and the desired effect. After the face has been completely treated, the specialist applies a soothing, wound-healing cream. To achieve the maximum effect of mesotherapy, it is recommended to take a course of an average of 3 to 15 sessions.

Another injection method to combat age-related changes is plasma therapy. This is a safe, effective procedure, the essence of which is the subcutaneous injection of your own platelet-rich plasma. Results of the plasma therapy course:

• activation of the production of natural collagen and elastin;
• skin tightening and rejuvenation;
• getting rid of small and medium wrinkles;
• stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis;
• nutrition, deep hydration of the dermis.

To combat pronounced age-related changes, cosmetologists recommend resorting to botulinum therapy. The essence of the procedure is the subcutaneous injection of botulinum toxin, which fills the resulting voids, smoothing out wrinkles and preventing their appearance. The technique is indicated for patients over 55 years of age when other non-surgical methods do not bring the desired effect.

Common hardware facelift methods

Hardware rejuvenation techniques are carried out using special equipment that allows you to influence problem areas with the following types of energy:

• microcurrents;
• laser;
• radio waves, etc.

Laser tightening is considered one of the most effective hardware methods of rejuvenation. The essence of the procedure is the deep impact of infrared radiation, which warms up soft tissues, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. The effect after laser lifting lasts up to 3 years. The main advantages of the technique are:

• positive changes are noticeable after the first session;
• the procedure is painless and does not require long-term rehabilitation;
• the skin noticeably improves, tightens, becomes young and radiant.

Among the rejuvenating procedures involving the use of laser, laser resurfacing has proven itself well, which accelerates the exfoliation of dead cells, activates regeneration processes and the production of collagen and elastin fibers.

Another effective rejuvenating hardware technique is radio wave lifting. The essence of the procedure is the effect of high-frequency electromagnetic waves on soft tissues. There are 2 types of RF lifting:

• monopolar;
• biopolar.

After radio wave lifting, regeneration processes are launched, which contributes to the effective rejuvenation of the skin, the disappearance of pronounced age-related defects, and the general improvement of the dermis.

Microcurrents have a healing and rejuvenating effect on the skin, and the procedure using them is called darsonvalization. The dermis is exposed to alternating currents of high frequency and low strength. Results of the darsonvalization course:

• relieving inflammation;
• disappearance of the rash;
• getting rid of fine wrinkles;
• improvement of metabolism;
• increased tone, tightness, elasticity;
• strengthening local immunity.

Cryolifting is another hardware technique, the essence of which is to treat the skin with a nozzle cooled to -20 °C. Exposure to low temperatures causes the skin to experience a shock, as a result of which the synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated, blood vessels are strengthened, swelling disappears, and toxins and waste are removed. The average duration of a cryolifting course is 6 – 10 sessions.

The essence of the photorejuvenation procedure is to expose the dermis to light pulses of varying intensity, triggering cell regeneration and the active production of collagen and elastin fibers. Results of the photorejuvenation course:

• smoothing of shallow and medium wrinkles;
• disappearance of folds localized in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle;
• facelift and double chin lift.

Smas-lifting and RF-lifting difference

• Smas-lifting is based on ultrasonic influence, and RF-lifting is based on the action of electric current.
• SMAS lifting is carried out once, RF lifting is a course of treatment and requires up to 10 procedures.
• The result after SMAS lifting lasts for 1.5 - 2 years, while RF lifting guarantees a six-month preservation of the effect.
• A repeat RF lifting procedure is recommended after 6-12 months; SMAS lifting can be repeated after 18 months.
• The main task of SMAS lifting is to work with the deep layers of the skin and improve muscle tone, RF lifting is aimed at improving the overall condition of the skin and eliminating signs of aging.

Of course, there is no universal answer to the question: “What is better - SMAS lifting or RF lifting?”

It all depends on the specific tasks, skin condition, individual characteristics and personal preferences of the patient.

Non-surgical circular facelift

Contour plastic surgery is a non-surgical circular facelift, the essence of which is the injection of stabilized hyaluronic acid preparations under the skin. Fillers will fill deep folds, help change the oval of the face, make the contours clearer and tighter.

The filler injected under the skin breaks down on its own over time. The results after the procedure last for an average of 12 – 20 months. The active substances contained in fillers are:

• hyaluronic acid;
• collagen;
• polylactic acid;
• calcium hydroxyalate;
• acrylic Powder.

The following types of fillers are used for facial contouring:

• Natural. The composition includes hyaluronic acid and collagen. The drug is well tolerated by the body, does not cause allergies, and triggers regeneration processes at the cellular level.
• Synthetic. The active ingredient is polydimethylsilicone. Provides stable, long-lasting results, but since the drug consists of synthetic components, the body can reject it.
• Semi-synthetic. They are a gel based on hyaluronic acid. The filler provides good support and elasticity to soft tissues and is generally well accepted by the body without causing rejection or other side effects.

The drug is administered subcutaneously using cosmetic syringes equipped with ultra-thin needles. During the injection of fillers, the patient does not experience pain; there may be slight discomfort in the form of tingling. But if the client has a high pain threshold, before administering the drug, the cosmetologist will treat the skin with an anesthetic and only after the anesthesia has taken effect will he proceed directly to the manipulations.

SMAS lifting - full review of the procedure

SMAS is translated as superficial muscular aponeurotic system. These are the layers of the face, which include the wide flat ligament (aponeurosis), muscles, fat packets and ligaments that hold them in place. With age, the ligaments weaken and the face falls down. This drooping of facial tissues is called ptosis.

Previously, impact on the ligaments was only possible through surgery. The surgeon made an incision along the border of the scalp and near the ear, peeled off the tissue, pulled up the aponeurosis and all the tissue with it, and sutured it higher, for example, to the periosteum of the temporal bone. As a result of the operation, the face received the coveted lift for some time.

Several years ago, a high-frequency focused ultrasound (HIFU - haifu technology) technique was developed, which makes it possible to reduce the area of ​​this very aponeurosis, reduce the volume of fat bags and thicken the skin, while the technique works without incisions and without damaging the upper layers of the skin at all.

Hardware SMAS technique

The hardware SMAS technique works as follows: Pulses penetrate the skin to a certain depth, in the case of the face this is 1.5, 2, 3 and 4.5 mm.

This impulse is focused, it acts on a small area of ​​tissue at a given depth, friction of cells in this area occurs, heat is released, cells are damaged.

Many of these points with damage cause a reduction in tissue area and trigger the process of restoration and collagen formation; in adipose tissue, the lipolytic effect is more pronounced. At the level of 4.5 mm, the effect is on ligaments, 3 mm on adipose tissue, 2 and 1.5 mm on skin quality.

What effect will there be from SMAS lifting?

Compaction of SMAS and strengthening of ligaments is a lifting effect . Targeted destruction of adipose tissue - lipolytic , to reduce fat bags. On the skin area - increasing tone, eliminating sagging . The visible effect is that the face becomes more compact, there is less swelling in the eyelid area and sagging of the subeyebrow area, the jowls are reduced in volume, and the cheeks creep less into the nasolabial area. The face looks younger and fresher . In general, the word “compactization” very accurately describes the essence of the procedure.

When this procedure is carried out on the body, it reduces local fat deposits and eliminates sagging skin.

How long does the effect of SMAS lifting last?

This cannot be answered unequivocally, since there is always a question at what age, for what condition of the face, hardware SMAS lifting is performed, as well as how well the problem areas were worked out (number of lines, their distribution, power of influence).

On average, when a patient is under 35 years old, does not have excess tissue in the oval area of ​​the face, and the procedure is carried out to prevent ptosis (tissue drooping) or eliminate swelling, the effect lasts up to 1.5 years.

If work is done on a face with obvious sagging of the tissues and/or after 35 years, then the effect of smas-lifting also lasts 1-1.5 years, but here we must take into account a very important point. In this case, you should not expect an incredible effect from hardware smas-lifting without enhancing it with frame procedures (fillers, thread lifting). When facial tissues already require lifting, smas-lifting is used as part of a correction scheme; it tightens the ligaments of fatty tissue, so that fillers and threads can then fulfill their task 100%.

Sometimes, if a separate problem area requires work, for example, paint bags, the procedure can be carried out twice with an interval of 4-6 months.

This is done in order to obtain a sufficiently complete result, since the required number of lines may be impossible to fit into one procedure, since there is a risk of overheating of the facial tissues and complications. The final result also lasts up to 1.5 years.

When and who should do SMAS lifting?

• Beginning age-related changes in the cheek-zygomatic area, nasolabial, along the oval of the face. More often this is a deformation and tired type of aging.
• Swelling (pastiness) of the face, especially in the lower eyelids
• Flabbiness and weakness of tissue in the area under the chin (double chin area). Even in fairly slender women, this area makes itself felt sooner and later; prevention and tightening the tissue is the best option.
• Preparation for thread lifting , injection of fillers based on hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite
• In case of pronounced paint bags, this procedure can be performed from the age of 18.
• Reduce the cheeks on faces with pronounced subcutaneous fat in this area.
• Flabbiness of the skin of the neck and décolleté with a pronounced subcutaneous fat layer
• Fat traps (chin, abdomen) and flabby atonic skin above them

How does the SMAS lifting procedure feel?

The procedure can hardly be called completely painless, and yet it is tolerated by patients calmly. You can feel the heating of the tissues, somewhere warm, somewhere hot, near the bone base it is more sensitive, but usually specialists bypass these particularly delicate areas. The more pronounced the subcutaneous fat layer, the less sensation. If the patient’s pain threshold is low, then it is usually recommended to drink a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with an analgesic effect, for example, Nurofen or Ketanov, an hour before the procedure.

Pain after SMAS lifting

How much the face hurts after massage lifting is of interest to everyone who is planning the procedure. It’s impossible to say unambiguously here, because everything depends on the number of lines performed, the parameters on which the procedure was performed, the patient’s pain threshold and the area of ​​treatment. There are patients who do not feel anything at all after the procedure, but sometimes, on the contrary, they feel their face for up to a month.

On average, there is no pain immediately after the procedure. The face swells a little, there is a feeling of warmth, some people note a feeling of slight numbness and aching at the same time, but this is not pain. In the following days, mild painful sensations may be present during facial expressions and touching the face; patients note that these sensations intensify if the day has been busy and there is general fatigue

The main thing is to understand that this is not the kind of pain for which you have to take painkillers. On average, “reminders” about the past SMAS lifting procedure last 1-2 weeks, rarely 3. Then they disappear and we wait for the increasing effect.

The area of ​​the eyelids, and specifically the paint bags, is a separate topic, because rehabilitation is different from other areas. The pain is mild, but significant swelling of this area is possible for up to 5 days. If persistent redness is present, the doctor will probably prescribe an anti-inflammatory cream topically for a couple of days. To summarize, the most unpleasant sensations during SMAS lifting will be during the procedure.

Rehabilitation as a whole does not cause significant discomfort and does not require any special actions in relation to the treated area - normal home care, limit temperature changes (ice cubes, ice water, bathhouse, sauna, solarium) for two weeks.

If acute pain occurs, this is not normal and you should definitely contact the doctor who performed the procedure.

Why is there no effect from SMAS lifting?

The effectiveness of any procedure depends, firstly, on the selection of patients, and secondly, on the sufficiency of the impact. In the case of smas-lifting, an aging face with pronounced sagging tissue would be a bad choice. In this case, it’s not that there will be no effect, but it will be minimal, because smas-lifting in this case is only the first stage of the work, you don’t need to expect the effect of the operation from it.

The second question is how well the problem areas were worked out; here the effect directly depends on the number of pulses (lines). There are recommended numbers for the lines, and there is the amount that will give a really visible effect. And these numbers may vary. It all depends on the experience and observation of the doctor.

The main thing is to know whether the lack of effect or its insufficiency is often a matter of incorrect selection of patients for the procedure, insufficient number of lines per area, unreasonable promises of the cosmetologist (which happens often) and, as a result, inflated expectations of the patient. If expectations are too high, even a good sufficient result may turn out to be insignificant.

There is also a moment when the effectiveness of the procedure decreases while taking anti-inflammatory drugs during the rehabilitation period (the first 1-2 weeks). The very essence of stimulating tissue restoration through damage (this is typical for lasers, micro-needle RF, SMAS lifting) is that after this negative stimulation of tissues, a full cascade of inflammatory reactions must go through.

It is she who launches all the desired processes - rejuvenation, tissue contraction, lipolysis, collagen production. If it does not exist due to the fact that it was carefully extinguished with anti-inflammatory drugs, then there is no point in waiting for a full effect.

Therefore, if you are simultaneously treating your back, for example, or reducing toothache, then warn your doctor about all these points, this is very significant. Your condition, in principle, may be a contraindication to the procedure, as well as the medications you take.

When can I expect the effect of SMAS lifting?

The effect of this procedure is slowly increasing. The fact that immediately after the procedure there is a feeling of tightness is just post-traumatic edema, you should not focus on it. If during a procedure they lift you up and give you a mirror to compare the treated and untouched sides, just smile, this is intra-procedural marketing or out of ignorance. This swelling will go away in 2-3 days. But tissue restoration after thermal damage and, as a result, stimulation of collagen production will take up to 3-4 months. It is during this period of time that the effect grows. It is better to take before and after photos in the same lighting so that you can evaluate the real effect.

Does hardware SMAS lifting replace surgery?

Definitely not. If the condition of the tissues on the face and neck is such that surgical intervention is indicated, there is no point in wasting time and money on a device. After the operation, the effect can be maintained by the device, this is another question. More often, smas-lifting is work to prevent ptosis, swollen faces, minor tissue subsidence or noticeable ones, but as the first stage of work (later reinforced with laser, threads, fillers).

What areas are not treated with SMAS lifting?

It is not performed on the central area of ​​the forehead, only the tails of the eyebrows can be raised. In fact, this procedure will not replace endoscopic or thread eyebrow lifting, for example. It is not performed on the area where nerves exit; these areas are marked by a cosmetologist before the procedure. Be sure to bypass the area of ​​the thyroid gland.

Is preliminary preparation required before SMAS lifting?

If there is obvious sagging skin and you want to get the maximum effect on skin tightening, then yes. As before any negative stimulation (laser, Rf), it is better to do positive stimulation (biorevitalization, peptides, mesotherapy, plasma therapy). It should be understood that these methods and similar preparation will not affect the result in the deeper layers (aponeurosis, ligaments, adipose tissue). Basically, this is an enhanced effect on the quality of the skin, which we achieve with more superficial sensors (1.5 mm)

What is the rehabilitation after SMAS lifting?

The appearance is practically not affected, unlike other procedures aimed at tissue tightening and lifting. A slightly swollen face, most often only the patient himself sees this. When treating the area of ​​paint bags, swelling may be more pronounced for up to 3-4 days. Redness often goes away right on the day of the procedure, sometimes on sensitive areas of the skin it remains for another couple of days.

It is extremely rare that single bruises may appear, which can be covered with tone even on the day of the procedure. A person does not drop out of public life at all, this is the main advantage of hardware smas-lifting. If the skin is very sensitive and prone to redness, then you can do the procedure the day before the weekend, and in this case, probably none of your friends will understand anything.

It feels like there is no pain after the procedure, but there is a slight ache when touched; it can last from 1 to 3 weeks, gradually fading away. It does not require pain relief, but only slightly reminds you of the procedure.

Contraindications to the SMAS lifting procedure:

• age up to 18 years
• During pregnancy and breastfeeding
• metal implants in the treatment area (except for dental ones) and pacemakers (pacemaker)
• diabetes mellitus and other autoimmune diseases in the stage of decompensation
• acute conditions (ARVI, fever, internal diseases in the acute stage, pain syndrome)
• fresh herpetic rashes and skin diseases in the acute stage in the treatment area (including acne), also lupus erythematosus, scleroderma
• oncology
• neuropsychiatric disorders, including epilepsy
• diseases of the cardiovascular system
• taking anticoagulants (for example, aspirin, Cardiomagnyl)

What should you not do after SMAS lifting?

Baths, saunas, solariums, hot showers are excluded for 2-3 weeks. It is also not recommended to overcool the treated area, that is, no cloth masks from the refrigerator, ice cubes and walks in -20. You can bend over after the procedure; it is not advisable to maintain this position for a long time in the first days after the procedure. There is no ban on alcohol or sports, although I still recommend limiting them for the first three days.

Is it possible to combine SMAS lifting with other procedures in one visit?

Now doctors have such experience, and I have seen several publications on combining SMAS lifting and Radiesse into one procedure, as well as laser treatment. I am of the opinion that the use of actively stimulating procedures simultaneously increases the risk of adverse events, and in my practice I try to space these manipulations out over 3-4 weeks. I think the question of whether or not it can be combined will remain open for a long time, and here the doctor needs to decide on the spot (during communication and after examination) whether he is ready to take on such responsibility.

How to combine SMAS lifting with fillers and Botox?

It is better to do injections after it, an interval of 2-4 weeks. If botulinum toxin and filler have already been injected, and the areas do not overlap, then there are no contraindications, we wait 10-14 days and do a smas-lifting. If the treatment is the same, for example the area of ​​the eyelids or cheeks, then it is better to wait 2 months after the injections and then do a hardware procedure.

How to combine SMAS lifting with other hardware procedures?

It all depends on the type of impact. It is ideal to leave an interval of 4-6 weeks between damaging procedures (SMAS and laser, SMAS and micro-needle radiovon lifting). If photorejuvenation (IPL, BBL) is planned, then in general 2-3 weeks is usually enough. Microcurrents, ultrasonic cleaning, non-injection mesotherapy - 2 weeks.

Is it possible to combine SMAS lifting with operations?

If the operation was performed on the face or neck, you need to clarify this issue with the surgeon. Typically, specialists are aware of modern hardware techniques, and without any problems give such recommendations, taking into account the complexity of the operation and the characteristics of the recovery period for each individual patient. But generally speaking, when the areas of surgery and SMAS lifting do not overlap, there are no fundamental deadlines. We have recovered from surgery and are doing a smas lift. If the area is the same, then in any case there will be no less than 3-4 months, unless otherwise indicated by the surgeon.

What is a line in SMAS lifting?

A line is a series of ultrasonic pulses. It is marked on the working attachment and is usually no more than 3-4 cm. It lasts a second or two. The faster, the easier it feels for patients. It may take 200 lines per area, or up to 1000 on the face and chin as a whole. This is determined by a cosmetologist during a consultation.

How many lines are needed in SMAS lifting

Lines in SMAS lifting are an integral part of the procedure, because the effectiveness of the procedure depends on the quantity. Few lines, weak effect. Here, trying to save money in order to try a little and evaluate the effect on a small scale is not very appropriate.

• Eyelid area (overhanging eyebrows, paint bags) - 200-350 lines
• Cheek area and face oval - 400-800 lines
• Double chin 150-300 lines
• Full face 600-1000 lines
• Face + chin 700-1300 lines

There is a variation in the lines because all faces are individual, from basic sizes (large or small faces) to the need for correction of specific areas. The operation scheme and number of lines are discussed in detail during the consultation.

Why is facial marking done during SMAS lifting?

There are dangerous areas on the face for exposure with a deep sensor, for example, the points where nerves exit the skull and the eye area. While sitting, the doctor marks these areas and also draws the treatment zones. It does this because in a lying position the tissues will shift, and you need to do the procedure technically correctly, without harming or overheating the tissues and get the maximum benefit.

Which device is better to use for SMAS lifting?

Ulthera device

The pioneers and creators of the technique are the manufacturers of the Ulthera device. This is the very first device, it is original and, to some extent, unique in its own way. A few years later, devices copying this technique began to appear. Those that are registered in the Russian Federation are also effective and safe.

Ultraformer device

One of them is Ultraformer. There is a difference between them, this applies to both the attachments and the tissue visualization system during the procedure. This is important for the doctor. In general, we can say that the patient will not see any difference in the effect if the procedure is performed correctly, because the technology is the same, the depth of impact is the same.

Brands of devices for SMAS lifting

Advantages and disadvantages

I work on the second option and my patients are happy with the result. The advantages over Altera are that the procedure is faster, less painful (due to the speed at which the device produces impulses), and is 2-2.5 times cheaper. The last point is important, since the bill runs into tens of thousands of rubles. I in no way belittle Altera’s advantages, she is special in her own way and some patients and doctors choose her no matter what, that’s a fact.

The only negative I want to note is the number of Altera fakes. Since this is an original device, that is, the first for which this technique was patented, it has a colossal number of Chinese followers who completely copy the design and interface of the original, without a twinge of conscience, they import these counterfeits into our country through gray means and sell them 5 times cheaper.

There are even clinics who want to buy these devices. Some want to save on multimillion-dollar equipment and believe that there is no difference, others think simply out of stupidity and trust. But the point is the same: when you come to Altera there is always a chance to run into a fake device. Not even all doctors can tell the difference.

I haven’t seen any counterfeits of the Ultraformer, or they’re simply not being thrown onto the Russian market in such large numbers. It’s like with No-shpa and drotaverine, Unidox and doxycycline. Few people counterfeit a cheaper copy (drotaverine hydrochloride); everyone strives to make money by counterfeiting the original drug (no-shpa).

It is also worth considering the fact that in many offices in our country there are devices that are not labeled under any brand, but they are nevertheless found and used illegally, they have not passed all stages of quality control, and as a result do not have a registration certificate. The effectiveness of such devices is a separate issue, as is safety. Their procedures cost pennies. The option “whole face for 10 thousand,” for example, should at least arouse suspicion.

The smas-lifting procedure is unique in its concept and mechanism. Its main secret is to wait for the real effect, listen and hear your doctor when he pronounces the nuances of SMAS lifting, and do not try to replace threads and fillers with this procedure, and especially surgery. With a competent approach, a combination of techniques will give an excellent result, and SMAS lifting will definitely not be left behind.

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.

What criteria are used to evaluate age-related changes in the lower third of the face?

Each person's facial structure is unique. Hence the individuality of the dynamics of age-related changes and differences in the degree of their expression. Therefore, a surgical correction plan must be assigned to each patient individually. During the consultation with a plastic surgeon, a thorough diagnosis is carried out. The specialist analyzes the client’s face, determines which defects and to what extent need to be corrected. Proper combination of all identified factors leads to the creation of a harmonious image. Its implementation will allow a person to look younger, while traces of the intervention of a surgical scalpel will remain outwardly invisible.

Each individual detail of the human face is distinguished by its unique shape and outline, therefore there cannot be two equally performed operations for different patients.

Diagnostic stages

• diagnostics of the severity of jowls,
• determination of the severity level of prebreast depression.
• Determination of the degree of ptosis of the corners of the mouth
• Establishing the degree of deformation of the angle between the neck and chin.
• Presence of submandibular salivary gland contours
• Presence of dynamic forces
• Detection of the level of tissue ptosis in the area of ​​the mandibular angle, determination of its contours
• Measuring the height of the chin area, the area of ​​the lower third of the face, calculating their proportionality relative to the face as a whole

Diagnosis: the patient has severe ptosis of the soft tissues of the face, especially visible in its lower third. Pronounced jowls and nasolabial folds, a sharp perioral fold resulting from ptosis of the midface. In addition, there is a pronounced tear trough, excess skin of the upper eyelids, horizontal folds and excess skin in the neck area. The lips are thinner and have lost their natural volume.
