Chin lift

According to cosmetologists, the neck is the first to start aging, giving away the real age of a young-looking person. Folds appear on it, the skin of the neck and chin loses tone, begins to sag, forming a second chin. There are other reasons for this condition, so people who care about their appearance, looking for ways to get rid of obvious cosmetic flaws. Specialists have learned how to solve this problem: they offer chin lifts in a variety of ways.

Indications for the procedure

Experts believe that chin and neck lifts are the most sought-after corrective procedure by American women. The American mentality is that a strong-willed chin and a beautiful neck indicate career and financial success. Apparently, it's almost like in our country, where you "meet people by their clothes" and judge the status of a stranger.

It is clear that a well-groomed face is an excellent "addition" to fashionable clothes. And indications to conduct immediately arise when the face "does not reach" to the successful image of a business or simply beautiful woman. After all, the skin of the neck and chin first give away age or health problems, so thoroughly spoil the appearance and mood.

Plastic surgery is used when the following defects are noticeable:

• a second or sloping chin;
• disproportionality;
• deep age-related changes;
• laxity, excess subcutaneous fat;
• birth defects;
• defects due to trauma.

The lift fixes the skin and muscles, shapes a beautiful contour, gets rid of excess skin and fatty tissue, and restores elasticity.

Second chin lift

When and why do people think about a chin lift? Not before the reflection ceases to please the person looking in the mirror. This happens to everyone in different ways, often after ineffective attempts to correct defects with simpler methods - creams, massages, hardware-free and non-surgical manipulations.

• Modern second chin lift techniques are constantly improving, becoming minimally traumatic and more predictable.

No Western celebrity refuses a facelift, for whom it is important to look beautiful and young. Facelift procedures are quite popular in Ukraine as well.

Non-surgical methods are suitable for everyone - up to a certain age, as well as for those for whom surgical procedures are contraindicated or unaffordable. Non-surgical procedures are performed by hardware cosmetology: cryolifting, fractional photothermolysis, RF-lifting (radiofrequency), ultrasound.

Injectable methods are a good alternative to plastic surgery: 3D threads, contour plastics, volumetric modeling, bio reinforcement, biorevitalization, mesotherapy.

The following methods belong to the surgical practices:

• circular facelift;
• spacelift;
• endoscopic facelift.

Liposuction, platysmoplasty, cervicoplasty, and mentoplasty are also used for lifting. Due to increasing demand, techniques continue to be improved and modified.

Preparation

For any surgical procedure, the patient undergoes preparation. Usually it includes examination, consultation, evaluation of the patient's health condition by a specialist. The doctor determines the severity of the problem and the scope of the proposed intervention for its elimination, familiarizes the patient with the technique of chin lift.

• Standard examination includes several types of blood tests, urinalysis, fluorography or ECG if indicated.

Additional consultations may be necessary during the examination process. After gathering complete information, a qualified physician will recommend which method he or she believes will provide optimal results.

Depending on the amount of work involved, the operation lasts from one to two hours. Intravenous anesthesia or local anesthesia is used for anesthesia. To prevent infections, antibiotics are used once before or after the procedure.

Technique of the chin lifts

Several methods are used in clinics to lift the chin. At the same time, a neck lift is performed. Which is better, which technique to choose, is decided by the doctor after consultation and examination of the patient. The task of the surgeon is to preserve the so-called "angle of youth": 90 degrees between the neck line and the chin.

The following options are practiced in various clinics:

• platysmoplasty;
• thread plasty;
• liposuction;
• endoscopy;
• mentoplasty;
• laser lift;
• cervicoplasty;
• ultrasound technique.

The choice of technique depends on age, weight, skin condition, severity of changes. If the skin is stretched, they can remove its excess. With excess weight, liposuction of this area may be necessary. Incisions are made in such a way that the traces after the operation are inconspicuous. To consolidate the results and minimize swelling, a modeling bandage is applied to the chin for several days.

Chin lift methods

The success of any surgery depends on the indications, the amount of work, the structure and size of the jaw, the quality of the devices, and the qualifications of the staff. The effectiveness of chin lift also depends on the technology. They are enough, and only a specialist is able to determine which is better in each case. After all, the method of chin lift is also chosen depending on whether it is formed by excess fat or sagging skin.

If the skin is sagging, but there is no obvious excess, the problem is solved by implantation and injection of filler. Correction of age-related changes is performed by SMAS-lifting with the work of tissues and muscles. Usually correction of the chin area is carried out in the complex of facelift surgery. It is performed under general anesthesia.

Excess tissue is removed by liposuction. At the same time, the frame is strengthened so that the face does not "droop" downwards. For this purpose, implantation + filler is used. Sometimes the pumped fat is used to form the desired shape of the oval.

• If, in addition to the problem chin, the patient is concerned about ptosis of the cheeks ("bulldog cheeks", bellybones), the surgeon will offer excision of the skin, lifting the neck muscles.

Less traumatic hardware manipulations, but they are not always able to cope with the problem. The same can be said about "injections" - the introduction of lipolytics and drainage agents.

Thread techniques are good when there is no severe tissue sagging. In addition, most of them have a short-lived effect.

Surgery for a chin lift

The particular popularity of chin and neck lift surgery is due to the fact that unpleasant skin changes become visible in this area early on. It sags, and many people develop a second chin. In addition to age, there are other causes of such defects - for example, genetic, as well as overweight or sudden weight loss.

• Chin lift has recently been ordered not only by the beautiful, but also by the stronger half of humanity.

One of the minimally traumatic operations is the endotinami lift. During the manipulation, the surgeon makes mini incisions behind the ears, providing access to the problem areas. Subsequently, the endotines are resorbed and the lifting effect remains.

For patients at an age when it is no longer possible to hide sagging, surgeons offer a lift with an incision under the chin. The essence is that the excess skin is removed, and the rest is tightened and fixed higher. The method is complicated, but effective.

The operation called platysmoplasty performs the most complete tasks to recreate the natural contours of the chin and neck. It is indicated in the most serious cases, when not only the skin and fat reserves have changed, but also the musculature of this area.

The name comes from the flat, thin muscle that lies just under the skin in this area, i.e. Under the chin. The surgery removes excess skin and fat and tightens the weakened muscle.

Chin lift with cosmetic threads

The effectiveness of using threads for chin lift is due to the fact that thanks to them a framework is formed, tightening the contour not through incisions, but through punctures in the skin. The fixation of the threads is carried out in different ways: fixed or autonomous.

• Fixation is performed in the ear or temple area and allows modeling the shape of the oval. Autonomous fixation does not have a rigid fixation and serves only to increase the elasticity of the skin.

For a chin lift with cosmetic threads, the material is selected depending on the characteristics of the patient.

Thin resorbable mesonites are inserted with a special needle. They resorb within six months, having formed a collagen network during this time. The effect lasts for two years. The method is used until the age of 40, because with significant defects it is ineffective.

Non-absorbable material with a smooth texture is made of polyurethane, polyamide, silicone. The threads are fixed on the bone tissue, placed in the skin thickness. The method provides the desired quality for defects typical for age 50+.

The rejuvenating properties of gold have long been known. Imbedded in the skin, gold threads activate the production of connective tissue, which soon covers the gold frame. Deciding on the "gold" manipulation, the patient should take into account that in the future he will have to give up any hardware procedures.

The option with Aptos threads has the advantage that they have mini serrations that hold them in the tissues. The bio-soluble material stimulates rejuvenation and the Aptos effect lasts up to 6 years.

The cone-shaped thread material is created from propylene. The threads stimulate the production of connective tissue and effective tightening of the oval. The disadvantage of the method is that it requires a long recovery. All this time there is a possibility of swelling and it is necessary to refrain from active facial expressions.

Mesonites for chin lift

The second chin can be formed not only in overweight, but also in women of slender build. If plastic surgery scares patients away from various risks and prices, then an acceptable option for rejuvenation may be mesonites for chin lift. They act as a reinforcing mesh, and after dissolution they promote the formation of strengthening collagen fibers.

• It is known that these structures are responsible for the elasticity and youthfulness of the skin. In addition, the reinforcing framework causes blood flow and enrichment of tissues with oxygen, which has a beneficial effect on the appearance of the face.

Thanks to the chin elevator with mesonites, the lifting effect is not only preserved, but is able to accumulate and last up to two years. The procedure takes a little time, does not require hospitalization and recovery period. For anesthesia used a special cream, for the introduction of threads - very thin needles that do not leave traces. The very next day the patient can lead a normal life, avoiding only high loads and water procedures.

Mesonite implantation is a minimally invasive procedure and leaves virtually no trace. It can be carried out repeatedly, and threads based on polydiaxon in addition well combined with other rejuvenating manipulations. Over time, the threads disintegrate into carbon dioxide and water, resorbed and removed from the body.

After a health diagnosis, an individualized plan is prepared for each patient. If contraindications are found (cardiovascular and respiratory pathologies, infections, pregnancy and lactation), patients are recommended alternative methods.

Chin lift with Aptos threads

One of the options for eliminating the problem is a chin lift with Aptos threads. Their uniqueness lies in the notches that open up after the threads are inserted into the thickness. Thanks to the notches-"teeth" tissues are fixed in the desired position, their volumes are redistributed and the contour of the face is tightened to the desired point. As a result, the face looks younger, and the possibility of tissue displacement is eliminated.

Chin lift with threads requires from specialists a good knowledge of anatomy and topography of vessels, nerves and ligaments that run in this area. If the procedure is performed correctly, the following results are obtained:

• the elimination of the second chin;
• oval alignment;
• the disappearance of fine lines and wrinkles;
• increase in tone and turgor;
• A visual increase in the angle between the chin and neck.

In preparation, the treatment area is disinfected and anesthetized. The doctor draws a marking with subsequent punctures and the introduction of threads with a special needle. After completion, swelling and redness are possible. Discomfort is also likely during the rehabilitation period (2 to 3 weeks).

The operation lasts about 40 minutes and the effect lasts for two to three years. In favor of Aptos says safety and a wide range of threads, which allows you to choose exactly what you need in a particular case. The procedure leaves no traces and excludes incompatibility and passes without undesirable consequences.

Non-surgical chin lift

Cosmetologists consider the angle between the neck and chin to be one of the criteria of youth. Ideally, it is 90 degrees. At this angle, the oval is clearly defined and the chin is taut, and it is too early to talk about a chin lift.

• Unfortunately, the angle changes over time, not in our favor.

This is caused by loss of muscle and ligament tone, laxity and accumulation of fat deposits. In addition to this cause, genetic tendency, weight changes, incorrect posture play a role.

In neglected cases, plastic surgery offers an operation called "platysmoplasty" and liposuction of the problem area. However, the situation should not be neglected; at a younger age, a non-surgical chin lift is enough to correct the picture for the better.

Liposuction and platysmoplasty come minimally invasive, that is, non-surgical: without anesthesia, incisions, scars and hematomas. Modern equipment allows you to remove fat, correcting the oval, tissue tone and problem angle.

Non-surgical method can also remove other cosmetic defects on the face: bags under the eyes, sagging cheekbones, overhanging eyelids. Such techniques are successfully used on the body, including in recovery programs after childbirth and completion of lactation.

Chin lift at home

It is impossible to prevent the appearance of a second chin by any one measure. Because there are many reasons, including hereditary, which no one can influence. However, the second chin is correctable, including home remedies. Chin lift at home is carried out by the following methods:

• with exercise;
• massages;
• with a bandage;
• with Band-Aids;
• masks.

Chin lift with home fitness offers an effective rejuvenation revitonics. This is a facial gymnastics to affect the weakened musculature and the first wrinkles. The system for restoring facial architectonics has been medically tested and is said to be a complete alternative to plastic techniques.

• There are several options for massages: with hands, including with honey, towel, vacuum jars, and electric massagers.

Special masks with slits or ordinary elastic bandages are used for bandages. It can be worn at home during the day or while sleeping. The device tightens the chin and smoothes wrinkles.

• Creatively thinking women use anti-cellulite transdermal patch for this purpose and after a week they are happy with the result.

Home masks in combination with massage can leave no trace of the second chin. Fruit and vegetable mixtures, clay, protein, gelatin, vitamin E are used for masks. Do not ignore industrial products, in particular, anti-cellulite creams.

Chin lift masks

Modern cosmetology believes that each zone of the face requires separate close attention. Based on this, they produce products to care for these areas, in particular, masks to lift the chin. They are designed to improve the contour of the face, moisturize and thicken the skin, sometimes - slightly brighten. The following masks from well-known brands can be used to lift the chin:

Masks of various brands act in the same direction: they eliminate sagging and deformation, improve the condition of the skin, returning its elasticity and youthfulness. They are applied at home.

Tissue and alginate masks provide the fastest effect. The secret of tissue masks is that they are impregnated with rejuvenating and intensively nourishing components: collagen, haluronic acid, natural oils, coenzyme Q10. Alginate modeling: do not allow deformation of the chin, depending on the composition, solve the problems of a particular patient.

Exercises for a chin lift

Popular chin lift exercises are offered by a rejuvenating system called Revitonics. There are Revitonics training schools with the possibility of distance learning. The technique is suitable for all ages and is designed to maintain optimal body functioning. It solves various problems: from the prevention of musculoskeletal deformities to chin lifting.

Systematic exercises trigger the restoration of disturbed functions and the rejuvenation process. The tension of skeletal and facial muscles is equalized, lymphatic drainage is restored, and facial and neck spasms are relieved.

• The advertisement says that revitonics is successful even where surgical techniques are powerless, so it is a real alternative to plastic surgery.

The objectives of other face workouts are to encourage women to monitor their facial skin, posture, to give a basis for regular exercise that promotes facial rejuvenation.

The Internet provides descriptions of exercise complexes that do not require special training. For example, seven techniques with figurative names:

• ladle;

• perfect oval;
• to kiss a giraffe;
• resistance;
• smile;
• beech.

Properly performed techniques help the face look youthful and taut for much longer than without such exercises.

Chin lift creams

The task of chin lift creams is to increase the density, firmness, elasticity of the skin in this area, as well as on the entire face. Quality products work simultaneously in several directions:

• activate the production of elastin and collagen;
• stimulate cell renewal;
• increase moisturization.

Chin lift cosmetics formulas contain hyaluronic acid, peptides, proxylan, vitamins, rhamnose, polymers. Day creams should perform a protective and lifting function, night creams - restorative. They are chosen according to the skin type, and also depending on the age, starting from about 35 years old, when dryness appears, tone decreases, and the first folds are formed.

4. Apply pressure from the center of the cheeks to the temples.
5. Each pressure is performed six times, alternating hands.

Laser chin lift

The essence of the laser technique is that it is used to split the fat layer, removing decay products from the localization zone. Hardware chin lift is carried out safely and effectively thanks to high-quality modern technology and professional skill of specialists. The advantages of laser chin lift are as follows:

• is easier to tolerate than plastic;
• doesn't leave any scarring;
• doesn't require anesthesia;
• there is no rehabilitation period;
• starts rejuvenation and regeneration of the skin.

The technique is practiced for age-related deformities in the lower face and fatty deposits in the same area. The procedure lasts a short time, from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity and volume of work. The full effect comes after three months and lasts for five years.

The order of manipulation is as follows. A thin needle is made punctures, through them in the chin injected into the thinnest fiber. Due to the heating of tissues with low-frequency infrared radiation, fat cells are damaged and disintegrate. They are then transformed into a liquid state and removed from the body, either naturally or mechanically. Vacuum evacuation using miniature cannulas speeds up evacuation.

After laser treatment, the skin should be protected from ultraviolet light, tanning and water procedures, use medications and care products recommended by the specialist of the clinic.

Contraindications to the procedure

There are absolute and relative contraindications to performing. The former include:

• hemophilia;
• acute infections;
• serious chronic pathologies, including diabetes, oncology, goiter;
• inflammatory processes in the intended area of exposure;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding period.

Relative belong to the acute respiratory viral infections, influenza. It is not allowed to make a lift during menstruation, as well as with a tendency to keloid scarring.

Consequences after the procedure

Ideally, from each method of chin lift everyone expects maximum effect and only positive consequences after the procedure. In fact, this is not always the case, especially when it comes to radical correction methods.

• First, the patient has to get used to the "new" face. And no matter how attractive it may be, adaptation is still necessary.

At first, swelling, stiffness of facial expressions and movements, and rapid fatigue are a concern. You should be aware of this in advance, so that you are not disappointed and do not regret the money spent, time and discomfort experienced.

• The final result is not evaluated until six months later, when the tissues have had time to adapt to a different position.

You should know that no rejuvenation procedure can stop time and fix youth "forever". Sooner or later you will either have to accept it or repeat the lifting procedure.

Men should be aware that specific consequences are expected in their case: due to the displacement of the skin, they have to shave behind the ears and the growth area of the tanks is slightly narrower. Due to the denser skin, the effect of the procedure is less pronounced than in the female clientele.

Complications after the procedure

Any surgical intervention carries risks and the possibility that "something will go wrong". Often, dissatisfaction with the result is based on the patient's lack of awareness of the possibility of complications or side effects. Most complications after a lift procedure are due to traumatizing techniques, particularly plastic surgery. And due to the fact that people's anatomy and physiology are different, the outcome for patients can be unpredictable.

Chin lift and facelift in general with cosmetic threads is also fraught with complications: allergies to the material, hematoma, swelling, painful sensations. Sometimes the lift is uneven, and the threads under the skin are visible to others.

• The likelihood of some complications is much higher in smokers: for example, necrosis of the skin in the ear area and a rough scar after healing.

There is a minimal, but still a risk of facial nerve damage. Dyed hair on the temples and behind the ears may disappear temporarily and regrow only after six months. Sometimes there is some numbness of the skin separated from the underlying layers.

Care after the procedure

Each technique of chin lift requires its own rules of preparation and post-procedural care. It is especially important to organize proper care and rehabilitation after procedures performed with special equipment by plastic surgeons. Among these rules can be distinguished general: protection of treated areas from the sun, solarium, hot water and steam.

The surgeon schedules the day of dressing, bandages, sutures, and drainage tube removal. The head is allowed to be washed after two days. To reduce swelling, it is recommended to keep it raised. Scars that hide under the hair should be protected from ultraviolet light with a special cream.

• During the rehabilitation period, the patient is obliged not to overload himself with physical activity, heavy work, vigorous activity, including sex.

Alcohol and sauna are forbidden for several months. To heal faster, the body must rest and the body must be comfortable.
