Age changes on the face are manifested by loss of elasticity and elasticity of the skin. The result of intracellular changes are unattractive wrinkles. To restore the skin to youth and radiance, to correct the oval of the face, to smooth the mimic and deep wrinkles the contour plastic of the face will help.
Innovative technology allows:
- eliminate nasolabial fold;
- adjust the shape, contour and volume of the lips;
- to model cheekbones;
- Raise the corners of the mouth;
- correct the defects - "crow's feet", deep furrows on the forehead;
- give the nose the desired shape;
- to solve the problem of the coming century;
- make intimate plastic, etc.
Primary consultation is an important preparatory stage, at which the doctor will certainly specify whether you have previously used the service of contour plasty, and what goals you pursue. It should be reported on the medications taken, the manifestations of herpes in the area of the planned injection. A dermatologist will determine the type of skin and prescribe the most suitable drug. In some cases, tests are conducted on the tolerability of the "injection of youth". The specialist will give individual recommendations before the first session and tell about the contraindications of contour plasty:
- nurturing of the child and the period of breastfeeding;
- malignant tumors;
- epilepsy;
- blood clotting problems (hemophilia);
- inflammatory focus in the place of presumed drug administration;
- recently conducted - chemical peeling, laser / mechanical grinding;
- hypersensitivity to the drug;
- predisposition to scarring;
- autoimmune diseases;
- Decompensation of diabetes mellitus.
Contour plastic face is compatible with most cosmetic effects, except for the first days after the plastic surgery, in which the skin needs a sparing regimen and rest.

Contour plastic eyes
Eyes for a woman are not only a matter of pride, but also cause for concern. More precisely, anxiety is caused by skin around the eyes, this zone is considered to be the most vulnerable, tender, it is here that the first wrinkles and other signs of skin fading appear. Until recently, to remove bags under the eyes, tighten the upper eyelids, correct the line of the lacrimal groove could only be surgically. Currently, medicine offers an absolutely safe and effective way - contour eye plastic by introducing biofill fillers.
Why can early wrinkles, bags and other defects appear in the eye area, giving the wearer a tired appearance and contributing to the visual "aging" of the whole appearance?
- Hereditary factor - skin type (dry, thin, sensitive skin).
- Chronic diseases, accompanied by visual signs in the form of edema of the eyelids (kidneys, cardiovascular pathologies, endocrine diseases).
- Stresses, overwork.
- Keeping an unhealthy lifestyle - smoking, alcohol abuse, eating disorders.
- Diet cravings and sharp weight loss, or, on the contrary, too fast weight gain.
What can be corrected with contour eye plasty?
Dermatologists consider the preorbital zone to be very vulnerable and delicate, such that almost all age changes are noticeable. This is due to the fact that over time, in the eye area, there is a decrease in the amount of the subcutaneous fat layer, fiber, resulting in a change in the shape of the lower and upper eyelid. If the amount of supraorbital fiber decreases, the eye looks like sunken, when the amount of the infraorbital layer decreases, the eyelids become saggy, swollen. The visual appearance of the eyes is also affected by the condition of the subcutaneous fat layer of the eyebrow zone, if it decreases, the upper eyelids hang. Often requires correction and wrinkles in the eye zone, giving a weary look to the woman, also by injecting fillers, you can correct both nasolacrimal fissures and eye contour contours.
Thus, contour eye plastic helps to cope with the following problems:
- Significantly reduce bags under the eyes (correction of the infraorbital zone).
- Pull up the upper eyelids.
- Improve the shape of the eyes (contours).
- Carry out plastic nasolacrimal canal.
- Make correction of fine wrinkles in the corners of the eyes (crow's feet).
What does not lend itself to injection plastic?
- Significant sagging of the lower eyelid, hernia.
- Hernia of the paint bag.
What drugs are used in the contour correction of the eye?
The choice of the filler depends on the skin condition, the task posed and the possible relative contraindications (allergies). All used drugs enter the cosmetic centers in hermetically sealed containers and are intended for one-time, individual use. As a rule, fillers based on hyaluronic acid of low density are introduced into the eye area. Doctors prefer to use the technique of bolus injections, when the filler is found in the form of a minicapple rather deep in the subcircular muscle or directly on the periosteum, suprapiereally. As a result, the eye zone is filled with the drug, the volume is restored. Subcutaneous administration of fillers is not advisable, since this technique creates a contour, but also carries the risk of "translucent" the drug, that is, it can be seen under a very thin and delicate skin around the eyes.
It should be noted that after the procedure, patients often develop swelling in the correction zone. This can be explained by the natural property of hyaluronic acid to accumulate and retain liquid. Such phenomena pass fairly quickly and are considered acceptable complications after contour plasty. If the swelling does not go away within 4-5 days, you should repeatedly contact a cosmetologist for a possible correction of the skin condition, or to remove the drug. Steady puffiness can be associated with the age characteristics of the client - impaired lymphatic drainage, lymphostasis of the eyelids.
Algorithm of procedure for contour correction of eyes:
- Application on a zone requiring correction, local anesthetic.
- Introduction of the drug with a syringe, which has a very thin needle with a certain technique (depends on the corrected zone).
- Subsequent aseptic treatment of the eye zone.
- Advising the client on skin care after plastic.
The patient sees the result of correction almost immediately, the effect can last from 8 to 12 months, after which the plastic can be repeated. After the manipulation is not recommended to visit the solarium, baths, saunas for a week, and should avoid being under the sun.
Contour plastic forehead
One of the most common problems in the forehead area is wrinkles located horizontally. The reasons for their appearance depend on the age, on the client's skin, on excessive emotionality, and on heredity. Most often contour forehead plastic surgery is required for women who carefully follow their appearance and do not want to see a similar cosmetic defect in the mirror reflection. Indeed, horizontal breaks on the skin of the forehead can transform the appearance of the lady not for the better and "add" a few extra years to the age. The same effect is produced by wrinkles on the forehead of men, who have recently started resorting to the services of cosmetology salons more and more often.
In order to neutralize such wrinkles, first of all Botox is used, which rightfully takes the leading position among the methods of smoothing the skin. The toxin for a certain period paralyzes the subcutaneous muscles, providing an almost perfectly flat appearance of the forehead region. However, with deep wrinkles, creases, it is possible to use other methods, among which the most effective are the following:
- Mesotherapy.
- Contour plastic forehead with fillers filling the break on the skin.
- Frontal lifting (operation).
Let's consider in more detail the most popular and effective ways of correction of appearance of a frontal part:
- Neutralization of wrinkles with the help of Botox or Disport. Directly under the upper layer of the skin with the help of a thin needle, the drug is introduced, after which a gradual blocking of the nerve endings begins, the transfer of impulses from them to the muscles of the forehead. In a short period the muscle is immobilized, within a day the skin adapts to a new condition and is smoothed. The apparent visible effect is visually determined after 10-14 days, and the result remains from six months to one year.
- If the wrinkles are deep enough and expressed, formed over a long time period, this problem is solved by contour forehead plasty. But certainly, before the introduction of fillers, muscles, somehow, stabilize with botulinum toxin. 14 days after Botox injections, contour manipulation can also be performed. Fillers are selected taking into account the density of kinks and their depth. Filled hyaluronic acid wrinkles (or wrinkles) almost instantly create the effect of a perfectly even forehead, and the result persists for 1 year.
It should be noted that the contour procedure in the plastic surgery of the forehead is used very rarely, most often for the restoration of a perfectly even skin relief, enough mesotherapy and the introduction of Botox, this is due to a fairly thin fat layer in the upper face area (respectively, wrinkles can not be very deep). Thus, in the aesthetic medicine two main methods are practically always used to correct the appearance of the frontal part - injections of Botox (Disport) and contour filling of wrinkles with fillers based on hyaluronic acid.
Contour plastic eyebrows
Contour plastic eyebrows refers to the category of procedures that are called - upper lifting. Any age-related skin changes lead to her sagging, loss of tonus. The face not only loses its freshness, but also its shape, the sagging of the eyebrows gives the person a more gloomy appearance, adding unnecessary years. The zone of the upper eyelids and the lateral part of the eyebrows are most susceptible to such changes.
When is contoured eyebrow plastic shown?
- Hereditary type of skin, characterized by early loss of turgor, elasticity.
- Age sagging of the eyebrows (ptosis).
- Overhanging upper eyelids.
- Pronounced creases, wrinkles in the nose bridge.
The first signs of ptosis eyebrows can be eliminated with the help of hardware procedures, more pronounced age defects are corrected using endoscopic methods. But if the client does not decide on surgical lifting, there is a more gentle way - contouring in combination with injections of Botox.
Fillers are introduced according to a certain method, the cutting is done according to a previously planned "pattern", for example, the "Solar" technique is an injection from the lateral zone of the eyebrow towards the forehead zone, the introduction of hyaluronic acid occurs along lines resembling rays, hence the name Solar, the sun. Also among practitioners of cosmetic techniques are popular bolus injections, linear-retrograde method, cannulas. The materials used are absolutely safe and bioavailable, the result is saved from 8 to 12 months. Literally every other day a client can see in the reflection of the mirror a more open, fresh face, a tightened outline and visible signs of rejuvenation. Injection plastic eyebrows are shown to both women and men - recently, representatives of the strong half of humanity began to increasingly monitor their appearance, which can add additional benefits to the overall image.
Contour plastic facial preparations
Contour plastic face - an integral part of modern cosmetology, suggesting the introduction of under the skin of bioactive substances, beneficial effects on intracellular processes.
Contour face plastic is performed with preparations called gel implants:
- biodegradable - hyaluronic acid or its derivative biopolymers, which are the natural components of our skin. These products are recognized as the best absorbable materials. Famous brands to create the perfect contour are Restylane, Teosyal, Juvederm;
- permanent - silicone, polydimethylsilicone (acrylic with biopolymer gel), polyacrylamide and polymethyl methacrylate. In view of the synthetic origin and not the digestion by the enzymes of the organism, these substances are used less often;
- semi-permanent - calcium hydroxyapatite Radiesse, polylactic acid Sculptra, polycaprolactone microspheres Ellanse. The result of these implants has to wait longer, among the side effects, the formation of granulomas is isolated.
It should be noted that sometimes doctors themselves can not predict how a particular drug behaves after 15-20 years after face plastic surgery. Most of the novelties of the beauty industry come to the potential consumer without analysis of the consequences and long-term studies. The existing negative experience of "delayed complications" has forced a number of countries in Europe to abandon the use of permanent implants (for example, Dermalife causes acrylic fibrosis).
Contour plastic facial preparations of the permanent group is characterized by the following drawbacks:
- not biodegradable (not soluble) - are perceived by the body as foreign;
- are the cause of chronic inflammatory processes, often form a fibrous capsule;
- can "flow" into nearby tissues, defragment and spread to the liver and lymphoid tissue;
- presence of allergic and autoimmune manifestations;
- develop necrosis, cysts, granulomas.
Gel implants are introduced for life, therefore, to motivate oneself by economic advantage, in this case is unacceptable. For example, liquid silicone is able to migrate not only to another zone on the face, but also to the lungs and even parts of the brain.
Injections of biodegradable substances are undoubted leaders due to the advantages:
- the risk of complications is minimal;
- simple technology of drug administration;
- there is no migrating ability of the substance.
The shortcomings of absorbable implants include: a short period of action (from several weeks to a year) and a high cost.
The duration of the effect is influenced by the correctness of the drug administration and the qualification of the specialist.

Contour plastic face hyaluronic acid
Natural preparations, i.e. On the basis of biological materials are divided into:
- collagen containing substances;
- injections of hyaluronic acid of animal origin;
- Inplants with synthetic hyaluronic acid;
- including polylactic acid.
The most popular and safe alternative to plastic surgery is contoured facial plastic hyaluronic acid, restoring the volume and water balance of the skin. To achieve seductive forms, to eliminate aesthetic defects is possible in one session by injection method.
In its pure form, hyaluronic acid is excreted for up to ten days, so doctors use chemically stabilized or upgraded analogues. The most common fillers with hyaluronic acid of animal origin:
- Hilaform / Hilform (USA, Biomatrix) is a stabilized water cockelike gel. The persistence of the cosmetic effect persists for a maximum of one year. Because of the content of the admixture of avian protein, allergic manifestations (swelling, redness, pain, itching, erythema, etc.) are possible;
- Juviderm / Yuviderm (USA, "Biomatrix") is a synthesized preparation of hyaluronic acid. Virtually no side effects, the duration of the result to six months.
Contour plastic face hyaluronic acid, derived by bacterial fermentation (microbial synthesis), is popular throughout the world due to safety and positive feedback. Stabilized fillers of non-animal origin (Highlight, Restylane, Matridur, etc.) - this is the natural component of the skin, which has absolute compatibility and does not violate skin functions. The effect of drugs lasts from several months to two years, and their destruction in the body reduces to the disintegration of carbon dioxide and water.
Restylane (Restylane, Sweden / Q-MED) is a transparent gel obtained by the biofermentation of streptococcus. The drug is administered in a "linear" way, when the syringe is parallel to the skin fold, after the puncture the needle moves forward, and the pressure on the plunger of the syringe with the ejection of the filler is carried out at the time the needle is pulled out. The success of the procedure is based on visual examination and palpation, since deep injection reduces the quality of the plastic, and the surface often leads to the formation of scars or irregularities.
Contouring face plasty implants of non-animal origin is carried out by special thin needles (stilts), providing a soft and painless introduction of the drug. The duration of the session varies from 40 to 60 minutes. For each problem zone, a drug with its density is selected.

Contour plastic face filler
A lot of pharmacological companies are engaged in the development of "injections of youth", however, among the mass of gels, not many biocompatible fillers are deservedly popular. Preparations for contour plastics have been called fillers from English "fill" - fill. To date, fillers based on hyaluronic acid (the natural structural element of the skin) are recognized as the safest.
Each gel is selected individually according to the properties and concentration to ensure the effective elimination of any defect. The outline contour plasty of the face with fillers: Restylane, Surgiderm, Juvederm, having a short resorption period, or Radiesse, New-Fill of long-acting. If there are contraindications to the use of hyaluronic acid, then the Ellanse filler is used - polycaprolactone, a well-known in medicine absorbable suture material. Fillers are classified according to the degrees of viscosity. Drugs of higher density (the duration of the result from 8 to 12 months) are indispensable for a thick dermis with pronounced signs of aging, and also for the formation of the desired shape of the nose, lips or correction of the face oval. Medium viscosity gels (the effect persists up to six months) will suit patients with normal, combined and thin skin with moderate wrinkles. Fillers of minimum viscosity (result up to 3 months) correct the surface folds on dry and thin skin.
Often, contour facial plastic surgery is performed by combining several drugs, since a universal filler working with different layers of skin has not yet been invented. For example, the combination of Restylane and Perlane is possible.
The polymer of lactic acid New-Fill is successfully applied with the purpose of correction of vertical facial wrinkles. The Radiesse filler is a suspension of a cellulose gel with calcium hydroxyapatite, which is fully compatible with the living cell, does not provoke immune reactions, does not require allergy tests before use.
It should be noted that fillers stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastane. For the anesthesia of the procedure, special creams are used, some of the preparations themselves contain anesthetic components.
Contour plastic facial fillers are characterized by temporary side effects:
- puffiness - persists for several hours;
- points from injections - up to two days;
- hematomas are a rare phenomenon, since the thinnest needles are used;
- a rash of herpes.
The success of contour plastics in many respects will depend on:
- correctness of assessment of the skin, health and individual characteristics of the patient;
- characteristics of soft tissues;
- expediency and validity of the application of fillers;
- skill and qualification of the doctor.

Contour plastic face
Lifting with threads is a safe, effective method of face rejuvenation, which is possible due to revitalizing threads (absorbable or not resorbable), injected through the skin puncture.
Contour plastic face of the threads is a real breakthrough in the field of aesthetic medicine, allowing to achieve a lasting effect superior to surgical plastic, with minimal interference into the tissue.
The threads for lifting are divided into the following groups:
- with fixation - Silhouette Lift, Aptos, Happy Lift;
- mezzanine;
- 3D thread.
Fixing yarns mean a place of fixation, for example, the Silhouette has such a point in the scalp (the area of the temple). This thread length of 20cm allows you to pull the fabric in a few centimeters, not forming an assembly and reloading. Threads Aptos and Happy use notches, and in Silhouette - cones that reliably hold the skin. By means of an atraumatic canula that does not touch the vessels, the contour plastic face of the Silhouette Lift threads does not cause bruising and deformation areas. The yarn material contains L-lactic acid, which starts the revitalization processes.
Popular threads based on polylactic acid - Silhouette Lift. Biopolymer is produced artificially under laboratory conditions, it is an activator of hyaluronic acid production in the human body and does not cause autoimmune reactions. A beneficial effect lasts for up to a year or more. Polylactic acid is characterized by a delayed effect, i.e. The result will be noticeable in a few months, and the maximum effect approximately in six months. A prolonged result is possible because of the formation of its own collagen fibers under the influence of the introduced filament. Internal tissue rearrangement continues even with complete resorption of the filament fibers.
Advantages of technology:
- preservation of natural individuality - the person rejuvenates instantly, and the result - natural forms, as in photographs in his youth;
- cuts are not made - punctures are hidden under the hair;
- rapidity, lack of anesthesia;
- short rehabilitation period (a couple of days);
- affordable price;
- risks, complications are minimized.
Contour plastic facial filaments require a doctor's professionalism, and from the patient's clarity in meeting all the surgeon's prescriptions. Possible complications:
- swelling, formation of hematomas - pass by themselves. Before the procedure, it is important to cancel the medications that dilute the blood, and after lifting for about three days after the lifting, try to refrain from facial expressions;
- pain syndrome - localized in the zone of termination or fixation of the thread. Soreness completely passes as healing progresses;
- the presence of asymmetry of the face - the perfection of the result depends on the skill level of the doctor.
Filament lifting is contraindicated in: oncological and autoimmune problems, allergic conditions, blood clotting disorders, skin pathologies, pregnancy and lactation, inflammatory skin processes.
The thread correction technology gives amazing instant results - the face acquires youth, sagging and wrinkles are eliminated.
Reviews of contour face plastic
Contour plastic face - a real salvation for many women seeking to prolong their youth, remove aesthetic defects and make their image even more attractive. As for the expected and actual results, they largely depend on the task, the mutual understanding between the patient and the doctor, as well as the financial capabilities of the client.
Reviews of contour face plastic are mostly enthusiastic and positive. Disappointment occurs when improper selection of filler or a short life of absorbable drugs. In the first case, the responsibility rests with the illiterate specialist, and in the second case is the result of savings or individual indications. It is natural to remember that the best biologically compatible gels "work" on average about two years, so there can be no claims to the drug. As the patients themselves say, the main thing is to get into skilled and experienced hands, then the effect will be stunning. The choice of a clinic that is well established, and also the observance of all medical recommendations will help to look fantastic.
The price of contour plasty of the face
The cost of facial plastic surgery depends on the filler used and the area of the treated area. For example, correction of the nasolacrimal furrow will cost from 300 (with a syringe volume of 0.1ml) to 4000 (volume 1ml), elimination of atrophic scars - 270-400grn. Contouring of the area of the chin, cheekbones, lips and nasolabial folds at a price range from 2400 to 10000 UAH. The price for processing all the problem areas on the face varies from 3500 to 10000 UAH.
The price of the contour plastics of the face with filaments consists of the quantity and type of material used. The use of one 3D mezonite for neck tightening will cost 200 UAH, a forehead lift or eyebrow correction will cost 4000 UAH, a midface lift will vary from 1000 to 16,000 UAH.
Contour plastic face is an innovative technique of rejuvenation, characterized by an individual approach to solve various problems of a particular patient, therefore the issue of price policy is considered in each case individually.
