Over the past few years, aesthetic medicine has developed at such a pace that operations that were considered difficult until recently are now performed on an outpatient basis, and the recovery period takes a matter of days. Moreover, some procedures have completely lost their relevance.
Circular lift
The fashion for a circular lift remained far away in the 80s and 90s. She was replaced by Aptos sutures, tragus lift and other operations with a lower risk of trigeminal nerve damage. Doctors prefer to make do with small sacrifices, and the result is quite acceptable.
The obvious disadvantages of circular tightening are several factors, including the short-term effect of the operation, severe swelling and a long rehabilitation period (up to 3-4 weeks). In addition, the skin after the operation will look taut, but not young and fresh in any way, and this is precisely the goal that patients pursue.
An example of a failed circular lift is Kim Basinger. After this operation, the actress became unrecognizable. In addition, the star underwent blepharoplasty, the cut of her eyes became completely different, and her eyebrows were raised unnaturally. Another victim of the unsuccessful brace was the actor Colin Firth. The Oscar winner for his role in The King's Speech did not look younger, he turned into a different man.

Implants in the cheekbones
Now the installation of implants in the cheekbones is no longer so relevant. Instead, fillers are made based on hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyopathide. Installation of implants often leads to the fact that the edges of the implant stick out, which is why it is necessary to add injections of hyaluronic acid so that the transitions are less noticeable.
In general, any injections are less traumatic than surgery. The procedure is quick and the patient can be free immediately. Although the effect of the injections is short-lived, the patient can experiment, slightly modeling his appearance. In rare cases, it happens that a person wants to change once and for all. Therefore, experts use hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyopathide, which is enough for 1.5-2 years.
It is difficult to say with certainty whether Donatella Versace and Anastasia Volochkova have implants. But both stars have puffy, edematous faces, which suggests that the doctors tried to correct some mistakes (probably just the protruding edges of the implants) and stabbed the faces of their patients.

Lip implants
Previously, they were even produced by American and Brazilian pharmaceutical companies. But when fillers with soft stitching appeared, they began to be used to increase the volume and shape of lips through injections. Now there are fewer and fewer people who want to install implants in the lips.
It should be understood that the implant does not change the shape of the lips, but only makes them larger. Since the implant is an integral structure, it is impossible to undergo correction of any one part of the lip - it is positioned evenly from one edge to the other. The implants may not take root, which means that you will have to carry out an operation to remove them. Installation of implants is contraindicated for those who are allergic to silicone and who have a tendency to scar tissue.
The most obvious example of an unsuccessful installation of implants in the lips is Masha Malinovskaya. The implants were so large that the TV presenter had to remove them after a while with the help of an operation, which, unfortunately, was unsuccessful, and Maria's face still looks imperfect. The surgeons did not work in the best way with Renee Zellweger. The actress had implants inserted into her lips and cheeks (in addition to blepharoplasty and botox). As a result, “Bridget Jones” was hardly recognized even by photographers accustomed to constant changes in the appearance of stars.

Implants in the nose
At one time in Europe and America it was fashionable to place implants in the nose. But in Russia this technique did not take root, although they actively tried to introduce it. She did not find sufficient demand from patients.
And in Asia, this procedure is very popular and in demand, although the consequences of it are very different. For someone, the implant is displaced during sex, in a dream, with an unsuccessful physical impact on the face. Implants can become inflamed and do not always take root, so most specialists do not recommend their patients to use synthetic materials to correct the shape of the nose.
