A harmonious face and body quickly and for a long time is not such a pipe dream. The main thing is to start acting. How - will tell the speakers of the special section OK! about the techniques practiced in the leading beauty clinics in Russia.
About body proportions
Ksenia Avdoshenko, surgeon at the Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology
Recently, we often hear that the requirements for aesthetic medicine, as well as for general medicine, have changed: it is wrong to improve or heal one area of the body in isolation, but it is right to engage in complex correction, the result of which will be general harmony and health. So, at the Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology, we often talk not about liposuction of a separate area, but about a whole complex of telocontouring operations, which include liposuction of different parts of the body, abdominoplasty, plastic surgery of the hips, shoulders and mammary glands. This can be conditionally called body harmonization. And the most interesting thing is that not only patients with a large excess of adipose tissue can resort to them, but also those who have only a couple of extra pounds, who do not lend themselves to any sports loads and are the only obstacle on the way to the body of their dreams.

These are fat traps. In these zones, adipose tissue is quite dense, it is poorly supplied with blood and even with a strong weight loss it melts in the last turn. Our surgeons have at their disposal a technique of endoscopic abdominoplasty, which allows only through an incision in the navel to eliminate diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles, which, for example, occurs in every woman after childbirth. We often connect the Body Jet water-jet liposuction device to our work. Through punctures under the skin, the surgeon inserts a cannula into the area of adipose tissue, which conducts a powerful stream of saline solution that breaks down the fat cells. The damaged fat cells are then removed from the body using a special vacuum. A month in compression underwear - and you get the perfect proportions.
About a face like a young model
Ilmira Petrova, cosmetologist, head of the Lantan clinic
We are increasingly being approached by patients who want not to change something in their appearance, but rather to reduce or completely get rid of the signs of aging of the facial skin. After all, fashion trends, and with them common sense, dictate: if the skin shines and looks healthy as in youth, bright makeup is not needed, the main thing is harmony in the face. We consider the technology of volumetric skin remodeling using the AIRgent 2.0 device to be one of the most effective methods in this matter. It aims to restore the volume and structure of the skin. Because one of the most important signs of youth is precisely the shape of the face. Plus, this technique improves the appearance of the skin even in the most delicate areas, such as the area around the eyes and mouth. By the way, it shows equally impressive results on the neck, in the décolleté and even on the hands.

The AIRgent device injects active particles of hyaluronic acid into the skin using pneumatic injection. It is important that the skin is not injured in this case: the impact occurs through microscopic non-invasive channels no more than 200 microns in size. The particles reach the desired depth, leaving the surrounding tissues intact and producing only intradermal microtrauma. These microtrauma mechanically stretch the fibroblasts, which stimulates growth factors and slows down the collagen breakdown process. After reaching the deep layer of the skin, the drug begins to spread in it due to the kinetic energy of the jet stream. It even reaches the SMAS (muscle level) level. The hyaluronic acid preparation used in the treatment attracts water molecules into the skin. This provides high-quality hydration of the entire skin, and the skin of the face acquires the coveted density and elasticity. And since microtraumas trigger the process of natural healing and collagen growth in the dermal layer, this also gives a tightening effect.
A pleasant bonus from the procedure can be a reduction in stretch marks and atrophic scars, as well as traces of post-acne. The effect of the procedure is visible after the first session, but the recommended course is three weeks.
About beauty without age
Irina Syskova, head of the Beauty trend beauty clinic
Irina Syskova, Head of Beauty Trend Beauty Clinic
Irina, we are increasingly talking about the fact that a woman can be beautiful at any age, but at the same time we constantly crave information from the field of rejuvenation. What do you think about this?
I don't think there is a contradiction in this. Rather, it is about the fact that our patients are becoming more and more demanding every day, and we carefully select and bring to Russia the best of the beauty industry that has appeared on the world markets. Fortunately, intensive communication with colleagues from other countries allows us to do this. And fortunately, today there is a very positive trend: many began to understand that beauty is, first of all, healthy skin, even in color and texture.
Tell us about the most promising procedures and techniques in this regard.
Our clinic is actively developing Endoret plasma therapy. We became the authors of an international project in cooperation with the Spanish Institute of Biotechnology. Recently, at a conference in Monaco (a conventional "Oscar" for all aesthetic medicine doctors from all over the world), our doctors presented a new product and new protocols that allow them to work on skin quality at the most advanced level.
Radiant skin in a few days, a harmonious, "non-pumped" face after the procedure, as well as the elimination of the risk of allergic reactions - these are the reasons for the popularity of this Spanish technique.
What else is your team proud of?
Tandem cosmetologist - plastic surgeon. For example, a surgeon performs blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and a beautician treats the skin in the lower eyelid area with a laser. For the patient, this is just one rehabilitation period, one anesthesia and the maximum result. It also gives the patient confidence that the doctors are honest with her and choose the most effective way of rejuvenation for her.
What's new to expect in the near future?
We launched the After Baby program. This is a program for recovery after childbirth, when one visit of a young mother to the operating room allows you to restore the breast, return the previous figure and get rid of intimate postpartum nuances. And soon expect another novelty for rejuvenation without a rehabilitation period!
Patient opinion
Anna Kalashnikova, actress, singer, model
Anna Kalashnikova
Recently, Anna decided to undergo plastic surgery to remove Bish's lumps. Removal of fatty lumps in the cheek area became popular when contoured cheekbones came into vogue, but today, almost ten years later, many plastic surgeons consider this manipulation not entirely justified.
Anna, how did you decide? After all, there are no indications for removing Bish's lumps?
I've always liked the faces of Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie: a chiseled oval, clear cheekbones, dimples. But I decided only when I saw the result from a friend. Not a single trace of the operation, plus, in her words, it doesn't hurt more than a tooth to heal.
So how did this happen?
I decided that I would only go to Dr. Igor Anatolyevich Bely, a surgeon with 20 years of experience, to the Ottimo clinic. First, he did a 3D face modeling for me, on which I saw future results. And already at the next appointment, everything happened: anesthesia, half an hour of the operation and the finished result immediately after it. I forgot about the small stitches on the inside of my cheeks after a couple of days, and the swelling went away after five. Since then, there has not been a second when I regretted the operation: I really like my contoured cheekbones!
