Plastic surgeon Alexander Vdovin - about 5 methods of rejuvenating the perioral zone
The look of sadness on your face doesn't always indicate your bad mood. For the most part, this is a consequence of age-related changes, more precisely, gravitational ptosis, to which we are all susceptible. Due to ptosis, the oval of the face begins to float, nasolabial folds appear, the tissues sag and, of course, the corners of the mouth descend. Modern aesthetic medicine offers a myriad of ways to deal with this problem.
Face building
How effective this method is, you can judge by trying a couple of exercises. Today on the internet you will find tons of facial fitness fans who have a huge following of this therapy. From a medical point of view, this procedure should be used for prophylaxis, when no tangible problems with ptosis in the patient have yet been identified, and in order to avoid them, you can resort to special exercises. For example, clenching and unclenching lips, smiling exclusively with the corners of the mouth and others. In the case when the corners of the mouth have already treacherously lowered, and the face has acquired a mournful expression, it is not very reasonable to rely only on gymnastics - this is a good way of prevention, but not treatment. With clear signs of ptosis, it is worth resorting to more effective methods of rejuvenation.
Lip dermatography
Permanent lip makeup can be attributed to one of the most popular procedures among the fair sex at the present time. With the help of tattooing, they correct the shape of the lips, eliminate the consequences of surgical interventions, get rid of such visual imperfections as asymmetry, scars. If we are talking about age-related imperfections, then permanent makeup solves problems such as the restoration of the shade (lips become pale with age) and the contour, which is blurred over time. Dermotatouage refreshes the face, lifts the corners of the mouth and thus rejuvenates. This procedure also has a significant drawback: permanent makeup does not restore lip volume - a problem that older patients also often face. You can make your lips visually more plump at a young age, and if you have already had to deal with wrinkles around the mouth, it is recommended to combine tattooing with augmentation of the perioral zone (the area around the mouth).
Lip augmentation with fillers
Some of the fair sex are mistaken when they think that lip augmentation can only be in order to become even more charming, attractive and sexy. The procedure for moisturizing the lips and their augmentation is indicated for almost all patients aged 40-45 +. What problems does Filing solve in this case? First of all, the augmentation procedure improves skin turgor and promotes elasticity, restores the color and appearance of the lips, relieves dryness, microcracks and flaking. Fillers help to correct the shape, add the required volume, thereby solving the problem of a floating lip contour and loss of plumpness. This procedure is able to get rid of wrinkles around the mouth and even nasolabial folds, which allows you to fully resolve the issue with the expression of grief on the face. In this regard, this procedure is indicated for different age groups of patients who are faced with age-related changes - from 35 to 55 years and above.
Botox
Botulinum toxin injections are another method to lift the corners of the lips and get rid of the expression of grief on the face. This drug neutralizes depressor muscles. These are the muscles that pull the face down with age, giving it a very mournful expression. An injection of botulinum toxin helps to neutralize the action of the muscle that lowers the corners of the mouth. This procedure is recommended for those patients who are concerned only with this problem and do not set themselves the goal of resorting to lip augmentation with fillers.
Bulhorn
This type of surgery refers to cheiloplasty (lip plasty). At an early age, Bulhorn is used for the final correction of the shape of the lips. If filler augmentation gives a temporary effect, then bulhorn changes shape for a long time. However, the indications for this intervention are not only aesthetics, bulhorn is included in the list of anti-aging surgeries along with upper blepharoplasty, removal of Bisha's lumps, mucosal lifting, tragus lift and temporal lifting. It removes wrinkles around the mouth, nasolabials, lifts the corners. With the help of bulhorn, it is possible to reduce the distance between the upper lip and nose, which also stretches with age and under the influence of ptosis, to raise the cheek-zygomatic zone and give the lower third of the face a much more youthful appearance. This operation is often combined with the so-called suturing of the nostrils, which allows you to achieve a greater rejuvenating effect.
