Descrizione

Beauty is inspired by three key principles: symmetry, balance and harmony. In time, the face loses its tone and the skin becomes thinner, marking itself easily. A compulsive search for the perfect selfie (the so-called selfiemania) does not help. If one doesn’t choose the right angle or three quarter pose, it can result in an exaggerated protrusion even when it is not present. Read more about mid face contouring.

This practice is assimilated to “face contouring”, something women are already familiar with, as it’s a very popular technique used to apply make-up at a strategic level, to reproduce the optical illusion mentioned above. Certainly contouring using specific make-up products (first of all primers and foundations, then powders and blushes) is a valid ally to work on your face and modify some somatic features, just like wearing a mask.

Kylie Jenner has built her empire on top of mid face contouring. She opened a cosmetics house that has made contouring products its workhorse. But she herself stated in multiple interviews that, even before makeup, it was fillers that literally changed her life and ultimately her facial features. In fact, fillers act temporarily, but with a prolonged effect: the effect lasts for about six months, and can be repeated indefinitely.

It should not be underestimated that this type of intervention is also in great demand by male patients. In some way also connected to the new brotox. For women, a softer but still defined cut is preferred, such as that of Kylie or Cara Delavigne, to be combined with the bichectomy if necessary.

Indicazioni

The areas most frequently affected are the zygomatic region, which over the years tends to empty creating the image of a tired face, and the jaw line, which tends to lose its definition and linearity. The redefinition of the cheekbones in most cases serves to recover volume and symmetry in the cheek and face, to fight alterations due to aging, sudden weight loss or simply for aesthetic purposes. The jaw contour can be treated with fillers to give the face a more youthful appearance thanks to the correction of the typical irregularities of the jaw line that appear over the years. The filler works almost counterintuitively for the patient: it adds and reshapes instead of removing.
The definition of the face therefore does not take place by emptying or digging the face, but by resizing the volume thanks to a personalized study of the individual case.

Utilizzo

During the consultation phase, the areas to be treated are identified with the patient, an anesthetic cream is then applied to proceed with the treatment. The implant is carried out by means of blunt microcannulas that allow the positioning of the product in a completely non-traumatic way.

During the treatment a slight discomfort may be felt, and redness and / or swelling and rarely small bruises may appear, but tend to disappear quickly. Ice can be applied to relieve the pain and reduce the risk of bruising.

The effect is immediate and tends to improve over the following days. It is possible to return immediately to your daily activities, however it is necessary to avoid applying make-up for at least 4-6 hours after the treatment and / or use acid-based products for 24 hours, undergo spa treatments, sauna or other heat sources for at least 1 week.

The duration of the effect varies from patient to patient and based on the type of product used. On average, it ranges from 6 to 12 months.

Risultati

The operation is similar to the most common filler injections, such as rhinofiller, lip filler, cheekbones and eye contour.

The session is outpatient, the resumption of normal activities is immediate and, above all, the difference is immediately noticeable, within 10 minutes.
