How to remove jowls on the face and tighten the oval: how to quickly get rid of them at home and what it is in women, photos, can a person fight it and with what, what causes a double chin

A double chin doesn't just change your features. Regardless of gender, with a broad gesture he adds an extra 5-10 years to his face.

The problem is not invented, because even well-groomed and thin celebrities suffer from this scourge. See for yourself:

Christina Aguilera	Victoria Beckham

Cameron Diaz	Jessica Simpson

Elizabeth Hurley

Britney Spears

And while a man can remove his double chin by growing a beard, it is not at all easy for a woman to disguise it. Unlike extra pounds on your hips, there is no way to hide this crease on your face in the folds of your clothes.

Hundreds of creams promise relief. But there is no evidence that any of them actually works.

Is all that remains in this case just to carefully monitor the position of your head and hold your back? Is it possible to remove a double chin?

Can!

Definition

A decrease in turgor leads to the fact that the skin begins to sag in the lower part of the cheeks, forming an unnatural, irregular oval of the face. It does not look aesthetically pleasing at all, indicating not only age-related changes, but also many bad habits, as well as a lack of timely and effective care.

Why does it occur in men?

A double chin does not bother men as much as it does women, but they also have it often.

What, all men have a perfectly straight back? Of course not. And for modern people it’s so special! Most of them work at a computer, relax curled up on the sofa, and like to sleep on higher pillows. The head is almost always extended forward and tilted. The muscles of the shoulder and neck regions spasm, the skin under the lower jaw sags and fills with swelling and fat.

Men, just like women, get fat and age. And in both cases, they are at risk of developing a double chin. But they can grow a stylish beard and problem solved!

What causes jowls

There are many reasons for the occurrence of such defects, among them: Genetics. If relatives had a similar problem, preventive measures should be started as early as possible.

Lack of sufficient rest. Lack of sleep affects the condition of the skin. Also, cosmetologists do not recommend sleeping on your stomach.
Bad habits do not adversely affect the entire human body.
Dramatic weight loss. Reducing the subcutaneous fat layer contributes to sagging skin - the stretched dermis does not have time to recover due to a strong jump in weight.
Stress. Try to maintain a calm state, use sedatives and contact specialists in moments of particular psycho-emotional stress.
Age factor. Some people may experience symptoms as early as 25-30 years of age, while others may experience symptoms by 50-60 years of age.
Overweight.
UV radiation. Photoaging is the main cause of skin defects. The process reduces elasticity and leads to dehydration.
Clenching of the jaws. When a person clenches his teeth too hard, the muscle becomes overstrained, which stretches over time and cannot support the weight of the skin.
Incorrect posture. It leads to the disruption of the natural geometry of the torso, which affects the entire body.
Lack of collagen and elastin. It can be a consequence of hormonal diseases, as well as age-related, genetic and other reasons.
Anatomical features. A small chin itself is the root cause of the formation of jowls at a young age. Therefore, for people concerned about this problem, surgical intervention with the installation of special supporting implants is recommended.

These are only the main factors, not counting the negative impact of the environment, allergic reactions to cosmetics and chemicals and other processes that can disrupt the natural mechanisms of the biological functioning of skin cells, leading to loss of turgor.

Non-surgical double chin correction at the ROSH clinic

The appearance of a double chin indicates a weakening of the neck muscles, an excessive increase in the layer of subcutaneous fat, and a significant decrease in the elasticity of the dermis. These problems can be eliminated using conservative or minimally invasive methods without contacting a plastic surgeon.

The specialists of the ROSH clinic have at their disposal a large arsenal of modern technologies and innovative equipment to eliminate aesthetic problems. Experienced cosmetologists perform chin correction using safe, certified preparations, developing optimal treatment tactics in each specific case, taking into account the patient’s wishes.

Correcting the situation with the help of cosmetologists

The most effective conservative methods for eliminating this defect is a visit to a cosmetology salon. The doctor will be able to determine the root cause, the degree of neglect of the problem, and also choose a set of procedures that will help in the fight for the beauty and youth of the skin. Among the existing tools:

hardware cosmetology;
injections;
non-injection drugs;
cosmetical tools;
massage and physiotherapy.

With the combination of all these approaches, it is possible to achieve not only a visual reduction of the defect, but also completely remove it or significantly slow down the sagging. All methods should be aimed at improving turgor, stimulating one’s own synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues, reducing the number of damaged, dysfunctional cells, and their renewal.

How to remove jowls on your face at home

It is quite difficult to cope with such a problem at home. All methods can be classified as preventative rather than producing tangible results.

The most effective method can only be if a person is overweight. With proper weight loss, fat will disappear from the cheeks, and with additional care, the skin will quickly tighten and create a harmonious oval of the face. However, you should not allow sudden weight loss, which will only worsen the problem. The best option is to lose 4-5 kg per month under the strict supervision of a nutritionist and endocrinologist.

If the problem has not yet gone far and is just beginning to appear, use massages, masks, and exercises as a correction or prevention.

To strengthen the front of the neck

Starting position: back straight. Join your wrists. Place your hands on your neck. Tighten your neck muscles, slightly moving your neck forward, while keeping your head in place. Provide light resistance with your hands. Do it dynamically 20 times. The exercise is performed very delicately. Do not press your head on your hands. To properly activate the muscles during the exercise, you can press your tongue into the upper palate.

Result: tightened, smooth neck skin.

Is it possible to fight jowls using conservative methods?

The only effective way is plastic surgery, threads and other interventions that will completely eliminate the unwanted defect. All other options will help in cases where deficiencies have just begun to form. They will help tighten the oval a little and prevent the rapid progression of sagging skin.

If the changes are critical, then only surgical methods will help restore turgor. In the future, you can use conservative ones to prolong the effect. With insufficient care, even after plastic surgery, the problem may return again, which will require more expensive and drastic interventions to restore beauty and youth.

Jowl massage

Quite an effective remedy. After applying cosmetics, you should move with special massage rollers or hands in the direction from the chin, to the sides and up to the ears. Massaging can also be done with a soft towel soaked in saline solution. After finishing, the salt must be washed off, and a moisturizer or anti-aging cream is applied to the skin.

Removing jowls on the face with lifting masks

Both pharmacy and home recipes are suitable. In the case of folk remedies, aloe, honey, essential oils of orange, cedar, tea tree, and argan will help. Among store-bought products, you should choose those that have the following on the label: panthenol, allantoin, marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, snail mucin and others.

Exercises for jowls

Beautiful and tightened skin on any part of the body is unthinkable without strong muscles. The face is no exception to the rule. Let's consider a special set of exercises that allows you to keep muscle fibers in good shape:

It is necessary to puff out your cheeks strongly. Then roll the air from one side to the other for 30 seconds.
Imagine a candle in front of you, purse your lips and sharply blow out the imaginary fire at least 50-60 times.
Press your index fingers to your cheeks and then try to smile. Hold your hands firmly enough so that the effort you put into this process is noticeable.
Alternately move your lips to one side and the other. Wrinkles and other irregularities on the tense part of the face should be smoothed out.
Relax your lips. They should remain in this position until the end of the exercise. Stick your tongue out as far as possible and lift the tip up. Repeat the movement for a minute.

Face fitness will help prolong youth and tighten the unclear contours of the face. It is enough to devote 15-30 minutes a day to the procedures. It is good to combine them with massage, lifting masks and other care products that improve turgor.

Cosmeceuticals

The symbiosis of cosmetic preparations and nutraceuticals has proven itself in the fight against cosmetic defects. Such compositions have both a caring effect and a healing effect on the skin. Rare plant extracts and patented effective vitamin and protein complexes help stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin in tissues and restore water-fat balance.

Cosmetics from the RHANA corporation contain the necessary proteins, vitamins, micro- and macrocomponents, growth factors necessary for cell renewal and healing:

GHC Placental Cosmetic is a biocorrector cream for intensive rejuvenation. Makes the skin denser, more elastic and firmer.
Modeling 3-D mask with placenta hydrolyzate and coenzyme Q10. Evens out tone, promotes cellular renewal, eliminates wrinkles and tightens the oval.
GHC Placental Cosmetic is a concentrated lotion for intensive rejuvenation. Serves to prevent the development of inflammation, protects skin cells from free radicals, and also restores the natural uniform color.

Lipolytic mesotherapy

Intradermal administration of lipolytic meso-cocktails is one of the modern minimally invasive methods for eliminating a double chin. To achieve the desired result, it is necessary to perform several procedures with an interval of 8-10 days.

There are two types of meso-cocktails for injection lipolysis:

liporeducers - help reduce the volume of fat cells;
true lipolytics - they destroy fat cells into components that are excreted through the lymph flow.

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Thanks to lipolytic mesotherapy, the volume of fat depot in the submandibular area can be significantly reduced.
All manipulations are performed on an outpatient basis.
The results of injection lipolysis last for a long time (at least a year).
Injection of lipolytic mesococktails has no specific side effects or complications.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to effectively eliminate a double chin using this technique. If there is a large amount of sagging skin that has lost its elasticity (for example, as a result of gravitational ptosis), the use of lipolytic mesotherapy is not advisable.

How is lipolytic mesotherapy for the double chin performed?

First, cleansing and antiseptic treatment of the correction area is performed. If necessary (low pain threshold), an anesthetic is applied.
Then a series of intradermal injections is performed to evenly distribute the meso-cocktail.
The procedure is completed with antiseptic treatment and application of a soothing mask or cooling compress.

Contraindications and side effects

Like other types of injection plastic surgery, correction using lipolytic meso-cocktails is not carried out in cases of individual intolerance to individual components or the drug as a whole, the presence of skin and autoimmune pathologies, ARVI, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, during exacerbation of chronic diseases, etc.

With the correct selection of the drug and proper implementation of the procedure, side effects are short-lived and are associated with the technique of administering the mesococktail:

during the first 2-3 days after the session, there may be redness, swelling, a burning sensation in the correction area, a feeling of fullness at the points where the needle was inserted;
Within a week, bruising from the injections may be noticeable.

Preparation and rehabilitation period

The day before a lipolytic mesotherapy session, it is necessary to stop drinking alcohol, reduce physical activity as much as possible, and also follow the individual recommendations received at a preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist (for example, stop taking certain medications for a while).

Immediately after completion of the session, in order to distribute the meso-cocktail evenly, you need to rest quietly in a lying position and drink 400-500 ml of water to restore the water-salt balance.
On the first day after injections of lipolytic meso-cocktails, for faster skin restoration and elimination of possible discomfort, it is recommended to apply cooling compresses to the correction area.
During the entire course and 2 weeks after its completion, you should not visit the sauna or be in direct sunlight.

To effectively remove fat and preserve the result for a longer period after lipolytic mesotherapy, it is recommended:

drink at least 2 liters of water daily;
Take regular walks in the fresh air;
avoid insolation of the correction zone;
use sunscreen at any time of the year.

How to tighten facial jowls surgically

The most effective, but also radical, method of correcting the situation is surgery. It is worth remembering that any intervention in the human body is accompanied by risks. Therefore, before contacting a surgeon, it is necessary to undergo a complete examination by the attending physician.

Today, there are small, gentle techniques that allow you to restore turgor with minimal intervention and tissue damage. These tasks should be a priority in solving the problems of aesthetic medicine.

Doctors also recommend contacting a medical facility before surgery to find the root cause of the prolapse. Unless, of course, they are obvious (overweight, genetics, age over 50). In this case, you can guarantee a long-term effect after applying the procedures.

Contour plastic surgery of jowls

One of the simplest methods that has proven itself well in combating sagging skin. The technique is based on injections of a special gel or filler into the deep layers of the dermis. The punctures are made at a sufficient depth so as not to form visible tubercles. The basis of such preparations is hyaluronic acid. It is quickly absorbed by cells, but at the same time stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in tissues, moisturizes, and prevents dehydration. This method is minimally invasive and low-traumatic, so it can be used even without prior consultation with a therapist. The compositions differ depending on the brand, but mainly contain:

hyaluronic acid as a base;
vitamin-protein complexes for nutrition;
lidocaine to make the process as painless as possible;
buffers to prevent the risk of inflammation.

As you can see, there is nothing dangerous in the compositions; on the contrary, all these substances are necessary for the normal functioning of dermal cells, but they are often lacking. The invasive method allows you to immediately deliver substances in large quantities to the deep layers of the dermis, triggering the synthesis of collagen, elastin and cell structure renewal.

Jowl lift with threads

Thread lifting is often used and is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It is based on the fact that thin threads are introduced under the skin, which may differ in texture:

gold;
mesothreads;
Aptos and so on.

There are enough species to list them all. They can be without thorns or with them, additional notches. They are inserted into the deep layers of the skin to create a so-called frame. It provides additional support, allowing you to improve the oval and geometry, and prevent further sagging. The result lasts from a year to five, depending on the anatomical features, care and initial choice of materials.

Installation of implants

Maxillofacial surgical inserts made of porous polyethylene help solve these problems by giving the face the desired features and geometry.

Contrary to popular belief, such an intervention is safe, although it is considered traumatic. Cases of material rejection are rare, since components of high biocompatibility are used for the manufacture of implants. Complications occur less frequently than with Botox and other minimally invasive methods. In addition, if necessary, the inserts can be easily removed, and thin cosmetic seams remain invisible to others. They are tightly fixed, do not move even with impacts, and the procedure itself is performed once and for life.

Reasons for failure

It seemed like you were doing everything right, but there was no result. Let's try to figure out what the reason is, and there may be several of them.

The internal world of the body is structured very subtly, and if we do not set specific tasks for ourselves, then they are not fulfilled. Look at yourself in the mirror, run your hand under your chin and decide how much your body fat should decrease in a week. Set the task clearly and in such a way that it is achievable.
Each body is unique, for some it is enough to do a few exercises, and the result is visible, for others, even after a month nothing works, and the reason may lie in inconsistency and irregularity. To achieve results, you need to perform the whole range of measures, exercises, massage, mask, working every day and for more than one month.
Nutrition and drinking regimen also affect the final result, if you want to look good, please switch to a healthy lifestyle and drink clean water at the rate of 30 ml per 1 kg of weight. You should drink 2 glasses of water in the morning, a glass before meals, but under no circumstances should you drink food with it. After eating, it is not recommended to drink pure water for 2 hours.

Also remember that with any program, addiction occurs, so you should take breaks from time to time, we do massage for 10-15 sessions and the skin rests for the same amount of time, we change masks, but we do exercises daily, increasing the intensity and load.

Jowl prevention

Any problem is easier to prevent. Therefore, in order not to look for methods to get rid of it in the future, you should follow a few simple recommendations:

perform small gymnastics for the face every day for 10-15 minutes;
do not forget about the use of skincare moisturizing and lifting cosmetics;
try to follow a daily routine, get more rest;
avoid the negative impact of stressful situations, if they occur - take sedatives that reduce the destructive effects of stress factors;
move more and eat right to avoid the accumulation of fat deposits;
give up alcohol and smoking;
drink enough fluids, make sure that there is no tissue dehydration;
do not eat too salty foods, minimize salt intake in the diet;
try to maintain correct posture, especially when working at a computer or when viewing content on mobile gadgets;
select cosmetics that suit your skin type;
When going outside, even in the cold season, use creams with UV protection.

These are fairly simple tips that are easy to implement to prolong your beauty and youth.

Diet and nutrition

If your goal is healthy eating, you need to give up these foods and, on the contrary, concentrate on the following:

PROTEINS (eggs, meat (beef only, no pork), fish, poultry, cottage cheese, milk, kefir).
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES (rice, buckwheat, durum pasta, oatmeal, potatoes).
WATER (regular plain water, not Coca-Cola, Pepsi, etc., and not even mineral water, preferably not carbonated).
FIBER (cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, etc. only without mayonnaise dressings, etc.)

In the first half of the day, give preference to carbohydrates, and in the second half, after 15.00 or 16.00, eat mainly proteins. This is done taking into account the fact that during the day the body requires energy (and carbohydrates are energy), and in the evening the need for energy is less (there is no physical activity), therefore building material is required (and building materials for our body are proteins). That's all.

Eat less carbohydrates (carbohydrates, as you may know, are the main source of energy), and as I said earlier, eat carbohydrates mainly in the first half of the day before 16.00, and then proteins. And don’t forget that carbohydrates are: complex (they are long-lasting: rice, buckwheat, pasta, oatmeal) and simple (cakes, cookies, ice cream, sweet juices, etc.). your goal is to EXCLUDE SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES and consume ONLY COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES.

Also eat a lot of FIBER (this is dietary fiber) which slows down the absorption of food. They have a very good effect on visceral fat, i.e. cleanse the body of it. Therefore, eat vegetables and fruits in any quantities (as much as possible), but an important rule is NO DRESSINGS (such as mayonnaise, etc.).
