The best plastic surgeons for facelifts: specialists in their field

What is facelift surgery?

After a facelift, facial contours are restored, appearance improves, and a person’s internal state is harmonized. The popularity of this operation is growing.

Professionals recommend plastic surgery for 35-55 year olds. This is the time when the skin has not yet lost its ability to regenerate. There are several types of lifting.

By type of area being treated:

• the upper one is designed to work in the area of ​​the forehead and eyebrow line, while excisions are made in the scalp;
• The middle one leads to the treatment of nasolabial folds and folds around the mouth and cheeks. Incisions are made in the temporal region and above the upper lip;
• the lower one covers the lower jaw, chin, and neck. The incision is made under the chin.

During the operation, the surgeon uses one or several types of lifts. And if a circular facelift is chosen, the specialist treats all 3 zones, changing the intensity of the intervention.

By depth of intervention:

1. Subcutaneous lifting does not affect fatty tissue and facial muscles. This method is suitable for those whose face is affected by age-related changes.
2. SMAS lifting works with both the skin and the muscular structure of the face, so the procedure combats underlying age-related problems, such as sagging and loss of skin elasticity.

Wrinkles, pigmentation of the epidermis, and loss of volume can be treated with a non-surgical facelift.

To achieve this, chemical peeling, hyaluronic acid injections and hardware procedures are performed.

After this, on the initiative of the head coach of Poltava Vorskla Vladimir Muntyan, the Poltava team bought out Chumak’s contract. The estimated transfer amount was $20,000[2]. In the Poltava club, the main goalkeeper was Vitaly Postransky, while Chumak competed with Andrei Pyatov for the place of the second goalkeeper. Then Pyatov became the main goalkeeper, and Sergei Dolgansky appeared in the team, and the young reserve goalkeeper Oleg Chuvaev also showed confident play.[ source not specified 71 days

Chumak

A terrible and unforeseen incident occurred on September 9, 1968 in Leningrad, during a speech on Leningrad television in the notorious live broadcast of the First Secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU, Comrade Tolstikov. A few minutes after the start of the broadcast, Comrade Tolstikov felt ill, lost consciousness, and the broadcast was interrupted; Comrade Tolstikov was struck by a severe stroke, and he died on the studio floor without regaining consciousness, despite all the efforts of the resuscitation team. The case was egregious and unacceptable: the death of a leader of such rank should have been presented to the people as an abstract secret of the Higher Spheres as the death of the Chinese Emperor. For political reasons, a rumor was created about his removal and appointment as USSR Ambassador to China, and even jokes were made on this topic. This is relatively well known. Less known and almost unmemorable is that the very next day, his first deputy and second secretary, Comrade Grishchenko, appeared on the same television in order to read the same address, programmatic and necessary: ​​September 68 - the turning point of the political course after many events in the world and the country . And he suffered exactly the same fate!.. And you say... A strict non-disclosure agreement was taken from all television workers and the intensive care team. The KGB with desperate force shook up the TV, the Smolny canteen, the staff of assistants and assistants, drivers and mechanics of the regional committee garage, checked all contacts, squeezed out the juice from the pathological anatomy and biochemical laboratory of Sverdlovka, interrogated the families: in vain; stroke, all the symptoms, and that's it. They were looking for a terrorist attack! Colonel Kalugin became a general at the Leningrad KGB! Everyone rowed: they were burning with zeal, they remembered Kirov, no joke. And when everything was squeezed out, a grain remained in the sediment: television. And it turned out: In August, LenTV, Chapygina 6, received, in order to switch from b/w to color, new French equipment in the SECAM system (very little used in the world compared to PAL). The tight-fisted and impoverished state (the oil crisis had not yet arrived, petrodollars were not flowing in) spent more than was absolutely necessary on only two items (and, in fact, one): weapons and ideology. That’s why they slammed money into TV, the main weapon of ideology and propaganda. Western statistics already existed: how much more effective and stronger impact does color TV have on the viewer than black and white. That's why we chose SECAM. Not because it’s cheaper—price was not a factor in ideology. And (less perfect?! hehe...) the colors were more concentrated, more active, unnaturally more contrasting - they hurt the eyes and brain more. That's why the Central Research Institute of Communications was there. And when a speaker, or even more so a party leader, addresses the people through a color screen, the efficiency of the intelligibility of his speech increases significantly. The circuit through which the affecting image and sound is transmitted is simple: speaker - camera - cable - monitor - cable - remote control - cable - amplifier - transmitting antenna - broadcast - receiving antenna - cable - TV receiver - viewer. In principle and in general terms this is true. This is the chain through which the influence occurs. And how it goes! When in the late eighties Kashpirovsky and Chumak actually put many people to sleep, some people’s sores actually healed, they charged the water, etc. - they quickly got used to this, millions of people felt the effect on themselves, and no one was particularly surprised. Doctors mostly did not believe and cursed, many after the programs turned to them with an obvious deterioration in their health - but this is also an effect, negative, but the most reliable: it was recorded by traditional mass medicine. And not just hypnosis, not just suggestion: what about that American guy who started the watch on TV for viewers to wake up? Many laughed, but he was on TV! — the stopped Big Ben started! This is an absolute fact, there are a lot of witnesses and journalists. That is: the connection is semiconductor, in one direction. But: absolute semiconductors do not exist in nature. Firstly, the reaction force tends to equal the action force. Secondly, if the “receiving” end of such a semiconductor connection is itself energetically charged, then if it reaches a very high, powerful energy level, a message arises from it of such strength that it exceeds the valve-closing capabilities of the semiconductor and is pressed towards the opposite direction . Communication becomes two-way. It’s like if you connect a powerful compressor to a water tap: either the pipes will burst, or the roof will fly off the water pump. And Leningrad fiercely hated its party bosses. Since Zhdanov's times they have been talking about the greed, meanness and cruelty of the owners of Smolny. And their faces inspired disgust. And the evil, negative energy of millions of television viewers was made up of drops, just like a jet of a hydromonitor under enormous pressure cuts down a granite rock. TV - cable - antenna - broadcast - TV tower antenna - amplifier - cable - remote control - cable - monitor - cable - camera - speaker! And when the operator pointed the camera's crosshairs at the boss's eyes, this was equivalent to pointing an optical sight, a harpoon gun, or a remote-controlled ATGM. After this, work on introducing VCRs on TV was hastily accelerated, and the era of live broadcasts ended for a long time. And as administrative measures, they changed the leadership and appointed the hardened committeeman, the iron and permanent Lapin, as chairman of the State Committee for Television and Radio. Nobody, of course, noticed in the flow of official information that the Lenin Prize for 1969 in the field of technology was received by a “group of employees” of the Central Research Institute of Communications “for the introduction into operation of original new generation technologies.” And no one wondered why the First Secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU, member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, Comrade Romanov, never spoke live on television. So everything was known to whoever needed it for a long time, was taken into account and used.

Man of the Day: Alan Chumak

Alan (Allan) Chumak was born on May 26, 1935, a journalist who gained fame in the late 1980s thanks to television sessions of “extrasensory influence.”

Private bussiness

Alan (Allan) Vladimirovich Chumak (1935 – 2017) was born in Moscow, graduated from the State Central Order of Lenin Institute of Physical Culture, then from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. He worked in the district committee of the Komsomol of the Zhdanovsky district of Moscow, the Moscow City Council of Trade Unions, a sports commentator and editor on central television, editor of the joint editorial office of the GDR and Poland of the News Press Agency, correspondent for the Leninsky Znamya newspaper, assistant at the Research Institute of General Pedagogical Psychology of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR.

What is he famous for?

As Allan Chumak says, at the age of 42, a revolution took place in his life. While working on an article about charlatan healers, he met with several practicing psychics. During one of these meetings, he unexpectedly discovered that he had psychic abilities. “Multi-colored streams of energies flowed in front of me, the auras of my friends glowed. The colors were constantly changing, colorful rivers intersected, merged into a single stream, diverged into different channels; Spots of light appeared and disappeared, colored threads of energy interactions stretched out and disappeared. And I saw: everything here is interconnected - things, phenomena, people - everything exists in a multitude of information connections, in unity.” After this, Chumak himself began the activity of a psychic healer.

In the late 1980s, he became famous throughout the country after television sessions that were shown for three months. During the sessions, Chumak did not resort to verbal suggestion, but made passes with his hands and silently moved his lips. Explaining his actions, he said that through the television screen he charges objects with healing energy. The sessions attracted an audience of millions. Subsequently, recordings of A. V. Chumak’s sessions were sold on video cassettes, and “charged” portraits of the healer and “charged” water also went on sale.

Died in Moscow in 2022. He was cremated and buried next to his family at the Donskoye Cemetery.

What you need to know

Scientists and doctors have always denied any effect from Chumak’s sessions on charging water, other objects and influencing patients remotely or in face-to-face sessions. Some cases of a positive effect are explained as a psychosomatic phenomenon caused by self-hypnosis of the patients themselves.

Direct speech:

Alan Chumak

“When I found the gift, life began anew for me. I relived my childhood and adolescence - during the years of training and the first steps in healing practice. I again entered the period of maturity: then the “television epic” began and, however, ended quite quickly - my most effective action in life; it was followed by years and years of performances in the country and abroad - a massive, big job. But time flies - everything changes. For me, the form of mass healing practice has become obsolete - I met millions of people, helped them in any way I could - In the word and deed of my life, I told them a lot. A different time has come... In recent years, I have not organized large-scale creative meetings - I limited myself to individual receptions and sometimes performed in small halls.” Chumak A. V. (from the book “To those who believe in miracles”)

“In the late 80s, I worked in foreign broadcasting, and Alan Chumak was imposed on us - we translated this madman’s nonsense into 82 languages. His famous smacking and charming pauses were spread all over the world. And yet, medical shamans are not as scary as political shamans. Politburo member Alexander Yakovlev is a shaman who has no equal. He encouraged all this obscurantism. And it is not Kashpirovsky and Chumak that should be judged, but Yakovlev, who helped them spin an unprecedented scam.” Viktor Anpilov (response to a survey by Komsomolskaya Pravda)

“From now on, many people turned their attention to such a powerful means of communication as television. On the home screen, along with sorcerers, astrologers, girls communicating with the devil <...>, handsome healers appeared. They operate with scientific versions of biofields, use psychological terms (such as, for example, “installation”), or, silently manipulating their hands, suggest that they charge the audience, and at the same time various objects brought to the screen, with healing energy. <…> The low level of medical care, the inaccessibility of supervision from high-class specialists, the lack of effective medications, etc., all this, it would seem, can be compensated by simply turning on the TV. But to understand the sensational success of “telehealing,” we cannot limit ourselves to citing the failure of the Ministry of Health. History teaches us lessons related not to the somatic, but to the social aspects of the “epidemic” popularity of suggestion and hypnosis. We had the opportunity to verify this in connection with the spread of mesmerism, when many people flocked to Paris on the eve of the revolutionary explosion, believing in the healing power of the magnet and “magnetized” hands.” Mikhail Yaroshevsky, Doctor of Psychology, Professor (magazine “Questions of Psychology”. No. 3. 1994)

Reviews

ZOYA, 40 YEARS OLD:

“The upper eyelids have noticeably drooped, and I decided to correct this defect.
I contacted Dr. Karpova, and she performed a brilliant operation, tightening my upper eyelids with pinpoint precision. The result is amazing, because I look younger: I look refreshed, my eyes are open, my eyes seem to have opened wider. The surgeon performed neat, tiny stitches after the operation; after rehabilitation, they were completely unnoticeable.

I am very pleased with Elena Vasilievna’s “creativity” and recommend her to other brave and determined patients!”

INNA, 45 YEARS OLD:

“I had circumferential blepharoplasty and a facelift with Dr. Almazov.
At first I was confused by his age. But, having seen the result, I realized that the young specialist is a Professional with a capital P. Now I enjoy the result. I look 10 years younger. Ilya Alekseevich created a miracle; not only my husband, children, grandson, but also my colleagues admire my appearance. And if you need to fix anything else in your face, then only go to him.”
