Chin correction with fillers: how to get the best results from the procedure

The chin plays a significant role in shaping the attractiveness of our face. But unfortunately, not all people have it ideal with the correct shape and size. Problems may be due to congenital and acquired defects, age-related changes, or initially irregular shape. Plastic surgery can give harmony to the face.

Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct and correct the size and shape of the chin. Plastic surgery can eliminate asymmetry, pronounced defects, and correct a double chin.

Mentoplasty has now become a very popular type of plastic surgery, because all men and women want to have correct and harmonious features: men have a strong-willed and prominent chin, and women have a neat one. In addition, chin plastic surgery is very effective and does not take much time, both during surgical procedures and during the rehabilitation period.

What is the procedure

Chin contouring is a safe, uncomplicated cosmetic procedure for correcting the lower third of the face area, the shape and outline of the chin. With its help, you can get rid of congenital and acquired defects in appearance, and model the oval of the face. Fillers are used as a corrector tool.

Cosmetologists use 2 methods of introducing filler under the skin or inside the skin:

• transdermal - the most common and familiar method of contouring, the drug is injected from the outside into the problem area;
• transoral - rarely used, the introduction of a special composition is performed through the oral cavity. Unlike the previous method, the puncture sites are not visible, the integrity of the skin is not compromised.

The procedure is a success among young women who want to correct the contour of their face, give it more femininity and grace, and also correct existing defects and imperfections. It is no less popular among older patients who are concerned about sagging soft tissues with age. Often, contour plastic surgery of the lower third of the face is used by men to enlarge the chin and give their appearance a kind of brutality.

The effect is temporary, comparable to surgical intervention. The updated appearance will please the patient for a maximum of 3 years, after which the procedure is repeated.

Despite the simplicity of the correction technique, the success of the final result depends 80% on the skill level of the cosmetologist and how evenly he distributes the composition. Therefore, be very strict when choosing a clinic or specialist.

Important point! Correction of the chin area through surgery, installation of an implant, or a radical change in its shape and size is called mentoplasty or genioplasty. This is a full-fledged plastic surgery.

Indications for use

Correction of the chin and lower third of the face is recommended in the following cases:

• the patient has a disproportion of the lower third of the face (the chin is too small in relation to other parts of the face, it looks inharmonious, there is not enough volume);
• to eliminate pronounced asymmetry of the chin area, which can be congenital or as a result of injuries suffered after an accident;
• for tightening soft tissues that sag with age;
• the client wants to correct the shape of the face, make it round, triangular, more feminine;
• the patient wants to get rid of dimples and other defects on the chin.

Chinplasty is performed on patients over 23 years of age. Before this age, the human facial skeleton is just forming, so this kind of procedure is not allowed.

Possible complications ↑

• Chin surgery can cause infection. If an infection occurs, the implant must be removed immediately.
• If an implant has been inserted, there is a possibility that it will dislodge. Moving the implant greatly changes the appearance for the worse and causes discomfort. Only a repeat operation can correct the situation.
• Chin plastic surgery for some time is subsequently accompanied by discomfort, swelling, sometimes hematomas and even numbness of the lower part of the face.

In general, mentoplasty has a very beneficial effect on a person’s appearance, restoring the harmony of the face. Patients who decide to undergo such an operation are very satisfied with the result and their reviews are only positive.

What effect to expect

Contour mentoplasty will provide high results only if you select high-quality fillers, follow the technology of the procedure and the rules for further care of the chin area. The result of the correction is noticeable immediately, but cosmetologists advise assessing the effectiveness of the procedure after 7 days, when the side effects have passed.

Patients can enjoy an impeccable appearance from six months to 3 years. The timing is affected by the composition and properties of the injected filler. Be prepared that after a while the chin surgery will have to be repeated.

With the help of fillers, a cosmetologist can:

• lengthen the chin, give it the desired shape and volume;
• eliminate folds in the double chin area;
• model the outline of the lower third of the face;
• hide the dimple on the chin;
• round the face into a square shape, smooth out the triangular, pear-shaped outline;
• clear facial contours are formed.

If the patient is under 23 years of age and there are contraindications for contour mentoplasty, the doctor insists on other methods of correcting the jawline, including surgery.

Indications

The chin correction procedure is recommended if you have the following problems:

• slight bevel, when the upper part becomes visually more voluminous;
• protruding chin;
• square shape for women, or feminine for men;
• asymmetry;
• excessive fat deposits, which causes the formation of a double chin;
• deformation after injury;
• birth defect.

Before making a decision to perform chin correction, you must first consult with a specialist who can also do 3D modeling of a new face shape.

Choosing the best filler

To model the shape of the chin, cosmetologists use the densest fillers. They perfectly hold the given shape and provide a more lasting effect.

Types of fillers

There are several types of fillers, depending on the main active ingredient:

• biodegradable fillers - over time, the injected composition is destroyed, and the breakdown products are gradually eliminated from the body naturally. This group includes drugs with the addition of hyaluronic acid, based on calcium hydroxyapatite, and the patient’s adipose tissue. Preparations based on hyaluronic acid are the most popular, have a gel-like structure and rarely lead to allergic consequences. The disadvantage of hyaluronic fillers is the low durability of the result; after 6–18 months, the drug will dissolve, as will the flawless contours of the chin;
• bionon-degradable or permanent fillers - consist of liquid silicone, do not collapse or dissolve. The achieved result lasts much longer. The main disadvantage of such drugs is the high risk of complications, rejection, and the development of an allergic reaction. Biodegradable fillers are used to solve complex defects;
• combined - such fillers contain both degradable (biodegradable) and non-degradable fillers. Approximate composition: hyaluronic acid molecules and biopolymer non-destructible gel. Combination drugs guarantee maximum effect (up to 2-3 years) along with a reduced risk of complications.

Chin fillers can differ not only in composition, but also in density. The viscosity, density, and structure of the filler affect the technique and depth of drug administration.

Attention! The doctor chooses the drug for correction, taking into account the characteristics of the patient’s skin and the degree of the problem. Your task is to inquire about its quality indicators, study real reviews, whether the expiration date has expired.

Rating of the best drugs

There are many fillers for chin plastic surgery, but products from the companies Allergan, Merz, and Q-Med are proven and popular among cosmetologists. Let's take a closer look at them.

Juvederm Voluma. Filler based on stabilized hyaluronic acid from the well-known cosmetology manufacturer Allergan. It has a gel-like dense structure. It is important to inject the drug into the deep dermal layers, so the risk of hematomas and swelling increases. The drug has proven itself well in correcting the chin and cheekbones, the effect lasts up to 2 years. The cost of 2.0 ml of the drug in Moscow will cost around 42 thousand rubles.

Juvederm Ultra 3. Another filler with hyaluronic acid. The drug has a dense structure, therefore it effectively solves problems in the chin area and facial contours, replenishes missing volume, and models contours. The filler must be injected into the middle or deep layers of the skin. The drug is packaged in 1 ml syringes. The durability of the effect is up to 1 year. Price - 17 thousand rubles.

Radiesse. Biodegradable filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite from the German manufacturer Merz. Made in the form of a gel. The presence of the drug in the inner layers of the skin stimulates the work of fibroblasts responsible for the development of connective tissue. Thus, within a few months after the procedure, a natural frame, an implant from one’s own cells, is formed inside the integument.

The biodegradation process of Radiesse takes up to 2 years. Instant and lasting results, minimal risks of side effects and scars after the procedure are the main advantages of the drug. Please note that the activation of natural processes inside the skin sometimes leads to uneven development of connective tissue, resulting in compaction and asymmetry. Price - 33 thousand rubles for 1.5 ml.

Restylane SubQ. High quality filler from Q-Med (Sweden) based on hyaluronic acid. Ultra-dense biogel prevents moisture loss, perfectly models the chin, participates in activating the synthesis of collagen fibers and creating an elastic frame. The effect of the procedure lasts for 6 months. It is possible to re-inject filler into the problem area throughout the year. The cost of Restylane SubQ is 24,200 rubles per 2 ml of composition.

Note that the company also makes Restylane SubQ Lidocaine. It contains lidocaine, which facilitates the corrective procedure. Its cost is slightly higher - 24,490 rubles.

Princess Volume. Hyaluronate filler from the Austrian pharmaceutical concern Croma. The monophasic drug is produced using SMART technology, has a high dynamic viscosity, and does not contain impurities and oxygen molecules. Injected into the deep layers of the skin, it guarantees a stable, high result of bio-reinforcement and lifting of the skin, replenishing the missing volume. The effect of Princess Volume chin surgery pleases patients for 8–12 months. After this, it is recommended to repeat the procedure. Price - 5,100 rubles per 1 ml.

Important point! Fillers from different manufacturers differ in composition, density, and quantity in the syringe. Expect that up to 2 ml of the drug is needed to correct the chin, depending on the degree of the defect and the level of the desired result.

Types of operations ↑

Mentoplasty surgery can effectively and efficiently change the shape of the chin and thereby improve the patient’s appearance.

For correction, different methods and implants are used, which can be divided into several categories:

• Lipofilling – the chin is enlarged using a patient’s fat tissue transplant.
• Biocompatible implants – they are selected individually, depending on the facial structure and health of the patient.
• Liposuction is a procedure used to remove excess fat that forms a double chin.
• Lifting the lower part of the face and neck - corrects the oval of the face with various deformations, displacements and a double chin.

Detailed description of operations depending on the purpose and wishes of the client, as well as the anatomical features of his face:

Chin reduction ↑

Surgical reduction is performed if the patient has a chin that is too large, heavy, or excessively protruding. During plastic surgery, part of the bone is cut or removed; when cut, the lower part is moved back and secured. For such surgery, an incision is made either through the skin or through the oral mucosa. Reduction mentoplasty lasts approximately 2 hours.

The rehabilitation period after reduction lasts about 15 days.

Reduction plastic surgery is the most difficult type of mentoplasty.

Chin augmentation ↑

Enlargement surgery is done when its shape is beveled. The lower bone fragment or implant is brought forward and placed under the periosteum. Implants are available in non-perforated, perforated and silicone types.

Implants are installed through incisions in the oral mucosa. This type of plastic surgery does not leave scars or scars in a visible place.

Augmentation is sometimes combined with a joint lipoplasty operation, when the patient's fat cells are transplanted into places where it is necessary to add the missing volume.

Chin augmentation surgery has a recovery period of approximately three days. During the week, the patient may experience mild pain and swelling.

The price of plastic surgery depends on the implants - with lipofilling it ranges from 20-40 thousand rubles, when using other implants - from 100 or 200 thousand rubles.

Double chin removal ↑

A double chin is formed due to excess fatty tissue and skin in the chin and neck area. It is eliminated using a liposuction procedure, which involves pumping out excess fat, as well as by stretching the excess skin and removing it. This type of plastic surgery makes the skin elastic, restores a beautiful contour and eliminates excess chin. Double chin plastic surgery is the simplest mentoplasty.

Mentoplasty lasts from one and a half to two hours. Recovery after such an operation is very short.

The price of liposuction in Moscow ranges from thirty to seventy thousand rubles.

Patients leave positive reviews about this type of mentoplasty, noting the complete disappearance of the double chin and high firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Preparation for contour plastic surgery

Preparation for correction of the chin area with fillers begins with a visit to an experienced cosmetologist. He establishes the extent of the problem, asks the patient about health problems, the presence of allergic reactions to drugs and the results of previous cosmetic procedures, and also selects a drug for correction. The patient is also asked to undergo general tests and perform a test to identify an allergy to the filler.

A few 3-4 days before the scheduled procedure, the patient must:

• do not take medications that can affect the blood clotting mechanism;
• stop drinking alcoholic beverages;
• To prevent inflammatory processes and herpes rashes, the doctor prescribes antiviral and antimicrobial medications.

It is unacceptable to perform contour plastic surgery on patients in a painful condition, with malaise and fever.

Preparation

To get the desired result from the procedure, regardless of its technique, and to minimize the likelihood of complications, it is necessary to perform several preparatory measures.

First, the patient must be examined by a doctor. He will collect anamnesis, examine the problem area and determine the amount of work required. Next, you will need to undergo laboratory and instrumental examination, which may include:

• general analysis of urine and blood;
• biochemistry;
• clotting test , determination of the group and Rh factor of the blood fluid;
• coagulogram;
• electrocardiogram;
• fluorography.

If necessary, other studies may be prescribed.

If no contraindications were found during the medical examination, the doctor gives certain recommendations for further preparation.

About a week before the expected date of chin augmentation, you will need to quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Also stop taking medications that act to thin the blood.

It is important to maintain water balance. During the day you need to drink about two liters of clean water. The diet should not contain fatty, spicy and salty foods.

Stages of the procedure

Correction of the lower third of the face with fillers takes up to half an hour and is performed exclusively on an outpatient basis, under the guidance of an experienced specialist. There is no need for the patient to stay in the clinic after surgery.

Algorithm for performing the procedure:

1. The skin is thoroughly cleaned, antiseptic treatment is performed, and special markings are made on the face.
2. To reduce pain, anesthetic gel, Anestop cream, Emla, injections of Lidocaine, Ultracaine are used. Some fillers already contain lidocaine, so no additional anesthesia is necessary. Injection anesthesia is considered stronger and is therefore recommended for patients with a low pain threshold.
3. Using a syringe, the drug is injected into the corrected area. The direction and depth of the injection is selected individually by the cosmetologist.
4. Upon completion, the surface is once again treated with an antiseptic solution, a wound healing and regenerating agent.
5. Then the cosmetologist familiarizes the client with the rules for further facial care and sets a date for the next visit. The patient can go home.

When restoring the volume of the chin or increasing it, experienced specialists often use cannulas rather than needles. Cannulas are elastic, soft needles that can bend around an obstacle (vessel, tissue, receptors), so the procedure is less painful and atraumatic. They are considered more effective and contribute to faster recovery after the procedure, compared to traditional needles, but do not forget about the importance of the high skill of the cosmetologist. Cannulas also come in several sizes; they should be selected based on the viscosity of the filler and the area of ​​application. For chin correction, cannulas 22G and below are used, providing deep penetration into the skin, right up to the periosteum.

Methods

Experts identify both surgical and non-surgical methods that can be used to correct the lower third of the face.

Fillers

These are preparations with a gel structure, thanks to the use of which you can give the lower jaw a beautiful shape and improve its appearance. Chin augmentation with fillers involves injecting the product in two ways. With the transdermal technique, injections are performed under the skin layers.

Transoral involves treatment from inside the oral cavity. In this case, punctures are made under the lower lip. This helps prevent redness, swelling and other marks on the surface of the skin. This technique is less popular, since it increases the likelihood of consequences several times.

Chin fillers can be of two types. As a rule, in medical practice, specialists most often give preference to drugs based on calcium hydroxyapatite and hyaluronic acid.

It should be noted that such manipulation does not apply to surgical intervention, so you should not expect drastic changes from it. The main task of the correction is to give the chin the missing volume and form beautiful contours.

Implants

Chin augmentation with an implant is a full-fledged operation that has a number of contraindications. The material in each case is selected individually, taking into account such parameters as the result the client wants to get and the structure of the face.

This method is one of the most popular, since after manipulation there are no visible marks left on the face.

Chin implants can be of two types.

Standard

A distinctive feature is their practicality. In addition, they do not require specific fixation.

Individual

In this case, the material is developed for each patient. Such products are almost never rejected by the human body and take root well.

Genioplasty

This is a chin augmentation surgery in which the surgeon cuts down the chin bone. After this, it is fixed with medical pins, thereby giving it a new shape. This intervention is considered more effective, but requires a long recovery period and strict adherence to all the specialist’s instructions.

Lipolifting

The method is based on the use of the patient’s own adipose tissue, which is taken from areas of large fat accumulation. The method is effective, since the risk of biomaterial rejection is practically reduced to zero. However, you need to remember that over time, some of the fat dissolves, as a result of which repeated correction may be required after a certain time.

Rehabilitation period

Changing the shape of the chin using fillers has a short and easy rehabilitation period. Immediately after the injection of fillers, hematomas, bruises, swelling and edema may appear at the puncture sites. The risk of side effects during menstruation and hormonal changes in the patient’s body increases significantly.

The chin area after correction requires special care. This is necessary to speed up the recovery process and prevent the filler from moving. Please observe the following rules and restrictions:

• Do not touch your face with your hands for at least 8 hours after correction;
• For 2 weeks, forget about foundation, powder and makeup products, in particular, do not apply cosmetics to the chin area;
• sauna, solarium, bathhouse, swimming pool are contraindicated for at least 2 weeks, until the integrity of the skin is completely restored;
• Cosmetic procedures (peelings, massages) are also not allowed. The exception is hardware cosmetology methods prescribed by a doctor for medicinal purposes;
• try to avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen with a high degree of protection before going outside;
• sports and increased physical activity during the rehabilitation period are not recommended. Particles of generated sweat can get into wounds (punctures) and cause an inflammatory process;
• Alcoholic drinks and smoking slow down recovery, so cosmetologists advise avoiding them altogether.

If complications occur or the recovery process is protracted, the doctor may prescribe special wound-healing, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs. Self-medication is not safe!

In Moscow, you can remove a dimple on the chin, change its shape and size at the clinic of Dr. Vasilenko, the Klazko clinic and others.

Rehabilitation ↑

After any mentoplasty, the patient must wear a special fixing bandage that maintains the new shape. The bandage is worn until the operated area is completely healed.

Sometimes chin surgery requires the patient to stay in the medical center for a day while maintaining complete rest. And in some cases, depending on the degree of complexity of mentoplasty, the patient should not move his jaw at all for some time. In such cases, you cannot even chew, for this reason the patient has to eat only liquid food for about two weeks.

The likelihood of hematomas, allergies, and long-term scarring of sutures after plastic surgery is very low. Real clients leaving reviews note that they have not experienced such side effects. Since access to bone tissue was made through the oral cavity or an incision on the surface of the skin in its natural folds, the scars after mentoplasty will be practically invisible.

The recovery period takes place on an outpatient basis; the patient only needs to come to the doctor for dressings.

The first postoperative week is characterized by disturbances and difficulties in chewing, pain and swelling in the patient.

Avoid heavy lifting or exercise for approximately one month. Even after complete healing, vigorous sports such as boxing should be avoided.

After about 3 months, complete rehabilitation occurs and all consequences disappear. By this time, the patient’s appearance has improved significantly and the full result of the operation can already be assessed. Most patients are very satisfied with the results of the operation, as evidenced by positive reviews. Reviews also often note a quick and problem-free rehabilitation period.

Negative consequences

The norm after chin correction with fillers is considered to be small bruises at the puncture sites, slight swelling, as well as small lumps, which decrease after a few days.

Lack of proper experience and professional skills of a cosmetologist, neglect of contraindications threatens the following unpleasant consequences:

• hematomas, subcutaneous hemorrhages caused by puncture of a capillary;
• edema, swelling at the site of filler injection;
• increased sensitivity, even pain in the chin area;
• purulent formations at the puncture sites with further inflammation, as a result of violation of hygiene and sanitation rules, infection of soft tissues during the procedure;
• asymmetry of the chin caused by the proliferation of connective tissue - the reason lies in the incorrectly selected drug, the incompetence of the doctor;
• scarring of tissues, formation of nodes under the skin caused by exceeding the dose of the injected filler;
• vascular embolism;
• allergy to the drug;
• herpes rash.

Complications such as vascular embolism (when part of the filler is injected into a blood vessel) require immediate treatment and are dangerous to the patient’s health.

Important point! Violation of the rules and recommendations for caring for the problem area, massages, and pressure on the chin can cause the filler to dislodge. Therefore, despite the simplicity and ease of the procedure, treat it with particular rigor and seriousness.

How to enlarge without surgery?

There are several techniques to help enlarge your chin without resorting to surgery.

These include:

1. Lipofilling.
2. Botox injection.
3. Use of fillers.

The most effective and safe method is the use of fillers with hyaluronic acid. They allow you to adjust the shape and maintain it in this condition for a long time.

Contraindications

In addition to age restrictions, the use of fillers has the following contraindications:

• drug intolerance;
• mental disorders;
• systemic diseases;
• skin infections;
• dermatitis;
• diabetes;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• acute inflammation in the oropharynx and sinuses;
• connective tissue diseases;
• tendency to Quincke's edema and other allergic reactions;
• blood clotting disorder.

The possibility of carrying out the procedure in other cases, in case of chronic and congenital diseases in the client, is assessed individually by a specialist.

Particular care should be taken when introducing fillers into an area with previously installed implants. If a person has recently visited the dentist or been vaccinated, then you should wait at least two weeks and only then start injections.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of chin augmentation with fillers are:

• quick results;
• long-term effect (the result lasts for 1-2 years);
• easy correction of shape by adding composition;
• high biological compatibility;
• absence of scar;
• the ability to return to its original appearance by introducing enzymes;
• fast recovery.

Among the disadvantages it should be noted:

• the likelihood of growths under the skin from fibrous tissue at the injection site;
• hyperemia and swelling (pass within a few days);
• formation of an asymmetrical area.

Contraindications

The use of fillers to correct defects in appearance is strictly prohibited if:

• complex chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, blood diseases, cancer and immune diseases, epilepsy);
• allergies to drugs used in correction, including painkillers;
• provided that there is an implant or a biodegradable filler in the problem area;
• tendency to form keloid scars.

Temporary contraindications:

• pregnancy;
• breastfeeding period;
• period;
• connective tissue diseases;
• inflammation of the skin (fungal, viral or bacterial diseases does not matter);
• the skin has not yet recovered from peeling, laser resurfacing and other cosmetic procedures that caused a violation of its integrity;
• general malaise, weakness, fever.

Restrictions on chin contouring also apply to patients under 23 years of age.

Alternative to fillers

In addition to fillers, chin asymmetry can be corrected, its shape and size adjusted through surgery. This procedure is called mentoplasty or genioplasty. During the operation, an incision is made into which an implant made of a biodegradable substance is inserted.

This process is complex and responsible. The undoubted advantage of mentoplasty is a confident result over a long period of time; the patient may not have it removed for the rest of his life. The implant is made of silicone, hard porous polyethylene, and does not deform over time.

The cost of the operation will be more expensive (from 120 thousand rubles), plus expect that you will spend some time in the clinic. A long rehabilitation period, a high risk of complications and implant rejection, and the need for general anesthesia are not the entire list of negative aspects of plastic surgery.

Whether to choose fillers or surgery depends on the degree of complexity of the patient’s problem and what effect you expect from the procedure. Which method is advisable to use will be determined only by a cosmetologist.

If the result is not satisfactory

When the client is not satisfied with the result of the correction, the question arises of removing the filler. Many cosmetologists prefer hyaluronic acid fillers.

The process of its biodegradation can be accelerated by introducing special enzymes (hyaluronidase). Their action is aimed at resorption of hyaluronic acid molecules and its rapid removal.

Physiotherapeutic procedures are also effective in eliminating unexpected effects. Thermal influence, ultrasound, microcurrents promote the resorption of the filler. Sunbathing, relaxing on the beach, or applying heat compresses to the problem area can help reduce the amount of filler effectively and economically.

Does chewing gum help you develop a manly jaw?

Chewing gum, or chewing in general, improves your jawline. In the past, people chewed much more than they do now. This contributed to the development of expressive jaws and straight dentition - people's jaws grew to accommodate all their large teeth. Today, crooked teeth, narrow faces and drooping jaws are so commonplace that few people are surprised by them.

Pay attention! When you chew gum, your body thinks you need a longer, wider jaw to improve chewing function. This widens the jaw line and gives a sharp angle to the lower jaw.

If you want to have a “strong” jaw, chew your food well, enrich your diet with raw apples, carrots, bran bread and steak - this is as effective as chewing gum. Proper chewing and swallowing of food means swallowing food from the back of the mouth, without including the cheek muscles. But the right products aren't always nearby, so chewing gum can help train your chewing muscles and develop a defined jawline.

Doctor, I have a wide face shape – what should I do?

For those who need permanent results, plastic surgery comes to the rescue. There is plenty to choose from.

Installation of Medpor chin implants stretches and significantly harmonizes the face. It is believed that all the biggest Hollywood careers begin with chin correction.

The shape of the implant is selected individually to emphasize the feminine, or, conversely, masculine features and character of its owner.

Thus, a strong-willed wide chin gives the face masculinity, while a narrow and elongated chin gives a woman’s face an attractive heart shape.

The second most popular procedure is the removal of Bish's lumps. It turns out that in addition to subcutaneous fat, we also have deep cheek packs of fat, and often it is they that give plumpness to our cheeks.

After the operation, the cheekbones become more pronounced, the cheeks lose excess volume, and the face narrows. The operation is performed intraorally and does not leave scars on the face.

Removing Bish's lumps. Performed by surgeon: Maxim Vasiliev.

Laser liposuction of the face. In this case, the destruction of fat cells is carried out by laser. A cannula with a laser attachment is inserted through punctures in the anatomical folds in the ear area.

After fat removal, the cannula is switched to collagen stimulation mode - this way the skin recovers and tightens faster after the procedure.

The procedure allows you to get rid of fat deposits and narrow your face without scars - two-millimeter punctures heal without a trace.

A Medpor chin implant was installed and Bisha's lumps were partially removed.
