Modern approaches to the correction of the lower third of the face

The timing of the first appearance of age-related changes depends largely on genetic predisposition, lifestyle, quality of care and skin condition. Modern approaches to correcting the lower third of the face and drooping (ptosis) of the face oval are fundamentally different from what aesthetic medicine offered ten or fifteen years ago.

Today, cosmetology, as a science, is developing very dynamically: its capabilities are expanding, approaches to aesthetic correction are changing. Considering aging not only as a change in skin tone and relief, but as a loss and distribution of volumes, cosmetology supplements its strategy with 3D modeling.

Volumemetric face correction involves moving and filling volumes of soft tissues of the face by analogy with plastic surgery, while reduction (cutting out excess) of tissues is replaced by their movement. Moreover, volumizing methods of work are already encroaching on the aesthetic correction of age-related dystrophic changes in the bone skeleton.

At the moment, the possibilities of modern aesthetic medicine are so significant that radical methods of correcting the lower third of the face, such as plastic surgery, can be avoided or significantly delayed.

Launch of a new preparation for the correction of the lower third of the face

MS: Juvederm® VOLUX of the company "Allergan" appeared quite recently and opens up many opportunities for cosmetologists. At the moment, it is definitely the drug of choice for the correction of the lower third, since it fully satisfies the needs of the doctor when working in this area.

Features of the technique of work in the correction of the lower third of the face

MS: This is a rather difficult question, because at congresses for aesthetic medicine specialists around the world, from the USA to Japan, we see completely different approaches to working in the lower third of the face.

A lot of cannula techniques are used. I do not fully agree with this concept, because, given the density of drugs to work in this area, the need for accurate projection, its placement should be deep enough, on bone structures.

The priority for lower third correction is bolus delivery, method of administration – needle, insertion level - supraperiosteal, so that the doctor can create a proper projection, but at the same time not weigh down the tissues.

VYCROSS technology achieves these results, as Juvederm® VOLUX causes minimal puffiness.

When correcting the lower third, Juvederm® VOLUX works best with Juvederm® VOLUME.

Possible complications in the correction of the lower third of the face

M.S.: From the point of view of complications, more precisely, undesirable effects that are transient, that is, they definitely pass, we can distinguish: swelling, pain when chewing and talking, impaired facial expressions, possibly temporary difficulty in articulation due to the fact that the muscular frame of the lower third of the face undergoes changes.

When correcting the lower third of the face with Juvederm® VOLUX, the doctor creates additional support for the structures of this zone, but it is also important to consider that the tone of these muscles is high enough, so similar effects can occur.

Possible pain in the temple area should be noted. This is due to the fact that when we work with the angles of the lower jaw during correction, we influence the work of the greater masseter muscle, which is connected to the temporal muscle through the mandibular joint.

Therefore, after the correction of the lower third of the face, during chewing, discomfort in the temples is possible. This condition is physiologically determined and passes with time.

Most often, the duration of such post-procedure effects is observed within 2-3 days, but it is important to note that any discomfort after the correction within 2 weeks is normal and does not fall into the category of complications.

These effects are dose-dependent: the more drug is injected into a certain area, the more the risk of unwanted effects increases.

Therefore, when working in the area of the lower third of the face, inject Juvederm® VOLUX Allergan needs gradually and the most important rule – no more than 2 ml in the correction zone. This manipulation will be very traumatic for the patient.

Gender differences in the correction of the lower third of the face

M.S.: When correcting the lower third of the face in men, the technique is simpler: we create the so-called box-face, which allows us to recreate the masculinization of the face during work, which includes: pronounced lower jaw angles, wide and massive chin.

When correcting the lower third in women, it is important to follow the rule: the width of the chin should correspond to the width of the wings of the nose.

For girls, the chin also sharpens facial features more gently and delicately. In men, in order to make the lower third of the face more strong-willed, courageous, the width of the chin should be equal to the width of the corners of the mouth.
