Modern approach to facial rejuvenation has changed dramatically. Previously, in our practice, we took into account the number of small and large wrinkles, then we paid attention to the state of the muscular frame of the face and made an injection program to eliminate these shortcomings. As a result, we got faces without a single wrinkle, but they still looked old. Then we began to fill in the volumes and the faces of our patients began to look better, but not perfect. What else can we use to create a youthful image for our patients? To answer this question, it is worth refreshing our knowledge of physics and understanding what optical effects we can use in our practice, says plastic surgeon Professor Daniel Cassuto.
What do patients want and what are their actual expectations?
One of the main mistakes that patients come to us with is "lifting"; faces. There is a big difference between how a surgeon or cosmetologist imagines a facelift, as well as the expectations of the patient from the procedure, especially when it comes to injection techniques. All patients want to pull the lateral parts of the face up. At the consultation, they stand in front of a mirror, stretch their skin and raise their eyebrows up. Patients see themselves in only one projection in front of the mirror - frontal. They do not think about how they will look in other projections.
What can we offer them to achieve the effect of rejuvenation?
By performing facial correction with hyaluronic acid preparations, we solve several problems at once. On the one hand, thanks to these injections, we change the volume of the face, which gives a good visible result. On the other hand, they have a positive side effect - such an introduction will always heal and moisturize the skin. In our consultations, we have to spend a lot of time explaining the correct choice of the area of correction on the face in order to achieve a natural rejuvenation effect. That is why we decided to explain three optical effects that will help you achieve the best result.
First optical effect - bring back youth to the eyes!
There is a certain distance between the eye and the eyebrow. This distance will increase with age because the muscles of the forehead are compensatory and the eyebrows rise up. At the same time, with age, the volume of tissues between the superciliary arch and the skin decreases. In youth, these parts are more voluminous and the eyebrows were slightly lower, and with age they become empty and the eyebrow rises. There is an optical illusion. It seems to people that when the eyebrow is raised, the volume increases. In fact, increasing the distance only emphasizes the lost volume of this area. This is due to the fact that in the upper lateral part of the orbit, due to bone resorption and a change in its shape, the orbit is shifted and subsided. In order for the shape of the tissues around the eye to be the same as in youth, it is necessary to replenish the volume of this area, and not raise an eyebrow. This approach is the opposite of the patient's expectations, but it is this that gives a feeling of natural youth. Eyebrow post more prominent rather than raised. In this area, it is best to work with Aliaxin FL.
Second optical effect - changing the face oval!
The next concept is to look at the shape of the face. As we age, the shape of our face changes. If you look at young faces, then they have rounded shapes. Faces can be oval, triangular, rounded, but they are all rounded in youth. With age, sharp corners appear in the faces. All these five are associated with the aging of the bones of the skull. Faces become shapeless at first, and then polygonal. Heavy tissues of the face are shifted to the center and there is an imbalance. In the central part of the face there are many volumetric elements, and along the periphery there is a lack of volume and depression. It is these depressive areas that create additional chiaroscuro on the face, which will enhance the nasolabial, nasolacrimal folds and marionette wrinkles. Understanding this, we must use an optical illusion to correct this imbalance. If with the help of fillers we increase the volume of the lateral parts of the face, then the balance will be restored. The negative accent from the central part of the face will be removed and the most striking thing is that after we visually expand the face, our patient will not only look rejuvenated, but the feeling will be that the face has lost weight. This is a subconscious reaction of others to more rounded face shapes that are perceived as younger. This is a new medical approach to the formation of appearance through a deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, psychology and physics.

But if we immediately tell our patient, who already has quite a lot of extra volume, that we recommend increasing the volume of the lateral parts of the face, then we may encounter a negative reaction - "I don't want to look like a ball." But we have to explain all the optical effects. In this area, it is better to work with Aliaxin EV.
Third optical effect - changing the shape of the nose! 
The next area is the nose. All patients know that the nose increases in size with age, but what actually happens? Let's turn to anatomy: with age, the lateral arches of the nasal cartilage move backward due to the reduction and thickening of the nasal bones. To this process, you need to add a decrease in the volume of the upper jaw. The complex of these changes leads to a change in the pear-shaped opening - it becomes wider. As a result, we will get not only a lengthening of the nose, but also an expansion of its base. Indeed, with age, the back of the nose becomes wider. If we compare profile and frontal photos of the same patient, we will see this difference. For a rejuvenating effect, it is necessary to add volume to the back of the nose and with such a correction, the nose will look thinner and shorter, which will lead to a more pronounced rejuvenating effect. Here correction is best done by Aliaxin GP.
- Tips:
- For best results, you should spend 90% of your time on patient consultations and only 10% on the injections themselves.
- Always start with the upper third of the face. This will give the most tangible aesthetic result.
