Let's take a closer look at the methods that are based on tightening the facial muscles.
Methods to tighten facial muscles without surgery
Every operation is a danger and serious stress for the body. Every woman can have surgery. However, surgery is not always required to achieve the desired results in muscle blockage.
Women can fight against time in a more harmless and gentle way. It should be noted that surgery may even be contraindicated in some cases.
You can sort the oval by enlisting the help of beauticians which will save a significant amount of money compared to the operation. Hardware facelift is a fairly common method.
Lifting is one of the most popular hardware method in cosmetology. At the moment there are a number of instructions that help to tighten the face (correct oval, get rid of excess skin). Let's talk about the most famous.
Cryolifting is a method of tightening muscles based on the effects of temperature support. The procedure is performed with special equipment, but the machine nozzle has a temperature of up to -20 ° C. Because the skin is affected by low temperatures, facial inflammation decreases, collagen is formed more quickly and the activity of capillaries is stimulated. Maximum impact is achieved during the course (from six to ten procedures).
Ultrasonic SMAS lifting is a method of tightening muscles that has an obvious effect immediately after the first cycle, is fixed for the next three months and the result lasts for up to five years. By using ultrasonic waves on the muscles and ligaments (deep layers of the skin of the face, neck), the beautician achieves the desired changes. The hardening device works on the principle of ultrasound equipment. In real time, an on-screen specialist monitors how soft tissue changes and which layer affects the device.
RF lifting. The essence of this method of tightening muscles is the effect on the skin of the face with radio waves. During the operation, the epidermis heats up, contracting collagen fibers and muscles. After the fourth round, the changes are obvious: the skin on the face becomes firmer and firmer. Thanks to the accumulated effect after a few months, the result will be even better.
Fracture measurement is a technique for lifting facial muscles by solving a correction. Existing collagen is eliminated by radiation, awakening of the epidermal cells, facial muscles and promoting the production of new collagen in the shortest possible time. Due to this activity of cells, the skin gets a pleasant color, shines and smooths. To be successful, you need at least three actions.
Acupuncture - acupuncture. This method uses special needles, which act on biologically active points located on the person's face. Using this technology requires certain skills. It is necessary to know the location of the relevant points. The contours of the face due to this muscle contraction become clearer due to the activation of muscle fibers.
This method has obvious advantages:
- Security. There are almost no side effects and complications, unlike other methods of tightening muscles.
- Fastest visible result.
- Acupuncture has a positive effect on the body (internal organs, muscles) due to the effect on nerve endings (biologically active points) on the face.
- The method promotes relaxation and has an anti-stress effect.
- You can combine acupuncture with other cosmetics. With an integrated approach, longer results are achieved.

Surgery to tighten facial muscles
Rhytidectomy (circular lifting) is an operation to tighten the muscles in the face, but the task is to eliminate fat, deposits, excess tissue, as well as to remove deep wrinkles (from the face and neck), double chin and nasolabial folds. The result is a noticeable renewal.
It can be deep, shallow and mixed.
Surface cleaning consists of three stages:
- An incision is made from the hairline in the temple area and follows down the visible border of the auricle, then under the lobe and returns to the border of the hair behind the ear. If it is necessary to remove another chin, another incision is made: on the lower jaw from the inside near the chin.
- Furthermore, the skin is separated from the underlying tissue. Remove excess muscle and, if necessary, fat cells.
- The final step is to tighten the skin. The edges are in line, seams are put on.
Deep circular lifting (SMAS lifting) is a method of eliminating wrinkles with facial line correction. During the operation, the tendons and muscle-fascial complexes are moved at the same time as the surface cleansing. The result has a long-term effect, but at the same time the recovery time is longer.
Combined rhytidectomy. With this method, a correction is made due to tissue tension in different directions. Removal of excess tissue near the outer border of the muscle masseter is added to the superficial and deep circular lift.
The operation can take anywhere from two to six hours. It all depends on the type of procedure, the level of complexity and the desired results. The recovery period usually takes about three weeks and involves eliminating physical exertion. It is forbidden to lift weights, make inclines. Sleep is required on the back. It is necessary to limit exposure to the sun, heat (do not take a bath, do not go to saunas and baths for about three months).
The result is reached after 3 months and lasts for 5-10 years.
SMAS plastic (space lift) is an updated technology for correcting oval and lightening the face by eliminating wrinkles at the same time. With this lift, the muscle tissue is transferred. Unlike circular, which only affects the upper layers of the skin, here they affect the deep layers and structures (muscles). After SMAS plastic surgery and recovery period, the face gets a natural look, the skin is not stretched, the shape of the eyes and the mouth line does not change.
The procedure is similar to a circular lift. The only difference is that the doctor, after the incision is made, inserts the fibromuscular layer under the skin, removes excess adipose tissue and then forms an oval face and stitches. At the same time, the skin does not stretch.
After 10-12 days, the loops can be removed. The result will be visible after two months and the effect will last at least 12, or even 15 years.
S-lift. This method is suitable for people who have not yet experienced serious age-related changes (muscle deformity) or other surgery. It is called a short-cicatricial or short-flap lift.
It contains methods for SMAS lifting. It affects both the top layer of the skin and the deep tissue structure. The face lifts, rejuvenates, looks natural and is not as stiff as a mask.
This method is the least traumatic. Small seams left. They are located behind the ear and are not visible to strangers. The method aims to achieve an even outline of the lower jaw and correct this part of the face.
Stage of the action:
- In women, an incision is made behind the ear, in men in front.
- In the necessary position, the surgeon attaches the soft tissue and then sutures the cheekbones to the tissue.
- Skin flaps are cut out, SMAS lifting is done, inner seams are applied.
Advantages of S-lifts:
- A neat little cut that is almost invisible after the seams have been removed.
- Due to the chosen method of excision of excess tissue, the risk of damage to the facial nerve is minimized.
- Short operation, use of mild anesthesia.
- Low risk of complications.
- Low cost.
- Fast recovery period.
Disadvantages of S-lifts:
- If deep surface wrinkles are present, it may not be effective.
- Painful sensation when chewing is likely due to the inner seams located on the cheekbones.
Check-lifting is a type of surgery that allows you to get rid of age-related changes in the middle of the third of the face (bags under the eyes, deep nostrils, sagging cheeks). Beauticians recommend performing this treatment in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
With this method, wrinkles and sagging skin can be eliminated. Inflammation disappears from the face.
With this method, incisions are made on the skin of the eyelids. It is often chosen instead of rhytidectomy. The recovery period is from two weeks. The effect will last for 5-7 years.
Pros: the duration of the operation is 40-90 minutes, facial expressions and facial expressions are preserved, minimal pain syndrome during the recovery period.
Disadvantages: rare, but complications can still occur.
MAX lifts are a kind of S-lifts. The main difference is that short cuts are made during the operation. Like S-lifting, the method is based on excision beyond the skin and lifting deep facial layers.
Advantages of the method:
- Minimum risk factor for high performance.
- Effective removal of sagging skin in the middle and lower part of the face, smoothing of the nasolabial folds, correction of the oval (corner) between the neck and chin.
- Short rehabilitation time.
- The stitching method lifts the eyes to the cheekbones that open the eyes visually.
- Facial abnormalities are not disturbed and the person looks normal.
The disadvantages include possible complications due to surgery: bruising, inflammation, blood cells, edema.
Injection technology to tighten facial muscles
A great option that can replace surgery. As a result of this method, the effect is achieved as quickly as possible without sacrificing durability. There is no recovery time, no strict restrictions. The price is comparable to the cost of the hardware course.
3D thread - the method is based on creating a subcutaneous layer of very thin threads. The material from which the latter is made dissolves over time. With this method, deep wrinkles are removed, the skin is smooth, the oval face is hardened. The whole procedure takes half an hour or an hour and is performed under local anesthesia. The result will last for up to two years.
Outline plastic is the fact that a special substance is injected under the skin - hyaluronic acid. It does not cause rejection and allergic reactions. The material fills the places where deep wrinkles have formed and helps to form the desired facial line.
For injection, local anesthesia (spray or gel) is sufficient. The procedure causes almost no pain. The effect lasts from 12 to 20 months.
Volumetric model (soft-lift) is a method similar to outline lists with Swedish technology. The difference is that the syringes of the medicine are made deeper. In the process, empty wrinkles are filled, you can return the relief and even change the shape of the chin, cheekbones and correct asymmetry. The result is often compared to plastic surgery. The effect lasts for one year.
Biorevitalization - the same injections of hyaluronic acid, but low molecular weight. Gives the skin a moisturizing and rejuvenating effect, gives a healthy look. It is widely used between the ages of 25 and 35, when there are still no serious age-related changes, but the first signs of aging are already noticeable. The acid lasts for about 12 months.
Biological reinforcement. This method uses gel-like consistency of hyaluronic acid. When injected under the skin, the substance spreads and forms an additional frame that forms the necessary oval face. It is recommended to use this method for people aged 40-45 years. The result lasts for one year.
Plasmolifting, PRP method - the name is derived from the technique of the procedure. When the patient's plasma is injected under the skin, which is enriched with platelets, there is a regeneration. In the cells of the epidermis, the metabolic process accelerates and the oxygen production of the skin begins. Cells regenerate spontaneously. The skin gets a natural tone, wrinkles and folds are smoothed. This method has been offered since the age of 25 to prevent aging. After 35 years, it is most effective to perform these actions together with other courses, then the result will be as stable and noticeable as possible.
Mesotherapy is an introduction to meso cocktails under the skin. This is a biological combination specially selected for the patient (hyaluronic acid, vitamins, etc. ), which is formed according to the existing problem. It is performed in 3-4 methods to achieve successful muscle movement. It is recommended to do so when the first signs of skin aging appear and in the presence of problems (age spots, acne, etc. ).
