So called the sagging lower edge of the cheeks - one of the most common cosmetic defects, recalls Wday.ru. Owners of "dog cheeks" are in an eternal search for tools that eliminate this problem. To their joy, today there are a lot of salon procedures and techniques for home use that struggle with the floated contour of the face. However, before solving the problem, you should understand its cause.

How bulldog cheeks come about

The process of the appearance of flaps on the face has long been studied. The main culprits of this misfortune are age, excess weight and heredity. Also, bulldog cheeks can appear due to smoking, long work at the computer and under the influence of the sun.

Age

The main reason for any age-related changes: over the years, the percentage of elastin and collagen fibers in the cells decreases. In women after 30, the subcutaneous fat ceases to be retained on the face, evenly distributed over the soft tissues and sags in ugly folds.

Excess weight

Often you can see bryl in young women who are overweight. Due to the large amount, fatty tissue cannot be held for a long time on the upper part of the face and gradually falls down in unpleasant folds.

Some people have a hereditary predisposition to bulldog cheeks. In this case, they can appear even at a very young age.

Smoking

Another factor in favor of bulldog cheeks is nicotine. It impedes blood circulation, depriving the skin of nutrients and damaging collagen, which is responsible for elasticity.

Computers

London cosmetic surgeon Dr. Michael Prager is sure that people who work a lot at the computer are more likely to suffer from a crawling oval of the face and wrinkles. The same danger awaits lovers of reading while lying down. To avoid this, you should hold the monitor or book so that you do not have to lean down when you read.

Sun

If you like to expose your body to the hot sun, then along with a tan you acquire the opportunity to get early flews and wrinkles. Therefore, do not forget to use funds with SPF at least 30+.

How to deal?

The way to deal with bulldog cheeks directly depends on the reasons for their appearance. In some cases, ordinary cosmetics or even home remedies in combination with sports will help. More difficult situations will require professional help. In especially advanced cases, an attempt to correct the oval of the face on its own runs the risk of not bearing any fruit. If you want to get rid of flews - first consult with a specialist, and only then act.

Irina Vakhitova, dermatovenerologist, cosmetologist at the TORI clinic of aesthetic medicine:

- The appearance of flews cannot be prevented with the help of cosmetics. With the help of cosmetics, we can only increase the turgor of the skin, strengthen and improve its quality. Products with an anti-age effect, which include retinol, vitamin C, peptides, will work well.

In 30 — 35 years, a good prevention of brylya is sculpting the face with preparations based on hyaluronic acid. Such injections are good in that the effect of them lasts from a year to a year and a half. You can also do Skin Tyte infrared lifting procedure several times, which copes with the prolapse of soft tissues and ptosis of the skin with a sharp decrease in weight.

If the patient has a pronounced ptosis, a lot of subcutaneous adipose tissue or there is a large excess of skin, of course, in these cases, we recommend that he consult with a plastic surgeon. With such a clinical picture, cosmetologists, alas, cannot guarantee a 100% result of tightening the oval and getting rid of the wings.
