The lower third of the face is the area by which we largely assume and determine a person’s age. Alas, over time, the tissues in this area lose their elasticity, age-related changes begin - unsightly jowls and a double chin form. You can get rid of these shortcomings without resorting to surgery - using modern hardware and injection methods. At the BL clinic, correction of the lower third of the face is carried out using special expert-class equipment and using the highest quality materials.
Indications for correction
As a rule, patients turn to our cosmetologists for help with the following complaints:
- “folds of sadness” in the corners of the mouth
- nasolabial folds,
- shaved,
- flat or small chin.
For the most part, these are all natural age-related changes. By eliminating them, you can make your face significantly younger. Correction of the lower third of the face helps restore its beautiful contour.
Endoscopic lift
The endoscopic facelift technique is as follows: the main incision is made under the chin (the length of the incision is no more than 3 cm), additional ones are made behind the ears at the edge of hair growth. The work of a plastic surgeon is carried out in the subcutaneous layers, the operation is monitored using a video camera built into the endoscope.
Often, to achieve maximum results, a facelift is combined with liposuction of the submandibular areas, neck and décolleté lift.
The undeniable advantages of endoscopic lifting are the following: little blood loss, no visible scars and quick recovery. Thanks to this lifting technique, the face remains natural, natural, without the effect of a mask. When plastic surgery is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the risk of complications is minimal.
Methods we use
Profile
A modern preparation for biomodeling. Allows you to effectively deal with wrinkles and folds, replenishing the missing volume. The basis of the drug is hyaluronic acid with low and high molecular weight - this combination provides a prolonged result.
Correction of the lower third of the face with fillers is especially effective when it comes to young patients - 35-40 years old. At an older age, more pronounced results are shown by hardware techniques, contour plastic surgery and thread lifting.
Laser rejuvenation
The laser allows you to quickly and effectively get rid of the keratinized top layer of skin, restore normal tissue respiration, stimulate the renewal process - your own collagen and elastin begin to be produced more actively. After the procedure, soft tissues acquire density, beautiful youthful volume, and a lifting effect is present.
Fractional thermolysis
The essence of the method is the effect of laser beams on the skin, which create microtraumas in the skin tissues. Untouched areas begin to intensively produce collagen and elastin in order to “patch” the damage. The result is that the skin is noticeably tightened due to the reduction of the skin flap, becoming denser and more elastic.
Aikun laser
This is a complex technique - the patient’s skin is exposed to laser radiation, and its effectiveness is increased by lymphatic drainage massage. The approach is effective because it makes it possible to get rid of swelling, lymph stagnation, and significantly improves the contour of the treated area.
Threadlifting
Thread lift is a wonderful alternative to plastic surgery. This is a minimally invasive method that shows high efficiency. Mesothreads are inserted under the skin through small punctures, which lift and subsequently hold the tissues at the desired level, preventing them from “sliding” down as a result of ptosis.
Contour plastic surgery of the lower third of the face (injection of fillers, installation of threads) helps restore and preserve lost tissue volumes, making the skin denser and more well-groomed in appearance.

SMAS-lifting
Modern facelift methods allow the doctor to work in different planes, not only with the skin, but also with deeper soft tissues. The so-called SMAS lift is a lifting that affects not only the skin, but also the subcutaneous, so-called superficial muscular aponeurotic (SMAS) layer. This “deep lift” ensures a complete return of the tissues to the natural position characteristic of a young face and gives the most lasting effect.
SMAS lifting is often used in cases where it is necessary to cope with severe ptosis (drooping) of tissues. As a rule, SMAS lift is recommended for patients over 45 years of age who experience significant age-related changes.
SMAS lifting is a fairly serious operation that is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from 2 to 4 hours. The incision is made in the natural crease behind the ear, making it virtually invisible. After the operation, the patient spends 2-3 days in the hospital, and post-operative recovery takes approximately 2-3 weeks.
Gradually the patient's appearance improves. The final result of the operation is achieved after 2-3 months and lasts for many years.
Contraindications to contour plastic surgery
Despite the fact that injection correction is considered a minimally invasive procedure, in some cases it is contraindicated. Contouring of the cheekbones and lower jaw is not recommended for patients with the following pathologies:
- diseases of the endocrine system (diabetes mellitus type I and II, pathologies of the thyroid gland);
- malignant neoplasms;
- diseases of the circulatory system;
- chronic somatic diseases in the acute stage;
- viral diseases;
- predisposition to allergic reactions to filler components.
Filler injections are not performed for women during menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as for minor patients.
Correction of the lower third of the face
For the procedure, insulin syringes with a volume of 1-2 ml are prepared without a removable needle, the length of which can be from 6 to 13 mm, and the thickness is G30 or G32. Preparation of the skin surface consists of thoroughly wiping the surface with an antiseptic (0.25-0.5% solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate) and applying an anesthetic gel based on lidocaine. All manipulations are performed in the treatment room in compliance with aseptic and antiseptic measures.
Correction of wrinkles in the area of the wings of the nose
The main structure of this area is the nasal muscle, into which, in fact, the drug is injected. The function of this muscle is to narrow the nostrils, as well as wrinkle the skin lateral to them. Therefore, reducing the activity of this structure makes it possible to reduce vertical wrinkles around the nose and somewhat reduce the severity of the upper nasolabial fold.
Correction of wrinkles in the upper lip area
Vertical wrinkles, located in the area between the border of the upper lip and the nose, are formed due to the activity of the fibers of the orbicularis oris muscle; its functions include pulling the lips forward and narrowing the oral fissure. Its superficial location makes it relatively easily accessible for botulinum therapy. Injections are made either directly into the area of wrinkles, or at the border of the red border and skin.
Correction of drooping corners of the mouth
With age, there is some drooping of the corners of the mouth, which gives the face a sad and senile expression. This is due to a decrease in the elastic properties of the fabric. The defect can be corrected by reducing the activity of the depressor anguli oris muscle. This structure starts from the anterior surface of the lower jaw and is woven into the orbicularis muscle at the corners of the mouth. She pulls the corners of her mouth down and somewhat outward. Injection of botulinum toxin into its fibers leads to a relative increase in its antagonists, which slightly raises the corners of the mouth.
Correction of a gummy smile
A gummy smile is diagnosed when smiling exposes more than 2 mm of the gum surface of the upper jaw. From a medical point of view, this is not a violation, but it can be an aesthetic problem for a person, especially in the case of problem gums. Reducing the width of the smile is achieved by injections of botulinum toxin into the terminal areas of the fibers of the muscle that lifts the upper lip. This structure starts from the infraorbital region and ends in the nasolabial fold area, where the drug is administered. It is important to correctly calculate the dosage of the drug during such a correction - its excess can lead to drooping of the corners of the mouth and impaired articulation. In addition to eliminating a gummy smile, this procedure also reduces the severity of the nasolabial fold.
Correction of wrinkles in the chin area
Wrinkling of the skin under the lower lip is the result of activity of the mentalis muscle, which also lowers the lower lip and pulls it forward. The administration of a drug based on botulinum toxin effectively reduces the severity of facial wrinkles in the chin and lower lip.

Contour plastic surgery of cheekbones: procedure progress
Preparations for injection correction of cheekbones must have a high density. They contain hyaluronic acid, which has the property of attracting liquid molecules, which creates volume in the affected area: cheeks, cheekbones, etc.
Before performing the procedure, the cosmetologist uses a marker to outline the shape of future cheekbones on the patient’s face. Then an anesthetic cream is applied to this area, which should remain on the skin for 20 to 30 minutes. After anesthesia, the doctor injects the filler to the desired depth with a special syringe.
To distribute the gel evenly and prevent the formation of lumps, the injection area is thoroughly kneaded with your fingers. This way a natural and symmetrical effect is achieved.
The result of the procedure can be assessed within a week, after the injection marks have disappeared and the traumatic swelling has subsided. If necessary, repeated contouring of the cheeks or cheekbones is possible.

Frequently asked questions about contouring
Despite the safety of hyaluronic acid, injections of fillers based on it during pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindicated due to tissue trauma.
These procedures can complement each other. However, it should be taken into account that hyaluronic acid fillers used for different areas may differ in density.
Today, there are hundreds of clinics in the capital that offer cheekbone contouring. The price of the procedure depends, first of all, on the characteristics of the injectable filler.
Both of these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. With injections you can achieve a temporary result, and with the installation of implants you can achieve a permanent result. But surgical intervention involves more serious costs and requires quite a long rehabilitation. After contour plastic surgery, the patient recovers in a matter of days, it costs significantly less, and in addition, the list of restrictions for its implementation is minimal. Therefore, the choice of method for correcting the cheekbones falls entirely on the shoulders of the patient.
