Plus 10 years: The best plastic surgeries that can make you look older

When you look at the photos of satisfied patients on the websites of plastic surgeons, you inevitably begin to believe in a miracle. Here I cut it, then removed it, and here in reflection you yourself are a 2005 model.

The aim of many aesthetic surgery techniques is to relieve the patient from the visual signs of aging. But sometimes the result of a beauty procedure can be the opposite, and the face will look not younger, but older than its real age.

What procedures should you pay attention to so as not to come off as in the good old saying: “I wanted the best, but it turned out as usual”? Leading plastic surgeon Otari Gogiberidze, founder of the Beauty Time clinic, explains.

Any beauty procedure, be it surgery or injection, cannot give the best effect when used improperly. The main rule and indicator for any improvement in appearance is the common sense of both the doctor and the patient. When these factors are combined, the result will be sufficient. Otherwise, any appearance change can be expected that will not necessarily make the patient beautiful.

What operations and procedures can visually age the face?

too many injections

Injection dermatocosmetology can now do a lot and transform faces without surgical intervention. But it’s easy to get caught up in beauty injections and turn them into an obsessive frenzy. Excessive injections of hyaluronic acid-based fillers give an unpleasant result. Hyaluron attracts water molecules and swelling and swelling may occur in the area where the drug was injected. Very frequent and abundant injections of Botox also do not give the best effect. The face turns into a motionless mask, its owner looks at least strange.

Too early face lift

Although some surgeons claim otherwise, performing a circular or coronary removal at the age of 35-45 is a pointless act. When there is no real indication for this operation, the desire to do a facelift as a preventative can lead to the opposite results. The face will look very narrow, unnaturally smooth, without a single wrinkle. The unique appearance features are lost and the patient looks like a plastic doll without emotions and facial expressions. I immediately want to think that the owner of such an appearance is actually much older, as he needs such an active removal.

Very raised eyebrows

All methods of lifting the upper third of the face (eyebrow lift, temple lift, forehead lift) are aimed at removing large wrinkles in this area and correcting the position of the eyebrows. Usually, with age, the eyebrows go down, making the face gloomy, deep wrinkles between the eyebrows, severe wrinkles appear on the eyebrows. To get rid of all these troubles, the surgeon can go to extremes and raise the eyebrows too high. The result is always eyebrows raised in surprise, their shape is distorted, the eyes and the whole face as a whole look unnatural.

Extreme facial liposuction

Fat deposits on the cheeks and chin cannot be removed by diets or even the most vigorous training regimens. Therefore, women who have lost excess weight often resort to surgical removal of subcutaneous fat from the face to visually thin it. Indeed, liposuction to these areas gives excellent results. But you need to be careful: If you remove too many fat cells, the facial skin will sag greatly. Large wrinkles, unaesthetic folds and wrinkles will appear, and the face will look much older than its age.

Very sunken cheeks

Bish’s bump removal is one of the most popular plastic surgeries. Play in its favor an immediate effect as well as a pleasant price, fast delivery under local anesthesia and a satisfactory easy recovery. The face immediately becomes thinner, cheekbones become prominent, puffy round cheeks disappear. However, with age, early facial wrinkles and excessive retraction of the cheeks can be seen in this area. The face turns from thin to sickly and gaunt and does not decorate its owner at all.
