3 trends in aesthetic medicine to stay away from

For both protocols, the outcome of which always depends on the preparation and experience of the doctor, there are risks. “From infections in the oral cavity to bruises and swelling of the face, up to the most demanding such as chewing problems, damage to the salivary glands and facial nerves, with possible asymmetry of the face and loss of sensitivity of the whole area”.

The alternatives to removal

«These methods actually affect the adipose tissue of the face which, with age, is destined to become impoverished. In parallel, with the passing of the years, the structure of the bones, including that of the skull, also decreases. The consequences are a face that gradually empties, losing the volumes and structure typical of youth. So, why take away portions of muscle and fat? Let’s not forget that those who turn to aesthetic medicine try to recover that lost softness “, warns Raffaella Casilli, aesthetic doctor and teacher of the Fatebenefratelli School of Aesthetic Medicine in Rome. «A possible alternative is the strategic injections of hyaluronic acid on the lateral part of the cheekbone and in front of the ear. With this procedure, the substance is not used as a filler but as a neuro-modulator, and creates the effect of giving the oval an upward momentum that spins. It should be emphasized that anatomical knowledge is essential for this type of intervention to produce the desired result “.

Help also comes from makeup. To optically create a slight hollowing out of the features, the make-up that uses lights and shadows comes in handy. “We need a contouring palette or two bronzers: one with a light shade, to be blended with a soft brush in the area under the eyes, and the other dark one to be applied under the cheekbone. It ends with a pass of transparent powder all over the face to even out, “he explains Giada Venturotti, make-up artist trainer of the QStudio Makeup-RP Academy. The blush is also decisive. «To thin it should be positioned right on the cheeks by moving the brush outwards and slightly diagonally».

Eyes in focus: foxy eyes And hunter eyes

Bewitching and seductive, elongated eyes are a real obsession. «They are the fashion of the moment that horrifies oriental peoples who, on the contrary, make them work to make them have a rounded, Western-style shape. There are numerous divas (and stars) who ask to change its shape making it almond-shaped, with the tail up “, explains Nadia Fraone,

The question of whether a scalpel or surgery is better soft is debated. “Surgery is not necessary: ​​the same effect can be obtained with absorbable threads that raise the corner of the eye, hooking it to the upper part of the periorbital arch. Another trick, the prerogative of the beautician and professional make-up artists, consists in shaving the final part of the eyebrow, replacing it with a tattoo “, he says. Nadia Fraone.

But threads aren’t for everyone. “They can have a meaning when they are inserted into a tissue rich in fat because they are able to create a traction. Remember, however, that the area next to the eye is rather low in fat cells. In these cases, for a harmonious result it is advisable to resort to a scalpel with the lifting of the eyebrow », underlines Raffaella Casilli.

Influencer lips

French lips, Russian lips, Brats lips, Dolls lips… are the numerous ways to define the trend of extra-size lips that are popular on social media. «They are an absolute mustwith an unstoppable demand. The recommendation is to reflect on your lifestyle: if the volumetric increase is disproportionate to the harmony of the face it may have a professional motivation for one celebrityfor an ordinary person, who carries out an activity away from the spotlight, it may not be an adequate choice, ”he says Nadia Fraone.

In short, for those who are not a star or an influencer, they can resort tooverlined lipsthe technique so loved by JLo that enlarges the smile, to be achieved by drawing a line that comes out from the edge of the labial mucosa before applying the lipstick and gloss for a crystalline shine.
