Every woman wants to keep her youth and beauty as long as possible. In the struggle for this, many decide on the most serious step, that is, on a surgical operation. Some try to restrain age-related manifestations using alternative means - massages, grandmother's methods and special cosmetics. Thanks to the achievements of modern cosmetology, it has become much more affordable to slow down the aging process. Many salons offer a huge range of cosmetic procedures. Thanks to them, improving the condition of the face becomes simple and painless. Such methods can eliminate wrinkles, and also improve skin tone.
Operation alternative
What is a facelift without surgery? This procedure is a complete alternative to plastic surgery to eliminate age-related changes in facial skin. Non-surgical facelift can be performed in several ways. We will consider them further.
Thread pull
Thread facelift is the most popular way to perform this procedure. This method is popular with women aged forty to seventy years and allows them to be younger at least ten to fifteen years.
Using special threads fixed in strictly defined areas of the face, the signs of aging and sagging are smoothed out, in addition, excess body fat is removed. Threads for suspenders are made using a unique technology using special materials. And they are installed in the soft layers of the skin at a special angle. This design groups the tissues and raises them to the desired level, keeping them in this position for a long time.
A facelift with threads takes no more than half an hour. After the procedure, a long rehabilitation of the patient is not required, a slight reddening of the skin will be observed only for a couple of days.
The undoubted advantages of this type of braces are high efficiency, the absence of traces after surgery, as well as long-term preservation of the result (up to 2 years). Of the shortcomings, one can note only the high cost of the procedure (up to 40 thousand rubles) and small painful sensations during the execution. A contraindication to this operation is the individual intolerance of the components of which the threads are made, as well as excessively thin skin with a high content of subcutaneous adipose tissue.
Circular pull
Circular facelift - improving the oval by correcting soft tissues. This species is the most laborious. Therefore, its conduct should be entrusted only to a highly qualified surgeon with experience in performing such procedures. However, the effectiveness of a circular facelift is one of the highest. Therefore, many still decide on it, despite the complexity of the operation.
How the incisions will be placed and how the operation will be performed depends on the surgeon and the patient. The most common place of execution is the temporal part of the face, turning into natural folds in front of the ear and ending behind the ears. Thanks to this arrangement of seams, the scars will be invisible. After performing the incisions, the surgeon delaminates the skin and muscles and removes excess subcutaneous fat relationships. The final stage is the plastic improvement of the shape of muscle tissue and the removal of excess skin.
Endoscopic lift
An endoscopic facelift, the reviews of which are different, resembles a circular one in some way. The technique of its implementation also requires the production of inconspicuous cuts. But the main difference is that in the case of an endoscopic lift, the incisions are made not in the temples, but in the scalp. Carrying out this operation requires a special endoscopic apparatus. General anesthesia or a special type of anesthetic called endotracheal anesthesia is used as an anesthetic. The operation takes a lot of time - about 3 hours.
After its implementation, the patient is recommended to be in the hospital for several more days. Such measures are necessary to prevent the development of various kinds of complications and in order to exclude the influence of any side factors on the site of the operation.
What to expect after an endoscopic lift?

- elimination of vertical wrinkles on the cheeks;

Ultrasonic lift
Ultrasonic face oval lift is a procedure to improve the facial contour and eliminate age-related skin changes. It is performed using high-precision and ultrasound directed into the deep layers of the skin. It is the muscle-aponeurotic system that is affected, which is responsible for the youth and elasticity of the skin. Before the procedure is carried out directly, the master conducts a special massage for lifting the face contour, performed strictly according to certain lines, which are subject to further ultrasonic treatment. Such measures are designed to prevent various kinds of damage during the procedure and the consequences after it in the form of puffiness of individual sections.

As an alternative, some prefer various exercises for lifting the oval of the face, as well as masks using a variety of cosmetics and even grandma's methods to achieve the desired effect. Consider some alternative methods.
Exercises
Exercises can begin to be performed as soon as a woman reaches the age of 35 years. This method is quite effective, but no less laborious. It is necessary to perform a daily set of five exercises. The process will take about 15 minutes. The exercises are as follows:
- Pronunciation of vowels a-o-o-o-e-s. When performing, you need to ensure that tension is felt in the muscles of the face and neck. When pronouncing vowels alternately, you need to simultaneously pull the upper lip to the lower teeth in order to straighten the longitudinal wrinkles.
- An exercise such as the extension of the lower jaw forward is aimed at correcting the second chin. In this case, the tongue should be motionless, and the mouth should be slightly ajar. The movement of the lower jaw back and forth should be performed approximately once per second. For convenience, you can put a ticking clock nearby.
- Any woman who has used lipstick at least once in her life can perform a very simple exercise. First you need to draw your lips into your mouth, then sharply open your mouth to make a sound like a click. When performing this exercise, points for tightening the oval of the face and mainly the peri-dental area are affected.
- Mouthwash exercise. Gather air in your mouth and roll it from one cheek to another.
- Eye exercise. Alternately, you must do the following: open your eyes wide, without raising your eyebrows, then close by relaxing your muscles.
The listed exercises should be carried out one after another within fifteen minutes. The first results can be seen after 3 months from the start of execution. In order to maintain the effect, it is necessary to periodically repeat the course of exercises - about one week per month of daily performance will be enough.
Masks for face lift
Women can make money on their own, or they can go to the salon to provide professional procedures. We offer the three most effective face-lift masks: milk, honey, protein:
- To prepare milk, you need to mix one tbsp. l wheat flour with 1 egg yolk. Apply the resulting composition to the skin of the face and hold for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water with the addition of a small amount of lemon juice and pat dry with a towel.
- As a means for lifting the oval of the face, a honey mask can be used. For cooking, you need 1 tbsp. l dark flower honey, 0.5 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 egg yolk, half a teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 tsp. oat flour. All ingredients are mixed and applied to the skin. After twenty minutes, the mask can be washed off with warm water.
- Protein mask. Since egg white is found in many professional means for lifting the oval of the face, it is easy to guess that using it in its pure form as a mask will give no worse results. It is enough to simply separate the protein from the yolk and apply it to the face. For convenience, the protein can be slightly beaten. Keep the mask for at least fifteen minutes, and rinse off the composition preferably with warm water with the addition of a few drops of lemon juice.
Advice
Before applying any of these masks, you must first cleanse the skin. And after washing off the product, it is advisable to apply a cream suitable for a specific skin type.
Of course, you should not expect an instant effect from the use of masks, however, prolonged and regular use of such products can improve the skin, make it more youthful and toned. Masks and creams for lifting the oval of the face are a worthy alternative to plastic surgery and expensive salon procedures.
