Bulldog cheeks or wings: why appear how to get rid of at home
Brylya are called drooping folds from the lower jaw of the lips in dogs. Beauticians endowed this word with a completely different meaning, gently calling it bulldog cheeks.
This is the name for the sagging lower edge of the cheeks – one of the most common cosmetic defects. Owners of “dog cheeks” are in an eternal search for remedies to eliminate this problem. To their delight, today there are a lot of salon procedures and techniques for home use that struggle with the floating 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, subcutaneous fat does not hold on to the face, evenly distributed over soft tissues, and sags with 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 damages 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 creeping facial contours and wrinkles. The same danger awaits those who like to read lying down. To avoid, you should hold the monitor or book so that you do not have to tilt down when you read.
Sun
If you like to expose your body to the hot sun, along with a tan you get the opportunity to get early bryl and wrinkles. Therefore, do not forget to use funds with SPF minimum 30 +.
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. Others will require professional help. In especially advanced cases, however, 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 experts, and only then declare war on them.

– 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.
At the age of 30-35, good prevention of flea is the sculpting of the face with preparations based on hyaluronic acid. Such injections are good because the effect of them lasts from a year to a year and a half.

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.
