The editor of one of the sections of the Woman’s Day portal tried a procedure on herself that could be done during the holidays.
Hello, my name is Natasha, I am 37 years old. No, I’m not an alcoholic. I am an honorary owner of heavy, loose skin and active facial muscles. The second leads to the appearance of early mimic wrinkles, the first leads to a sagging oval. Cosmetology has long learned to cope with mimic wrinkles perfectly well. A couple of dozen units of Botox – and the forehead looks decent again, and the crow’s feet are straightened for at least six months. But from the floating oval, there was only one “cure” – a circular tightening. But who wants to go under the knife? Fortunately, this is not needed now.
“Anisa, – I tragically announced from the doorway, having come to the beautician for the next session of botulinum therapy, – I brought you my old age.”
“No sweets to bring,” Anisa answered melancholy. – Bring your old age to the office.
“Just look at these flews,” I continued no less tragically.
Anisa looked. “Well, yes, there is a little. Let’s fix it, do you want? ” – offered my fairy syringe and peeling.
“Right now?” – I was amazed.
“Well, yes, why wait. There is no need for preparation, rehabilitation is 4–5 days, there will be just enough time, ”the fairy answered calmly.
Above – photo before. Below – just after.
To pull up the flews, which spoiled my mood every morning for the last six months, exactly, was supposed to be Korean threads. One on each side is quite enough, the effect is visible immediately. Sounds great. But it’s scary. After all, the threads are inserted under the skin using special needles that look really frightening: thick, two millimeters in diameter. The thread is hidden inside them.
“Under anesthesia, don’t worry,” Dr. Burnasheva reassured me.
Injections to the face – of course, also nothing pleasant. But bearable, not more painful than Botox. Ten minutes of casual chatter – the freeze worked.
“Well, let’s start,” – Anisa unpacks the needle, I close my eyes.
I was afraid in vain. It didn’t hurt a bit. But just in case, I did not open my eyes and did not move.
“Sutures made from ordinary suture material. See, there are notches on them. These notches grab the tissues from the inside, and we take them … and we tighten them like that. Ready!” – Announced Anisa after some five minutes and handed me a mirror.
The effect was really amazing. Firstly, no traces of extraneous influence on the face were visible. Except for the patch I peeled off the next morning. But until then, he was covered with hair – the puncture sites were located closer to the ears. No bruising, no swelling – nothing at all. But my lower jaw acquired such a clarity that it had never been in my life: at first I was plump, and then immediately old.
“Wow, just like my father’s,” my mother was surprised when she saw the photo. My father’s features really erupted in my face, defeating my mother’s predisposition to sagging skin. And my dad, by the way, was a real handsome man.
Two weeks later, the last sensations that something was done to my face disappeared: at first it was felt that there were some swellings under the skin. However, only I felt them.
“The procedure should be repeated once a year or two, depending on individual characteristics. Here’s another good thing: the skin grows with collagen one and a half centimeters to each side of the thread. And the skin tightens over time, ”explained Anisa.
After the procedure, there are some restrictions, quite standard, however: do not heat, that is, do not sunbathe and do not go to the baths / saunas, no sports and alcohol for at least four to five days. But it is better to be patient for two weeks. Then you can return to the previous rhythm of life. The cost of the procedure depends on the pricing policy of your beautician. It cost me five thousand rubles.
“Now is the perfect time for thread lifting. It’s dark, cold, holidays, again, ”Anisa thinks. And I absolutely agree with her. During the holidays, my doctor and I will see each other again: a friend was so impressed with my results that she asked me to hold her hand while the threads were being placed on her.
