Vyacheslav An: Aesthetic Surgery

Today the beauty industry is experiencing a real boom. Every day there are new services and offers to prolong the youth of beautiful girls. But there are situations when, unfortunately, preventive technologies such as injectables or apparatus procedures can no longer solve problems. This applies most often to more profound age-related changes.

For these clients, aesthetic medicine clinics offer a range of surgical rejuvenation procedures. That's what we want to discuss today with Vyacheslav An - general manager for the development and implementation of innovations in cosmetology clinic "Charm."

Briefly about the expert: Vyacheslav An came to the aesthetic cosmetology market in 2005 with a wealth of experience as a manager and innovator. That flexibility and search for innovative solutions, even in times of crisis for the country and the business, made all of Vyacheslav's projects successful. Today Vyacheslav is the manager for developing and implementing innovations in the cosmetology clinic "Charm." This person always keeps abreast of the latest technology, keeps track of changes in customer needs, adapts the company's product line, and integrates all business processes to achieve one goal - to be the first, innovative, and useful.  

Vyacheslav, how to stay aware of this vast flow of beauty services and make the right choice?

Vyacheslav An: Actually, everything is quite simple. First, you need to define the goal, or rather what you want to get, and then select the desired procedure. 

Roughly speaking, all procedures can be divided into two groups. It is minimally invasive and intrusive. The difference between them lies in the degree of intervention in the patient's tissue and, consequently, the duration of the recovery period and the risk of possible complications.

Minimally invasive programs are the gentlest. They are performed without surgery, under local anesthesia, and still, give good results. But the instant transformation will not be because many procedures have a cumulative effect and give the most natural results. Although the trend for natural rejuvenation is gaining momentum, it is worth considering that non-invasive treatments will not produce a revolutionary effect. Unfortunately, for severe age-related deformities, such methods do not work.

What solutions can help in this case?

Vyacheslav An: Of course, these are invasive or surgical methods. 

This is the most radical but also the most effective way to lift the skin, which can cope with serious age-related changes in elasticity and relief. Famous surgical elevators are blepharoplasty - which works on the area around the eyes and a circular facelift. It is possible to have a full facelift or work with a specific problem area: the lower third of the face and jawline, the middle zone, or a forehead lift and brow lift. 

Before deciding on a surgical elevator, it is necessary to assess the possibility of using minimally invasive techniques. If the skin condition or the oval face does not allow for soft techniques, it is necessary to consider a few essential points in carrying out a surgical program.

First, some procedures require a preparatory step. For example, a circular lift is indicated only after a preoperative cardiovascular system examination, laboratory tests, and the exclusion of contraindications. The rehabilitation period should also be considered. It will be longer and require 2-3 days of hospitalization under the supervision of doctors. The operation stitches will be removed on the seventh day, and only 2-3 weeks later, the patient can return to normal life.

Naturally, there may be complications. The experience and skill of the surgeons are important, but individual side effects cannot be excluded. Excessive bruising and a longer recovery period can be observed. You have to be morally prepared for that.

But in this case, the effectiveness of such methods is brighter and more visible. The surgeon is able to cope where injections and devices are powerless. Therefore, surgical procedures are effective even with severe age-related changes: pronounced skin sagging, drooping eyelids, deep wrinkles, and flabbiness. After a period of rehabilitation, the effect will be clearly visible to the naked eye. 

By the way, there is another technique group - a combined group. It combines both invasive and minimally invasive technologies. For example, it can be a combination of a circumferential lift with revitalization, botulinum therapy, or apparatus techniques. Using a laser, an innovative combined technique is also liposuction of the lower third of the face and chin. 

Vyacheslav, thank you for the interesting information. What recommendation would you give our girls who want to stay young all the time?

Vyacheslav An, manager for the development and implementation of innovations in cosmetology at the "Charm" clinic: In order to understand what procedures are recommended for you, taking into account your face type and skin condition, be sure to get a consultation with an experienced doctor of aesthetic medicine. Discuss expectations and possibilities for achieving the desired results. Ask about the advantages and disadvantages and the contraindications of anti-aging programs.
