Good Lifestyle

A Pillow Face , or "pillow face" in a literal translation, has returned to social networks in recent days with the appearance of Diva Madonna on the red carpet of the Grammy Awards. Madonna is a very empowered woman, and even with her position in the speech about rebellion in the music industry, the singer's appearance was once again the target of harsh criticism. Madonna was called “unrecognizable” because of the aesthetic procedures she did, which left her with the Pillow Face .

The Pillow Face It is a condition resulting from the exaggeration in the use of injecting medicines or in their poor application by the health professional. In these situations, the face is swollen and distorted.

“In the professional environment we call the 'pillow face', whose effect resembles the swelling of the face upon waking, but it is a side effect of the misuse of hyaluronic acid, which may have been used in excess. It is possible to perceive it mainly on the lips, outline of the face such as chin, jaw and cheek ”, comments the expert in facial and body harmonization, Eduardo Crivelenti, during an interview with the publication Purepeople.

How to avoid Pillow Face

To avoid getting a Pillow Face , first do good research on people who will do the procedure with injecting medicines to ensure that they have experience in the area and technical capacity. One tip is to ask for contact from past customers and ask if they are pleased and search Google about the professional's qualifications. Remember that the 'pillow face' can be a consequence of incompetence and lack of knowledge about proportions.

Make sure your skin is indicated for the procedure. If the skin is already very flabby, the professional may need to apply a very large amount of acid or fat, which may end up very artificial and causing pillow face. Thus, talk a lot to your doctor to understand if the procedure with injectables is appropriate for you; In some situations, it may be recommended to perform plastic surgery.

The greatest indicators of Pillow Face These are: excessive alteration of facial anatomy, movement restriction and distortion of the person's expressions and personal characteristics.

Prevention

If you want to prevent Pillow Face Nor does it want to need to undergo invasive aesthetic procedures in the future, it is recommended to take care of your skin since now. For example, one of the best decisions you can make to prevent your skin from aging prematurely is to stop smoking if you already do it. In addition to the harmful effects of cigarette compounds, smoking increases wrinkles due to the required facial movement, and has a vasoconstrictor effect - that is, it reduces blood circulation.

One more way to prevent premature skin aging is to have a diet rich in fiber, antioxidants and probiotics, as well as healthy fats.

Consult with a dermatologist to understand the products you can use on the skin. In most cases, in order to prevent premature aging, it is recommended to use sunscreen daily (even on cloudy days or internal environments) and retinol, a product derived from vitamin A known to accelerate cell regeneration and boost collagen production.

Finally, it is also possible to make interventions such as facial harmonization itself and botox to soften the signs of aging in a balanced way, which can be done in small doses.

On the subject of vanity, expert Eduardo commented: “The issue of vanity is not associated with age. In recent times we observe that the public also seeks the means that keep their appearance up to date. Also important is the association of vanity with self -esteem of the person. Surgeries conduct this improvement in mental health. ”

Self -knowledge is needed before considering a procedure as invasive as surgery (or even the less invasive, as fillers ). So ask yourself: I really want to do this or I'm acting for pressure that everyone says I have to do it? After all, there is nothing more natural than aging.
