Bulldog cheeks can appear with age, due to loss of natural elasticity, excess weight, and voluminous lumps of Bisha. But you shouldn’t resort to surgery right away. There are a few effective ways How to remove bulldog cheeks - exercises, pinching, diet and use of cosmetics. If procedures at home do not help, you can turn to specialists and do, for example, lymphatic drainage massage, thermolifting, or inject fillers.

With age, the skin loses elasticity and tone. As a result, the oval of the face acquires uneven outlines. Sagging cheeks appear, which are also called bulldog cheeks. Reasons for their appearance:

• Age. Over the years, the skin does not get better; collagen and elastin begin to be produced worse. As a rule, noticeable changes in the oval of the face occur after 30 years.

• Subcutaneous fat deposits. If a person gets fat, then all parts of the body increase, and not just one. In this case, removing bulldog cheeks is the easiest way - you just need to lose weight.
• Volumetric lumps of Bisha. With age, the fat found in the cheeks decreases, but some still have reserves. When losing weight, Bisha's lumps are not removed; they can only be removed through surgery.

• Tilt your head slightly forward. Making small turns, try to touch your chin first to one shoulder, then to the other.
• Straighten your head. Try to lower the corners of your lips as much as possible so that you feel tension in your neck.
• Place a pen or pencil in your mouth. Moving your facial muscles, try to depict the letters of the alphabet in the air. You can also draw some shapes. It is important that the head itself does not move, but only the facial muscles work. Then the bulldog cheeks will go away.

• Stand on your feet, straighten your back. Hands should be folded on the chest, crossing them. Place your palms on your shoulders. Now you need to try to stretch your neck as much as possible. When the highest point is reached, freeze in this position for ten seconds. Then return to the original position.
• Spread your fingers on your hand. Place the ring finger on the place where the nasolabial fold is formed, the middle one - on the cheek bone, the index finger - at the tragus of the ear. Open your mouth as much as possible. Fold your upper and lower lips inward, covering your teeth. Try to smile a couple of times.
• Place your index fingers on your cheekbones, pressing firmly onto your facial skin. Try to smile again. The skin should remain in place, secured with your fingers.
• Take air into your mouth, puffing out your cheeks. Hold it inside for 10 seconds, then quickly release it. After several repetitions, add air rolling in different directions.

Noticeable results do not appear instantly. The oval begins to acquire neat contours only after a month of regular exercise. It is important to perform a set of exercises daily.

How to remove bulldog cheeks with pinches

Another way to quickly get your face in order is massage. You should not hope that you will be able to remove bulldog cheeks with just pinching; you need to work on all areas using various movements. Facial massage against bulldog cheeks is done according to the following scheme:

• First, the skin warms up. You need to make several stroking movements along the massage lines. Then move on to light claps and pinches. But you need to not overdo it so that bruises do not appear on the skin of the face.
• Place the index fingers of both hands in the dimple located under the chin. In this case, one of them should be slightly ahead of the other. Start moving your fingers in opposite directions. The direction is from the chin along the jaw to the earlobe and back. Movements should be short and sharp.
• Use the back of your hand to pat your cheeks and chin. You should move from bottom to top. The intensity should be medium, otherwise you won’t be able to get rid of bulldog cheeks.

• Distribute special massage oil over your face. Using your fingertips, rub the skin on your cheeks intensively, starting from the chin to the ears. You can also perform a few pinches to help remove bulldog cheeks. The skin should not be grabbed too tightly, but slight pain should be present.
• Wet a soft towel a little while it has cooled green tea. Perform pats on the lower part of the face.

Diet for an even oval face

If the main reason for the appearance of bulldog cheeks is excess weight, a specially selected diet for losing weight on the face and body will help you forget about them. The diet suitable for this is not special, but weight always leaves all areas of the body. At the same time, the face loses weight faster.

The essence of a diet that helps remove bulldog cheeks comes down to restrictions on the consumption of certain types of foods:

• all kinds of pickles;
• fatty foods - meat, broths;
• candies, pastries, cakes, anything that contains a lot of sugar;
• coffee and strong tea;
• soda;
• alcohol;
• flour.

The main enemies of a slim figure are sugar and salt, so they should be limited first. They contribute to the retention of moisture in the body.

As for the “right” products that will help restore an even oval face, these include:

• vegetables and fruits, fresh or prepared;
• cereals;
• dairy products;
• lean meats and fish;
• seafood.

But nutritional adjustments alone are not enough. To remove bulldog cheeks from your face as quickly as possible, you need to do facial exercises and use additional facial care products along with your diet.

Masks for sagging cheeks

Along with home treatments for a beautiful oval face, it is recommended to make various masks. They are prepared from simple products:

• Egg. Lightly beat the yolk and white, add one tablespoon of high-fat cottage cheese and olive oil.
• Protein. This face mask does not use the whole egg. You need to separate the two whites and beat them a little. No other components required. Apply the mask in two layers.
• Lemon. Squeeze two tablespoons of juice from the fruit. Add half the volume of liquid honey to them and mix well.
• Dairy. The basis is high-fat sour cream. The required volume is three tablespoons. Another milk is added to them.
• Scrub mask. Pour a couple of tablespoons of oatmeal hot water. When they swell a little, add one teaspoon of natural yoghurt, honey and grated almonds.

Scrub mask

All masks are designed to combat bulldog cheeks. They need to be applied in a fairly thick layer and wait until completely dry. Usually about 20-30 minutes is enough. Afterwards the mask is removed using warm water. You can complete your home treatment by applying a moisturizer.

For those who don’t have enough time to prepare masks, you can get by with store-bought options. When buying products, you should choose those whose label says “for tightening the oval of the face.”

Age-related changes in the body appear primarily on the face. From the age of 30–35, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin gradually decreases, its hydration and ability to regenerate deteriorate, and the elasticity of soft tissues decreases. Over time and under the influence of other negative factors, the oval “floats”, ptosis of soft tissues begins, this is especially noticeable in its lower third.

Sagging cheeks, or “bulldog jowls”, is one of the most unaesthetic and difficult facial changes to correct, which can only be completely removed by radical surgical means. More gentle methods, unfortunately, give either a temporary or partial effect.

What causes this problem and what ways can you deal with it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? the site tells, and representatives of the capital’s aesthetic clinics share their recipes:

Main causes of ptosis

The following factors can lead to sagging of the soft tissues of the cheeks:

• An age-related decrease in the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, which reduces its tone and elasticity, weakens the connective tissue framework.
• Heredity (pronounced jowls as a feature of the facial structure, a tendency to early aging).
• Sudden and significant weight loss when the skin does not have time to tighten.
• Excess weight, which soft fabrics sag under the weight of subcutaneous fat deposits, incl. "Bisha lumps".
• The impact of gravity, which can only be resisted by young, strong muscles in full tone ( see also article « »).
• Bad habits and unhealthy lifestyle in general (poor diet, smoking, chronic lack of sleep). Nicotine constricts blood vessels and prevents entry into the skin required quantity oxygen, and the tendency to eat junk food, among other things, leads to fluid retention in the body. As a result, local metabolism deteriorates, soft tissues and facial muscles weaken.
• Drying of the skin during sunbathing or in a solarium, which leads to rapid aging and sagging.

How to remove sagging cheeks

There are several ways to cope with the problem; the choice of the optimal one depends on the initial condition of the skin, the patient’s age, his readiness for radical intervention, etc. They can be divided into two large groups:

• minimally invasive: lifting with threads of the lower third of the face, the use of high-density fillers or lipofilling in the cheekbones, 3D modeling, hardware (laser, ultrasound lifting, thermage, etc.);
• surgical: fat liposuction, removal of Bisha's lumps, as well as isolated or circular facelift.

The use of gentle salon or home procedures, such as creams and masks, vacuum or manual massage, or, in the case of jowls, gives a short-term and not always quite noticeable effect. All these remedies can only be of a preventive or supportive nature.

If the main cause of sagging cheeks is excess weight, then to eliminate this deficiency you need to go on a balanced diet, which will allow the fat to disappear gradually, so that the facial skin has time to adapt to the changes. For best result It is advisable to supplement the process with cosmetic lifting (mesotherapy, microcurrents, thermolifting, etc.).

Minimally invasive techniques: removing jowls without surgery

These are fairly gentle ways to eliminate soft tissue ptosis, which are optimal for combating its first manifestations at the age of 30-35. In terms of effectiveness and duration of action, they cannot be compared with plastic surgery, but they can cope with sagging cheeks of low and moderate severity for a period of 6–8 months to 4–5 years.

Procedure	What's the point	Restrictions
	Subcutaneous injection of gels based on dense hyaluronic or polylactic acid. Allows you to compensate for the lack of volume in the soft tissues of the cheeks or increase the volume of the cheekbones, due to which the skin above them is tightened. One procedure is enough to get the full effect. The result with the introduction of HA lasts about 12 months, with the introduction of other fillers - up to 3 years.	Not used for soft tissue ptosis caused by excess subcutaneous fat deposits or Bisha's lumps.
	Injections of high-density hyaluronic acid using special techniques that create a kind of frame that tightens and secures the soft tissues of the face. Lasts 1.5–2 years.	Indicated only for mild to moderate sagging cheeks without excess fat deposits or skin folds
	Subcutaneous injection of the patient's own, pre-processed fat. Allows you to compensate for the lack of volume of the soft tissues of the cheeks, increase the volume of the cheekbones, and thereby tighten the adjacent skin. The effect lasts for 2–3 years.	Not used for soft tissue ptosis caused by excess subcutaneous fat deposits or Bisha's lumps. The main disadvantage is that, as a rule, only 30-50% of the injected fat filler takes root, meaning correction may soon be needed
	Installation of special threads, with the help of which the skin and soft tissues are moved to a new position and fixed in it. The procedure also activates the skin's production of its own collagen and elastin. Both biodegradable and non-absorbable threads can be used. It gives a fairly long-lasting and natural effect of lifting the lower third of the face, on average for 3-5 years, depending on the type and number of threads. Even when using biodegradable material, which dissolves after about 8–12 months, a fibrous framework remains under the skin, supporting it for quite some time. for a long time.	Not used if there is a clear lack of soft tissue or if the subcutaneous fat layer is too thin (in this case, the threads will be visible through the skin).
	Subcutaneous injection of the patient's own, pre-processed fat. Allows you to compensate for the lack of volume of the soft tissues of the cheeks, increase the volume of the cheekbones, and thereby tighten the adjacent skin. The effect lasts from 6 months to 2–3 years, depending on the type of technique, number of sessions, etc.	Used in the early stages of sagging soft tissues and to prevent facial aging processes. There are a number of health contraindications. It will take 5–15 sessions with breaks from several days to a week. Laser and light treatments are not performed during periods of active sun to avoid hyperpigmentation
	Impact on the soft tissues of the face with weak electronic impulses. The muscle fibers contract and tone, which creates a slight lifting effect. The procedure is completely painless and atraumatic, there is no rehabilitation period.	Suitable mainly for the prevention of age-related changes, with mild ptosis of soft tissues. The corrective effect itself is very weak. A course of 10–15 sessions is required with an interval of 6–8 months

There are other minimally invasive techniques that can help solve our problem, but are somewhat less effective: vacuum, sculptural and other facial massages, other hardware effects, mesotherapy, biorevitalization. These procedures, as well as professional salon care, are recommended as supportive (in addition to the main ones) and preventive measures.

What can a plastic surgeon do?

In more mature age(from 40 years old), as well as with severe ptosis of soft tissues or excess fat deposits, the only way to guarantee these problems is plastic surgery:

Operation	Indications	What's the point
	Excess subcutaneous fat without significant excess skin	It is performed using one of the gentle methods (most often radio frequency). The surgeon destroys fat cells and pumps out their contents using a special microcannula.
	Large fat pads without significant excess skin	Fat pads are removed from the area just below the cheekbones. As a result, the skin, which they pulled down with their weight, straightens and the oval of the face becomes smoother.
	Moderate sagging skin with insufficient soft tissue volume	Biocompatible endoprostheses are placed in the cheekbone area, which add volume to the lower third of the face and thereby tighten the skin folds.
	Significant sagging of soft tissues with excess skin	The surgeon tightens the skin (and sometimes deeper tissue, down to the superficial muscle layer) and fixes it in a new position.

• For the best result, several operations and/or procedures are often performed at once: for example, liposuction and removal of Bisha’s lumps are usually supplemented with a course of thermolifting so that the skin released after removing excess fat does not hang in folds. And it’s good to combine a lift of the lower third of the face with a one-time neck lift - it’s not much more traumatic and more expensive, but the final result will look much more harmonious.
• Modern surgical techniques make it possible to almost completely hide traces of intervention. In all cases, incisions are made with inside cheeks, and during a facelift - in the fold behind the ear, due to which they will be naturally hidden from prying eyes. Thus, the only significant disadvantages of operations are the rehabilitation period, the need for general anesthesia and the presence of a voluminous list of contraindications for health reasons.
• The duration of the effect after high-quality plastic surgery is about 10 years, but you should be prepared for the fact that age-related changes will gradually return. To consolidate and maintain the results obtained, it is necessary to periodically (1-2 times a year) undergo courses of hardware and/or injection procedures.

Popularly called “bulldogs” appear. What causes them to occur?

1. Overweight. This may seem surprising at first glance, but it is plumpness that leads to the fact that the cheeks begin to sag. The fact is that excess fat in people is deposited not only on the hips and waist. People who are overweight also gain weight in their faces, particularly in the cheek area. This is the reason why the skin sags in these places. A similar problem arises with sudden weight loss. The point is that high speed skin does not keep up with weight loss. This leads to its flabbiness.
2. Aging of the dermis. With age, the upper layers of the skin lose their firmness and elasticity. This happens due to a reduction in the production of elastin and collagen.
3. Decreased muscle tone. When muscles lose elasticity, they become unable to maintain the shape of the face, including the cheeks.
4. Age. This reason is the most common cause of the problem. It is over time that the skin gradually becomes more and more flabby, and the muscles increasingly lose their elasticity.
5. The problem of sagging cheeks sometimes overtakes a person at a young age. The reason for this phenomenon is insufficient care of the dermis and failure to perform special exercises for the facial muscles.

She will relax, tune in positive emotions and improve blood circulation in the vessels. Increased blood flow, in turn, will help restore tissue elasticity, which will help get rid of the problem of sagging cheeks.

Facial massage can be used in several ways. It is done simply by hand, or using honey or a towel. Regardless of the type of procedure chosen, you will need to first cleanse the skin and apply a rich cream to it.

Hand massage begins with stroking movements, as well as light pats. After this, pinching is applied. You should “walk” with such movements, starting from the cheekbones and ending with the temples. Each manipulation must be done in a bottom-up direction. During the massage, they pinch and then smooth out all wrinkles and folds.

Vacuum massage

How to tighten sagging cheeks after 50 years, when age-related changes are already pronounced? Vacuum cups can effectively tighten sagging and sagging skin. For a long time they were used for body massage, obtaining remarkable results from fairly simple devices. For a long time people were afraid to use vacuum jars on their faces. The fact is that the aggressiveness of the procedure led to fear of the possibility of injury or stretching of the skin. However, over time it turned out that vacuum jars are also great for facial massage. Only the technique for carrying out such a procedure and the devices themselves should be somewhat different than for the body.

Vacuum jars for facial massage are designed to be smaller in size in order to have a more gentle and gentle effect on problem areas. When carried out correctly, the procedure has a tonic and lymphatic drainage effect. Special cups create a vacuum that promotes an active rush of blood to upper layers skin. This allows you to accelerate all metabolic processes occurring in tissue cells. In turn, such a reaction leads to increased collagen production, saturation of tissues with oxygen and accelerated removal of toxins from them. The skin on your face takes on a radiant, healthy appearance and an even tone. Massage procedures carried out using vacuum cans can not only eliminate bulldog cheeks, but also remove a double chin, bags under the eyes, and also eliminate blackheads.

Cosmetical tools

Of course, diet, exercise and massage are quite effective and efficient measures to combat sagging cheeks. However, an integrated approach to the problem also involves the use of cosmetics.

In this case, lifting creams can be used, as well as store-bought, salon or homemade masks. The latter can be made from improvised materials that are in the kitchen of every housewife. For example, an egg mask. To prepare it you need to take one protein chicken egg, whipping it until a thick foam forms. For dry skin, honey is added to this ingredient, and for oily skin - cereals. The mask is applied to the face and washed off after 10-15 minutes.

The symbol of a woman’s youth is not her face or neck, but her cheeks, the elasticity and freshness of which is her best passport to life.
