Facial rejuvenation – what are the precautions to avoid looking artificial

Whether you are in love with the world of beauty or not, you are certainly already familiar with the concept of facial harmonization. The procedure that promises to deliver a more harmonious face, shaped by voluminous lips, defined eyebrows, cheekbones and well-defined jawlines, has already taken thousands of Brazilians to beauty clinics.

We can notice the increase in interest in facial harmonization through numbers. The search engine Google, for example, recorded a 540% increase in searches for the term in 2019, while, in 2020, the subject was searched for 115% more compared to the previous year.

Unfortunately, not all results are successful and exaggerated facial harmonization, nicknamed “facial disharmonization”, has become a reality among many patients. In other words, procedures that should contribute to the rejuvenation and aesthetics of patients ended up promoting unwanted results.

There are several factors behind exaggerated facial harmonization. Continue following our article and check out some recommendations to avoid this problem.

After all, is it possible to do facial harmonization and obtain natural results?

Several patients arrive at the office and report their fear of undergoing facial harmonization. The most common fear is “having the appearance of your face completely changed” or “having a very full face”. In fact, if we take into account the current context of social media, in which failure cases are publicized very frequently, it is quite understandable why patients develop this fear.

However, it is extremely important that people understand that yes, it is possible to perform facial harmonization and obtain natural results. Believe me, artificial results are the minority.

5 tips to obtain good results

As we mentioned previously, in recent years there has been a significant increase in the search for facial harmonization, a treatment that brings together different techniques to promote subtle changes to the face, leaving it more harmonious.

Artificial and excessive results, however, also grew. Find out below how to avoid them.

1. Choice of professional

The Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist are the most qualified professionals to carry out a facial harmonization treatment, as they have extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, as well as aesthetic sense.

Therefore, it is recommended that you undergo the treatment with a qualified and trustworthy professional who has experience with this type of treatment.

2. Assessment before the procedure

A very common problem that can result in excessive facial harmonization is wanting to undergo the procedure immediately upon arriving at the doctor’s office.

The ideal is that, before treatment, an assessment is carried out so that the patient can explain to the specialist what their concerns are with the aesthetics of the face and what the desired results are.

During this stage, it is important to inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies, autoimmune diseases or other health problems.

Even though it is not a surgical intervention, it is extremely important to share this information with the medical team so that the chances of complications can be avoided.

3. Room to refine the result later

Many professionals choose to work with a safety margin on facial harmonization by arranging to do touch-ups in the weeks following the first application.

This makes it easier to avoid exaggerations in harmonization, since, with this approach, the result is sought little by little, with more precision and with better awareness of how the body will react to the substance.

4. Interval of applications

Some patients have so many expectations regarding aesthetic interventions that they end up carrying out different procedures in a short period of time, but this practice should only be carried out if guided by the dermatologist, haste should not guide the procedures.

5. Psychological support

An important factor that can contribute to an exaggerated result in facial harmonization may be related to an image disorder on the part of the patient, a fact that affects the way he sees himself.

Image disorders require psychiatric and/or psychological support and can be the result of the search for an unrealistic standard of beauty, or even media pressure.

The specialist, when talking to the patient when evaluating the treatment, must assess whether there is any distortion in how the patient sees himself, being able to avoid exaggerated or unnecessary intervention.

With this, it was possible to note that exaggerations in facial harmonization can be caused by different factors, from choosing an unqualified professional to carry out the treatment, to psychological conditions that affect self-image.

I did facial harmonization and I didn’t like the result. What to do?

In cases where the harmonization does not please the patient, it is possible to resort to the following solutions:

• Refine the result by applying more hyaluronic acid;
• Apply an enzyme that dilutes hyaluronic acid, hyaluronidase.
• In any case, the ideal is to always choose a qualified professional, so as not to obtain artificial results and try, as much as possible, to guarantee a satisfactory final result, which does not need to be corrected.
• The Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist are the most suitable professionals to evaluate and conduct the treatment, aiming for a harmonious and natural result.
