Improve the aesthetics of the face with aesthetic physical and surgical culture

The Head - The Face

Model training can do little for the face, leaving much of the action to the clinics, as I will describe below.

However, with diet and more in general with life-style one can significantly influence the frontal aspect of the face and this is even more true for men rather than for women, due to the gynoid distribution of alpha-receptors adrenergici of the latter. With model training or more amatorially with the Body For Life style you can slim your face and sharpen your cheekbones in this way:

  1. Reducing the percentage of body fat in general: the fat on the neck and face will be reduced accordingly. This is more true for men. Young women can often have "fake-thin" beauties due to the gynoid (pear) distribution of adiposity and fluids. This is why female beauties are often misleading and only an all-round vision reveals the girl's actual aesthetic level. If you remember it well even the boys who "hunt" flirts on social networks, to avoid embarrassing encounters ... if I also pass this "application" of the lesson.
  2. Reducing fluid retention. Here is always the difference between boy and girl above. To prevent water retention from giving you a "balloon" face, you need to:
    • be physically active; in particular the cardio-aerobic activity with plantar pressure 2-3 times a week for 20-30 'is ideal.
    • reduce the intake of sodium, simply by avoiding salting the food as it is absolutely not needed. Man has evolved in conditions of low sodium intake so much so that he has two systems (ADH and Aldosterone) to preserve it. Instead, given the abundant supply of potassium in our diet. ancestors, there is not an equally efficient system of preservation of this. So no salty food and no salt to eat! In addition to benefiting from blood pressure, your appearance will also benefit. Of course, judging by how fast-foods multiply, I would be led to think that I "frigate" a lot of my saying ...
    • Maintain a carbohydrate level not exceeding 3-4g per-kg of body weight per day for men and 2-3g / day per kilogram of body weight for women. Larger quantities - unless there is a strong and frequent glycogen depletion with endurance activity - necessarily entails fluid retention (since 1g of glycogen holds 2.7g of intracellular water, and since there is homeostasis between intra and extracellular water, so much more water it gets inside and so much more water is therefore found outside the cells, alias water retention.The sodium charge / discharge already mentioned in THE BOOK PREPARATION is an exception, but it exhausts its beneficial effect within 36 hours Paraphrasing: full muscles glycogen implies water retention This is what bodybuilders in the strength or mass phase know very well, as they consume up to 6-7g of body weight of carbohydrates per day, if you need to have full muscles for potency. glycogen, for aesthetics, however, it is always good to keep a state of partial depletion and that is not more than 1.5g of glycogen every 100g of muscle, through the care dietetics mentioned above (which is of a general nature; it must then be adapted to individual case histories on a case by case basis under the supervision of a qualified professional).
    • drink plenty of fluids (except for ALL alcohol, of course, and sugary and / or carbonated drinks, even if artificially sweetened). Non-sweetened herbal teas are good, they have a diuretic effect. Drink 1.5-2l of liquids a day (in addition to those contained in foods, especially fruits and vegetables).
    • Do not perform specific strength-power training / cycles (which make the cells greedy for fluids), but limit yourself to work of strength resistant to medium-high repetitions, with insertion of cardio sessions. Remember that in aesthetics do not need large masses even for man, while a beautiful definition, depilation, tanning is more appreciable.

If the above is what can be done with model training, much more can be done in the clinical setting with a reasonable expense today. for which it is enough to give up for a while to the superfluous and, I will say, to the useless (to understand it is of no use - aesthetically speaking - wear supergriffati pants if you then have a bottom like the trunk of an SUV. Definitely smarter is to wear a pants of the market of the country and spend the money for a liposuction after a shock treatment in the weight room / integration).

HAIR

For the record, my list starts from the hair, although rarely in young subjects there is a need to intervene in this area. headquarters. However, some men have an unfavorable DHT receptor map which leads to a truly premature male alopecia, for which a hair transplant can be used, which is also useful for the eyebrow area where there may be a shortage of hair in many girls. The treatment consists in taking a strip of scalp from the nape, then separating the individual hair complete with root and engaging in the area to thicken. Local sedation in a day hospital is sufficient. The transplanted hair grows back in 4-6 months and will no longer fall. I strongly recommend this solution rather than buying various expensive and ineffective lotions. Even slowing the androgynous expression of hair by reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT with finasteride is not a good idea; in fact, if you stop hair loss and therefore benefit from one side, you will lose it from another: low DHT leads to loss of muscle tone and reduced libido, or impotence. You do...

EYES and EYEBROWS

We go down a little along the face and briefly describe the eyebrow lifting technique also known as "model lifting" (simply because those beautiful eyes of the stars are due to professional makeup and this treatment), which solves the problem of the sagging eyebrow by lifting the 'outer corner of the eyebrow: so the look is open and longer. The effect is obtained with micro incisions that fix the strands of suspension, which shift the angle of the eyebrow to obtain the enchanted effect already mentioned. In general, local anesthesia is sufficient, but for the most sensitive subjects a slight sedation in day hospital may be necessary.

After the surgery, a swelling will last for about a week, while the feeling of "traction" will disappear within a month. Models can also be lifted with Botox using small injections of botulinum toxin. In this case, however, the effect will be temporary (maximum 9 months). The advantage - as well as the price - is that it takes 10 minutes in the clinic and you can resume your daily activity immediately.

Another eye surgery that you have certainly heard of is blepharoplasty which, however, is more common in people over 40 than in young people.

However, with this treatment the excess skin is eliminated and the bags are removed at the level of the upper and lower eyelids through small incisions. It operates under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting (with significant savings compared to clinical operations). The points are removed after 5-6 days and, after as long, you can resume work. It is natural that after the operation there is swelling and ecchymoses that will disappear within two / three weeks: during this period healing will be achieved by applying ice and favoring venous return, staying at head high even during nighttime sleep (via - for example - two pillows). In post-operative blepharoplasty it is normal to use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops on doctor's prescription. You will have to say stop training for at least a week since the Valsalva maneuver can cause pressure increases in the operated area, with risk of bleeding. Blepharoplasty can be supplemented with lipofilling to remove the dark depression under the lower eyelid. I do not mention laser or fractionated as it is suitable for over 40s.

On the eyes it is also possible to use cantoplasty for those who have a "Chinese" look, that is with an external singing downwards and pulled out: with a small incision, the song moves higher. Also in this case hospitalization is not necessary, but work in the clinic is sufficient, however short; the points are removed in 4 days; stop at the gym for 7 days and disappearance of each sign within two months.

Speaking of eyes, it must be said that I rarely get subjects who need intervention (I always refer to young people). Virtually never for males, while for females in 99% of cases it is sufficient to have a well-structured make-up that magnifies and makes the eye wink. However, professional high level photomodels in the spotlight do well to resort to the "model lifting" mentioned above. Cantoplastic work for removing the Mongolian fold in the eyes of Chinese / Japanese girls has been suggested and very widespread. You probably heard about it through the media.
