Regain Your Youthful Volume

ISTANBUL, (DHA)- Saying that signs of aging from head to toe emerge as age progresses, Ear Nose Throat Head and Neck Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal said “As we age, the fat tissues that give volume to the face decrease. After a while, the supporting tissues and skin that replace these tissues loosen. They sag downward with the effect of gravity. Due to this sagging, chin contours deteriorate. However, if desired, the skin can be restored to its former state.”

Stating that volume loss in bones causes skin sagging, downward sliding of eyes, facial collapse, and eyelid sagging, Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal expressed that hyaluronic acid found in the connective tissue of healthy skin is a natural sugar, this acid moisturizes the skin by binding water molecules and gives the skin its elastic property. Op. Dr. Uçal stated that the amount of hyaluronic acid that decreases day by day leads to problems such as skin drying and thinning, thus making wrinkles and folds more prominent.

Minimize the Effects of Aging

Emphasizing that hyaluronic acid is very important, Uçal said, “Facial fillers that reduce the effects of aging contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid added to the skin restores the lost healthy appearance and elasticity. Moreover, this application has a reversible feature. That is, if desired, the skin can be restored to its former state.”

Saying “Each person’s way of aging and the changes that occur in their face are different,” Uçal made the warning “For this reason, correct evaluation and planning are needed for facial filler.”

Things to Pay Attention to After Application

Stating that applications made in wrong amounts and wrong depths can lead to swollen faces that have lost their naturalness, Op. Dr. Uçal said that in order not to encounter such risks, progressing slowly instead of radical changes is the most reliable way.

Emphasizing that the biggest fear of individuals who want to rejuvenate is ‘turning into different individuals while wanting to rejuvenate,’ Uçal underlined that slowly followed paths can restore vitality to the skin without losing naturalness.

Yusuf Orhan Uçal stated that such applications are temporary and said: “If you do not want to continue; hyaluronic acid is naturally absorbed by your skin without leaving a trace, and the results become invisible. The main things you need to pay attention to here are avoiding sun, sauna, UV rays and very cold weather.
