Is it possible to inject hyaluronic acid with natural results?

If a face with fine features is generally more attractive, why do we use hyaluronic acid to fill a face?

Is it possible to have a different vision of things, where we inject less but beautify more? Because if hyaluronic acid can harm your beauty, it can also increase your attractiveness. In this article, we'll find out whether it's possible to inject hyaluronic acid to beautify, rejuvenate or even make yourself more photogenic.

Generally speaking, faces with fine features have more prominent contours and are more attractive than less defined faces. Let's take a look at some celebrities who have put on weight for a role to illustrate our point. 

Our first example is Christian Bale, who can be seen in his roles in American Psycho and Batman. You can see that he's very fit, with a slim face, but then he put on a lot of weight for his role as Dick Cheney in the film Vice. You can see that he's lost all the definition in his face, which has become round, he's lost the definition in his cheekbones and the oval line of his face is broken.

Now let's take a look at Charlize Theron, who is gorgeous and has also played a number of roles, notably in monster, where she has put on weight. We can also see that her face has become too round and her cheekbones less defined.

Now let's take a look at Charlize Theron's evolution over time. We can see that at twenty, her face is much rounder than in her thirties or forties, and that the contours of her face have become better defined over time.  of the normal evolution of a face and in no way the consequences of medicine or cosmetic surgery. Naturally, facial fat diminishes over time. When you're young, fat looks like this, then over time it becomes like this, and finally like this.

That's why some patients tell me they think they look better in their thirties than they did in their twenties, because their faces were too round, with poor cheekbone definition.

Let's take a look at another actress who can be followed from her twenties to her forties.

It's Jennifer Connelly, and I think she's a superb actress, and given that she's made quite a few films, we're going to be able to go back in time and see how she used to look. You can see that her face used to be much rounder when she was younger, but as she gets a little older, with the natural loss of fat that occurs in her thirties, you can see a better definition of the facial contours, especially the cheekbones and jawline.

So if you're in your twenties and think your face is too round, you should know that it will naturally refine over time, and that there's no need to rush into injections to better define your face. It's true that to have a face with pretty curves and good definition of the cheekbones or jawline, you shouldn't have too much fat in front of the jawbone or mandible, but there's no point in trying to lose massive amounts of weight to refine your face, otherwise the temples, eyes and cheeks will hollow out and your attractiveness will diminish, making you look sick. Personally, I no longer use hyaluronic acid for an overall increase in facial volume, as it's not really effective. If you're too thin, it's much more effective to return to a normal weight, which won't cost you a cent and will be healthier. 

So if a thin face seems more attractive, why use hyaluronic acid to fill out a face? In fact, the point of injections lies elsewhere: it's not a question of filling for the sake of filling, but of improving the distribution of volumes and creating purer contours. We'll now look at how hyaluronic acid injections can beautify or rejuvenate you, and at the end of the video how to use the acid. Hyaluronic acid to make you more photogenic.

Now let's take a brief look at two distinct approaches to hyaluronic acid injections: Rejuvenation and beautification.

Beautification with hyaluronic acid

Rejuvenation gives the face back the volume it has lost and beautification gives the face characteristics it never had.

First of all, let's focus on the benefits of hyaluronic acid in beautifying the face, essentially by improving its proportions.

For example, if you have a chin that is set back from the rest of the face, this can give the false impression that you lack character. In this case, an injection of hyaluronic acid will harmonize the profile by increasing the projection of the chin. Doctors use the ricket line to create a harmonious profile. If you have a hump on the nose, medical rhinoplasty is also a good solution to make it disappear. If you have hypotrophy of the lips, an increase in the volume of harmonious lips is possible, provided that artistic anatomy criteria are respected during the injection. I've outlined these criteria in a video dedicated to lip augmentation.

If you want to better define the cheekbones, you can do so, provided you use a very firm acid that will be able to project the skin opposite the jawbone, and above all not a soft acid that will only make the face look heavier. One of the criteria for artistic anatomy of the middle third of the face is the OGEE line, a double curve that gives harmony to the face and helps determine whether cheekbone injections are required. As we have already seen, it's all a question of tact and moderation. You mustn't inject large quantities of hyaluronic acid to round out the face, but rather inject precisely and in a targeted manner.

Rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid

In the context of rejuvenation, we're going to look at my advice from 20s to 50s.

At the age of twenty, of course, no hyaluronic acid injections are necessary for rejuvenation, but ageing essentially starts with the skin. If you want to have beautiful skin, I've made a video on this subject.

If you're in your thirties or forties, we've already seen that the fat in your face has diminished slightly, and this has had two consequences: on the one hand, your face has become thinner, which may have increased your attractiveness and created better contour definition; on the other hand, the bad news is that the skin on your face has become slightly looser. My advice is not to succumb to the temptation of massive injections to tighten the skin - we saw the consequences at the beginning of this video - but rather to make a few targeted injections in the nasolabial fold, cheekbones or temples. The aim is to erase the first signs of ageing before it's too late, since it's much easier to treat incipient blemishes than a face that has been heavily marked by time.

At the age of fifty, bone resorption begins, as does fat loss,  Injections can be carried out more regularly to harmonize the face, but it can also be useful to gain a few kilos. Indeed, an increase in the volume of superficial fat will tighten the skin and increase its hydration.

In conclusion, hyaluronic acid injections can be used to beautify, rejuvenate or make you more photogenic, but you must not overuse them, as they can distort your face.

Photogenic with hyaluronic acid

Under the influence of social networking, the importance of photogenics has increased, and if some people are more photogenic than others, it's because of their face's natural ability to capture light. It is possible to make a face more photogenic with hyaluronic acid injections, drawing direct inspiration from contouring-type make-up techniques that highlight or blur certain facial features. On a face, there are hollow areas that absorb light and create shadow, and convex areas that attract light and become luminous. As can be seen on this woman, the bright spots on the face are the nose, forehead, outer cheekbones, upper chin and tail of the eyebrow.  The principle is to accentuate light catchment by creating convexities on specific points, such as the outer cheekbones, the tail of the eyebrow or the nose, and to erase shadows by diminishing hollows in the nasolabial folds and frown lines. A face's ability to catch the light plays a major part in making it photogenic, and these principles are used not only in make-up techniques, but also in social networking filters. In this photo, we can see how filling the nano-nano-labial folds diminishes the shadow at this level. And this photo shows how an injection in the cheekbones creates a luminous focal point. The good news is that to attenuate the first signs of ageing or to work on shadows and highlights, very little hyaluronic acid is needed, just one or two syringes maximum. As we saw earlier, naturalness comes first.
