Masks, which became a part of our social life in the pandemic, also changed their aesthetic demands. While the lips, nose and chin hidden by the mask were thrown into the background, the eye area and forehead aesthetics came to the fore. While the use of the wrong mask, which is frequently on the agenda, also affects this table, Plastic Surgeon Op. Dr. Reşit Burak Kayan warned, “Using the wrong mask can cause serious problems in the early period, especially after rhinoplasty."

ISTANBUL (TR) - Hygienic masks that came into our lives with the coronavirus pandemic are vital because they prevent the risk of contamination in social life to a great extent. Even if vaccination begins, the masks that will be with us for a long time affect not only social life but also today's aesthetic concerns. The aesthetic demands for facial areas such as lips, nose and chin under the masks are now being replaced by the eye area and forehead aesthetics, which are more prominent. Stating that the use of wrong masks may cause problems in the early period after aesthetics is also effective, Plastic Surgeon Op. Dr. Reşit Burak Kayan said, “Our focal points have changed. Our new focal points are the areas that the mask cannot cover; our eyes became our eye area, eyebrows, cheekbones and forehead. At the same time, there are those who rightly fear that the mask may adversely affect the results of some aesthetic interventions. Because using the wrong mask in the early period after rhinoplasty can cause serious problems. Incorrect union and low nasal tip are the leading ones.”

Botox and endoscopic aesthetic methods were the favorites during the pandemic

Pointing out that during the pandemic process, the aesthetic demands for areas such as lips, nose or chin tip that were disturbed in the past, Op. Dr. Reşit Burak Kayan said that there is a tendency towards botox and forehead aesthetics applications. Kayan said, “As the strongest barrier against aging, botox has become an indispensable part of the pandemic period as it is in every period. This application we have made for the treatment of wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes is still popular. The forehead aesthetics, which we make the forehead more prominent and rounded, has started to be preferred frequently to make the eye and eyebrow contours more aesthetic with the use of masks. In parallel with this, with the endoscopic method we call the endoscopic triple, it is popular to make the eyes more shaped and slanted without leaving any marks on the face, to raise or contour the eyebrows and to tighten the temple area. In this method, which we call the endoscopic quadruple, mid-face suspension can be added, which makes the cheekbones prominent and heals the sagging of the cheeks. Finally, device skin care and facial rejuvenation applications, where demand has never decreased, remain popular.”

“Artificial fillings should not be applied to any area of the face other than the lips” / Oil injection should be preferred instead of artificial fillings

Stating that the demand for filling applications continues, even though it is less preferred compared to the pre-pandemic period, Kayan said, “It is a method that is frequently preferred in filling applications, nasal belts, and in covering defects such as wrinkles and adding volume to some facial areas. However, artificial fillers should not be applied to any part of the face except the lips. Fat injection should be preferred instead. Because artificial fillings are substances that we cannot be sure of in the long term. On the other hand, the fat injection method, with the help of a very small cannula, is used to increase the concentration of stem cells by applying local anesthesia from any area desired by the patient before the application, thus increasing the concentration of stem cells and thus creating an anti-aging effect on the whole face thanks to the active stem cells in it. an application. At this point, it is also possible to increase the brightness and quality of the skin and to regulate the skin tone and tension. Under the eyes, cheek areas, forehead, nasolabial lines, chin tip and chin line are the areas where we do this application the most.”
