Jolie angles” is the name of a cosmetic procedure that is used to increase the angles of the lower jaw and sometimes the chin.This manipulation was named after the Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie. She has not only pronounced cheekbones, but also her lower jaw. That is why her face seems so interesting.
In Russia, most women have the so-called Slavic face type . With it, cheekbones, chin and angles of the lower jaw are usually very weakly expressed. This is not bad, because every woman is beautiful and unique. But if you want to make bone structures more expressive, then you will not be able to achieve this without the help of cosmetology and plastic surgery.
One of these procedures was the increase in the angles of the lower jaw – the creation of “Jolie angles”.
What do you need for this?
To achieve “Jolie angles,” cosmetologists use a syringe to apply a very dense preparation of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite to the lower jaw.
Fillers with hyaluronic acid are needed to create volume in this area. This substance attracts a large amount of water.
Experts from the Cleveland Clinic that a quarter teaspoon of hyaluronic acid can retain over 5 liters of water.As a result, the necessary volume where it is lacking.
Hydroxyapatite does not attract water, but the formation of new collagen, which results in an increase in volume.
Does it hurt?
Yes. The injection of any drug into the face itself is very painful because this area is rich in nerves. In addition, local trauma and the drug itself cause inflammation and swelling of the tissue. Because of this, you also feel pain .
During the procedure, the doctor usually applies an anesthetic cream, and the filler may contain anesthetic components. But this will not improve the situation dramatically: their effect will end, and the face will bother you for several more days.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends greatly on the drug: hydroxyapatite is the most expensive option. There is only one drug with it on the market and its price is steep. So the procedure will cost 50,000 rubles or more.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are usually cheaper, but you need more of them. So it’s hard to say which will ultimately be more economical.Unfortunately, unscrupulous cosmetologists may use uncertified products that will cost much less. But the result will also be unpredictable . So the low price should alert you.
Will my face really become like Jolie’s?
Here lies the main catch – the result is not guaranteed at all. If there is not enough of the drug, you will not notice anything new. If there is too much of it, then instead of aristocratic angles you will get unsightly bumps.
The drug also the ability to migrate, so under the influence of gravity it may end up in the neck at some point.
I have not encountered such cases myself, because I do not like this manipulation and dissuade patients from it. But I know that such lumps of gel on the neck were sometimes taken for enlarged lymph nodes and they began to look for malignant tumors. After a biopsy, the truth, of course, was revealed, but waiting for the results is very painful.
Can “Jolie angles” be harmful to health?
Common complications bruising, redness, and pain. Less common are allergic reactions or the development of granulomas, dense inflammatory lesions that do not resolve.
But there may be other troubles.
To get a clear angle and see the result after the procedure, most often a lot of the product is needed – 3, 4 and even 6 ml. Such large volumes of filler strongly compress the surrounding tissues, including lymphatic and blood vessels, as well as the salivary gland. Because of this, the intervention leads to fluid retention and swelling. And instead of clear angles, you get the round face of an intelligent alcoholic.
Another problem that may arise after correction is damage to the salivary gland during injection and disruption of saliva flow.
also dangerous outcomes after injections , such as osteomyelitis, or bone infection. But they are extremely rare, with only a few cases known throughout the history of use.
Is it possible to get rid of Jolie’s angles?
Calcium hydroxyapatite preparations cannot be removed, only time will help. Hyaluronic acid can be by hyaluronidase, a special enzyme that breaks long chains of molecules and allows the body to quickly remove the preparation.
But it is not so easy to remove the drug from this area. The active chewing muscle, the salivary gland – all these structures contribute to the migration of the drug. Because of this, the filler is distributed unevenly, so it is difficult to remove.
Should you do Jolie angles?
More likely no than yes. There are no objective reasons to do them, and the result may be far from expectations. In addition, aesthetic problems may arise.
Beauty is subjective, but there are traditional features that make someone look more masculine or feminine. Angelina Jolie’s angles suit her face very well. But such a clear “iron-shaped” oval can make her look worse: it can make her face look wider and more masculine. In general, any trend should suit a specific girl first of all, and “Jolie’s angles” themselves are not a magical manipulation that should make anyone attractive.
What to do instead of “Jolie angles”?
This question cannot be answered immediately for everyone. Each face is individual and will need different procedures: someone may really lack volume in the chin, while for someone it is enough to do an ultrasound lift – and the oval will immediately become clear without fillers.
If you want to improve something, discuss it with a cosmetologist. Most likely, your face does not require alterations, it is enough to simply emphasize natural features.
