How to get rid of “bulldog cheeks”?

With age, the face loses its clear contours, sagging cheeks appear. People call them “bulldog cheeks”, and in various magazines and cosmetology “flew”.

How to tighten the oval of the face and get rid of the wings?

First, let's figure out where the bulldog cheeks come from.

First, subcutaneous fat is deposited in the cheeks.

Therefore, the more fatty tissue on the face, the heavier the cheeks, and the more they sag. Such flews can appear even in youth. It is possible to remove bulldog cheeks in this case if you lose weight.

Secondly, the cheek area is a kind of “warehouse” where the reserves of the fatty tissue of the face are stored. This warehouse – Bish's pouches – is the same fat depot as the thighs or belly. And unlike subcutaneous fat, Bish's lumps almost do not lend themselves to weight loss – they can only be removed.

However, there is a third reason – age. After about 30 years in the body, the production of collagen and elastane decreases, which kept the skin in good shape. The leather frame that has become not dense enough sags, and the skin of the cheeks (often – under the weight of Bish's lumps) moves down and forms an ugly fold.

And now tips and recipes for getting rid of bulldog cheeks:

Bulldog cheeks are fatty tissue that has the unpleasant property of retaining fluid and increasing in size. To get rid of swelling in the cheek area, you need to drink up to 3 liters of clean water and minimize salt intake. Sugar has a similar effect and needs to be limited too.

• puff out your cheeks again, only this time inside your mouth try to push the air in one direction, then in the other,
• Remember some vowels from the alphabet, namely “o”, “a”, “s”, pronounce these sounds, especially opening your mouth as wide as possible,
• Fold your lips into a tube, and push out the air, as you exhale, pronounce other vowel sounds, that is, “u” and “u”.
