Is it worth doing “Jolie angles”?

What are “Jolie angles”?

“Jolie angles” is the name of a cosmetic procedure that is needed to increase the angles of the lower jaw and sometimes the chin.

This manipulation was named so because of the Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie. Not only her cheekbones are pronounced, but also her lower jaw. That's why her face seems so interesting.

In Russia, most women have the so-called Slavic face type. With it, the cheekbones, chin and angles of the lower jaw are usually very weakly expressed. This is not a bad thing because every woman is beautiful and unique. But if you want to make your bone structures more expressive, you won’t be able to achieve this without the help of cosmetology and plastic surgery.

One of these procedures was to increase the angles of the lower jaw - creating “Jolie angles”.

What is needed for this?

To obtain “Jolie angles,” cosmetologists use a syringe to apply a very dense preparation to the lower jaw. hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite.

Fillers with hyaluronic acid are needed to create volume in this area. This substance attracts large amounts of water.

Experts from the Cleveland Clinic They saythat a quarter teaspoon of hyaluronic acid can hold over 5 liters of water.

As a result is being created the necessary volume where it is lacking.

Hydroxyapatite does not attract water, but stimulates the formation of new collagen, which results in an increase in volume.

It hurts?

Yes. In itself, the introduction of any drug into the face is very painful, because this area is rich in nerves. In addition, local trauma and the drug itself cause inflammation and swelling of the tissues. Because of this, you also feel pain.

During the procedure, the doctor usually applies a numbing cream, and the filler may contain numbing components. But this will not radically improve the situation: their effect will end, and the face will be bothered for several more days.

How much does it cost?

The cost depends very much on the drug: hydroxyapatite is the most inexpensive 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 more of them are needed. So it’s difficult to say which will be more economical in the end.

Unfortunately, unscrupulous cosmetologists can use uncertified drugs that will cost much less. But the result will be unpredictable. So the low price should alert you.

Will my face really become like Jolie's?

This is where the main catch lies - the result is not at all guaranteed. If the drug is not enough, then you will not notice anything new. If there is a lot of it, then instead of aristocratic corners you will get ugly bumps.

Also after injections there are dangerous outcomes such as osteomyelitis, or bone infection. But they are extremely rare, isolated cases are known throughout the history of use.

Is it possible to get rid of “Jolie angles”?

Hydroxyapatite preparations calcium It’s impossible to get it out, only time will help. Hyaluronic acid can be destroy hyaluronidase - a special enzyme that breaks long chains of molecules and allows the body to quickly remove the drug.
