How is it possible to rejuvenate the neck and decollete area: cosmetics or surgery?

Over the years, many ladies lay aside clothing with the decollete and drape the folds and wrinkles that have appeared with dense fabrics. But is it necessary to refuse to tame before the inevitable old age? Or will modern cosmetics, salon procedures or breast lifting allow to fight more? Doctors of the Poltava Clinic of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery give their recommendations for preserving the youth of the neck and chest.

Causes of wrinkles in the decollete area

In order to prevent aging of the chest and neck, it is worthwhile to get acquainted with the factors leading to the deterioration of its condition:

1. Lack of proper care. The disregarding of cosmetic products for moisturizing and nourishing of delicate skin leads to their rapid loss of elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles and stretch marks. Especially quick is the deterioration of the skin during pregnancy and after the completion of lactation. Constant changes in hormonal levels and changes in the volume of the mammary glands are the main enemies of the decollete youth.
2. Postural disorder. Slouching back and hunched shoulders are the cause of wrinkles even in young girls and the situation only gets worse with age;
3. Sunbathing. A little while in the sun has not stopped anyone, but shock doses of ultraviolet light contribute to the loss of moisture, loss of elasticity and deterioration of the barrier function of the skin.
4. Sharp weight loss, which is also contributing to the formation of wrinkles in the decollete area. You should prefer proper nutrition instead of diets, then the weight will go away gradually, and the integuments will have time to adjust to the new shape of the figure.
5. Wrong position in the sleep, which is leading to formation of the wrinkles in the neck.
6. Highly sensitive skin. The thinness of the integument of the decollete area increases their vulnerability to early aging.

Procedures used to eliminate wrinkles on the decollete area

Wrinkles in the neck and chest that have already appeared require considerable effort to eliminate. The means to fight the signs of aging include: home methods, salon techniques and surgical means.
