Padded shoulders: men have started augmenting muscles in beauty clinics
Women with painted eyebrows and duck lips risk losing their positions in the rating of heroes of memes and jokes. The fashion for artificial beauty is increasingly worrying representatives of the stronger sex. Some men prefer to buy from plastic surgeons instead of earning it by training and physical labor. The procedure to increase the shoulders with the help of fillers is becoming popular. What consequences can turn out such correction, who chooses such "tuning" and how to bring yourself to perfection naturally - in the material "Izvestia".
How does the procedure
Beauty clinics assure that correct with the help of fillers can be corrected virtually any part of the body. The average cost of such a procedure starts from 15 thousand rubles. The service, increasing male shoulders, is in demand among Muscovites under 30 years old. Its popularity is still gaining momentum - this trend came to us from the West, where the same way "pump up" even the calf muscles.
Cosmetologist Svetlana Girina of the Scandinavian Health Center warns that the procedure of injecting fillers into the shoulders is not always justified and may be unsafe.
- This technique seems attractive to those who are not ready for long training sessions in the gym, but want to quickly correct their appearance. However, it should be understood that such a procedure does not solve the problem with physical fitness. It is more of a temporary solution," says Svetlana Girina.
In addition, according to Girina, to effectively increase the volume of the shoulders with the help of fillers will require a significant amount of material.
The most common preparations based on hyaluronic acid, which, fortunately, is a natural component of the body.
- It quickly degrades to water and carbon dioxide, making it not really suitable for volume enhancement in large areas such as the shoulders. Depending on the characteristics of the body, the effect may disappear after a year or even sooner," warns the expert.
The procedure for injecting hyaluronic acid is considered safe, but Svetlana Girina notes that cosmetologists most often use it in smaller volumes - for facial contouring, correcting lips, nasolabial folds, cheekbones and other areas. Again, for a noticeable result when correcting large areas of the body, such as shoulders, requires much more substance, and the effect can be short-lived.
- As for other methods of correction, one of the alternatives is the use of implants, - comments Svetlana Girina. - They have a long lifespan, are encapsulated in the body and are comfortable to wear.
According to the cosmetic surgeon, the world plastic surgery also uses the method of lipofilling - to increase the volume of certain areas is used the patient's own fat. It remains in the body long enough unlike hyaluronic acid.
- However, it is important to realize that all such procedures should be prescribed only after consultation with a doctor. Any interventions in the body, even simple injections, carry certain risks. Therefore, the choice of such a method of modifying your body should be taken seriously, - comments Svetlana Girina.
Negative consequences
In different eras under the influence of fashion developed this or that direction in aesthetic medicine, says Associate Professor of the Department of Osteopathy NWSMU named after I.I. Mechnikov, osteopathic physician, neurologist Vladimir Belash. But over time, the negative sides of these interventions made themselves known.
- So far we have not had to observe patients with the consequences of artificial enlargement of the shoulder girdle, because clinical experience of these or those changes is accumulated only after several years, - says Vladimir Belash. - This was the case, in particular, with women who underwent breast augmentation surgery. After mass surgeries, it took 5-7 years before we encountered pronounced clinical consequences.
According to the expert, female breast implant wearers suffer a lot from the thoracic spine due to the shift in the center of gravity. For the same reason, they also develop a flat foot deformity over time.
- This is accompanied by painful sensations, clattering of shoes and increased risk of developing the so-called hallux valgus - this pathology is popularly referred to as ossicle," says Vladimir Belash.
According to the neurologist, it has happened that some women a few years after the installation of implants developed vascular disorders and lymph flow disorders. And the most unpleasant phenomenon is purulent-septic inflammation with the inevitable removal of implants, which entails scar tissue deformation.
According to the neurologist, so far we can only assume what exactly the negative impact of shoulder augmentation surgery can have on a person.
- The main negative moment will probably be a violation of biomechanics, that is, mobility on the part of the cervical and thoracic spine. These changes will cause other problems. A person will be bothered by pain syndromes, he may have a sensory disturbance of the upper extremities - numbness and tingling - reflects the neurologist.
The doctor also does not rule out more serious consequences, such as vascular disorders, and, as a consequence, headaches and swelling in the neck area. More substantive discussion will be possible when the medical community will accumulate clinical experience of observation of imaginary rich men.
- There was a period when height enhancement surgeries were popular among short men," says Vladimir Belash. - This is a rather traumatic operation: the bones of the lower limbs were broken, and conditions were created for them to fuse in a certain way. As a result, the growth increased by 5-10 cm. And now, a dozen years later, there is a whole layer of problems with the spine and internal organs in patients who have undergone such surgical treatment.
The neurologist also recalls the sad story of the "synthol jock" Kirill Tereshin, who in 2017 increased his muscles by injecting himself. After repeated injections of the solution, the young man, who went down in history as Hands-Bazuki, was threatened with amputation of his upper limbs. After several operations, the hands were saved, but the health of the "jock" has since been severely compromised.
- The introduction of foreign substances into the intermuscular space for the sake of body contouring makes itself known after 2-3 years. Such patients require surgical removal of the solution. The consequences of rash actions - drains, scar tissue deformation, pain syndromes, impaired joint mobility- comments Vladimir Belash.
Fashion for additional volume of buttocks, which was popularized in its time by the American media personality Kim Kardashian, is also unsafe. Doctors can already now say what problems are experienced by women who have made themselves such operations.
- After such interventions, the biomechanics of the pelvis changes, i.e. walking is disturbed. As a result, women have pelvic and muscular pain and deformed feet. And the most unpleasant problem is the deterioration of the reproductive sphere, because the change in pelvic mobility causes blood circulation disorders in the pelvic cavity and internal organs," warns Vladimir Belash.
In addition to the deterioration of reproductive function, female followers of the American diva also experience such disorders as frequent urination and functional constipation.
What kind of husband he is
Psychiatrist, sexologist Alexei Vilkov believes that the procedure to change the appearance can resort to men who are characterized by anxiety, high mistrust, self-doubt, as well as inferiority complex.
- Low level of motivation to certain difficulties, labor, self-development in physical and psychological terms forces such people to increase self-esteem and external attractiveness with the help of some quick, miraculous measures, - comments Alexei Vilkov.
According to the expert, these transformations usually have only a temporary effect. Most often, such people remain dissatisfied with the result, so they are prone to repeated visits to clinics and become addicted to plastic surgery.
- Another variant of adherence to such services is the mental disorder dysmorphophobia. A person suffering from this disorder is initially dissatisfied with his or her appearance, although there are no preconditions for this," says the psychiatrist.
In this case, the patient is so sure of the invented physical ailment that he tries to remake himself with the help of plastic surgeries.
- He turns to surgeons and, despite contraindications, usually succeeds. But even after remaking himself, he remains dissatisfied with the result and time after time again lies down under the scalpel, - says Alexei Vilkov.
Ideally, psychologists and psychotherapists advise people to accept themselves as they are, to appreciate their natural beauty and not to give in to temptations to constantly change something about themselves using artificial methods. And if men dare to intervene for the sake of external beauty because of insecurity, then women better think carefully before linking their lives with them.
- In relationships, these men are most often characterized by anxiety and emotional instability. They are prone to manifestations of jealousy, which happens again because of insecurity. Such men are able to provoke various conflicts, doubt themselves and their partner. That is, there is always a risk of problems in relationships because of the peculiarities of the character of such people, - warns Alexei Vilkov.
But sexologist stipulates: if after all, the external changes like partners, both are happy, and the relationship reigns harmony, it is their own business, how to look.
How to achieve muscle relief
Not everyone is born bogatyrs - children are born with genetically set parameters and not always these indicators meet the standards of beauty. However, a beautiful and powerful figure can be formed and maintained with the help of a proper, healthy lifestyle and regular dynamic exercise. From an orthopedic doctor's point of view, the most accessible way to improve your appearance is swimming.
- Swimmers have a broad chest, broad shoulders, narrow pelvis. And it is not necessary to go straight into professional sports. If a person regularly, systematically engaged in such physical activity, then a wide beautiful torso and relief muscle mass is ensured, - says the expert.
According to the doctor, the result depends on the intensity of training, as well as individual properties of muscle tissue, which affects its change and increase.
- But in principle, in the period from six months to a year, it is realistic to achieve a noticeable improvement. Then people will look from the outside and say that the person has become better, more beautiful, looks more youthful and sexy, - suggests the expert.
The swimming pool is the most ideal place for the formation of a beautiful figure, because in the water the body weighs lighter, and therefore all the loads are carried more adequately. At the same time, as the expert emphasizes, almost all muscle groups are involved.
As for pull-ups and push-ups, in this case, the doctor advises to dynamically distribute the load. Thus, with an excess of push-ups can increase the thoracic kyphosis, from which there will be a slight slouch. Power exercises is important to alternate with stretching exercises, involving in the activity of all muscle groups.
If a person wants to pick up a set of exercises for himself, the neurologist recommends to contact a fitness trainer or a specialist in physical therapy - depending on the initial state of health. They will choose a complex that can be performed and will help to achieve a visual improvement of the figure without harming your health.
- Shoulders, or, in the language of coaches and athletes, deltoids, are divided into anterior, middle and posterior bundles. For their development there is a huge number of exercises that have become an undisputed classic of "iron sport" - barbell press from the chest standing or sitting, dumbbells standing dumbbells apart and a dozen others- told "Izvestia" weightlifting coach Valery Demin.
The athlete emphasizes that in terms of growth deltoid muscles do not differ from all other muscles, which means that their growth will be noticeable after a few months of active training with weights. But it should be done under the control of experienced specialists.
Injections can increase the volume and visual width of the shoulders, but this method will not give a person strength and health, and the unnaturalness of the forms can be noticeable, complements the top trainer of the gym network of fitness clubs Pride Fitness Vladimir Belokopytov.
- Natural muscles always look more attractive and harmonious. To achieve the desired effect of shoulder width, focus on strengthening your deltoids, as well as your back and chest muscles. Include in your workouts both basic and isolated exercises - various presses, swings and pulls," comments Belokopytov.
The top trainer also advises not to forget about the importance of recovery after training and proper nutrition. Only a comprehensive approach will allow you to achieve maximum results in the shortest possible time, emphasizes the expert.
