Today, May 12, the world celebrates International Nurses Day. This date is no coincidence: today is the birthday of Florence Nightingale — the woman who organized the world’s first team of nurses.

Dear colleagues, I thank you for your work; for following orders even when our handwriting is unreadable; for having our backs and sometimes whispering: “Doctor, the patient is hungry / upset / has been through a tragedy / hasn’t slept — please check again…”; for staying late with us after work; for worrying whether the doctor has had time to eat; for supporting us in difficult cases; and for making our teamwork comfortable and smooth!

On behalf of all patients, I thank you for your boundless patience, professionalism, and huge heart.

My dear girls (that’s just how it is in our team 😍) — without you, I feel like I have no hands.

Bruxism is not just teeth grinding, but hyperactivity of the chewing muscles that move the jaw.
It occurs due to stress, malocclusion, occlusal imbalances and overstrain of the nervous system. Patients often experience — in the morning or evening, depending on the type of bruxism — muscle fatigue, headache, discomfort in the temporomandibular joint and increased sensitivity of the teeth.

Long-term bruxism also affects the appearance: the masseter muscle increases, the contour of the lower jaw becomes more massive, asymmetry and tension in the parotid area may appear. The teeth gradually wear down and become more vulnerable. Overloading the periodontal ligament can lead to gum disease and even tooth mobility.

When working with bruxism, I always use a comprehensive approach: I assess the degree of muscle hypertonicity, facial symmetry, the condition of the temporomandibular joint, the quality of occlusion and individual triggers. If necessary, I recommend consultations with a dentist, neurologist or orthopedist to influence not only the symptoms, but also the cause.

Often, the key stage of treatment is the delicate injection of botulinum toxin into the masticatory muscles.

This reduces the pathological force of compression, relieves tension, protects the teeth and returns the lower third to more natural proportions - without disrupting the chewing function.

Patients usually notice relief in the first weeks: less tension, better sleep, reduced headaches and comfort in the lower part of the face.

💌 If you notice a habit of clenching your teeth or feel tension in the jaw and temples - I invite you to a consultation. We will choose a comprehensive solution just for you!

Correction of the lower third of the face

When working with the contour of the lower jaw, it is important to focus not only on the visible area, but also on the deep anatomical features of the patient.
In some people with a changed bite (for example, with a class II bite), age-related changes in the lower third may manifest themselves faster: the jaw line becomes blurred, soft tissue droops, and volume loss in the chin area appears.

This was the situation with this patient.
In order to restore the harmony of the profile, we worked not only with the lower jaw line, but also with the volume of the chin. This allowed us to balance the proportions and return clarity and elegance to the face.

I always adhere to a comprehensive approach.
First, an analysis of the proportions of the face and the ratio of the jaws is performed. If necessary, I recommend consulting a dentist or orthodontist. Only after that is the optimal individual correction scheme determined.

My goal is not to change your features, but to delicately emphasize your natural harmony.

I invite you to a consultation.
Together we will analyze the anatomy of your lower third of the face and determine which steps will be most effective for you.

🌟Franca Viola is a Sicilian woman who became famous in the 1960s in Italy for refusing a “rehabilitating marriage” (Italian: matrimonio riparatore) to her ra**st after being kidnapped, held hostage for over one week, and r***d frequently , she was 17!!!
She is considered to be the first Italian woman who had been r***d to publicly refuse marriage. She and her family successfully prosecuted the ra**st. The trial had a wide resonance in Italy, as Viola’s behavior clashed with traditional social conventions in Southern Italy, whereby a woman would lose her honour if she refused to marry the man to whom she had lost her virginity. Franca Viola became a symbol of the cultural progress and emancipation of women in post-war Italy. 🌟This story is a reminder to us all. How many times have we agreed because we felt we ‘should’? Because we were frightened? Because everyone else was doing it?

Her example shouts: Your ‘no’ matters! Standing your ground isn’t stubbornness, it’s strength. Not giving up, even when the whole world tells you to surrender—that is true bravery.

Every time we go against the tide, we aren’t just standing up for ourselves. We are changing the rules for those who will come after us.

Botulinum toxin. Anatomy of facial expressions and facial harmonization

The muscles of our face are constantly working: we frown, smile, raise our eyebrows - and each such movement leaves micromarks on the skin. Over time, they turn into wrinkles.

The forehead area is especially sensitive to this. Here, the muscles have a different «vector of action»: 7 muscles pull the eyebrows down, and only one raises them up. Over the years, this balance shifts, and this is what leads not only to the appearance of horizontal wrinkles or «crow’s feet», but also to drooping eyebrows, drooping eyelids and a tired facial expression.

📌 The question is not only in a smooth forehead, but in the prevention of deep skin folds and drooping (ptosis) of the eyebrows.

Botulinum toxin was once used to create a «frozen» face without any facial expressions. The person could neither frown nor smile, and the forehead remained completely motionless.
I am glad that those times are behind us.

Today I use a completely different approach - harmonization of the face, not its «immobilization».
I work with small doses of botulinum toxin to preserve natural facial expressions, but turn off the muscles of negative emotions.
This allows you to remove a gloomy, tormented or angry expression, while maintaining the liveliness and naturalness of the face.

I always pay attention not only to the upper third, but also to the lower part of the face, because even with a perfectly relaxed forehead, the lower zone can convey tension, for example, an expression of irritation or contempt.

That is why I work on the principle of full face correction - harmonization of the entire face with botulinum toxin. This approach helps not only to reduce the activity of the muscles that create unwanted folds, but also to prevent sagging eyebrows, cheeks, and corners of the lips, maintaining a natural balance.

The result that I like to see in my patients is an open gaze, a harmonious face, and lively facial expressions without signs of fatigue or tension.

The middle third of the face is one of the most complex areas in terms of anatomical structure.

There are five layers of tissue in this area.
Very often, patients come to us not only with the problem of the nasolacrimal groove, but also with the mid-cheek groove.

This area is really difficult to correct, especially if a person is tired, exhausted or has lost a little weight. Even young girls often say: “I look tired because of this groove.”

To get a natural result, it is important to use the correct technique.
I prefer the cannula technique, which allows me to work delicately and safely. For young patients, I usually use a hyaluronic acid-based preparation, but the key is to inject it into the correct layer to avoid swelling after the procedure.

The photo shows the result of my patient. She is very satisfied, because she received a harmonious and natural result. The face looks fresh, rested and retains its natural features.
