How faceplasty works: a detailed explanation

Faceplasty is a patented technique for natural rejuvenation and restoration of harmonious facial proportions. Our Academy teaches a method that combines the principles of osteopathy, biomechanics, soft manual techniques, and body wellness practices.

What is Dr. Ales Ulishchenko’s faceplasty method?

This approach is based on the idea that a youthful face is the result of a healthy spine, neck, bite, lymphatic system, and internal organs. Faceplasty views the body as a single chain, where the slightest imbalance in the body is reflected on the face.

The technique allows you to:

• restore facial contours, symmetry, and skin tone;
• remove swelling and improve lymph flow;
• reduce or completely eliminate wrinkles on the face and neck;
• remove bags and dark circles under the eyes;
• improve vision, breathing, and sleep;
• relieve migraines and muscle spasms;
• restore correct head position, improve posture, remove hump;
• improve gastrointestinal function and women’s health.

Unique techniques allow you not only to restore youthfulness to your face, but also to profoundly rebuild the health of your entire body. This is a new level of body therapy that combines modern knowledge, osteopathic principles, and a scientific approach. Proof of the effectiveness of this technique can be found in the reviews of Faceplasty Club USA, which you can find on our website. 

How the method works

When the symmetry of the body, the functioning of the lymphatic system, the temporomandibular joint and the biomechanics of the neck are disrupted, the face begins to “age” prematurely. This is why classic massage or cosmetology only works partially.

The Faceplasty program for reducing puffiness, wrinkles, and sagging in the cheekbones, cheeks, and chin allows you to work on several levels at once:

• Cranial — correction of micro-movements of the skull bones

• Fascial — restoration of soft tissue elasticity

• Muscular — relief of deep spasms and hypertonicity

• Postural — posture alignment, neck release

• Visceral — improvement of the gastrointestinal tract and diaphragm function. 

Dr. Ulishchenko’s technique is based on three basic principles:

1. Integrity — it is impossible to rejuvenate the face separately from the body. Therefore, the work includes: correction of the cervical spine, alignment of the spine, work with the chest, restoration of breathing rhythms.

2. Symmetry rehabilitation

The method restores the proportions that were laid down by nature. It is important to support the face independently by doing faceplasty exercises for the cheekbones, forehead, and double chin. Be able to correctly apply osteopathy and faceplasty techniques at home. 

Basic techniques and their effects

Key practices and how they affect the face:

1. Myofascial release: releasing tension from the muscles

This technique is aimed at relieving hypertonicity in the deep muscles of the face, masticatory muscles, sublingual area, and neck. It releases areas with fixed tightness, improves blood supply to tissues, lowers blood pressure, eliminates wrinkles, and removes imbalances that deform the oval of the face.

2. Gentle manual correction: restoring natural contours

These are subtle osteopathic techniques that correct the position of the cheekbones, remove tension in the diaphragm, neck, and temporomandibular joint, and eliminate asymmetry through faceplasty for natural jawline. 

The effects of gentle manual corrections enhance the expressiveness of the cheekbones, reduce nasolabial folds, and restore symmetry.

3. Taping: stabilization, lymphatic drainage, and consolidation of results

This method involves working with microcirculation, edema, and restoring normal muscle-fascial balance.

The detailed technique of faceplasty taping is explained in a separate module of the course. The final effect: reduction of morning puffiness, improvement of microcirculation, stabilization of the result after manual techniques, and a more defined oval face. 

4. Body therapy: working with the chest, neck, and feet. But one of the most important details of a specialist’s work is the connection between posture and the face in faceplasty. 

When posture is impaired, there is a shift in the center of gravity, neck overload, changes in breathing, and tension in the fascia. All of this is reflected on the face: a double chin forms, the corners of the mouth and the oval of the face droop, folds in the nasolabial area intensify, and blood circulation and lymph flow deteriorate.

Before choosing a set of techniques, it is important to consider your age and skin type. For example, there are certain nuances to the faceplasty technique for black skin. Since dark skin is often denser, it is necessary to focus on gradual relaxation rather than intense manipulation. The technique enhances the natural density of the skin, improves the contour without the risk of color imbalance, and combats ethnic changes. For example, narrowing of the cheekbones. 

When it comes to age, the question may arise: why is faceplasty effective for men over 40 and how does it work? 

The male face is structural, dense, with pronounced bone lines.

When posture is compromised, the changes become particularly noticeable:

• the lower jaw loses its definition,
• the face swells,
• the tension in the chewing muscles increases, 
• heavy physical exertion or, conversely, a sedentary lifestyle lead to problems with the neck, back, and lumbar region, which affects the rate of facial aging. 

To restore youthfulness, it is necessary to align the neck and posture, release the chest from tension, and work on the trapezius muscle. A comprehensive approach gives a quick and noticeable effect, as it restores the structure of the muscles, fascia, and temporomandibular joint. 

Correcting only the face, without correcting posture and other ligamentous structures, has a short-term effect. Faceplasty works holistically: by aligning the body, the face is rejuvenated, and vice versa.

Results after faceplasty

Faceplasty has a comprehensive effect on the face, neck, and even the body, as the body is a single system. The face reflects the state of posture and tension throughout the body—this has been proven and observed in practice by thousands of our graduates. 

Faceplasty course: what to expect? 

• The double chin disappears due to the correction of the masticatory muscles, normalization of lymph flow, elimination of stooped posture, and work with the cervical and thoracic regions.
• Swelling goes away, the face becomes lifted and glows with health — the lymph removes stagnant fluid, improving microcirculation and reducing dark circles under the eyes.
• The eyelids and cheekbones are lifted, and the chin becomes more defined — osteopathic techniques help restore the musculoskeletal structure, providing a natural lift without surgery.
• The abdomen stops “protruding” due to work with the diaphragm and pelvis, correction of internal organs, straightening of posture, and relaxation of the abdominal cavity.
• Cellulite disappears — poor blood circulation and lymph flow destroy stagnant areas, which is especially noticeable on the thighs and buttocks.
• Improved posture — we eliminate slouching by aligning the spine and reducing the load on the face, which indirectly eliminates wrinkles.

Faceplasty also reduces nasolabial folds, helps improve blood circulation, restores symmetry, and removes tension that has built up over the years. Clients often note not only visual changes, but also an emotional uplift — reduced stress, improved well-being, and overall health. For example, a reduction in headaches from neck tension and an increase in immunity. 

Results: faceplasty vs. facial yoga

Facial yoga is a series of exercises that strengthen muscles and improve skin tone. Faceplasty is a deeper osteopathic approach that includes lymphatic drainage, bone correction, and symmetry. These two approaches do not compete with each other but complement each other for even faster results. For example, after working on the muscle structures of the face and body, face yoga helps to consolidate the results of muscle training, strengthening the cheekbones after osteopathic correction. 

Maintaining youthfulness at home on your own 

Daily faceplasty routine to maintain youthfulness:

1. Faceplasty exercise to eliminate a double chin: 

Keep your back straight, pull the top of your head up, and relax your lower jaw. Perform slow “chin swimming” back and forth to feel the front of your neck stretching. Do 10-12 repetitions.

Result: the submandibular area is tightened, and the facial contours become more defined.

2. Restoration and deep relaxation

By evening, the tissues become overstretched. During this period, gentle, slow techniques are important.

Relax the chewing muscles:

place your palms on your cheeks and gently make circular movements for 1 minute on each side, applying slight pressure to improve blood circulation and lymph flow.

3. Light taping for the chin

Used to reduce swelling, stabilize the corners of the lower jaw, and relax the chewing muscles. 

Apply long strips of tape from the middle of the chin to the ears. The face itself should not be stretched or creased. After applying the tape, smooth it with your fingers to warm up the muscles a little and leave it on for several hours.
