Uma kunempendulo yengcindezi laphaya, nginayo. Ngiphathwa yikhanda lengcindezi. Umzimba wami uyaqina futhi nemisipha yami iyaqaqamba. Ngaze ngalahlekelwa ithoni lezinwele ngenxa yengcindezi ngesikhathi ngisebenza kanzima (yakhula, ngiyabonga unkulunkulu).

Kodwa esinye sezimpawu zengcindezi eziphikelelayo engibhekana nazo ukuhlanganisa imihlathi nokugedla amazinyo—hhayi nje ngezikhathi zokucindezeleka, kodwa lapho ngilele futhi ngingazi nokuthi ngenzani. Angingedwa kulokhu-phakathi kwamaphesenti ama-8 nama-20 wabantu abadala abahlushwa ukuphaphama noma ukulala ukugaya. Odokotela ngokujwayelekile batshela ama-jnc clenchers namazinyo okugaya amazinyo ukucindezela kancane (ukube bekulula kanjalo nje…) noma bathole i-mouth guard (enhle). Kepha uma unikezwe lapho umphakathi wethu umi khona manje ku-o-meter ehlangene, abantu abaningi baphendukela kwesinye isixazululo: iBotox.

Yebo, iBotox. Uhlobo olufanayo lwabantu be-Botox bebelokhu bedubula ebusweni babo amashumi eminyaka ukuze basuse imibimbi nemigqa eshwabene. Yize kungacaci kahle ukuthi bangaki abantu abafuna iBotox-okuhlala kuyindlela ehamba phambili yezimonyo e-United States-yokunciphisa ukucindezeleka, "isibalo seziguli siye saphindeka kabili minyaka yonke kule minyaka embalwa edlule," kusho uStafford UBroumand, MD, we-740 Park Plastic Surgery eNew York City. "Bayanda abantu abafundiswayo ukuthi yini iBotox engayenza ngaphandle kokulungisa imibimbi."

I-protein ye-botulinum toxin (i-Botox igama lomkhiqizo) isebenza ngokubophezela kuma-receptors emisipha ukuze kuthi lapho inzwa ikhipha ikhemikhali eyenza izicubu zishise, ingashi. "Akusiqedi ncamashi imisipha," kuchaza uDkt. Broumand. "Akuvumeli nje ukuthi umfutho kagesi ovela ku-nerve ufinyelele emsipha."

Ngabe lokhu kuhlangene ngani ngempela nokubamba imihlathi okuhlobene nengcindezi? "Imisipha enyakazisa umhlathi ibizwa ngokuthi yi-masseter muscle," kusho uDkt Broumand. "Iqala kakhulu ikhuphuke ebunzini lakho futhi yehlele ngaphansi kwe-zygoma, i-cheekbone, bese ifaka emhlathini wakho. Ngakho lapho uvala umhlathi wakho, lesi sisipha siyafinyela. Futhi siyisisipha esinamandla esikhiqiza amandla amaningi."

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uma lawo mandla esetshenziselwa ukugoqa nokugaya, angenza umonakalo omkhulu-kusuka emazinyweni aqhekekile kuya ekuphazamisekeni kwe-temporomandibular joint (noma i-TMJ) okungaholela ekuphazanyisweni nasebuhlungwini obukhulu noma ekhanda. "Kodwa uma ujova i-Botox emsipha we-masseter eduze komhlathi, lapho inamathela khona, ngeke ibe namandla okugoqa njengoba okusho ukuthi awukwazi ukugoqa noma ukugaya kanzima," kusho uDkt. Ihhovisi lithole ukuthunyelwa kodokotela bamazinyo nakwabanye odokotela neziguli.

Ehhovisi likaDkt Broumand, wahlola ubuso bami futhi wanquma ukuthi iBotox emhlathini wami ingaba yisixazululo sokugaya kwami ​​emini nasebusuku. Ngifunde ukuthi umhlathi wami awulinganisi kancane-"olunye uhlangothi luyindilinga kancane, kanti olunye lunokudangala okuncane kulo," uDkt. Brumand wangitshela. Imisipha yami ayiphumi, ngakho-ke ayisebenzi ngokweqile, kepha iBotox inganikeza usizo. (Asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi i-Botox izosebenza kuso sonke isiguli, kusho uDkt. Brumand. “Kunamazinga ahlukene okuthuthukisa abantu abahlukene.” Ukuze ugaye kakhulu futhi ugoqe, kufanele kucatshangelwe ngokuhambisana nezinye izindlela zokwelapha ezinjengonogada bomlomo, imithi, noma ngisho nokwelapha. .) Wangijova kathathu noma ngapha nangapha ohlangothini ngalunye, okwangilimaza njengokuzihlaba ngephutha esiswini ngenkathi ngizama ukufaka ibhibhi lomjaho. Ngibe sengibamba umhlathi wami cishe imizuzu eyi-15 ngaphambi kokubuyela emhlabeni ngiphawule inqubo.

IBotox isebenza kahle kakhulu uma inqubo iphindaphindwa njalo ezinyangeni ezintathu, uDkt Broumand ungitshele ngaphambi kokuba ngihambe. (Ukwelashwa okukodwa kungabiza phakathi kuka-$500 no-$1,000, kuye ngokuthi ingakanani i-Botox edingekayo, esho.) Nokho, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, imisipha ingaba buthaka futhi imijovo ingase idingeke kancane kancane. "Kubantu abanemisipha ye-masseter enamandla kakhulu, engenza ubuso bubukeke bucishe bube yi-trapezoidal ngokumelene nesimo senhliziyo, sijova imisipha ukuze sinciphise umsebenzi wayo; ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lowo mzimba, ngaphandle kokuba nekhono lokungena, ama-atrophies noma ama-thins," kuchaza. "Uma i-atrophies iqhubeka, amandla emhlathi wakho ayoba mancane futhi nemisipha iyoba ncanyana."

Ngokuvamile kuthatha cishe izinsuku ezinhlanu ukubona imiphumela ye-Botox, futhi, kulokhu, kwakungafani nokuthi ngizozibuka esibukweni futhi ngibuke imibimbi yami ishelela. Kwakungaphezu kwalokho engingazange ngikuqaphele ngesonto elilandelayo-angivukanga ngizwa sengathi umhlathi wami wawuthole umsebenzi ebusuku futhi angizange ngiqaphele ubuhlungu bekhanda obuningi ngenkathi ngisebenza kukhompyutha yami usuku lonke. Ingabe kwakuyiBotox, noma isonto lomsebenzi elinengcindezi encane? Ngazizwa ngicindezelekile njengokujwayelekile, ngakho-ke ngithambekele ekutheni i-Botox okungenani ibe nento yokwenza nayo.
