Face Contouring

Treatment

Face Contouring

Face contouring reshapes and defines your cheeks, chin and jawline without surgery. Your doctor combines treatments such as dermal fillers and skin tightening in one plan.

Benefits

Suitable Candidates

Procedure

Your doctor assesses your bone structure, volume and skin quality. You agree a plan together. A numbing cream goes on first. Your doctor then treats each area in turn. The session takes 30 to 60 minutes.

Recovery

Expect mild swelling or small bruises for 1 to 3 days after filler. Most people return to normal activity the same day. Skip intense exercise, heat and alcohol for 24 hours. The final shape shows at around 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is face contouring the same as fillers?
No. Fillers are one tool. A contouring plan often combines fillers with skin tightening or thread lifting.
Most techniques last 9 to 18 months. Duration depends on the technique, the area and your metabolism. Read the face contouring guide.
Most people feel mild pressure. Numbing cream reduces discomfort.
Common side effects are swelling, bruising and tenderness. Rare risks include lumps, infection and a blocked blood vessel. Treatment by a licensed doctor lowers these risks.
