Facial aesthetics and contouring services
Facial contouring
Treatment method and purpose
- Contouring involves assessing and balancing facial proportions, such as the cheeks, jaw, and chin; it is not a single procedure. Based on your bone structure, soft tissue, and goals, the doctor selects a shaping plan; injectable or non-injectable services from this list may be used.
Suitable candidates and limitations
- People with disproportion or limited volume loss; perfect symmetry and changes to bone structure without surgery cannot be guaranteed.
Sessions, time to results, and longevity
- The number of sessions and longevity depend on the selected method; an assessment appointment is booked first, and the procedure is determined after examination.
Possible complications and safety considerations
- Risks depend on the selected procedure; fillers involve vascular occlusion and vision damage, while energy-based methods involve burns and discoloration.
Preparation before your visit
- At the examination, disclose your medical history, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold sores, medications, and recent procedures. Prescription medications, especially blood thinners, must not be stopped without medical advice. Active infection or inflammation in the area must be assessed before the procedure.
Post-treatment care and follow-up
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning, use sunscreen and restorative care as advised by your doctor, and do not pick at your skin. When you can resume makeup, exercise, and active skincare products depends on the treatment method and intensity.
