Well, the good news is, there is. Facial contouring surgery is a procedure designed to enhance your facial features and make the most of your natural beauty.

Why do people have face contouring?

Facial contouring isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about confidence and self-assurance. By sculpting your facial features, you can achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

Most patients are prompted to change their appearance because of insecurities. But treatment doesn’t need to be drastic in order to make a difference.

The ageing process can also be a catalyst for some patients to explore their options for enhancing their appearance. As the skin loses its elasticity with age, it can result in the descent of the mid-face.

However, facial contouring isn’t only limited to patients of a certain age. You may feel that a contouring procedure can give you the cheeks and jawline you feel you’ve never quite had.

 

What facial contouring treatments are available?

A treatment plan can differ from one patient to the other. A skilled surgeon will be able to tailor treatments to meet the needs of their patient.

Below are just some of the treatments available from surgeons like Dominic Bray, which can form part of a facial contouring treatment plan.

Facial implants

From cheek implants to chin implants – even if you haven’t been blessed with the most striking bone structure, reshaping your face is possible with the use of implants.

Fat transfer

As the name suggests, this procedure involves taking fat from one area of the body and transferring it to another. Fat transfer to the face can help create more definition of your natural contours.

Buccal fat removal

Removing the buccal fat pad has become a popular procedure to create a more defined hollow in the cheeks and around the jowl.

Chin augmentation

Contouring the chin can have a dramatic impact on the appearance of your other facial features as the eye is drawn to the nose and jaw. Chin augmentation can be achieved through the use of dermal filler or chin implants.

Facial micro liposuction

Liposuction is a technique that can work well on the face in areas where fat accumulates – namely around the jowls, jawline and under the chin.

 

Non-surgical facial contouring treatment

If the thought of going under the knife is just not appealing, there are facial contouring procedures that are non-surgical.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler is a gel-like substance that contains hyaluronic acid – a substance that’s naturally produced by the body. It can be used to plump lax skin or provide further volume around the mouth, jaw and lips.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

If your nose is of particular concern, a non-surgical nose job is an option. Techniques involve using dermal filler to change the shape of the nose. Results are not permanent.
