Ask an Esthetic Dentist : What is Facial Contouring?
Facial contouring is the latest trend in cosmetic surgery that can help you achieve your desired youthful, glowing look with a non-invasive, non-surgical technique. You’re able to enhance your cheek, chin, and jaw by inserting implants which can lead to higher cheekbones, adding fullness, or creating a more prominent facial structure. The goal of contouring is to reshape the face providing a natural yet smooth and youthful look.
There are a few types of contouring that can help you achieve the results you are looking for. The most common types are facial implants, fat grafting, facial liposuction, lip contouring, chin and cheek augmentation, and neck and brow lift. Your medical professional will be able to help you best understand which of these procedures will help you achieve your goals. It is important to consult with a professional prior to making any decisions, as it is key to ensure that you are confident in the size and shape of the changes that you plan to make. Your consultant will make sure that you are fully informed on the methods and benefits of each type of facial contouring so that you can make a decision that will help you reach your goals.
Facial implants
A common procedure that can help achieve a wide range of results in the lips, jawline, eyebrows, nose, chin, and cheeks. Implants primarily tighten and tone the face resulting in a smooth and voluminous reshaping of the face, reducing the signs of aging that can often occur on the face.
Fat grafting
Creates volume in the face by removing fat cells from other areas of the body to inject into the face, providing additional volume to the desired area.
Facial liposuction
like liposuction in other parts of the body and involves removing excess fat calls in the face, which provides a more defined facial structure.
Lip contouring
a common procedure that helps add volume or a plumping effect to the lips through the injection of
hyaluronic acid to add volume and shape.
Chin and cheek augmentation
procedures are used to create and shape the definition that appears in your chin or cheeks, leading to a defined and stronger look.
Neck and brow lifts
combat the signs of aging in these areas due to sagging skin and wrinkles. Neck and brow lifts are minimally invasive and are therefore one of the most popular forms of facial contouring.
If you’re considering contouring, the initial step involves consulting with a medical professional. They can assist in determining the most suitable method to achieve your desired outcomes.
