What Is Facial Contouring and What Does It Offer?

Facial contouring is one of the fastest growing non-invasive and non-surgical facial reconfiguration techniques that’s currently taking the plastic surgery industry by storm. It’s a highly effective method of enhancing facial features and reducing the appearance of the signs of aging. As you age, your skin naturally loses elasticity causing it to sag and develop wrinkles. This is most noticeable in the face, which is why more and more people are proactively seeking preventative and reactionary treatments to help improve their appearances. Continue reading to learn all about how face sculpting procedures can help you achieve the effortless and youthful look you desire.

Facial sculpting is a procedure through which contours of the face are reshaped by removing the deposits of fat under the skin giving a younger looking face. It also includes reshaping the bone and cartilage surgically or by applying filler injections to create fullness on the face.1

OPTIONS:-
Various therapeutic options are available under the term of facial sculpting. The treatment is chosen according to the age of the individual, damage to the skin and presence of any underlying disease. Broadly, the treatment options are of 2 types:-

Non-surgical
The non-surgical option includes injectable fillers which are extremely common today. The greatest advantage they offer are the minimal time they consume. These procedures need fewer sittings, side effects are lesser and the recovery time is faster. The disadvantage they hold is they are less predictable, less impressive and their results last not more than a few months.

Surgical
Liposuction via laser
Facial sculpting performed by laser involves melting of the fat beneath the skin by controlled application of energy beams. The melted fat is then either removed manually or absorbed by the body. Some skin contraction is expected to happen as extreme heat is generated under the skin surface. This procedure is usually preferred by patients as it is pocket friendly and side effects are few, but requires multiple sittings. The results usually last for few months.

Plastic surgery
A surgery to any part of the body holds risk. This is the reason individuals going in for facial sculpting via surgery have to go through a CT scan first. The CT scan provides images of the bone and soft tissues of the face which helps the surgeon decide the plan of treatment. The surgery can be done with the help of implants and by trimming down the bone. The most common areas on the face which are opted for surgical repair are the cheekbones, nose, forehead, chin, cheek fat and the lips.Facial surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and hence a complete fitness certificate is required for the individual undergoing the procedure. The results are permanent. Recovery takes a few weeks and it’s an expensive procedure.

All procedures involve some risks but the pros should outweigh the cons and one must should seek only professional help at a certified plastic /cosmetology clinic.

Different Types of Facial Contouring Techniques

There are a number of different types of facial contouring techniques and treatments that target specific parts of the face to help patients look their absolute best. The type of facial surgery you choose to have depends largely on parts of your face that need to be improved and what your personal goals are.

Facial Implants

Facial implants offer a wide range of contouring, uplifting, and redefining options across all areas of the face including the lips, jaw line, eyebrows, cheeks, nose, and chin. The point of undergoing this type of facial augmentation is to tighten, tone, and in some cases remove sagging skin and reduce the signs of aging by render a smoother and more voluminous result.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a procedure that involves extracting fat cells from other parts of the body such as the buttocks, thighs, belly and then liquefying so that it can be injected in other parts of the body that need more volume (usually the face).

Facial Liposuction

Facial liposuction is a minimally invasive form of facial surgery in which excess fat cells are removed from parts of your face that could use more definition.

Lip Contouring

This procedure is perfect for patients who are intent on contouring or plumping up the appearance of their lips using simple and non-invasive treatments. Qualified facial plastic surgeons use dermal filler injections containing hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally produced by the body anyway, to add volume to thin, shapeless, and pale lips.

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation or implants are especially popular among male patients because they’re an excellent way to add more definition to your jaw line, making it look much stronger and more masculine. For women, adding volume to the chin can help create a softer and more feminine look.

Cheek Augmentation

The nature of cheek augmentation procedureshas endured a lot of changes over the years. Many plastic surgeons tend to stay away from putting in cheek implants these days because the facial muscles are constantly evolving and strengthening over time. Modern procedures involve simply reshaping or remodeling the existing cheek structure or injecting or removing fat cells that are taken directly from the body.

Ear Lobe Surgery

Ear lobe surgery, otherwise known as otoplasty, is a highly popular non-invasive procedure that involves pinning back and reshaping the ears so that they don’t protrude outward as much as they did before.

Neck and Brow Lift

For a lot of patients—women in particular—the neck and eyebrows are a major point of contention as they get older. These are the parts of the body that typically showcase the most prominent signs of aging including the formation of severe wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and deep brow lines thanks to years of making facial expressions. Fortunately, neck lifts and brow lifts are easy and minimally invasive procedures that can help alleviate these issues!
