What is Face Contouring?

A Face Contouring changes the structural parts of the face like the chin, cheeks, or jaw. It is performed by implant injection (placement). This procedure is able to make the face balanced by filling and elevating the cheekbones, making the chin more prominent, or making the jawline wider and stronger. If you are considering facial contouring, think about the changes you want to make to your face and provide clear photos to your doctor to help him or her realization to what you want to look like.

Shapes of the different parts of the face have a significant effect on the overall image of the face. The number of face contouring operations are different for every person. There are cases in which one only needs a single operation to achieve the ideal face, and there are cases that might need two or more face contouring procedures. To determine the overall characteristics of your face, a 3D-CT scan before deciding on the type of surgery is very helpful. It is important to get a consultation with your surgeon. And it is important that the clinic has appropriate and safe equipment for this surgery.

Face contouring involves surgical procedures such as incorporating skin tightening, fat transfers, and implants.

The Procedure

Surgical contouring treatments

Chin surgery

An incision is made inside the lower lip or an external incision in the skin under the chin. The doctor lifts the chin bone tissue by making a hole for the implant, which is usually about two inches wide. The implant is positioned in place and sutured. This method usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour.

Cheek surgery

An incision is made inside the upper lip. If you also plan to have a facelift or forehead lift, your doctor will usually use an external incision to perform this procedure. The implant is placed between the cheek tissue and the cheekbone and sutured to the site. This procedure usually takes an hour.

Maxillofacial Surgery

The incision is made inside the mouth and along the mandible, and the implant is placed directly on the mandible and under the tissue. This procedure usually takes between one and two hours. Because facial implants are usually placed inside the mouth, the gums and mouth must be healthy.
