Are you on trend with facial contouring?

Are you on trend with facial contouring?

Are you on trend with facial contouring or are you being left behind?

Contouring is very much sought after, even make up artists are trying to achieve this effect. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian are getting that contoured look to create the perfect facial bone structure and facial symmetry with dermal filler, Botox and skin tightening. More defined cheek bones, tight chiselled jaw line and a much loved heart shaped face gives the youthfulness we all crave.

A combination of treatments can create this look without seeking make up artists and the hassle of applying multiple layers of make up every day.

If you are starting to notice the signs of loose skin and hollows around the mid face, lower face and jawline, let me and my team at North Wales Aesthetics Clinic help you.

By replacing lost volume in these specific areas can lift and replenish what is lost with the natural ageing process. I can help you to achieve facial contouring and put the structure back into your face.

Here are my 7 steps to achieve this look:

Step 1.

Firstly, often overlooked, temple hollows age the face. Temple hollows are one major sign of facial ageing and treatment with dermal filler can restore the roundness that brings back the youthfulness to the face. A simple easy treatment with highly pleasing results.

Step 2.

Secondly, I add dermal filler to rejuvenate the cheek and under eye area. Dermal filler will fill in hollows right across the mid face and under eye troughs smoothing out sagging skin and wrinkles that is a normal ageing process.

This procedure can give a stunning effect on improving the youthfulness of the mid face area. It is common for our patients to have filler from the temples across the cheekbones and under eyes for complete rejuvenation that can take years off your appearance.

Step 3.

As we reach our forties, it is natural for the mid face cheek muscle to drop towards the jawline pushing the jowl to drop and create a U shape hollow that separates the chin from the jawline. A wavy sagging jawline and U shape hollows are best treated with dermal filler. Precise placement of the filler can give a lovely straight tight jawline that comes with youth. A straight jawline from ear to ear will give the effect of a facelift without having surgery.

Step 4.

A receding chin and a dimpling chin can affect the overall look of your jawline. The chin muscle becomes hyper-mobile and dimples as we talk and this creases the skin and over time deep wrinkles appear. Being a muscle relaxant, Botox is the ideal treatment to keep the chin still and dimple free. In turn the chin looks smooth and allows creases and wrinkles to fade away.

Step 5.

Treating the mouth area is a must when trying to turn back the years. Plumping the lip line just a little, can take 5 years off and a great way to start if you are looking to turn back the years.

Lips lose plumpness and become flat with age. Dermal filler can add a definition to the lip line preventing lipstick bleed that we often see in the older generation. Before having filler to lips, it is vital that you view genuine before and after photography of my work to show you that I do not allows the filler to infiltrate the peri-oral area (moustache area) that gives the dreaded trout pout look. I strives for a natural soft look and I will show you a series of photography of my clients to confirm this and let you to see the beautifully natural standard of my work. (All my clients have given permission to show their photography to you).

Step 6.

Down turned corners of the mouth and marionette or puppet lines develop when the mid face sags as we get older pushing the corners of the mouth down. This must be addressed as they can make us have the “fed up all day look”. Dermal filler can lift and put everything back into the right place by a highly skilled practitioner.

Step 7.

Tighten the skin with profhilo skin tightening injections and over the months watch your skin become firm, lifted and smoother. A fabulous treatment to finish off, just like icing the cake!

I have decades of experience of successfully and safely treating my patients with these advanced procedure. If you are considering turning back the clock, it is vital that you have a thorough consultation and assessment, see a series of my before and after patients photography and this will give you a better idea of what you can achieve, the standard of my work and what you can look like going forward.
