What is it?
Every individual has a unique face shape influenced by factors such as bone structure, muscle tone and volume distribution. Some people may seek options to enhance or restore certain facial contours, whether for aesthetic preference or because of changes associated with ageing, injury or other causes.
Face shape treatments are medical procedures that may be considered following an individual assessment. Suitability, potential benefits, limitations, risks, and outcomes vary between patients.
How is it done?
Face shape treatments may involve non-surgical techniques such as injectable treatments, energy-based procedures, or thread-based procedures. The appropriate approach depends on your facial anatomy, concerns, medical history, and treatment goals.
A medical consultation is required before treatment. The doctor will assess your face, discuss suitable options, and explain the potential benefits, limitations, alternatives, possible risks, and expected recovery.
What should I know before and after the procedure?
Preparation and aftercare vary according to the treatment provided. Your doctor may advise changes to certain skincare products or medications. Do not stop any prescribed medication unless advised by your prescribing or treating doctor.
Temporary effects depend on the procedure and may include discomfort, redness, bruising, swelling or sensitivity. Less common complications may include infection, pigment changes, asymmetry or other procedure-specific effects. Your doctor will discuss the risks relevant to the proposed treatment.
Follow the aftercare instructions provided and attend any recommended follow-up appointments so that your recovery and any concerns can be reviewed.
Note: Results vary between individuals and no particular outcome can be guaranteed. A medical consultation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
