What is facial contouring & slimming?

Facial contouring and slimming refer to enhancing facial features using specific procedures that may focus on defining the jawline, reducing the appearance of fatty deposits, replacing lost volume, tightening sagging skin, and more.

Ageing, genetics, and lifestyle factors can contribute to undesired volume or loss of definition. Procedures used for facial contouring and slimming may target areas including the cheeks, chin, and neck to create a more youthful appearance. At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, we provide surgical and non-surgical solutions for facial contouring and slimming tailored to individual needs and aesthetic goals.

Factors influencing changes in facial aesthetics

At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, we specialise in assessing facial aesthetics and providing innovative, tailored treatments to treat various conditions and help patients achieve their aesthetic goals.

As we age, our faces undergo structural changes, including loss of bone and fat tissue support and increased muscle laxity. These changes can lead to a tired, or less-defined appearance. Genetic factors, asymmetrical facial shapes, and fatty deposits also contribute to facial aesthetic concerns.

With decades of experience in aesthetic medicine, and the use of cutting-edge treatments, we help patients effectively manage conditions that affect facial aesthetics and enhance natural beauty and confidence.

Facial Volume Loss

Facial volume loss occurs due to the natural ageing process, leading to a hollow or sunken appearance. This can impact overall facial harmony and youthfulness. Our treatments aim to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours and achieve a balanced, youthful look.

Asymmetrical Facial Shape

Asymmetrical facial shapes can be due to genetics or uneven muscle development. This condition can affect facial harmony and aesthetics. Our targeted treatments are designed to balance facial proportions, enhance symmetry, and create a more harmonious and attractive appearance.

Fatty Deposits

Fatty deposits, particularly in areas like the cheeks and jawline, can lead to a fuller, less defined appearance. Our facial slimming treatments aim to reduce these deposits, sculpting a more contoured and refined facial profile, tailored to your specific goals.

Skin Sagging

Skin sagging not only results from facial volume loss but also from decreased collagen and elastin, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Our advanced treatments work to tighten and lift the skin, restoring its youthful resilience and giving the face a rejuvenated, uplifted appearance.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are common signs of ageing, often exacerbated by environmental factors. Our specialised treatments smooth these lines, rejuvenating the skin’s texture and promoting a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Loss of Bone structure

Loss of bone structure due to ageing can lead to diminished facial support and definition. Our treatments aim to restore structural integrity by enhancing facial contours and providing a more defined and youthful appearance tailored to your aesthetic goals.

Double Chin (Submental Fat)

Submental fat causes a double chin and can affect the jawline’s definition. Our targeted treatments work to reduce this fat, sculpting a more defined and attractive jawline to enhance your overall facial profile and uplift your appearance.

Frequently asked questions about facial contouring & slimming

What causes facial volume loss?

Facial volume loss is primarily caused by the natural ageing process, which reduces collagen and fat in the skin, leading to a hollow or sunken appearance. Environmental factors, such as sun exposure and lifestyle habits, can accelerate this process. Proper skincare and targeted treatments can help mitigate these effects and restore volume.

How to get rid of fatty deposits in cheeks and jawline

Reducing fatty deposits in the cheeks and jawline can significantly enhance facial contours and create a more defined appearance.

One effective approach is using non-surgical treatments like Morpheus8™, a microneedling and radiofrequency device that remodels deeper layers of the skin and reduces fat.

Consult with a qualified aesthetic specialist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

How to get rid of a double chin

At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, we offer several effective treatments to address double chins and enhance your facial profile.

Our non-surgical options include FORMA™ Lift (Radiofrequency) and Morpheus8™, which which utilise advanced technology to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production. For those seeking immediate results, our thread lift procedure can provide instant lifting and contouring effects to the lower face and neck area.

In cases where more significant changes are desired, we may recommend facial fat grafting or facelift surgery, which can dramatically reshape the jawline and neck area.

How long do facial slimming and contouring results last?

The longevity of face slimming and contouring results vary by the type of treatment. Non-surgical options like dermal fillers typically last 12 to 18 months, while procedures such as Morpheus8™ and FORMA™ Lift (Radiofrequency) can provide lasting results with regular maintenance treatments. Surgical options like facelifts offer more permanent results.

Factors such as skin condition, the treated area, and lifestyle choices can affect the duration. Regular consultations with your aesthetic specialist ensure optimal and sustained outcomes.

What are the best facial contouring & slimming treatments?

No single treatment stands out as the best for facial contouring and slimming; its effectiveness depends on your specific needs, the severity of the condition, and lifestyle factors. A comprehensive consultation with a professional ensures a tailored approach.

The following treatments deliver excellent results for facial contouring & contouring:

Hybrid Facial Fillers

Hybrid facial fillers combine different types of dermal fillers to restore facial volume and contour. This treatment enhances facial symmetry and structure by addressing multiple layers of the skin, from deep tissue to superficial areas. Hybrid fillers are ideal for those seeking a non-surgical solution to achieve a more defined and youthful appearance.

FORMA™ Lift (Radiofrequency)

FORMA™ Lift (Radiofrequency) is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and reduce fat. This procedure tightens and contours the skin, making it an excellent option for facial slimming. It’s suitable for various areas of the face, including the cheeks and jawline, offering a firmer, more sculpted look.

Morpheus8™

Morpheus8™ is an advanced microneedling treatment combined with radiofrequency energy. It targets deep layers of the skin to remodel and contour the face, reducing fat deposits and tightening the skin. This innovative procedure provides a comprehensive solution for facial slimming and contouring, enhancing the overall facial structure.

Thread Lift

Thread Lifts use dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. This treatment provides an immediate contouring effect, improving facial definition without the need for surgery. The procedure involves carefully inserting thin, biocompatible threads beneath the skin to elevate and reposition facial tissues, creating a more youthful and defined appearance.

Facial Fat Grafting

Facial Fat Grafting, also known as lipofilling, restores lost facial volume using the patient’s own fat cells. This technique addresses structural facial concerns by enhancing contours and filling areas that have lost volume due to ageing. Lipofilling provides natural-looking results, improving facial symmetry and creating a more youthful appearance.

Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a surgical procedure that provides long-lasting and dramatic results by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues. This treatment effectively reduces sagging, smooths deep wrinkles, and restores youthful contours to the face and neck. A facelift is ideal for those seeking significant and permanent improvements in facial definition and overall appearance.

BELLA Lift

The BELLA Lift is a signature surgical procedure pioneered by Dr Nerina Wilkinson, designed to address the visible signs of ageing in the mid-face. This relatively minor surgery focuses on lifting the jowls, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The BELLA Lift is ideal for patients seeking a targeted approach to enhance mid-face contours and can be performed alone or combined with other procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
