Face contouring focuses on improving the shape, harmony and definition of facial features. Many people feel that certain areas of their face look flat, round or less defined than they would like. Others may notice changes with age, such as loss of volume or a softer jawline. Face contouring treatments reshape and balance the face to create a more sculpted and refined appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.
At the practice of Dr. Matteo Vigo, face contouring is always personalised. Every face has its own structure, proportions and character. Dr. Vigo analyses your features carefully and recommends treatments that enhance your natural beauty while keeping the result subtle and elegant.
Why patients consider face contouring
Face contouring can address many concerns, including:
- A round or undefined facial shape
- Lack of jawline definition
- Flat cheeks or mid face volume loss
- Early signs of sagging
- Chin that appears small or recessed
- Asymmetry between facial features
- Hollow areas due to ageing or weight changes
Some seek soft and subtle shaping, while others prefer sharper definition. The approach depends entirely on your goals.
Personalised contouring options
Face contouring may include one or several treatments. Dr. Vigo selects the ideal combination based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
Jawline contouring
Jawline contouring creates a sharper and more defined lower face. Dermal fillers or structural enhancement techniques can build gentle angles and symmetry. For patients with excess fat beneath the chin, liposuction or skin tightening may be recommended to improve the jawline shape further.
Chin enhancement
A small or recessed chin can make the face appear unbalanced. Chin augmentation with fillers or implants improves projection and restores harmony between the lower face and the profile. This subtle change can significantly influence the entire facial structure.
Cheek enhancement
The cheeks play an important role in facial shape. Well positioned cheek contouring can lift the mid face, improve definition and restore youthful volume. Treatments are performed with careful technique to avoid an overfilled look and maintain softness.
Lower face refinement
Loss of structure around the mouth and jaw can create folds or heaviness. Selective contouring and energy based tightening can smooth these areas and create a cleaner, more sculpted appearance.
Non surgical facial slimming
For patients with a fuller or wider lower face, selective muscle treatments or fat reduction can create a softer and more tapered contour. This is popular for achieving a slimmer facial shape without surgery.
How Dr. Vigo designs your treatment
A successful contouring plan depends on understanding the balance of all facial features. During your consultation, Dr. Vigo evaluates your:
- Facial angles
- Bone structure
- Soft tissue volume
- Skin quality
- Goals and aesthetic preferences
He then creates a personalised plan that enhances your natural anatomy rather than changing it completely.
You will receive clear explanations of each recommended treatment so you feel confident and informed.
What to expect during treatment
Most non surgical face contouring procedures are performed with minimal discomfort. Topical numbing or local anaesthesia may be used depending on the technique.
For surgical options, such as chin implants or facial liposuction, a more structured plan will be discussed, including preparation and aftercare.
Treatments are designed to improve definition gradually while keeping the face expressive and natural.
Recovery and results
Non surgical contouring usually involves very little downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a short period. Surgical contouring may require a brief recovery based on the procedure.
Benefits include:
- A more sculpted facial shape
- Sharper jawline or chin definition
- Restored balance between facial features
- Improved symmetry
- A refreshed and more youthful appearance
Results can be subtle or more defined depending on your goals.
