Volumetric lifting aims to replenish lost volumes in the facial area, improving contours and restoring youthful features. Aging doesn’t only affect the skin, causing it to lose tension and elasticity, but also bone tissue (causing its atrophy) and subcutaneous fat tissue. As a result, features become more pronounced, and the face loses its soft oval shape. Cheeks sag, and the lower part of the face widens, disrupting the jawline. The triangle of youth, with cheekbones at the base, becomes inverted.
Hyaluronic acid volumetry procedures enable facial contouring without surgical intervention. The result is the restoration of volume in selected areas, evening out any asymmetries, refreshing and rejuvenating the appearance. The face regains the harmony of features, a radiant look, and the desired triangle of youth is within reach.
For specific anatomical facial structures in young individuals, the situation may be different. Unfortunately, not everyone naturally possesses beautifully contoured cheeks that can be enhanced with just a touch of blush. In such cases, where Mother Nature hasn’t been particularly generous, hyaluronic acid procedures provide a solution.
Procedure Overview:
Facial contouring is a relatively straightforward and safe procedure in the hands of an experienced doctor. It involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based filler into the deep layers of the skin in areas requiring augmentation using a needle or a flexible, blunt-tipped cannula. During the procedure, the patient may experience mild burning and a stretching sensation, but these discomforts quickly subside. Slight swelling and tissue tenderness at the injection sites typically diminish within 2–3 days after the procedure and usually do not interfere with daily activities.
Indications for the Procedure:
- Cheek contouring
- Enhancement of cheekbones
- Tear trough filling
- Restoring volume in the temple area (sunken temples)
- Jawline sculpting
- Chin contouring
