Facial contouring
The aim of facial contouring is to create a balanced harmony between the facial areas – cheeks, nose, lips, chin and jawline – with the help of muscle relaxants (botulinum) and fillers.
Indication
The proportions between the nose, upper and lower lips, chin and neck have a significant influence on the facial structure as well as the attractiveness, health and vitality of the facial expression.
Disturbing features such as flat cheeks, a chin that is too small or an undefined jawline can be congenital, but can also develop during the ageing process.
Treatment
Facial contouring with fillers and muscle relaxants can harmonise facial proportions. Profile correction is a central component of the comprehensive approach, which views the face as a dynamic 3D structure.
As changes in individual areas of the face affect the overall appearance, a detailed analysis and consultation are essential.
We will be happy to help you achieve or restore your ideal facial contour.

Frequently asked questions about facial contouring
Who is facial contouring suitable for?
The treatment is suitable for both women and men with moderate skin sagging who wish to harmonize their facial proportions or compensate for age-related volume loss. It is particularly suitable for people with flat cheeks, a small chin or an undefined jawline.
Which areas are treated during facial contouring?
Targeted injections can be used to optimise various areas of the face, including:
- Chin and jawline for a defined contour
- Cheeks for a subtle lift and to emphasise facial features
- Nasal profile for gentle non-surgical correction
- Lips for a natural balance with the lower half of the face
How does the treatment work?
After a detailed analysis, the appropriate technique is determined individually. The treatment itself usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. The results are immediately visible and become more refined within 1 to 2 weeks.
When is the result visible?
The treatment results are immediately visible and continue to refine over the next 1 to 2 weeks.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people experience only minimal discomfort. The fillers used often contain a local anaesthetic so that the treatment is well tolerated.
How long does the result last?
Depending on the product and individual metabolism, the shelf life is usually 3 to 24 months. Regular top-ups can help to maintain the results in the long term.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
You will normally be presentable immediately after the treatment. Slight swelling or small bruises may occur, but these will subside within a few days.
What are the risks?
The risks are low if the treatment is carried out correctly by an experienced practitioner. Possible side effects include slight swelling, redness or bruising at the injection sites.
Can I exercise straight after the treatment?
It is recommended to refrain from sport, sauna visits and intensive facial massages for 24 hours.
What does facial contouring cost?
The costs vary depending on the extent of the treatment and the products used. An exact price will be given after an individual consultation.
Why should the treatment be carried out by experienced specialists?
Facial contouring requires an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics. Experienced facial plastic surgeons ensure safe application and often achieve natural, harmonious results. They can also judge whether a non-surgical treatment is the best alternative. The appropriate technique is determined individually in a personal consultation.
