What is Facial Sculpting and Volume Restoration Treatment?

Over time, naturally occurring substances in the skin, such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, begin to break down. This leads to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other noticeable signs of ageing. 

Facial sculpting consultations aim to address these concerns and improve the face’s volume. This includes providing it with targeted support, sculpting your face to the desired results.

Contour Clinics is proud to offer quality aesthetic treatments in Australia, with all cosmetic procedures performed in-clinic by experienced medical professionals.

What are Dermal Enhancements for the Face?

Dermal enhancements restore volume by drawing water to the area where it’s applied. It aims to erase wrinkles, hydrate the skin’s deeper layers and restore lost volume to hollowed or sunken areas caused by ageing.

Dermal enhancements consist of one of our skin’s naturally occurring sugars, hyaluronic acid (HA).

Enhancements can also be used to augment features, such as emphasising cheekbones, projecting and defining the chin, or even contouring the shape of your nose.

Treatments are designed to be minimally invasive and delivered within a short appointment. It’s common for improvements to possibly be noticeable shortly after treatment

What Areas Does Face Sculpting Enhancements Target?

Face sculpting services can target multiple areas that require volumisation or definition of features. Many patients choose to utilise this service for the following areas:

  • Upper eyelid: Correct drooping areas under your eyebrows and improve sunken eyes, while also smoothing out crepey skin.
  • Cheekbones: Volumise your cheekbones to provide plumpness while also defining key areas.
  • Chin: Augment a weak or recessed chin and potentially improve facial proportions.
  • Temples: Fill in hollowing at the temples to create a fuller appearance.
  • Lips: Enhance the volume and definition of your lips to create the appearance of fullness and/or symmetry.
  • Neck: Extend sculpting efforts to refine the neck and chin area, reducing the appearance of jowls.
  • Forehead: Smooth out forehead lines and reshape the brow area as needed.
  • Tear-Trough: Smooth under-eye bags and lighten dark under-eye circles by replacing tear trough volume.
  • Nasiolabial folds: Treating ‘smile lines’ with dermal enhancements can decrease their depth and severity, giving you a younger, refreshed look.
  • Jawline: Restore facial harmony to the lower face and smooth away sagging jowls.
  • Nose: Reshape your nose with minimal discomfort and no downtime through a non-surgical rhinoplasty.

How do Volumising Treatments Work?

As you age, the collagen and fat pads responsible for keeping your skin tight and lifted begin to deplete. This may manifest in common signs of ageing, such as:

  • Drooping eyebrows
  • Under-eye bags
  • Pronounced nasolabial folds (deep lines that form between the cheek and mouth)
  • Hollow temples
  • Thinning lips
  • Sagging jowls
  • Amongst others

Aesthetic treatments for facial volume can be used for definition, plumping the skin, smoothing away creases, and providing lift and support to drooping features:

  • Time will be taken to understand your goals and concerns with a thorough consultation.
  • Your practitioner will provide a treatment plan tailored to your facial structure and desired outcome.
  • The treatment area is numbed with a topical anaesthetic to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

Aftercare for Dermal Enhancements

After your dermal enhancement procedure, an ice pack may be applied to reduce any bruising. Once you have left our clinic, there are some activities that you should avoid to aid in your recovery and keep safe. These include: 

    • Flying: We recommend that you don’t fly for at least 1 week post-procedure. In the rare event that you experience a complication, this allows sufficient time to correct/recover.
    • Drinking Alcohol: We recommend avoiding alcohol on the day of and the day after your procedure. Alcohol causes vasodilation (opening of blood vessels), which increases the chance of swelling and bruising post-procedure.
    • Smoking: Smoking after receiving any cosmetic enhancement treatment is not recommended, as it can impede skin healing and increase the risk of infection.

Your cosmetic doctor will also give you further details on what to expect post-procedure, as well as advise you on additional aftercare steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risks of dermal enhancements?

All medical procedures carry risk. The specific risk of volumising treatments as they relate to your unique circumstances will be discussed at your complimentary consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic doctors.

Generally, common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild bruising. These often resolve in days. Rarer side effects will be discussed during your complication.

In order to further reduce the risk of side effects, Contour Clinics has protocols surrounding the use of LED light therapy and lasers to reduce the risk of bruising or treat bruises that have already formed.

Are dermal enhancements safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Dermal enhancements are not recommended during breastfeeding or pregnancy, as no data supports their safety.

Are dermal enhancements safe to use around the eyes?

All cosmetic medical treatments carry risk. The risks as they relate to your unique circumstances will be discussed during your complimentary consultation. 

Volumising treatment around the eyes has long been accepted in the cosmetic medicine literature as having excellent safety, tolerability and efficacy characteristics. 

Careful placement, delivered following clinically validated techniques by experienced cosmetic doctors, aims to minimise any risk associated with under-eye or above-eye enhancements

Will I have bruising from dermal enhancements?

It’s possible to develop bruising after treatment

If bruising does occur, it may be minimised with the use of a lightly pressured covered ice pack after your procedure. 

Many of our dermal enhancements and cosmetic procedures are performed with a cannula, which further decreases the risks of bruising.

Are dermal enhancements toxic?

No. Dermal enhancements are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that’s already present in the skin. Our enhancements have been extensively studied with an excellent safety profile.
