What is Assessed In a Lower Face Contouring Consultation?
A lower face contouring consultation involves a detailed assessment of the jawline and lower third of the face. Your doctor will evaluate contributing factors such as:
- Masseter muscle activity
- Facial proportions and symmetry
- Soft tissue volume and skin support
- Functional concerns such as clenching or grinding
This helps determine whether lower face contouring options may be suitable for your goals.
Can Lower Face Contouring Consultations Address Jaw Tension or Teeth Grinding?
Many patients seek consultation not only for aesthetic refinement, but also due to symptoms such as jaw tension or teeth grinding (bruxism).
During your assessment, your doctor will discuss whether muscle overactivity may be contributing, and whether treatment options may be appropriate in your individual case.
How Is Suitability For Lower Face Contouring Assessed?
Suitability depends on several factors, including:
- The strength and activity of the masseter muscles
- Your facial structure and baseline proportions
- Skin quality and soft tissue support
- Your aesthetic goals and expectations
Because treatment planning is highly individual, an in-person consultation is essential to determine the most appropriate approach.
