Contouring sounds a bit like sketching your face, doesn’t it? Contouring is a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to give your face a more defined, youthful look. Whether you want to make your cheekbones more prominent, reshape your jawline, or make your lips fuller, contouring can help you achieve these wishes. What’s more, it is a minimally invasive solution that will not leave any scalpel marks on your face.

When you sit down in the aesthetic clinic chair, the aesthetician or dermatologist will first give you a "facial assessment", which is like a physical examination of your face. They will discuss with you the effect you want to achieve and then decide where to inject the filler. Once the treatment area is determined, they will apply numbing cream to make you feel no pain. Then, they will use a fine needle or cannula to gently inject the filler into specific areas of your face. The whole process may take less than an hour, and you can see the results almost immediately. Of course, there may be some redness or bruising after the procedure, but don’t worry, these minor side effects will disappear quickly. Furthermore, the results of contouring can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on which filler you use and the areas you want to improve.

Contouring is a gift for those who don’t want to go under the knife. If you’re looking to add volume to certain areas of your face or add definition to your facial lines without going through surgery, contouring is the way to go. Especially for those whose faces have become hollow due to age or weight loss, contouring can help restore the fullness of your youth. However, it’s important to remember that contouring is not a magic wand that can transform you into a different person. Contouring is best suited for those who have realistic expectations and understand that fillers can enhance your natural features without completely changing your appearance.
