Hyaluronic acid for facial contour and sculpting

The facial contour refers to the lower profile edges of the face. A defined contour creates a sculpted, elegant look that enhances overall facial aesthetics, projecting an image of confidence with a firm, positive expression. While age is often a cause, certain face shapes (often round or oval) may naturally have a less defined contour. Hyaluronic acid injections are an ideal solution, and Dr. Aimé will precisely adapt the type and amount of product required.

As time progresses, the face gradually changes. Hollowing occurs, and the cheeks and cheekbones may sag. The facial contour becomes less defined, and jowls can appear. The jawline softens, and the chin recedes, giving the face a harsher, sadder appearance. Skin laxity alters the shape and harmony of the face. Hyaluronic acid injections for the facial contour can correct these aesthetic concerns and restore a more regular, confident appearance.

Facial contour treatments can also improve the appearance of the chin in younger individuals. Injections allow for proportion adjustments to harmonize the chin with other facial features, such as the cheekbones, lips, nose, and forehead. This simple and nearly painless procedure is ideal for patients with a small, recessed chin or retrognathism.

During the initial consultation, Dr. Aimé will conduct a thorough analysis of your facial contour and ensure there are no contraindications. A tailored treatment plan will be developed based on your needs and expectations. You’ll be advised to avoid taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications 48 hours before the procedure to minimize the risk of bleeding and bruising.

Following the consultation, the hyaluronic acid injection session takes place at Dr. Aimé’s clinic. You will be seated in a hygienic and comfortable environment. After carefully disinfecting the skin, injections are administered using microcannulas to minimize discomfort. The product contains a local anesthetic, making the procedure virtually painless. The treatment lasts around 30 minutes. Afterward, the treated area is gently massaged to ensure an even distribution of the hyaluronic acid. A follow-up consultation is scheduled two weeks later for post-injection monitoring.

The results of hyaluronic acid injections for the facial contour are immediate, restoring youthfulness and firmness to the area. Full results are optimized within two to three weeks. The overall facial aesthetic improves with sharper, more defined features, leading to a more joyful and dynamic appearance. The effects of contour reshaping typically last between 12 to 18 months.

Mild, temporary side effects are common with hyaluronic acid injections for the facial contour. These usually resolve quickly and include :

• Redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Sensitivity at the injection site

These side effects do not require social downtime and can be concealed with makeup. To minimize risks, avoid intense exercise, heat exposure (such as saunas, steam rooms, UV rays), or aggressive skincare treatments for a few days after the injections.

The cost of hyaluronic acid treatment for the facial contour depends on the extent of correction and the amount of product needed. The average price per syringe is €420, including tax. A personalized quote will be provided during the initial consultation.
