What are the options for facial sculpting with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatment options for altering the shape and structure of the face. These are designed to add volume to specific areas and can effectively reshape parts of the face, adding contouring and structure. But what are the options for facial sculpting with dermal fillers? And how can this be achieved effectively?

What is facial sculpting?

First of all, what exactly is facial sculpting? Well, this involves the use of a range of aesthetic treatments to change the structure and shape of the face without surgery. Dermal fillers are one of the most important parts of this, as these bring the volume and shape to the face, and can be used across a range of different areas, and applied in different ways, to achieve the right results.

So what are the options for facial sculpting with dermal fillers?

To sculpt and shape the face, dermal fillers provide a wide range of options. These include:

• Changing the shape of the lower face
• Changing the shape of the centre of the face

Using dermal filler to change the shape of the lower face

Whether you want a wider or a narrower jawline, injecting dermal filler into the right areas in the lower part of the face can make a dramatic difference to its overall shape and structure.

Dermal fillers can be injected further up the face to slim the jawline and change the facial profile by replacing lost volume. This automatically allows the skin around the jawline to rise, resolving any sagging skin and creating a well defined jaw.

Injections of small amounts of filler into the chin can also complement jawline fillers as this can be used to increase the length of the chin. Even if this difference is only slight, the width of the jawline will again be reduced. This, paired with cheekbone fillers, is often used to help to create a more heart shaped face.

For some people, facial sculpting will be aiming to create a wider, more well defined jawline, and this is again something that dermal fillers, injected under the skin, can help to achieve. In this instance, the fillers will be used to move and tighten the skin in the surrounding area, as well as to add volume to the jawline itself, increasing jawline definition. For a more square jaw result, this process can also be very effective.

Again these jawline fillers can be paired with effective chin fillers to also widen the chin in line with the jaw, and to create the right facial structure for your natural build.

Lip fillers can also be very effective for changing the shape of the lower face.

Using dermal filler to sculpt the centre of the face

Dermal fillers can also be used to sculpt the centre of the face, around the cheeks and nose. For cheekbones, dermal filler can be injected just above the profile of the cheeks, helping them to look more prominent. This can be a great option for maintaining a youthful appearance and changing the facial structure. Cheekbone fillers can also help to slimline the face too.

For the nose, dermal fillers can add symmetry and be applied in small, precise amounts to change its shape and appearance.

Choose professionals for facial sculpting

While facial sculpting may not require surgery, and while dermal fillers can also be dissolved, this aesthetic treatment should only ever be provided by professional, qualified and registered professionals. There are a number of risks associated with dermal filler injections delivered by someone without training, including life altering and life risking complications. On top of avoiding these dangers, working with a professional aesthetic provider, like us here at The Skin and Wellbeing Clinic, can ensure that your facial sculpting has the desired result, with subtle, natural and stunning results in line with your individual requirements and natural structure.
