When I use the term โfacial contouring,โ It refers to a series of small procedures that combine to make a big impact. These procedures include buccal fat removal, neck liposuction, and chin augmentation. This approach is especially beneficial for younger patients who want to enhance their profile and remove excess fat from around the cheeks. I use โyoungerโ here because the key is the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) or deep plane. For younger patients, there typically isnโt enough laxity or sagging in the deeper layers of the face to warrant a fully invasive deep plane facelift.
Facial contouring is less invasive than a deep plane facelift, which results in a quicker and less intense recovery.

You can expect to be swollen and slightly bruised for a few days, with some soreness, but this can be managed with prescription pain medication. You will need to rest for about one week before you can return to work or school. After just a few months, you will see your fully recovered and newly sculpted facial profile.
This procedure can also be combined with additional complementary procedures such as Morpheus 8. If you remember my recent male facial contouring patient, Robert, he had a strong chin, and instead of a chin augmentation, more focus was placed on his neck. After the initial recovery, he came in for Morpheus 8 to further improve his results.
