The Art of Facial Contouring: Achieving Natural Results with Fillers
Introduction
The face is one of the first places we notice when we meet someone, and it’s often the last thing we remember when that person leaves our field of vision. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you have a pretty smile or nice eyes if your nose is too small or your cheeks are too round. Thankfully, there are several non-invasive ways to change this appearance without resorting to surgery or injections of botulinum toxin (the stuff that paralyzes muscles). That’s where facial contouring comes in!
Most people who seek facial contouring are likely doing so to achieve a more chiseled look.
Most people who seek facial contouring are likely doing so to achieve a more chiseled look. This can be achieved with fillers, which are injected into the face and help make it appear slimmer, sharper and more defined. Facial contouring is a relatively new treatment that has become popular in recent years as part of an overall trend toward wanting more natural-looking results.
- Fillers can be used to soften the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth or eyes by filling deep hollows and creating cheekbone definition (this will also lift up sagging skin).
- They can also give you fuller lips if they’re not already plump enough for your liking–or even reshape them if they’ve lost their shape over time due to sun exposure or aging factors such as gravity pulling down on them when we smile (which causes our lips’ outer edges to pull inward).
Using fillers to sculpt the face is a relatively new treatment.
Fillers are a relatively new treatment that can be used to soften wrinkles or create fuller lips. They are made from hyaluronic acid or collagen and injected into the skin, where they act like sponges to fill in depressions in the face. The results last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product used and your natural aging process.
Some of these fillers are also used for facial contouring because they have properties that make them ideal for sculpting specific areas of your face without surgery.
There are several different types of fillers used in facial contouring, including hyaluronic acid, collagen and Sculptra.
The most common facial fillers are hyaluronic acid, collagen and Sculptra.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps retain moisture, lubricate joints and cushion tissues against injury. It’s also used as a filler for lips or wrinkles around the mouth because it doesn’t last as long as other fillers do (about six months).
Collagen is a protein found throughout the body and makes up about 30% of our skin’s thickness. When injected into deeper wrinkles like nasolabial folds (the lines from nostrils to corners of lips), it can help smooth out those lines by filling them in with plumper skin over time (up to two years). Collagen injections won’t last forever though; eventually they’ll need another injection or treatment like laser resurfacing or chemical peels to maintain results!
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvaderm and Restylane can be used to soften the appearance of wrinkles and give you fuller lips.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are made from natural substances and they are safe and effective. They can be used to soften the appearance of wrinkles, or to give you fuller lips.
Hyaluronic acid works by restoring volume to the skin, which improves its appearance in a natural way that is not obvious or overdone.
Collagen-based products such as Voluma and Radiesse are best for filling deep hollows and creating cheekbone definition.
Collagen-based products such as Voluma and Radiesse are best for filling deep hollows and creating cheekbone definition. They can also be used to fill nasolabial folds (the lines between your nose and mouth).
In comparison to hyaluronic acid fillers, collagen-based options tend to last longer and have less potential side effects. However, they’re more expensive than hyaluronic acid fillers–and they require more time in the doctor’s office because they require injection into multiple layers of skin rather than just one layer like HA fillers do.
A newer product called Sacubrin is a naturally derived filler that works well for filling out naso-labial folds (those “laugh lines” around your mouth).
Sacubrin is a newer product, developed by the same company that makes Restylane. It’s a naturally derived filler that works well for filling out naso-labial folds (those “laugh lines” around your mouth).
Sacubrin is made from hyaluronic acid, which is already present in the skin and helps retain moisture. When injected into the lips or nasolabial folds of individuals with loose skin, it works to plump up those areas by attracting water molecules and swelling up with them. This has the effect of smoothing out wrinkles and folds, making it an ideal treatment option for patients who have lost some volume in their faces due to aging or weight loss.
One thing we love about sacubrin is that while it can be used on any area of your face where there are wrinkles or folds–including those pesky crow’s feet around your eyes–it doesn’t require anesthesia like other fillers do! So if you’re looking for something quick but effective without having to go under general anesthesia (or maybe even needing numbing cream), this could be worth checking out!
After receiving filler injections, your body will begin digesting this material over time, causing it to break down into smaller pieces that eventually disappear altogether.

It’s important to note that not all fillers are created equally: some may take longer than others do before they dissolve fully.
In general, it takes roughly one month for the majority of any given facial filler injection to dissolve naturally (although there are exceptions). That’s why we recommend having at least one follow-up appointment with your injector after a few weeks; if he or she hasn’t seen any signs of deterioration yet, there’s no need for another round of treatment until your next visit!
Fillers may be the answer if you’d like a more defined look without undergoing surgery or Botox injections
Fillers may be the answer if you’d like a more defined look without undergoing surgery or Botox injections. Fillers can be used to soften wrinkles and create fuller lips, sculpt the face, fill out naso-labial folds (the lines that form on either side of your nose), and even create cheekbone definition.
- Fillercandidates should be in good health without any active infections or skin conditions such as rosacea or acne.*
