Facial Contouring: Refresh Your Features & Renew Your Appearance
New beauty trends and techniques are emerging regularly. One technique that has gained popularity is facial contouring. Whether you’re looking for minor alterations or seeking a more comprehensive solution, facial contouring offers options to alter facial features to help boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
At Livingston Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chris Livingston explains the concept of facial contouring, how it can benefit you, and how the treatments available can enhance your overall appearance.
What Is Facial Contouring?
Makeup can be used to contour the face, though it requires daily application, practice, and patience. Cosmetic facial contouring provides a more permanent option with long-lasting results. This method includes non-invasive treatments, minimally invasive procedures, or surgeries to reshape specific facial features.
Facial contouring procedures are designed to shape and redefine the contours of the face, including:
- Enhancing cheekbones
- Redefining the nose
- Sculpting the jawline
- Reducing the various signs of aging
Facial Contouring Procedures in Houston, TX
While your appearance doesn’t define who you are and what you stand for, it’s important to be confident and satisfied with the face you present to the world. Facial contouring procedures can balance your features and smooth or tighten your skin for a younger, refreshed appearance. By creating a stronger facial profile, Dr. Livingston can help deliver long-lasting results that boost your confidence.
Face sculpting techniques enhance the contours and appearance of the face. These techniques can include surgical procedures and non-surgical treatments designed to reshape specific areas of the face. Procedures can include reshaping bone, inserting facial implants, removing excess fat, plumping skin with fillers, or reducing wrinkles with neurotoxins.
Chin Liposuction
Some patients struggle to eliminate stubborn fat deposits despite diet and exercise. Dr. Livingston, a Houston liposuction specialist, offers traditional and ultrasonic fat removal procedures to help sculpt the face and body. Chin liposuction efficiently reduces submental fat deposits that resist healthy habits.
Chin liposuction helps improve overall facial contours by removing excess fat to redefine the jawline, neck, and chin. With a quicker recovery time than a neck lift, chin liposuction is less invasive. It’s an ideal treatment for individuals with only localized fat and good skin elasticity. If you have poor skin quality, including loose or stretched skin, additional treatments may be necessary for optimal results.
Double Chin Removal
A double chin is a common condition that affects many individuals. This area can be challenging to address, even with diet and exercise. Double chins may result from excess fat or loose skin due to decreased skin elasticity. While eliminating a double chin can be difficult, there are treatment options.
- Liposuction: Removes excess fat from under the chin with a thin tube called a cannula. If you have loose, stretched skin that may not bounce back after fat removal, liposuction is not ideal.
- Submentoplasty: Removes skin and fat from under the chin for a tighter jawline.
- Neck Lift: Removes sagging skin and tightens neck muscles to address a double chin and enhance the overall appearance of the neck.
Facelift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, reshapes the mid-face and neck to enhance facial contours and overall appearance. It helps achieve a rejuvenated look by removing excess skin and fat. Dr. Livingston’s procedure delivers a younger facial appearance without altering your natural features or rendering your appearance overdone. Though it doesn’t stop aging, a facelift can make you look ten years younger.
Facelifts reposition tissue, tighten facial skin, and reduce wrinkles, lines, and folds to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. With advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Livingston improves the facial contours by addressing:
- Displaced fat
- Loose, sagging facial skin
- Deep creases and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, forehead, and neck
- Loss of muscle tone
With a Houston facelift, improvements are not restricted to physical appearance, but greater confidence and enhanced self-esteem, which can help improve personal and professional relationships.
Neck Lift
For some individuals, signs of aging may first appear in the neck, giving an older appearance. Neck lift surgery addresses several issues in the neck, jawline, and chin areas, including excess skin, excess fat, wrinkles, loose neck muscles, neck bands, and asymmetries. This procedure improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, delivering a smooth, youthful facial contours.
Neck lifts can effectively rejuvenate and tighten the soft tissue, addressing concerns related to aging or significant weight loss. This procedure aims to help patients achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance that aligns with their self-perception by improving the appearance of:
- Excess skin
- Excess fat
- Wrinkling
- Loose neck muscles
- Asymmetry
Non-Surgical Facial Contouring Treatments
Many individuals seek facial contouring benefits but may lack the time or resources to undergo extensive procedures due to their daily commitments. Injectable dermal fillers and neurotoxins offer a solution, providing minimally invasive, temporary enhancements that allow patients to achieve a refined appearance without requiring significant surgical intervention.
At Livingston Plastic Surgery, we offer several leading dermal fillers and neurotoxins, including:
