Facial contouring

Short-term Effects

In the short term following facial contouring treatments, such as 1-2 weeks after Botox injections for masseter reduction, you can gradually observe a decrease in masseter muscle size, with the facial contours beginning to appear slimmer. Immediately after facial liposuction, reduced swelling and some improvement in facial contours are visible. For bone grinding surgery, changes in face shape resulting from altered bone structure become initially apparent once the post-operative swelling subsides, typically around 1-2 months after the procedure.

Long-term Effects

Over time, the effects of Botox for masseter reduction peak at 3-6 months, after which they gradually diminish. Three to six months after facial liposuction, the skin tightens progressively, resulting in a more refined facial contour. For bone grinding surgery, the bones heal and stabilize within 6-12 months post-operation, at which point the face shape is largely settled, achieving a relatively long-lasting facial contouring result.

The following groups are suitable for facial contouring procedures:

• Individuals with broad facial bones, such as high cheekbones or enlarged mandibular angles, resulting in square or diamond-shaped faces that lack softness.
• Individuals with excessive facial fat accumulation, causing a large and puffy appearance, which is difficult to improve through exercise and dieting.
• Individuals with developed masseter muscles due to frequent chewing of hard foods or teeth grinding habits, leading to noticeable protrusion on both sides of the face.
• Individuals with high aesthetic expectations for facial contours, seeking to enhance their appearance and confidence through facial contouring.

However, the procedure is not suitable for individuals with the following conditions:

• Those suffering from severe systemic diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, or diabetes, who cannot tolerate surgery or treatment.
• Those with facial infections, inflammation, or other pathological conditions.
• Those with unstable psychological states or unrealistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes.

Bone Grinding Surgery

Advanced bone grinding equipment, such as pneumatic bone grinders, features precise cutting and minimal tissue damage. Ultrasonic bone scalpels can precisely cut bone while protecting surrounding soft tissues, reducing intraoperative bleeding and postoperative swelling.

Facial Liposuction

Water-jet assisted liposuction devices use a spiral water jet to apply pressurized water flow precisely to the target tissue, selectively separating fat cells. This results in uniform fat removal with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Price

The cost of facial contouring varies significantly depending on the treatment method:

- Botulinum Toxin Injections: Domestic Hengli botulinum toxin typically costs 1,000–3,000 RMB per vial, while imported Botox costs 3,000–6,000 RMB per vial. Usually, 1–2 vials are required per treatment session.

- Facial Liposuction: Prices range from 5,000 to 20,000 RMB, depending on the treatment area and volume of fat removed.

- Bone Contouring Surgery: Mandibular angle reduction costs between 30,000 and 60,000 RMB, while zygomatic reduction costs between 40,000 and 80,000 RMB. Due to the complexity and higher risks associated with these procedures, the prices are relatively higher.

Expected Results

The effectiveness of facial contouring is influenced by various factors, such as individual facial anatomy, the chosen treatment method, and the physician's expertise. Generally, a well-planned treatment can improve facial contours to some extent, resulting in a more refined and aesthetically pleasing face shape. However, it is important to recognize that facial contouring cannot completely alter one's overall facial aura or the harmony of facial features. One should not expect to achieve a face shape identical to that of a celebrity.

Combined Treatments

- Masseter Botox + Facial Liposuction: For individuals with both enlarged masseter muscles and accumulated facial fat, performing facial liposuction first to reduce fat volume, followed by Masseter Botox injections to shrink the masseter muscles, can comprehensively improve facial contours and achieve better slimming results.

- Bone Contouring Surgery + Dermal Fillers: After bone contouring surgery, local facial depressions may occur. In such cases, dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid or autologous fat can be used to improve facial contours, resulting in a fuller and more natural appearance.

Bone Contouring Surgery

Potential complications include bleeding, infection, facial nerve damage (leading to facial numbness, unnatural expressions, etc.), bilateral asymmetry, and poor bone healing.

Face Slimming Injections

Common side effects include local swelling, bruising, and pain. In rare cases, allergic reactions, masseter muscle weakness, and facial stiffness may occur.

Facial Liposuction

Potential issues include uneven skin surface, infection, hematoma, and skin laxity.

Selecting Devices

In addition to the bone grinding and liposuction devices mentioned earlier, some auxiliary devices can also be considered for facial contouring treatments:

- Radiofrequency skin tightening devices: Such as Thermage and Ultherapy. These can be used after facial liposuction or bone grinding surgery to promote skin tightening and reduce the occurrence of skin laxity.

- Laser lipolysis devices: For small areas of facial fat accumulation, laser lipolysis devices can more precisely dissolve fat with relatively minimal trauma.

Project Contraindications

Bone Grinding Surgery: Surgery is prohibited during menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation for women. Individuals with mental disorders, a history of drug allergies, or keloid-prone skin should consider the procedure with caution.

Face Slimming Injections: Contraindicated for individuals allergic to botulinum toxin, patients with myasthenia gravis, and those currently using aminoglycoside antibiotics or similar medications.

Facial Liposuction: Not suitable for individuals with coagulation disorders, or those suffering from skin diseases or skin infections.

In addition to the side effects and complications mentioned earlier, facial contouring procedures may also cause some other side effects:

Psychological side effects: Some individuals may experience anxiety or depression due to dissatisfaction with the results or comments from others after undergoing facial contouring.

Pigmentation: After treatments such as facial liposuction or laser lipolysis, a small number of people may experience localized skin pigmentation, which usually fades gradually over several months.

The previously mentioned side effects and complications are as follows:

Bone shaving surgery: Potential complications include bleeding, infection, facial nerve damage (leading to facial numbness, unnatural expressions, etc.), bilateral asymmetry, and poor bone healing.

Facial slimming injections: Common side effects include local swelling, bruising, and pain. In rare cases, allergic reactions, masseter muscle weakness, and stiff facial expressions may occur.

Facial liposuction: Possible issues include uneven skin surface, infection, hematoma, and skin laxity.

Symptom Self-Assessment

Before considering facial contouring surgery, you can perform a simple self-assessment:

Observe your facial contours: Examine your face from both the front and side to determine whether a wide appearance is caused by broad bone structure, fat accumulation, or developed masseter muscles.

Touch your face: Use your hands to feel both sides of your cheeks, assessing the size and firmness of the masseter muscles. If the masseter muscles bulge noticeably and feel firm when you clench your teeth, you may have hypertrophic masseter muscles. If there is a noticeable sense of fat accumulation, facial liposuction might be worth considering.

Selecting a Treatment Plan

Choosing a treatment plan requires comprehensive consideration of the following factors:

- Facial baseline conditions: including bone structure, fat distribution, masseter muscle size, etc.

- Personal needs and expectations: clearly define the desired facial shape outcomes, such as slimming the face or improving the softness of facial contours.

- Physical condition: assess your overall health status to determine if you can tolerate the corresponding treatment.

- Financial situation: prices for different facial reshaping procedures vary significantly, so it is important to choose a suitable plan based on your financial capacity.

Advanced bone grinding equipment, such as pneumatic bone grinders, features precise cutting and minimal tissue damage. Ultrasonic bone scalpels can precisely cut bone while protecting surrounding soft tissues, reducing intraoperative bleeding and postoperative swelling.

Facial Liposuction

Water-jet assisted liposuction devices use a spiral water jet to apply pressurized water flow precisely to the target tissue, selectively separating fat cells. This results in uniform fat removal with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Price

The cost of facial contouring varies significantly depending on the treatment method:

- Botulinum Toxin Injections: Domestic Hengli botulinum toxin typically costs 1,000–3,000 RMB per vial, while imported Botox costs 3,000–6,000 RMB per vial. Usually, 1–2 vials are required per treatment session.

- Facial Liposuction: Prices range from 5,000 to 20,000 RMB, depending on the treatment area and volume of fat removed.

- Bone Contouring Surgery: Mandibular angle reduction costs between 30,000 and 60,000 RMB, while zygomatic reduction costs between 40,000 and 80,000 RMB. Due to the complexity and higher risks associated with these procedures, the prices are relatively higher.

Expected Results

The effectiveness of facial contouring is influenced by various factors, such as individual facial anatomy, the chosen treatment method, and the physician's expertise. Generally, a well-planned treatment can improve facial contours to some extent, resulting in a more refined and aesthetically pleasing face shape. However, it is important to recognize that facial contouring cannot completely alter one's overall facial aura or the harmony of facial features. One should not expect to achieve a face shape identical to that of a celebrity.

Combined Treatments

- Masseter Botox + Facial Liposuction: For individuals with both enlarged masseter muscles and accumulated facial fat, performing facial liposuction first to reduce fat volume, followed by Masseter Botox injections to shrink the masseter muscles, can comprehensively improve facial contours and achieve better slimming results.

- Bone Contouring Surgery + Dermal Fillers: After bone contouring surgery, local facial depressions may occur. In such cases, dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid or autologous fat can be used to improve facial contours, resulting in a fuller and more natural appearance.

Bone Contouring Surgery

Potential complications include bleeding, infection, facial nerve damage (leading to facial numbness, unnatural expressions, etc.), bilateral asymmetry, and poor bone healing.

Face Slimming Injections

Common side effects include local swelling, bruising, and pain. In rare cases, allergic reactions, masseter muscle weakness, and facial stiffness may occur.

Facial Liposuction

Potential issues include uneven skin surface, infection, hematoma, and skin laxity.

Selecting Devices

In addition to the bone grinding and liposuction devices mentioned earlier, some auxiliary devices can also be considered for facial contouring treatments:

- Radiofrequency skin tightening devices: Such as Thermage and Ultherapy. These can be used after facial liposuction or bone grinding surgery to promote skin tightening and reduce the occurrence of skin laxity.

- Laser lipolysis devices: For small areas of facial fat accumulation, laser lipolysis devices can more precisely dissolve fat with relatively minimal trauma.

Project Contraindications

Bone Grinding Surgery: Surgery is prohibited during menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation for women. Individuals with mental disorders, a history of drug allergies, or keloid-prone skin should consider the procedure with caution.

Face Slimming Injections: Contraindicated for individuals allergic to botulinum toxin, patients with myasthenia gravis, and those currently using aminoglycoside antibiotics or similar medications.

Facial Liposuction: Not suitable for individuals with coagulation disorders, or those suffering from skin diseases or skin infections.

In addition to the side effects and complications mentioned earlier, facial contouring procedures may also cause some other side effects:

Psychological side effects: Some individuals may experience anxiety or depression due to dissatisfaction with the results or comments from others after undergoing facial contouring.

Pigmentation: After treatments such as facial liposuction or laser lipolysis, a small number of people may experience localized skin pigmentation, which usually fades gradually over several months.

The previously mentioned side effects and complications are as follows:

Bone shaving surgery: Potential complications include bleeding, infection, facial nerve damage (leading to facial numbness, unnatural expressions, etc.), bilateral asymmetry, and poor bone healing.

Facial slimming injections: Common side effects include local swelling, bruising, and pain. In rare cases, allergic reactions, masseter muscle weakness, and stiff facial expressions may occur.

Facial liposuction: Possible issues include uneven skin surface, infection, hematoma, and skin laxity.

Symptom Self-Assessment

Before considering facial contouring surgery, you can perform a simple self-assessment:

Observe your facial contours: Examine your face from both the front and side to determine whether a wide appearance is caused by broad bone structure, fat accumulation, or developed masseter muscles.

Touch your face: Use your hands to feel both sides of your cheeks, assessing the size and firmness of the masseter muscles. If the masseter muscles bulge noticeably and feel firm when you clench your teeth, you may have hypertrophic masseter muscles. If there is a noticeable sense of fat accumulation, facial liposuction might be worth considering.

Selecting a Treatment Plan

Choosing a treatment plan requires comprehensive consideration of the following factors:

- Facial baseline conditions: including bone structure, fat distribution, masseter muscle size, etc.

- Personal needs and expectations: clearly define the desired facial shape outcomes, such as slimming the face or improving the softness of facial contours.

- Physical condition: assess your overall health status to determine if you can tolerate the corresponding treatment.

- Financial situation: prices for different facial reshaping procedures vary significantly, so it is important to choose a suitable plan based on your financial capacity.
