Facial Contouring at a Glance
Why does the face appear asymmetrical?
Our skin changes with age: elasticity decreases, the skin becomes drier and thinner, and volume in the cheeks or lips diminishes. External factors such as stress, lack of sleep, or significant weight changes can also affect the skin’s appearance.
The result: facial contours lose clarity, cheeks appear sunken, and the chin becomes less defined. Often, facial expressions no longer match inner feelings – appearing more tired or tense than reality. How early and how strongly these changes become visible is individual – but many find them bothersome.
This treatment is recommended if you…
- feel that your facial features have softened and your contours are no longer as clear as before
- wish for a way to define cheeks, chin, or jawline – without cosmetic surgery
- notice that sunken areas visually “pull down” your face
- often see yourself “distorted” or unflattering in photos
- wish to balance your proportions or have your natural face shape sculpted

Treatment
What happens during contouring treatment with hyaluronic acid?
First, we clarify together what bothers you and what goal you are pursuing with the treatment.
Then follows a dermatological assessment of your skin structure, firmness, and sensitivity. Afterwards, we advise you on which method is suitable for you.
For facial contouring, we use hyaluronic acid fillers via injection to visibly shape or gently lift specific areas. The treatment is performed with very fine needles or blunt cannulas and is generally well-tolerated.
The goal is never an “overfilled look,” but rather a harmonious, fresh overall appearance that suits your natural radiance.
The treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area.
Slight redness or swelling is possible but usually subsides quickly.
When is the effect visible?
The effect is usually visible immediately. Slight swelling or redness directly after the injection is normal and usually subsides within a few hours to days.
The final result appears once the hyaluronic acid has optimally distributed itself in the tissue – usually after a few days.
How long does the result last?
Between 6 and 12 months; regular touch-ups help maintain the result long-term.
How is facial contouring performed?
Initial Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a personal consultation and a thorough dermatological assessment. We analyze your face shape, skin structure, and individual wishes.
Treatment Planning
Together, we discuss which areas should be contoured or plumped – e.g., cheeks, chin, or jawline. We explain how hyaluronic acid fillers are used and what can realistically be achieved.
Treatment
Injections are performed with very fine needles. The treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes and is generally well-tolerated.
Care and Aftercare
After the treatment, you will receive care tips and advice on what to look out for in the first few days.
We explain when the first effects will be visible and how long the result is expected to last.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Facial Contouring with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
What is facial contouring with fillers?
Facial contouring with fillers involves using hyaluronic acid preparations to sculpt, balance, or emphasize individual facial areas – e.g., cheeks, jawline, or chin. The goal is a harmonious, defined overall appearance.
Who is facial contouring suitable for?
The treatment is suitable for people who desire clearer contours or more facial symmetry – without surgery. Contouring can also be supportive in cases of age-related volume loss.
How does the treatment work?
After a detailed consultation, the appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid filler is precisely injected. The treatment usually takes 20 to 30 minutes and is very well-tolerated thanks to fine needles or cannulas.
How quickly is the result visible?
The result is usually visible immediately. Slight swelling may occur in the first few days, which quickly subsides. The final result is achieved after one to two weeks.
How long does the result of facial contouring last?
Durability depends on the region, skin type, and filler used – usually between 6 and 18 months. Regular touch-ups can maintain the result long-term.
Which areas can be contoured?
Typical regions include:
- Cheeks (for more volume and defined contours)
- Jawline (for more expression and structure)
- Chin (for a harmonious profile)
- Temples or lateral cheeks (in case of volume loss)
Is the treatment associated with risks?
As with any injection, minor bruising, swelling, or pressure may occur. Serious side effects are rare – the treatment is performed exclusively by experienced doctors.
Can facial contouring look unnatural?
No – when performed professionally, the result remains subtle and natural. The goal is not a radical change, but a gentle harmonization of your facial features.
How does contouring with fillers differ from surgery?
Unlike surgery, the treatment is minimally invasive, quick to perform, and requires no downtime. No tissue is removed; instead, volume is specifically built up – entirely without a scalpel.
