Why can the face appear asymmetrical?
As we age, our skin changes: it loses firmness, becomes drier and thinner, and volume decreases in areas like the cheeks or lips. External factors like stress, lack of sleep or major weight changes can also affect the skin.
The result: facial contours lose definition, cheeks may appear sunken, and the chin less pronounced. Often, one’s facial expression no longer matches how they feel – the face may seem more tired or tense than it actually is. When and how strongly these changes appear varies from person to person – but many find them bothersome.
This treatment is recommended if you…
- feel like your features have softened and your contours are no longer as clear as before
- want to define your cheeks, chin or jawline – without surgery
- notice that sunken areas make your face look “pulled down”
- often don’t like how you look in photos
- want to balance proportions or enhance your natural face shape

Treatment
What happens during a contouring treatment with hyaluronic acid?
First, we discuss what bothers you and what outcome you are hoping for. Then we conduct a dermatological evaluation focused on your skin’s structure, firmness, and sensitivity. We then advise you on the most suitable option.
For facial contouring, we use hyaluronic acid fillers injected into targeted areas to visibly shape or gently lift. We work with very fine needles or blunt-tipped cannulas. The treatment is generally well tolerated.
Our goal is never an “overfilled” look, but rather a balanced and refreshed appearance that suits your natural expression.
Depending on the area, the treatment takes approx. 20 to 30 minutes.
Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually goes away quickly.
When will I see results?
You’ll usually notice a difference right away. Mild swelling or redness right after the injection is normal and usually fades within a few hours to a few days.
The final result appears once the hyaluronic acid has fully settled – typically within a few days.
How long does the result last?
Between 6 and 12 months. Regular touch-ups help maintain results over time.
What happens during facial contouring?
Initial consultation & evaluation
We begin with a personal discussion and a detailed dermatological assessment. We analyze your facial structure, skin quality, and personal goals.
Treatment planning
Together, we decide which areas to contour or enhance – such as cheeks, chin, or jawline. We explain how the hyaluronic fillers are used and what results are realistically possible.
Treatment
The injections are done using very fine needles. The treatment lasts approx. 20–30 minutes and is usually well tolerated.
Aftercare
After the treatment, we’ll give you tips on care and let you know what to watch out for in the first few days.
We’ll also explain when the first results will appear and how long they are expected to last.
Facial contouring with hyaluronic acid fillers at our clinic is performed exclusively by experienced dermatologists:

- Dr. Markus Dendorfer, specialist in dermatology and pediatric dermatology

FAQ – Common questions about facial contouring with hyaluronic fillers
What is facial contouring with fillers?
Facial contouring with fillers uses hyaluronic acid to shape, balance, or enhance certain facial areas – like the cheeks, chin, or jawline. The goal is a harmonious and defined appearance.
Who is a good candidate for facial contouring?
The treatment is suitable for people who want more defined contours or better facial symmetry, without surgery. It also helps with age-related volume loss.
What happens during the treatment?
After a thorough consultation, the right amount of filler is injected with precision. The procedure takes approx. 20 to 30 minutes and is very well tolerated thanks to the use of fine needles or cannulas.
How soon do you see results?
Results are usually visible immediately. Some swelling might occur in the first few days but fades quickly. The final result can be seen after one to two weeks.
How long do the results of facial contouring last?
Longevity depends on the area treated, your skin type, and the filler used – usually between 6 and 18 months. Regular touch-ups help maintain the result permanently.
Which areas can be contoured?
Common treatment areas include:
- Cheeks (for added volume and contour)
- Jawline (for more definition and structure)
- Chin (for a balanced profile)
- Temples or outer cheeks (if volume has been lost)
Are there any risks involved?
As with any injection, minor bruises, swelling, or tenderness can occur. Serious side effects are rare – the treatment is performed only by experienced doctors.
Can facial contouring look unnatural?
No – when done correctly, results remain subtle and natural. The goal is not a dramatic change but gentle improvement of your facial features.
How is filler contouring different from surgery?
Unlike surgery, this is a minimally invasive procedure that’s quickly done and requires no downtime. Nothing is removed – instead, volume is added in specific areas without the need for a scalpel.
