Facial Contouring & Lifting in Cape Town
Changes around the jawline or nose can affect the overall balance of the face. For some people, the goal is not a dramatic change, but simply to refine certain areas without surgery.
Facial contouring and lifting treatments can help support or reshape these areas using minimally invasive techniques. In Cape Town, this may include thread lifts or non-surgical rhinoplasty. Facial sculpting is another option, depending on what you would like to address.
What Do Thread Lifts Involve?
Thread lifts use fine, dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to lift areas that have started to sag. They can also encourage collagen production while they are in place.
This treatment is commonly used around the jawline and cheeks for people who want some lift without surgery.
The threads gradually dissolve over 12 to 18 months. Mild swelling or tightness can happen afterwards and usually settles as the area heals.
What Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can be used to make small changes to the shape of the nose without surgery. In this case, threads are used rather than dermal filler to help refine the nose and improve symmetry.
It is best suited to people looking for a subtle change rather than a major structural correction. The treatment works with the existing shape of the nose, so the result is intended to look natural.
What Does Facial Sculpting Involve?
Facial sculpting uses hyaluronic acid filler to add volume where it is needed, such as through the mid-face or lips. The idea is to improve overall balance rather than focus too heavily on one feature.
Your practitioner will look at your face as a whole, considering how your cheeks, jawline, lips and nose relate to one another, before recommending where treatment will have the most natural-looking effect.
Facial contouring is about proportion and balance rather than dramatic transformation. Results vary from person to person, and your practitioner will talk you through what to expect for your concerns during your consultation.
If skin texture is more of a concern than facial shape, skin rejuvenation and resurfacing may be a more suitable starting point.
