What is face contouring treatment?

Face contouring treatment is a non-surgical approach to reshape and enhance the facial features. By strategically placing fillers, we can tighten the skin, define the cheekbones, and create a more youthful appearance. This treatment is perfect for those looking to address signs of ageing or improve facial symmetry without the need for invasive surgery.

What are facial contouring fillers?

Facial contouring fillers are used as a versatile solution for enhancing facial shape and correcting volume loss. These injectable fillers are carefully selected based on your individual anatomy to restore volume and lift, treat mild jowls, and improve skin laxity. Our combination of treatments may include skin tightening treatments and a thread lift to achieve a defined jawline and address loose skin, enhancing overall facial balance.

Is face contouring worth it?

Face contouring works by restoring volume and improving the contours of the face, patients often experience noticeable results in their appearance. Our team focuses on creating results that align with your beauty goals, ensuring that the outcome is both noticeable and naturally flattering. Considering the long-lasting effects and minimal downtime, face contouring may be a viable treatment option.

Is facial contouring safe?

Facial contouring is considered a safe procedure when performed by qualified and experienced practitioners. We adhere to stringent safety protocols and use high-quality products to minimise risks and ensure the well-being of our patients. Before any treatment, we conduct a thorough consultation to assess suitability and discuss any potential risks, ensuring that facial contouring is a safe and effective option for achieving your desired aesthetic.

How long does face contouring last?

The longevity of face contouring results can vary depending on the types of fillers used and individual patient factors. We primarily use substances for treatments targeting sagging jowls, the mid-face, and the jawline. These can provide a semi-permanent solution, with results lasting anywhere from 6 to 18 months. While not a permanent solution, periodic touch-ups can maintain the desired effects.

How long does it take to recover from facial contouring?

Recovery time after facial contouring is relatively short, with most patients able to resume their normal activities within a few days. Some minor swelling and bruising may occur, but these side effects typically subside quickly. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and swift recovery. We're dedicated to supporting you throughout the recovery process, ensuring you can enjoy your enhanced facial contours as soon as possible.

How painful is facial contouring?

While some patients may experience mild discomfort, we use effective numbing techniques to minimise pain during the treatment. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure or a tingling sensation. Our skilled practitioners are committed to ensuring a comfortable experience from start to finish, allowing you to achieve your aesthetic goals with minimal discomfort.

What is the difference between face sculpting and contouring?

Face sculpting and contouring both aim to enhance facial aesthetics, but they focus on different aspects. Contouring primarily involves adding volume and defining features to create more pronounced facial contours, while sculpting can include both adding and removing volume to reshape the face. By restoring volume and refining facial contours, we can achieve a balanced, harmonious look that highlights your natural beauty. To determine the best approach for your needs, we recommend booking a consultation with our experts.

*Important: Some volumising options may involve a prescription-only medicine. We do not advertise prescription-only medicines to the public. Any such option can only be discussed and, if appropriate, provided after a consultation with a registered medical practitioner. Individual results vary; no outcome is guaranteed.

Are non-surgical options for facial volume & contour worth considering?

It depends on your goals, anatomy, medical history and preferences. A doctor-led consultation in Brisbane will clarify suitability, expected timelines, maintenance needs, risks and alternatives, so you can decide if the approach aligns with your priorities.

Helpful factors to consider:

Desired change: subtle refinement vs more structural change
Timeframe & downtime: how quickly you’d like to see changes and resume routine activities
Maintenance: comfort with periodic reviews to sustain results
Budget: quotes provided after assessment based on areas and plan
Medical suitability: your skin, health history and contraindications

Are non-surgical options for facial volume & contour safe?

When performed by registered medical practitioners and planned after a doctor-led consultation, non-surgical options for facial volume and contour are widely used and can have a favourable safety profile for suitable adults. All procedures carry risks. Temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness are common; less frequent complications (e.g., infection, asymmetry or vascular issues) can occur and will be discussed with you, along with benefits, risks, alternatives and aftercare. Your suitability depends on your medical history, anatomy and goals.

How long can results from non-surgical facial volume & contour care last?

Duration varies by individual and depends on factors such as the area treated, your anatomy and metabolism, the techniques used, lifestyle (e.g., sun exposure, skincare), and maintenance. Non-surgical approaches are temporary and generally require periodic reviews to sustain results. Your practitioner will discuss an expected timeframe and a personalised maintenance plan after a doctor-led consultation.

Recovery after facial volume & contour treatments (Brisbane): what to expect

Recovery time varies by individual and depends on the areas addressed, techniques used, and your personal healing. Many people resume routine activities the same day or within 1–2 days. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur and often settles over several days; some areas may take up to 1–2 weeks to fully settle. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare (e.g., avoiding heat and firm pressure for a short period, gentle skincare, daily SPF) and advise when makeup or exercise can resume.

Is non-surgical facial volume & contour treatment uncomfortable?

Comfort levels vary by individual and the areas treated. Many people describe brief pinching, pressure, or stinging, with mild tenderness afterward. Your practitioner can discuss comfort measures (e.g., topical numbing, cooling, technique adjustments) during your doctor-led consultation. Any post-procedure sensitivity, swelling or bruising typically settles over several days, and personalised aftercare will be provided.

Facial sculpting vs contouring — what’s the difference?

Facial sculpting generally refers to changing overall structure and proportion—for example, supporting volume in areas like the cheeks or chin, or reducing the appearance of fullness to rebalance the face. It focuses on shape and symmetry at a macro level.

Facial contouring focuses on definition and refinement—highlighting edges and angles (e.g., jawline, cheek definition) with more subtle adjustments to improve visual contrast and balance.

In practice, plans often combine both approaches. A doctor-led consultation in Brisbane will assess your anatomy and goals, then outline a personalised, non-surgical plan (and, where appropriate, referrals for surgical options). Results and timelines vary by individual.
