Oval Contouring & Slimming

A refined face oval comes from the right balance of fat pads, muscle tone, skin support, and bone structure. My approach is anatomy-led and conservative: we slim what’s heavy, support what’s weak, and keep expressions natural—so your jawline looks clean, not hollow.

What you may want to improve

Full lower face or “square” angle from masseter overactivity
Blurry jawline / early jowls and soft cervico-mental (chin–neck) angle
Mid-cheek heaviness that hides cheek definition
Submental fullness (“double chin”) despite healthy weight
Asymmetry where one side reads heavier than the other

Non-surgical options (minimal downtime)

Slim Lower Face (Masseter) — targeted neuromodulation to ease clenching and narrow the lower third gradually while keeping bite function.

Nefertiti Lift — addresses platysma pull and improves jaw–neck definition when laxity—not fat—is the driver.

Dermal Fillers (structural) — subtle chin projection and jawline support to sharpen edges without bulk; always conservative and anatomy-safe.

Submental contouring with deoxycholic acid — selective reduction of under-chin fat in suitable candidates (case-by-case; staged).

Skin quality enhancers — Skin Boosters, Polynucleotides, Mesobotox, and Chemical Peels to improve texture and light bounce so contours look cleaner.

Safety first: reversible HA for contouring, vascular-safety protocols, conservative dosing, and staged reviews.

Structural options (when anatomy truly requires it)

Buccal Fat Removal — for carefully selected round faces with persistent mid-cheek fullness; never in thin or hollowing faces.

Submental Liposuction / Micro-lipo — defines the cervico-mental angle and reduces a true fat pad; can be paired with platysma work.

Chin Surgery (Genioplasty) — precise bony advance/lengthen/centre to restore projection and tighten the soft-tissue drape naturally.

Facelift & Neck Lift — when support loss (not fat) blunts the jawline; deep-plane techniques restore position with a calm, natural look.

Jawline Implant — selected cases needing added mandibular angle/edge when soft tissue is adequate but bony support is limited

Smart sequencing

Diagnose the driver (fat vs muscle vs support)
Reversible first: masseter modulation ± deoxycholic acid (submental) + skin quality
Refine edges: conservative structural fillers (chin/jawline)
Commit if needed: buccal fat removal, submental micro-lipo, or surgical lift for durable definition

Typical timelines (indicative)

Masseter modulation:

onset 1–2 weeks, peak 6–8 weeks;
review 8–12 weeks

Deoxycholic acid (submental):

swelling 3–5 days;
contour refines over 6–8 weeks;
often 2–3 sessions

Fillers:

minor marks 24–48 h;
integration 2–4 weeks

Buccal Fat Removal / Submental Micro-lipo:

social downtime 3–7 days;
contour settles 4–12 weeks

Facelift & Neck Lift:

social downtime 10–14 days;
maturation 4–12 weeks

FAQs

Will slimming make me look older?

Not if we respect Slim–Support balance. We never over-thin; we pair reduction with structural support and skin quality so the face stays fresh.

Buccal fat removal for everyone?

No. It’s selective—best for persistent mid-cheek fullness in thicker faces. In slim faces it can age the mid-face; we avoid it.

Fillers for a slimmer look?

Counter-intuitive but true: precise chin/jaw support can make the lower face appear slimmer by improving light–shadow and edge definition.

Double chin: injection or lipo?

Small pads + great skin → deoxycholic acid may suit. Larger pads or skin–muscle components → micro-lipo (often more efficient). We assess clinically.
