Facial contouring is a combination of facial treatments that create volume, minimize facial asymmetries, and reduce signs of aging. We are not born perfectly symmetrical, but there are minimally invasive aesthetic treatments that can help us look our best. Dermal fillers can be combined with other injectables or energy devices to create natural contours and beautiful results.

All About Facial Contouring Treatments
Facial contouring rejuvenates a patient’s skin while achieving their desired facial structure. Though everyone has their own perception of beauty, the human eye is drawn to symmetry and balance naturally. Facial symmetry is not often natural, but we strive for equilibrium nonetheless. With the use of dermal fillers, Dr. Kormeili creates a specific treatment plan to improve your facial balance and rejuvenate your appearance.
Derm & Rejuvenation Institute offers many of the most popular injectables and facial treatments, giving you a catalog of choices to find the right combination. Dermal fillers can be injected to address fine lines, wrinkles, and skin imperfections, and to optimize the contour of the face with minimal side effects. (1)
Dermal Fillers
As the face ages, essential tissues start to lose volume, creating small lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and between the eyebrows. This often makes natural asymmetries more prominent and visible, detracting from our best features. Dermal fillers can correct noticeable changes in the face safely and effectively in a short amount of time. They contain substances that already exist in the skin, and when injected, they promote healing and cell production. (2)
With active plumping ingredients, fillers stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. When the skin is rich in collagen, wrinkles and fine lines dissipate, reinvigorating the face for a more youthful appearance. Fillers can be used individually or in combination with other treatments.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
HA fillers are some of the most popular types of injectables used in the United States and Europe today. (2) They are not only used to correct signs of aging but can also simulate facial balance when placed in the right areas. Whether that means correcting one side of the lips, smoothing out a chin imperfection, or adding volume to the cheeks, fillers are versatile and can be placed in most areas of the face.
A few of the most popular hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers used by Dr. Kormeili are:
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers
Another commonly used compound in dermal fillers is calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, a biocompatible material that has the same chemical makeup as teeth and bone. When injected, CaHA is absorbed and replaced by soft tissue growth, increasing volume and adding radiance to the skin. (3)
Common CaHA fillers are:
Other Injectables
For some patients, dermal fillers can be used alone to achieve their desired contour. Depending on their needs, patients may also choose to add Botox to their treatment plan. If you have excess fat collecting near the chin or on the neck, Kybella is an injectable used to dissolve fat in the submental area.
What Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid nose job, involves using fillers to reshape and enhance the appearance of the nose without surgery. By strategically injecting fillers to correct bumps, asymmetries, or drooping nasal tips, we can achieve a more balanced and harmonious nasal profile in a minimally invasive manner.
