Contouring
Perth
Definition, structure, and balance — without surgery. Facial contouring at Skin Societé starts with a full facial anatomy assessment by a qualified dermal clinician.
What Is Non-Surgical Facial Contouring?
Facial contouring is the use of injectable treatments — primarily dermal filler — to reshape, define, or balance specific facial features without surgery. It is one of the most technically demanding applications of cosmetic injectables, requiring a clinician with both anatomical knowledge and an eye for facial proportion.
The goals vary widely by patient: some want a sharper, more defined jawline; others want to improve a recessed chin profile; others want to lift and volumise flat cheekbones. Some want a combination that improves the overall balance of their face rather than any single feature.
What differentiates facial contouring from general dermal filler is the emphasis on structure and proportion. A contouring assessment considers the face as a complete three-dimensional object, not a collection of individual areas to address. Results that look remarkable — rather than just obvious — come from treating the face as a whole.
The Facial Balancing Assessment
At Skin Societé, every facial contouring consultation includes a facial balancing assessment. This is a structured evaluation of your facial proportions — looking at symmetry, the relationship between facial thirds, the balance between the profile (side-on) and the frontal view, and how existing volume distribution is affecting your overall appearance.
Many patients come in focused on a specific area — often the jaw or the chin — without realising that the issue they’re seeing is being caused or compounded by something else. A flat mid-face can make the jaw appear poorly defined. A recessed chin can make a normal nose appear large. Volume loss in the temples can make the lower face appear heavier.
Your clinician will explain what they are seeing, show you the relationship between areas, and recommend a treatment priority — starting with the change that will have the most meaningful impact on your overall appearance.
Understanding Facial Thirds
A fundamental tool in facial contouring assessment is the concept of facial thirds — a way of evaluating how the upper, middle, and lower portions of the face are proportioned relative to one another.
Upper Third
Hairline to brow. Volume concerns here are typically addressed at the temples. This area is often overlooked — hollow temples create a drawn, older appearance that affects the whole face.
Middle Third
Brow to base of nose. The cheeks sit here. Mid-face volume loss is one of the most common and impactful changes associated with ageing — and the most influential area for facial contouring.
Lower Third
Nose base to chin. The jawline and chin define this region. Contouring here creates structural definition and improves the profile — often in combination with mid-face work for balanced results.
Facial Contouring Areas
Jawline
Definition along the jaw creates a sharper, more structured lower face appearance. Can address softening of the jaw angle, jowling, or an irregular jawline profile. One of the most requested contouring treatments.
Chin
Chin projection and profiling improves the relationship between the chin, nose, and jawline. Can elongate, widen, project, or square the chin depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals. Transformative in profile.
Cheeks
Cheek augmentation restores or adds volume to the mid-face, creating lift, highlighting the cheekbones, and improving the structural foundation that supports the entire lower face.
Temples
Hollow temples are a significant but underappreciated contributor to facial ageing. Restoring temple volume creates a smoother facial frame and a more rested, balanced overall appearance.
Jawline and Chin Combined
The jawline and chin work together to define the lower facial structure. Treating them as a unit — assessing balance between the two — produces the most structured, natural-looking contouring results.
Full Facial Balancing
A comprehensive contouring plan addresses multiple areas in a sequenced, proportional way. Your clinician may recommend starting with one area and reviewing before proceeding — this staged approach consistently produces the best long-term results.
What to Expect — Realistic Outcomes
Facial contouring with injectable treatments can achieve meaningful, visible results. It cannot replicate surgical outcomes, and an ethical clinician will tell you this clearly. The goal is improvement, balance, and refinement — not a total transformation.
The most successful facial contouring patients are those who come to a consultation with a clear sense of what bothers them, an openness to hearing an expert assessment of what can realistically be achieved, and a willingness to approach treatment in stages rather than expecting everything in one session.
At Skin Societé, our clinicians will always prioritise your long-term outcome over a large treatment plan on day one. Conservative, staged treatment produces better results and builds the trust that leads to the right outcome over time.
After Your Contouring Treatment
Structural contouring treatments in areas like the jawline and chin involve minimal downtime. Some swelling and tenderness at injection sites is normal for 24–48 hours. Bruising is possible, particularly along the jaw. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Full results are visible at 2–4 weeks once any swelling has resolved and the product has settled fully. A follow-up review is available at Skin Societé to assess the result and plan any next steps in your treatment journey.
Written aftercare instructions and direct clinician contact details are provided at every treatment appointment.
