3D facial contouring is an innovative, non-surgical aesthetic medicine treatment designed to sculpt and redefine the contours of the face. Using minimal amounts of hyaluronic acid, this technique enhances natural beauty by refining the curves of key facial areas such as the temples, cheekbones, chin, nose, and jawline. It also subtly rejuvenates the eyes and lips, creating a harmonious and natural result.
This technique improves the harmony and balance of facial features without surgery. It relies on injectable products—mainly hyaluronic acid—to restore volume, redefine contours, and correct asymmetries in a subtle and physiologically respectful way.
With a thorough facial analysis and expert use of advanced techniques, 3D contouring addresses each patient’s specific needs. The aim is to deliver natural-looking results tailored to the individual’s morphology and expressions, using a medically rigorous and safe approach.
The treatment involves injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid at varying depths in strategically selected areas of the face.
Depending on the patient’s anatomy, different types of hyaluronic acid are used.
Dr. Romano uses the Restylane range and selects products of varying firmness and viscosity based on the desired effect.
The goal is to sculpt volume and contours to create subtle interplay between light and shadow. The face is enhanced globally, in three dimensions—making it a sophisticated contouring technique for a balanced and harmonious profile.
Botox injections are often performed as a complement, to slim the face and open the eyes by treating muscles responsible for crow’s feet and frown lines.
This treatment is ideal for patients seeking a soft, natural transformation. Subtle by design, it delivers visible yet discreet results. By enhancing each contour in a personalized way, 3D facial contouring is a non-invasive alternative that, in expert hands, guarantees a refined and elegant facial enhancement.
This technique offers several benefits.
• Natural and subtle results : 3D facial contouring is based on using the minimum amount of product, following the "less is more" approach. When performed by an expert physician, this treatment provides a natural effect without weighing down the features.
• Improved brightness and facial structure : thanks to precise volume sculpting, this technique creates a lifting and firming effect while illuminating key areas of the face. The objective is to enhance and highlight the natural curves and angles by balancing light and shadow.
• Little to no downtime : unlike surgical procedures, 3D contouring does not cause social downtime. Daily activities can be resumed immediately after treatment.
Every face is unique, and this treatment is designed to adapt to the needs and goals of each patient without ever altering their distinctive features. During the consultation, a personalized treatment plan is established to determine the areas to treat and the amount of hyaluronic acid needed to achieve the desired effect.
The entire face is treated, but certain zones are precisely reshaped.
• Temples : often overlooked, the temples play a crucial role in facial balance. Over time, they may hollow out, giving a tired or harsh appearance. Filling this area restores brightness and freshness to the gaze. The face looks rejuvenated and the eyes more naturally open.
• Cheekbones : cheekbones are an essential beauty feature, shaping the face and adding dimension.
The 3D contouring technique enhances this area for an immediate lifting effect. This delicate contour catches the light, making the face look fresher and more dynamic. Well-sculpted cheekbones illuminate the face and give it a youthful glow.
• Nose : non-surgical nose reshaping corrects minor imperfections such as a bump or slight asymmetry without altering the facial features. With hyaluronic acid injections, the nose is subtly redefined for a more balanced profile in perfect harmony with the rest of the face.
• Lips : lips symbolize sensuality and are essential to facial harmony. They can be reshaped to achieve a natural and elegant volume. Hyaluronic acid is used precisely to create a gentle curve and highlight the contour. The result is subtle : full, soft, hydrated, and harmonious lips that blend perfectly with the other facial features.
• Jawline : a well-defined jawline is synonymous with beauty and character. The 3D contouring technique sculpts this area for a sharp and refined jaw. In men, it enhances a strong, masculine appearance, while in women, the contour is subtly softened to maintain an elegant and feminine look. The result is a more harmonious and better-structured facial oval.
• Chin : the chin is essential to facial balance. Too receded or too prominent, it can disrupt the harmony of the features. 3D contouring adjusts its shape and volume for a more elegant profile and a visibly more balanced oval.
• Eyes : the 3D contouring technique can open and brighten the gaze. Botox injections and filling of the dark circles and upper eyelids with hyaluronic acid help reduce shadows and hollows, restoring radiance and youth to the eyes. The result is a more relaxed face, with a lively and alert gaze that naturally catches the light.
The cost of 3D Facial Contouring depends on the products used, the areas to be treated, and the number of syringes or vials required to achieve a result that is both natural and harmonious. Hyaluronic acid is one of the key components of this protocol. In most cases, the syringe is priced at 600 CHF, but depending on the targeted area and the viscosity of the selected product, the cost may vary between 650 CHF and 900 CHF. In cases of excessive muscle contraction or localized hypertrophy — especially in the masseter area — botulinum toxin injections may be recommended. The price is 600 CHF for the first vial and 350 CHF for each additional vial. Depending on muscle strength assessed during the consultation, one to three vials may be needed. Harmonization of the upper third of the face may also include Botox injections in the forehead, glabella (frown lines), or crow’s feet. For women, the price ranges from 300 CHF for one area, 450 CHF for two areas, and 600 CHF for three areas. For men, who generally require higher doses, the prices are 350 CHF for one area, 500 CHF for two areas, and 650 CHF for three areas. The final quote is established after an in-depth medical consultation to precisely determine the volumes to correct, the most suitable products, and the strategy best adapted to the patient’s morphology and expectations.
Hyaluronic acid injections restore lost volume, fill in hollows, and precisely redefine facial contours. Thanks to its volumizing and hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid sculpts strategic areas such as the cheekbones, chin, or jawline, offering a natural and harmonious lifting effect. The technique involves targeted injections to restore balance and harmony to the face.
The most commonly treated areas with hyaluronic acid include :
• Cheekbones to restore volume and redefine their natural contour.
• Chin to improve projection and refine the facial oval.
• Jawline to enhance definition and correct sagging contours.
• Nose for minor corrections through non-surgical rhinoplasty.
• Lips to redefine the shape and add volume while maintaining a natural appearance.
• Nasolabial folds and tear troughs to smooth and rejuvenate the eye area.
For the chin, hyaluronic acid enhances projection and definition, helping to balance facial proportions. For the nose, injections correct irregularities, improve the profile, and offer a non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty. Regarding the jawline, injections reshape the lower face, reduce the appearance of jowls, and refine the facial oval for a sharper, more defined contour.
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections offer subtle and natural rejuvenation. Around the eyes, they fill hollow tear troughs, reduce shadows, and brighten the gaze. For the lips, hyaluronic acid hydrates, defines the lip contour, and adds volume naturally—without excess—while correcting asymmetries.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections are immediate and typically last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the treated area, the type of product used, and the patient’s metabolism. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong and optimize the results.
