3D FACIAL CONTOURING WITH HYALURONIC ACID

What is 3D facial modeling or 3D facial contouring ?

3D facial modeling is an innovative aesthetic-oriented medicine treatment, specifically designed to redefine facial contours. Based on the use of small amounts of hyaluronic acid, this technique aims to enhance natural beauty by improving facial curves, particularly those of the temples, cheekbones, chin, nose, and jawline. This method also achieves subtle rejuvenation of the eyes and lips, resulting in a harmonious and natural outcome.

3D Facial Contouring in Geneva 

3D facial modeling is an aesthetic-oriented medicine technique designed to improve the harmony and balance of facial features without resorting to surgery. This method is based on the use of injectable products, hyaluronic acid, to restore volumes, redefine contours, and correct asymmetries in a subtle manner that respects natural physiology.

Thanks to an in-depth analysis of each face and mastery of advanced techniques, 3D modeling makes it possible to address the specific needs of each patient. The objective is to offer natural results, adapted to the patient’s morphology and expressions, based on a rigorous and safe medical approach.

How does 3D Facial Contouring work ?

This treatment is based on the injection of hyaluronic acid in small quantities, at different depths, at strategic points in certain key areas of the face.
Depending on the patient’s anatomy, different types of hyaluronic acid will be used.
Dr. Romano uses a highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid brand; within this range, the doctor selects products with different firmness and viscosity depending on the desired effect.
The goal is to sculpt volumes and contours to create subtle plays of light and shadow. The face is thus enhanced as a whole and in three dimensions, making this a precise “contouring” technique for harmonious features and a balanced profile.
Injections of botulinum toxin are also performed to open the gaze*, which is possible by treating the muscles responsible for crow’s feet and frown lines.

(*) Botulinum toxin is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe vertical lines between the eyebrows, visible when frowning to the maximum (frown lines), and/or moderate to severe lateral lines (crow’s feet) visible during a maximum smile, when they cause significant psychological distress in adult patients.
The brow lift is not an indication for botulinum toxin; however, treatment of crow’s feet and frown lines creates a brow-lifting effect.

Why choose 3D Facial Contouring ?

3D modeling is ideal for people who want a gentle and natural transformation of their face. By focusing on subtlety, this method is designed to deliver a visible yet discreet result. By enhancing each face in a personalized way, 3D modeling is a non-invasive alternative that, in experienced hands, guarantees an elegant and sophisticated enhancement of the face.

Benefits of 3D Facial Contouring

This technique offers several benefits.
• Natural and subtle results : 3D facial modeling is based on the use of a minimal amount of product, following the “less is more” approach. Performed by an expert physician, this treatment makes it possible to achieve a natural effect without weighing down the features.
• Improvement of facial radiance and structure : thanks to precise volume sculpting, this technique provides a lifting and firming effect and illuminates certain key areas of the face. The objective is to enhance and highlight natural curves and angles by creating a balance between areas of light and shadow.
• Little or no recovery time : unlike surgical procedures, 3D modeling does not cause social downtime. Daily activities can be resumed immediately after the treatment.

Areas treated with 3D Facial Contouring

Each face is unique, and this treatment is designed to adapt to the needs and objectives of each patient without ever altering their unique features. During the consultation, a personalized treatment plan is established to determine the areas to be treated and the amount of hyaluronic acid to be used to achieve the desired effect.
The entire face is treated, but certain areas are precisely reshaped.

• Temples : the temples, often neglected, play an essential role in facial balance. Over time, the temples can become hollow, giving a tired or severe appearance. Filling this area restores radiance and freshness to the gaze. The face is rejuvenated and the eyes appear naturally more open.
• Cheekbones : the cheekbones are an essential element of beauty, they shape the face.
The 3D modeling technique makes it possible to restore volume and curvature in this area for an immediate lifting effect. This delicate contour attracts light, making the face appear fresher and more dynamic. Well-defined cheekbones illuminate the face and give it a youthful glow.
• Nose : non-surgical modeling of the nose makes it possible to correct small imperfections, such as a hump or slight asymmetry, without altering the features. Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, the nose is subtly redefined for a more balanced profile, in perfect harmony with the rest of the face.
• Lips : the lips symbolize sensuality and are essential to facial harmony. They can be reshaped to achieve a natural and elegant volume. Hyaluronic acid is used with precision to create a gentle curve and enhance the contour. The result is subtle : full, soft, hydrated, and harmonious lips that integrate perfectly with the other elements of the face.

• Jawline : a well-defined jawline is synonymous with beauty and character. The 3D modeling technique makes it possible to sculpt this area for a clean and refined jaw. In men, this enhances a masculine and powerful appearance, while in women, the contour is subtly softened to maintain an elegant and feminine line. The result is a more harmonious and better-structured facial oval.
• Chin : the chin is essential to facial balance. Too recessed or too prominent, it can disrupt the harmony of the features. 3D modeling adjusts its shape and volume for a more elegant profile and a visibly more balanced oval.
• Gaze : the 3D modeling technique can open and illuminate the gaze. Botulinum toxin injections and filling of dark circles and upper eyelids with hyaluronic acid injections help reduce shadows and hollows, restoring radiance and youthfulness to the eyes. The result is a more rested face, with a bright and alert gaze that naturally captures the light.

What is the price of 3D facial modeling ?

The cost of 3D facial modeling depends on the products used, the areas to be treated, as well as the number of syringes or vials required to achieve a result that is both natural and harmonious.
Hyaluronic acid is one of the key elements of this protocol. In most cases, the syringe is billed at CHF 600, but depending on the targeted area and the viscosity of the selected product, the price may vary between CHF 650 and CHF 900.
Harmonization of the upper third of the face (treatment of dynamic wrinkles) may also include botulinum toxin injections in the forehead, the glabella (frown lines), or the crow’s feet. In women, the fee ranges from CHF 300 for one area, CHF 450 for two areas, and CHF 600 for three areas. In men, who generally require higher doses, prices are CHF 350 for one area, CHF 500 for two areas, and CHF 650 for three areas.
The final estimate is established after an in-depth medical consultation, making it possible to precisely define the volumes to be corrected, the products to be prioritized, and the strategy best suited to the patient’s morphology and expectations.

How do hyaluronic acid injections make it possible to sculpt and redefine facial contours ?

Hyaluronic acid injections make it possible to restore lost volumes, fill hollows, and precisely redefine facial contours. Thanks to its volumizing and hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid reshapes strategic areas such as the cheekbones, chin, or jawline, providing a natural and harmonious lifting effect. The technique consists of injecting the product in a targeted manner to restore facial balance and harmony.

The areas most frequently treated with hyaluronic acid are :
• Cheekbones to restore volume and redefine their natural curve.
• Chin to improve projection and refine the oval of the face.
• Jawline to enhance definition and correct sagging contours.
• Nose for minor corrections through medical rhinoplasty.
• Lips to redefine the contour and add volume while maintaining a natural effect.
• Nasolabial folds and dark circles to smooth and rejuvenate the eyes.

For the chin, hyaluronic acid helps improve projection and definition and balance facial proportions. For the nose, injections correct irregularities, enhance the profile, and offer a non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty. As for the jawline, injections redefine the jaw, reduce the appearance of jowls, and refine the oval of the face, creating a sharper and more defined contour.

Yes, hyaluronic acid injections provide subtle and natural rejuvenation. Around the eyes, they fill hollow dark circles, reduce shadows, and restore radiance. For the lips, hyaluronic acid hydrates them, redefines the contour, and adds volume in a natural way, without excess, while correcting asymmetries.

The results of hyaluronic acid injections are immediate and last on average between 12 and 18 months, depending on the treated area, the type of product used, and the patient’s metabolism. Maintenance sessions can be carried out to prolong and optimize the results.
