Facial reshaping is a modern aesthetic approach that makes it possible to redefine and restore facial volumes, for a harmonious and rejuvenated appearance.
This technique can be performed in patients of all ages.
Whether to compensate for the effects of time or to enhance natural beauty, facial reshaping must be a personalized solution adapted to each anatomy.
In younger patients, this method makes it possible to accentuate certain characteristics, redefine or create contours, or improve symmetry.
In older patients, physiological changes caused by the passage of time, such as volume loss, skin laxity, and loss of skin density, can alter the balance of facial features, which are restored thanks to this method.
Facial reshaping is part of a contemporary aesthetic approach aimed at restoring youthfulness, balance, and harmony of the features, both in mature faces and in younger faces. Over time, loss of volume, skin laxity, and the appearance of wrinkles alter the overall expression of the face. Conversely, in younger patients, the objective is to define and refine certain features in order to optimize the balance of proportions and
to achieve a naturally harmonious result. Thanks to techniques such as hyaluronic acid injections or collagen inducers, it is possible restore lost volumes, improve contours, and obtain smoother and more radiant skin. Treatments are personalized and adapted to the needs of each age, enhancing the face while respecting each person’s natural beauty.
Facial reshaping makes it possible to address the specific aesthetic needs of patients after the age of thirty, by compensating for volume loss and the effects of aging in order to restore the natural balance of the face and rejuvenate it.
For younger patients, this technique makes it possible to define contours, improve symmetry, and enhance features without surgery.
Hyaluronic acid, Sculptra, and botulinum toxin are the products used; they provide natural and long-lasting results when correctly injected. These products respect skin physiology and allow subtle and progressive corrections, adapted to each morphology and need.
Facial reshaping is a personalized technique, an ideal choice for patients seeking to redefine, correct, or enhance features, whether to compensate for the effects of aging or to enhance natural beauty.
Each area of the face plays an essential role in the overall harmony and balance of the features. Facial reshaping makes it possible to work on these areas in a precise and personalized way to highlight each patient’s natural beauty. Whether it involves redefining the facial oval, adding volume to the cheekbones, refining the jawline, or improving chin definition, each intervention respects the proportions and identity of the face. Thanks to injections of hyaluronic acid, Sculptra, and botulinum toxin, it is possible to reshape each area for harmonious, subtle, and natural results. Each element has strategic importance in creating a harmonious face.
High and well-defined cheekbones are often associated with youth and vitality. They create dimension and structure in the face, highlighting the eyes and lips. Ideally, they are full and slightly rounded, but without being prominent. Beautiful cheekbones contribute to a harmonious profile, adding relief and enhancing facial symmetry.
With age, cheekbones tend to sag due to volume loss and weakening of the subcutaneous tissues. In mature individuals, reshaping aims to restore volumes, lift the cheekbones, and bring structure back to the face
For younger patients, this treatment enhances the height and projection of the cheekbones, providing a sculpted effect that refines and harmonizes the overall face.
Cheekbone beauty standards : Ideal cheekbones are located at the level of the malar bone, creating an ascending angle of approximately forty-five degrees toward the temples. Their curvature should be subtly defined, without excessive projection, in order to preserve the naturalness of the features. According to aesthetic canons of harmonious proportions, the cheekbones occupy approximately one third of the width of the face, aligning with the vertical line passing through the outer corners of the eyes and the horizontal line located at the base of the nose. This configuration contributes to facial balance and definition and is closely associated with notions of elegance and youth.
A smooth, slightly rounded, and wrinkle-free forehead is a sign of youth and serenity. It should form a gently convex curve in women and be straight in men, without being too prominent. A proportionate and harmonious forehead contributes to the softness of facial expression and to the overall balance of the face. Horizontal wrinkles or fine lines can be softened to preserve the radiance and freshness of the gaze.
The forehead, a true barometer of aging, is often one of the first areas marked by the appearance of horizontal wrinkles. In older patients, treatment of this area generally involves botulinum toxin injections, a technique aimed at softening expression lines and restoring a smooth, rested appearance to the skin. In younger patients, these injections can play a preventive role (treating expression lines helps prevent the appearance of static wrinkles), delaying the onset of signs of aging while preserving the natural expressiveness of the face.
Hyaluronic acid injections make it possible to treat possible bumps and hollows and to gently round the forehead.
Forehead beauty standards : a balanced forehead occupies approximately one third of the total length of the face. In profile view, the ideal forehead angle is about 10 degrees relative to the vertical line of the chin. It should have a slight curve, without being too prominent or too flat. Symmetry and the absence of wrinkles or laxity are important criteria for the balance and beauty of the forehead.
Harmonious temples ensure a smooth transition between the forehead and the cheekbones, thus contributing to the balance of the upper third of the face. When they are full and smooth, they give the face a more youthful and rested appearance while opening the gaze. Over time, the progressive hollowing of the temples can disrupt this harmony and give a tired or shadowed expression.
Reshaping this area aims to fill depressions in order to restore temple fullness and soften facial contours. In younger patients, this approach may also be considered to reinforce continuity between the forehead and the cheekbones, thus contributing to better symmetry and optimal balance of the features.
Temple beauty standards : ideal temples are slightly full and smooth, without hollows. The temples are an area of light, not shadow. In terms of proportions, they should ensure aesthetic continuity between the forehead and the cheekbones.
In women, the temples do not exceed in width the most prominent point of the jawline. In men, the jawline exceeds the temple region in width.
The lower limit of the temples does not extend below the eyebrow line.
Harmony between the width of the temples and that of the cheekbones is an essential element of balanced facial architecture, giving the face an elegant morphology of oval or heart shape.
A harmonious nose is often straight or slightly rounded, without humps or depressions. It should integrate naturally with the other elements of the face, without dominating attention. A well-proportioned nose contributes to facial symmetry and balance, highlighting other areas without drawing excessive focus. The tip should be slightly upturned in women for a dynamic and refreshing effect. In men, the nose is generally straighter.
Reshaping of the nose, or medical rhinoplasty, is a non-invasive alternative that makes it possible to correct minor nasal imperfections without surgery. With hyaluronic acid injections, it is possible to smooth a hump, refine the tip, or raise the nasal bridge. In mature individuals, this can compensate for slight sagging related to gravity, while in younger patients, this technique makes it possible to create a harmonious profile without surgical intervention.
Nose beauty standards : a harmonious nose follows the “rule of thirds” : the length of the nose should occupy the central third of the face. The ideal nasofrontal angle, the angle between the nose and the forehead, is approximately 115 to 130 degrees, with a gentle soft curve toward the tip. The nasolabial angle, between the nose and the lips, should be between 90 and 105 degrees for men and slightly more open (100 to 120 degrees) for women. The width of the nose, measured at the base of the nostrils, should be approximately equal to the distance between the eyes. These criteria ensure facial symmetry and balance.
The chin plays a key role in defining the oval of the face. A well-shaped chin, proportionate to the jawline and the other facial elements, is essential for facial balance. It should be neither too prominent nor receding. A harmonious chin is crucial for achieving a clean and elegant jawline. Over time, the chin loses definition and descends.
In younger patients, a well-defined chin contributes to symmetry and the beauty of the profile.
Reshaping this area aims to redefine the oval of the face. Hyaluronic acid injections make it possible to project or refine the chin, ensuring perfect alignment with the jawline and contributing to proper positioning in relation to the nose and lips.
Chin beauty standards : according to classic aesthetic criteria, the ideal chin aligns vertically in harmony with the lips and nostrils when viewed from the front. In profile view, the angle formed between the chin and the jawline should be between 90 and 100 degrees. This angle plays a decisive role in the definition and balance of the jawline. In terms of proportions, the chin is considered ideal when it represents approximately one third of the total height of the lower third of the face, corresponding to the distance between the base of the nose and the lips.
Full and well-defined lips are a symbol of youth and attraction. They should be symmetrical, with a subtle curve that shapes a harmonious Cupid’s bow. The natural volume of the lips may vary, but the ideal is to achieve a balance between the upper and lower lip. Well-hydrated and delicately pink lips add a touch of softness and vitality to the face.
The lips are one of the first areas of the face to lose volume over time, leading to progressive thinning and loosening of their contour. Reshaping aims to restore natural balance, while respecting symmetry and the ideal proportion between the upper and lower lip. In younger patients, this treatment makes it possible to obtain full lips while maintaining a natural and harmonious appearance.
Lip beauty standards : according to aesthetic standards, the lower lip should be slightly fuller than the upper lip, with an ideal ratio of 1 : 1.6 between the upper and lower lip (golden ratio). The Cupid’s bow on the upper lip should be well defined and symmetrical. The width of the lips should be slightly narrower than the distance between the pupils.
Eyebrows frame the gaze and influence the overall facial expression. Well-shaped, slightly arched eyebrows add a touch of elegance. They should be balanced in length and thickness to harmonize with facial features. Well-defined eyebrows rest the gaze, while a slight lift of the arch can illuminate it.
Eyebrow reshaping is important to maintain a fresh and open look. With age, the eyebrows may sag, which can be easily corrected with botulinum toxin* or hyaluronic acid injections. In younger patients, these injections help accentuate the brow arch and slightly elevate it to achieve a brighter gaze.
Beauty standards for the eyebrows : ideally, eyebrows start vertically aligned with the inner corner of the eye and end slightly beyond the outer corner. The brow arch should be located about two-thirds of its length, with an angle of 20 to 25 degrees, which opens the eyes. The distance between the brows should be proportional to the width of the nasal bridge.
(*) 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.
A smooth orbital area is essential for a radiant and rested gaze. Dark circles, which may be pigmented, vascular, or hollow, give a tired appearance. By softening these shadowed areas, the gaze appears more open and luminous.
The tear trough, a groove that forms between the dark circles and the cheeks, plays a central role in facial expression. A pronounced hollow in this area can give a tired or aged appearance, whereas a subtly filled tear trough brings freshness and vitality to the gaze. Located in the natural continuity of the curve linking the cheekbones to the lower eyelid, this area, when full and smooth, is a sign of youth.
The dark circles area and the tear trough tend to hollow over time, resulting in a tired look. Reshaping this area involves the injection of filling products that soften hollows and shadows. In younger patients, this treatment corrects genetically related dark circles, restoring radiance and freshness to the gaze.
Dark circle beauty standards : for a radiant and rested gaze, no shadow should be present in the orbital region. The dark circle area must be smooth, without discoloration or hollows. The transition between the dark circles and the cheeks should be soft, respecting an angle that follows the natural curve of the lower eyelid, without any visible break.
Tear trough beauty standards : a discreet and harmonious fullness characterizes this area, which forms a gentle curve extending from the inner corner of the eye to the cheekbone. This part of the face should be neither hollow nor overly prominent, as this would give an appearance of fatigue and aging. For a natural and rejuvenated effect, the tear trough should blend imperceptibly into the cheek.
Full and slightly rounded cheeks express youthfulness and softness. Ideally, they are neither too hollow nor excessively prominent. Their shape should follow a gentle line that integrates naturally with the other areas of the face. Well-proportioned cheeks contribute to overall facial harmony.
With age, the cheeks tend to hollow and sag, altering the general balance of the face. Cheek reshaping makes it possible to restore their natural volume, thus giving back a soft and youthful appearance. They can be filled with hyaluronic acid injections or lifted by means of the medical lifting technique.
In younger patients, reshaping consists of filling genetically hollow cheeks or may be part of the facial contouring protocol known as the 7/9 points shape.
Cheek beauty standards : ideal cheeks are slightly rounded and follow a gentle curve that begins below the orbit and blends into the cheekbones. The width of the cheeks should be in harmony with that of the cheekbones and temples in order to maintain the overall balance of the face, particularly the central third of the face.
A clean and well-defined jawline is a symbol of youth and a sign of firmness and tissue tone. It should create a visible and continuous demarcation between the face and the neck, without sagging or laxity. A well-shaped jawline plays a decisive role in structuring the facial oval for a sophisticated result. The jawline is an important element for an elegant and balanced profile.
With advancing age, this line tends to lose its sharpness, leading to a progressive alteration of the facial oval. Reshaping techniques then make it possible to restore continuity and definition of the jawline, in order to redraw a harmonious jaw and reestablish a clear separation between the face and the neck.
In younger patients, these interventions are more part of an aesthetic enhancement approach, aimed at accentuating the natural contours of the face for a more ‘defined’ effect.
Jawline beauty standards : the jawline should be well defined and follow a clean curve that starts just below the ear and fades into the chin.
The jaw angle, ideally, should be approximately 120 degrees.
A smooth, even, and luminous skin is youthful and healthy skin. Skin texture should be fine, with no visible imperfections, and the complexion should be even. Firmness and hydration are essential to prevent skin laxity and maintain a fresh complexion. Beautiful skin is fundamental for a radiant and rested face.
Skin quality is fundamental to the overall beauty of the face. Skin care includes treatments such as mesolift , PRX-T33 peel, retinol peel, or Skinboosters, which help improve radiance, firmness, and skin hydration. These techniques are useful at any age to obtain or maintain smooth, even, and luminous skin.
Skin beauty standards : smooth and even skin is a sign of good health and youth. According to classic standards, the skin should be free of spots, de wrinkles and should have a fine texture with a slight natural glow. In fact, elasticity, hydration, and firmness are the characteristics of youth.
The cost of facial reshaping is based on a personalized approach, established after a thorough medical assessment. The final amount depends on the extent of the corrections required, the products used, and the specific needs of each patient. There is no fixed price, but an indicative pricing grid provides a general idea prior to the consultation.
For Sculptra, a budget of 900 CHF per vial should be planned. Hyaluronic acid injections are billed at 600 CHF per syringe. This price may vary depending on the treated area, the type of product used, and the corrections to be performed.
In addition, certain treatments may be proposed to improve skin quality and firmness. The PRX-T33 peel is priced at 200 CHF, the mesolift at 300 CHF, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) at 500 CHF. Skinboosters, intended to deeply hydrate and plump the skin, are priced at 400 CHF per syringe, with two syringes often indicated.
For botulinum toxin, in women, an injection of a single area – whether the forehead, the glabella, or the crow’s feet – is offered at 300 CHF. When two areas are treated, the price is 450 CHF, and it rises to 600 CHF for three areas. In men, whose musculature is generally stronger, higher doses are required. Thus, treatment of one area is billed at 350 CHF, two areas at 500 CHF, and three areas at 650 CHF.
The entire protocol is established and discussed in detail during the first medical consultation. This appointment makes it possible to define priority treatment axes and to provide a personalized estimate, offering a clear and transparent view of the overall cost of the procedure.
To redefine and restore facial volumes, several non-invasive techniques are available :
• Hyaluronic acid injections to fill hollows, restore volumes, and define contours.
• Thread lifts to reposition sagging tissues and redraw the oval of the face.
• Skinboosters to deeply hydrate and restore subtle volume.
• Lipofilling, an autologous fat transfer technique for a natural and long-lasting result.
These techniques are adapted according to the specific needs and aesthetic goals of each patient.
Hyaluronic acid, thanks to its volumizing properties, makes it possible to fill hollow areas (such as the temples, cheeks, and dark circles), redefine the cheekbones and the jawline, and improve chin projection. By restoring natural volumes, the face regains harmonious proportions and appears lifted.
Yes, volume restoration procedures are suitable for all ages. In young adults, treatments can be performed to enhance certain facial features (such as the lips, cheekbones, or chin) or to correct asymmetries. In older patients, injections aim to restore volumes lost due to aging and to redefine contours. Each protocol is personalized according to expectations and needs.
Hyaluronic acid injections fill hollows, restore volumes, and improve hydration, providing a lifted and more youthful effect. Thread lifts reposition sagging tissues, while treatments such as radiofrequency or ablative lasers stimulate collagen production to firm the skin. Combined, these techniques help correct laxity and restore facial harmony.
Expected results include a more balanced facial appearance, redefined contours, restored volume, and harmonious facial proportions. The face appears refreshed, youthful, and natural.
