Contour injection plasty

Contour plastic surgery is an injection correction of facial contours using natural fillers. This simple and safe procedure is comparable in effectiveness to plastic surgery. At a young age, it is used for beautification, and at an older age for facial rejuvenation.

Contour plastic surgery allows you to:

• increase the volume and change the shape of the lips;
• emphasize the cheekbones;
• adjust the shape of the chin and nose;
• reduce the severity of nasolabial folds;
• get rid of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks on the skin;
• improve the oval of the face;
• rejuvenate the skin of the neck, décolleté and hands;
• eliminate asymmetry and obtain other aesthetic effects.

During the procedure, gel-like fillers based on natural ingredients are injected under the skin. They do not cause allergies or other complications. The desired effect, as a rule, is provided by only 1 procedure. At the same time, the rehabilitation period is very easy and lasts from 1-2 days to a week, depending on the area.

If previously it was possible to change facial features only with the help of complex plastic surgeries, now the desired effects can be achieved thanks to injection techniques. Contouring is performed on almost all areas of the face, as well as the neck, décolleté and hands.

At Oxford Medical, contouring is performed on the following areas:

• forehead;
• eyebrows;
• the area around the eyes;
• cheekbones;
• cheeks;
• nose;
• nasolabial folds;
• lips;
• chin;
• earlobes;
• neck;
• décolleté;
• hands.

During the procedure, one or several areas are corrected. You can find out the cost of contouring at Oxford Medical in the Prices section.

The result of contouring is noticeable immediately after the procedure, but may fully appear after a few days or a week. At this time, slight redness or swelling of the skin is possible after the injections.

Due to the gel-like consistency, fillers increase the elasticity and elasticity of the skin, as well as increase its volume. This allows you to reduce the severity of wrinkles and scars, enlarge the lips or change the shape of the cheekbones and nose. Fillers also activate the production of collagen and elastin in the tissues, which contributes to the natural improvement of the skin condition.

The effect of contouring lasts on average from 6 to 18 months, as natural fillers gradually dissolve and are excreted from the body.

There is no need to prepare specifically for contouring. You just need to find time for the procedure and 1-2 days to rest after it.

The cosmetologist may also advise not to drink alcohol 3 days before the procedure. If the patient is taking anticoagulants, they should also be temporarily discontinued if possible. This is necessary for the natural clotting of blood at the injection sites.

Before contouring, the patient comes for a preliminary consultation. The cosmetologist assesses the condition of the skin and carefully examines the facial features to determine the location of future injections. An experienced specialist always looks not at a separate area, but at the face as a whole, so that after the procedure everything looks harmonious.

At Oxford Medical, contouring is performed by qualified injection cosmetologists with many years of experience. The clinic uses only high-quality fillers from proven manufacturers to perform the procedure.

Contouring is performed on an outpatient basis. This is a simple procedure that takes from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You can leave the clinic immediately after its completion.

Before the procedure, make-up is removed and the skin is treated with an antiseptic. Then an anesthetic can be applied to it so that there are no unpleasant sensations from subcutaneous injections. In some cases, this is not necessary, since the painkiller is part of the filler.

After the procedure, small traces of injections may remain on the skin and slight swelling and redness may appear. As a rule, these symptoms pass within a few days or weeks. At that time, the result of contouring is fully manifested.

After the procedure, the cosmetologist gives recommendations that must be followed during the recovery period. The main ones are the following:

• For 2-3 days, cosmetics cannot be applied to the skin in the injection area;
• For the same period, it is worth avoiding muscle tension and stretching the skin in the treated area;
• For 2 weeks, you should refrain from washing with hot water, taking a hot bath, visiting the sauna, tanning and other thermal procedures, as well as intensive training;
• Use ointments and creams prescribed by the cosmetologist.

Depending on the area where the contouring was performed and the individual characteristics of the patient, the cosmetologist may give other recommendations.

Natural fillers are well tolerated, so contouring is performed on almost all patients over 18 years of age.

Contraindications to the procedure are only:

• propensity to the formation of keloid scars;
• allergy to the components of the drug used;
• blood diseases;
• autoimmune diseases;
• malignant neoplasms;
• diabetes mellitus in the decompensation stage;
• epilepsy and some other chronic diseases.

Relative contraindications are also acute diseases, wounds, rashes or inflammation on the skin in the area of ​​​​the planned injections, pregnancy and lactation. In these cases, contouring can be performed later.

The advantages of contouring are:

• low invasiveness – fillers are injected under the skin;
• safety – natural preparations do not cause allergies or side effects;
• versatility – the procedure is performed on women and men over 18 years of age;
• obtaining results after 1 procedure;
• maintaining the effect for 6-18 months;
• absence of scars and other traces of the procedure;
• easy and short rehabilitation period;
• natural resorption of fillers and their excretion from the body (there is also an antidote that accelerates the breakdown of the drug).

Contouring is one of the most effective minimally invasive methods of correcting facial contours. In Kiev, at Oxford Medical, the procedure is performed by experienced cosmetologists-injectors, using fillers of European brands. This allows you to predict the result in advance and be confident in the safety of the procedure.
