Understanding Shape & Contouring

Why Facial and Body Contours Change Over Time

As we age, the face and body undergo gradual structural changes that affect definition and proportion. Bone resorption quietly reduces the foundational support underlying the cheeks, jaw, and chin. Fat pads diminish, softening contours that were once well-defined. Collagen and elastin production slows, allowing skin to lose its firmness. These changes happen across multiple layers simultaneously, which is why a single treatment rarely addresses the full picture.

What Shape & Contour Treatments Deliver

Contouring treatments work by restoring lost volume, stimulating the body's own collagen production, tightening lax tissue, and reducing localized fat that resists lifestyle changes. The goal is to support natural anatomy and proportion, not to create an artificial or exaggerated result.

Our Approach to Shape & Contour

Our providers evaluate each patient's unique structure before recommending treatment. Treatment plans are built around you, using a conservative philosophy that prioritizes results that age gracefully with you.

Our Shape & Contour Treatment Options

Restore Facial Volume and Definition

Facial volume loss affects the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, and lips, often all at once. Your provider may recommend one or a combination of the following treatments:

  • Dermal Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse)
  • Sculptra Aesthetic

How These Treatments Work:

Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) provide precise volume and structural support in targeted areas. Radiesse adds volume while also stimulating collagen for longer-term improvement.

Sculptra gradually stimulates the body's collagen production, improving skin thickness and elasticity over weeks to months. When used together, these treatments address both immediate definition and long-term foundational support.

Best For:

  • Loss of cheek volume or mid-face flattening
  • Soft or undefined jawline and chin
  • Lip volume loss or border definition
  • Minimizing future filler dependency with collagen stimulation

Results:

  • Fillers: immediate; last 12–24 months depending on product and area
  • Sculptra: gradual improvement over 3–6 months; results last 2+ years
  • Minimal downtime; some swelling or bruising possible

Frequently Asked Questions

The best approach depends entirely on your anatomy, skin quality, and goals, which is why a consultation always comes first. Your provider will assess your facial structure and tissue quality before recommending any treatment. 

Not when placed by a skilled, anatomy-trained injector with a conservative philosophy. Fillers are used to restore proportion and support natural structure, not to maximize volume. The goal is always that you look like yourself, refreshed.

Yes. Kybella permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. Once those cells are gone, they cannot accumulate fat again. Most patients require 2–4 sessions to achieve their desired result, and maintenance is generally not needed.

Both use energy to stimulate collagen and tighten skin, but they work differently. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to reach deeper tissue layers, making it ideal for moderate laxity and texture concerns, with a short recovery period.

Sofwave uses ultrasound energy and involves little downtime, making it well-suited for patients seeking subtler lifting with minimal disruption. Your provider will help determine which is appropriate based on your specific concerns.

Yes, many patients benefit from combining a skin-tightening treatment, like Morpheus8, with biostimulators, like Sculptra, to address laxity and underlying volume loss. 

The threads themselves absorb within 6–9 months, but the collagen stimulation they trigger continues to support the skin beyond that. Many patients find results last 12–18 months before considering a touch-up.
