Facial Contour - Lower Face Outline
in Paris by Dr Weiss
The facial contour is the lower part of the face at the border with the neck. To appear youthful, this contour must be as clean as possible, characterised by a complete absence of jowls, and contours perfectly defined by the mandible.
Problems
With the ageing process and skin laxity, following loss of skin tone, and simply under the effect of gravity, our facial contours change, they sag and loosen, leading to the formation of jowls.
The cervico-mental angle, i.e. the angle between the chin and the neck, opens. To be ideal, it should be as close to 80 degrees as possible. Of course, depending on individual anatomy, the insertion of the neck above the mandible varies. It is unrealistic to expect a perfect cervico-mental angle in someone who has always had, even in youth, a much more open angle.
If in addition a double chin appears, we are faced with one of the most frequent requests concerning the facial contour.
Very frequently, women lying down looking in the mirror realise their true request: erase the most visible signs of facial ageing.
Solutions
Fortunately, modern cosmetic surgery and aesthetic medicine can offer a full range of solutions to meet patient demands. Solutions are very gradual, from the softest and most temporary to the most significant and long-lasting.
Dr Weiss will explain the technical feasibility according to your anatomical reality during the consultation, following a thorough clinical examination.
- To improve the contour of the facial oval and reduce jowls, various types of facelifts are offered, starting with the mini facelift, purely cutaneous, the facelift with mass retention, and ending with the king of facelifts, the Cervico-Facial Facelift, i.e. the face and neck lift, MACS Lift or Combined Facelift
- For excess fat under the chin, submental liposuction is proposed, sometimes combined with facial contour liposuction.
- For minor contour defects, fat transfer (lipofilling) or filling with hyaluronic acid-based volumisers is proposed.
