Remodelling

Facial reshaping encompasses all medical procedures that affect the appearance of the face. Its main objective is to harmonise the aesthetic appearance of the face, often through cosmetic surgery or aesthetic medicine.

There are two main categories of facial reshaping techniques: surgical procedures and hyaluronic acid injections. Here are the main features to bear in mind if you’re considering facial reshaping.

• Surgical procedures: these treatments enhance specific facial features to create overall harmony. Surgery is the only approach that offers long-lasting, definitive results tailored to each individual. In all cases, regardless of the area being treated, an initial consultation with a doctor is essential to establish a personalised treatment plan. The doctor will work with you to define your goals, taking into account your medical history and any ongoing treatments. Claris Clinic offers two types of facial reshaping procedures:
  • Surgical Rhinoplasty: corrects the appearance of the nose by changing its shape and volume.
  • Otoplasty: consists mainly in correcting the shape of the auricle, often to erase a natural ear protrusion.
    Hyaluronic acid injections
• Facial reshaping procedures are not necessarily surgical. They also include injections of hyaluronic acid already naturally present in the body. Hyaluronic acid is used to fill in sagging areas or wrinkles, restoring a more harmonious volume to the area injected. The advantage of hyaluronic acid injections is that they are performed by the doctor in a twenty-minute session, and results are visible immediately afterwards. However, repeat sessions are necessary to maintain a constant result, as the acid gradually disappears from the tissues and its effects fade over time.

All areas of the face can be treated, although certain areas, such as the eyelids, are more often addressed as part of rejuvenation rather than reshaping. Based on your individual goals and expectations, the doctor will help determine the most suitable treatment approach.

Like any medical procedure, facial reshaping carries certain risks. The side effects and potential complications vary with the technique, and only a qualified doctor can explain what to expect after treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical.

Surgery requires general anaesthesia to ensure patient immobility. Certain medical histories or treatments may therefore be incompatible with such procedures. In addition, the recovery period following surgery can last from one to several weeks and can be uncomfortable.

This is why follow-up by a specialist doctor is essential to guarantee the safety of every patient. Post-operative follow-up sessions are planned in advance for this purpose. The details of this support are personalised and agreed with the doctor to best suit your needs and ensure safe care.

In the case of hyaluronic acid injections, certain side effects, although rare, may be observed in the days following the administration session. Redness and swelling may appear, but resolve spontaneously within a few days.

In rarer cases, infections or allergic reactions may occur, which is why follow-up with your doctor is essential. Although routine post-operative appointments may not always be required, being aware of these risks allows for prompt and effective management.

The most appropriate treatment is the one tailored to your individual needs, as there is no single solution suitable for everyone. This is why a range of facial contouring options is available. Based on your expectations and medical history, the doctor will help you define the most suitable treatment plan.
