Face Contouring

At Wave Plastic Surgery

Face Contouring in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco

Do you ever look in the mirror and feel like certain facial features appear disproportionate or out of balance? Perhaps you’re bothered by a too-wide jawline, overly prominent cheekbones, or fullness in the lower face that creates a rounded appearance. These common concerns can affect not only your facial harmony but also your confidence in social and professional settings. 

At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced facial contouring procedures specifically designed to address these imbalances. Our expert surgeons combine artistic vision with technical precision to create beautifully balanced, naturally proportioned facial contours that enhance your unique features while maintaining your distinct character and ethnicity.

What Is Facial Contouring?

Facial contouring refers to a category of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to enhance and reshape the structural elements of your face. These specialized treatments can help achieve a more balanced, harmonious appearance by sculpting your jaw, chin, or cheeks according to your aesthetic goals.

At Wave Plastic Surgery, our globally renowned surgeons specialize in facial contouring procedures that can give your face a more balanced look by adding fullness, raising your cheekbones, emphasizing your chin, or strengthening your jawline. Whether you’re concerned about facial asymmetry, signs of aging, or simply wish to enhance your natural features, our comprehensive approach offers solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Our Face Contouring Procedures

If you are considering facial contouring, Wave Plastic Surgery offers both surgical and non-surgical alternatives to help you achieve your goals. Here are some of our most popular Face Contouring services:

While well-defined, prominent cheekbones are considered aesthetically pleasing, some people, especially those with East Asian backgrounds, are prone to have excessively prominent cheekbones that do not look proportional or balanced with the rest of their facial features.

Through cheek reduction surgery, patients can expect to enjoy an enhanced appearance, more defined features and more defined cheeks, as well as a more narrow face shape. This procedure is particularly popular among patients looking to achieve a softer, more oval facial appearance.

The size of the jawbone is what determines the width of the lower face. If the bone is thick and wide or the muscle is thick and bulky, it will result in a widened face.

To reduce the size of the jaw line, the bone is carefully filed down and a portion of the muscle is removed. The muscle will still function properly, but the fullness will be decreased. This will create a more oval-shaped jaw line with a softer and smoother angle.

Our expert surgeons at Wave Plastic Surgery have extensive experience in jaw reduction procedures, helping patients achieve a more balanced facial profile with natural-looking results.

The layer of fat around the cheek area is called buccal fat. This feature can be hereditary or can develop over time, causing a rounded, chubby or ‘chipmunk’ appearance. Reducing buccal fat through a cheek reduction surgery will give the face a more contoured, shapely aesthetic.

The amount of buccal fat varies with each individual patient. The procedure may be performed alone, or in conjunction with facelift. Wave’s expert Plastic Surgeons can help you achieve a more balanced, refined look by removing excess buccal fat and creating more defined cheekbones.

The Precision Lift is a specialized laser system combined with liposuction to treat the changes of aging and weight gain in the lower face and neck. The Precision Lift was created to fill a significant gap between a formal facelift and a noninvasive skin tightening procedure, like Ultherapy.

This minimally invasive procedure can effectively address early jowling, excess fat under the chin, and loss of definition along the jawline, providing remarkable results with less downtime than traditional surgical approaches.

FaceTite is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment. Unlike some of the other radio-frequency treatments, patients typically see results from FaceTite quite quickly. It could be as soon as immediately or after a few days. Results will continue to improve over time and can last for up to five years.

This advanced technology uses controlled radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and melt fat simultaneously, making it an excellent option for patients seeking facial contouring without surgery. FaceTite can effectively address concerns in the lower face, jowls, and neck areas, including double chin.

  • Options for both Facial Plastic Surgery and Non-Surgical Face Treatments

Ideal Candidates for Facial Contouring

You may be an ideal candidate for facial contouring if you:

  • Have concerns about facial asymmetry
  • Feel that certain areas of your face lack definition
  • Have excess fullness in the cheeks, jaw, or chin areas
  • Desire a more sculpted, defined facial appearance
  • Are in good overall health

During your consultation, our expert plastic surgeons will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine which facial contouring procedures would best address your concerns, including whether you may benefit from is there surgery to make my face symmetrical.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies depending on which facial contouring procedures you undergo:

  • Surgical procedures like malar reduction and mandible reduction typically require 1-2 weeks of downtime, with initial swelling and bruising gradually subsiding over several weeks.
  • Minimally invasive procedures like Precision Lift may require 3-7 days of recovery time.
  • Non-surgical treatments like FaceTite often involve minimal downtime, with patients returning to normal activities within a few days.

Results from facial contouring procedures can be both immediate and progressive. While you may notice changes right away, optimal results typically develop over several weeks to months as swelling resolves and tissues settle into their new contours.

For patients seeking additional enhancement, we also offer Fat Transfer and Double Pure Fat Grafting to restore volume in strategic areas while contouring others.
