At your consultation for non-surgical facial contouring Seattle plastic surgeon Dr. Said meets with you to learn about your cosmetic goals. He listens to your aesthetic concerns and examines the areas of your face that you wish to improve with dermal fillers. Dr. Said determines if you are a good candidate. You can move forward with the procedure on the same day.
Dr. Said helps you decide which facial enhancements will provide the most value based on your unique facial anatomy. Areas such as the nose, cheekbones, temples, lips, and chin can benefit greatly from nonsurgical facial contouring. Dr. Said strives to deliver the best facial contouring Seattle has to offer and creates a non-surgical plan that is customized to your needs. The full cost of services is outlined so you know what to expect before moving forward. For example, considering the so-called liquid rhinoplasty: dubbed “the liquid nose job”, this process sculpts and shapes an attractive nose without resorting to surgery. Dr. Said listens to your concerns and examines your nose to determine if dermal fillers can improve its shape. Fillers can make a dorsal bump less obvious, correct nose asymmetry, and improve facial harmony. Note that fillers cannot make a large nose smaller. Fillers add volume. However, fillers can make the nose bridge appear more harmonious with the rest of your face by improving contours and defects.
Non-surgical face and nose contouring can be done the same day as your consultation.
The process usually takes less than 45 minutes. Your skin may be numbed to make the dermal filler injections more comfortable. There is no need for anesthesia. You can expect to feel a quick pinch and sensation of pressure during injection.
Dr. Said strategically injects the filler into the desired area. He uses a fine needle or cannula to minimize discomfort. Once the filler is placed, Dr. Said artistically shapes the filler by hand to create harmonious facial contours that highlight your best features.
There is no downtime with non-surgical facial contouring. The most common side effects are slight swelling, redness, tenderness, and occasionally bruising. These side effects usually subside in hours to days.
Bruising may take up to two weeks to subside fully. Not everyone develops bruising. Makeup may be worn to easily conceal small bruises. Dr. Said or a member of his staff provide you with aftercare instructions before leaving the appointment. You may be asked to avoid rubbing your face, wearing eyeglasses, vigorous exercise, and sauna use for the first 24 hours. Please ask your physician before using NSAID pain medication and supplements such as Vitamin E. These may increase the risk of bleeding.
Dermal fillers provide instant results. You can see the results before leaving your appointment to continue your day as usual. Depending on the type of filler that is selected, the results can last anywhere from several months to one year or longer. We offer various name-brand dermal fillers from leading manufacturers, such as Juvederm and Restylane.
