Remodel

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

There are two main families 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 improve the aesthetics of certain parts of the face, helping to harmonize it. Surgery is the only way to guarantee definitive results, visible over the long term, and tailored to each individual patient. In all cases, whatever the area of the face concerned, an initial consultation with a doctor is essential to establish an initial contact and a protocol. The doctor will work with you to define your needs, taking into account your medical history and treatments. Claris Clinic can perform 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 acidalready 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.

It is possible to intervene on all areas of the face, even if some, such as the eyelids, are more concerned with rejuvenation than remodeling. Depending on your situation and expectations, the doctor will work with you to define the protocol that best suits you.

Like all medical procedures, facial reshaping involves risks that it’s important to be aware of. Depending on the technique you use, the inconveniences and dangers are not the same, and only a doctor can best inform you of what to expect after any procedure, surgical or otherwise.

Surgery requires general anesthesia 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.

That’s 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 personalized 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. That’s why it’s so important to follow up with your doctor. Even if it’s not necessary to plan post-surgery sessions, anticipating such risks is key to treating them effectively.

The best treatment is the one that’s right for you – there’s no one-size-fits-all reference. That’s why there are so many options for facial contouring. Based on your expectations and medical history, the doctor will help you define the best protocol for you.
