Face Line Injection
Face Contour Injections
Injections that target fat on the lower cheeks and under the chin to help refine facial contours.
Addressing small pockets of fat on the face
Face contour injections target localized fat on the face, such as on the lower cheeks and under the chin. They work on a different layer than muscle injections.
Because the face has little fat, even a small reduction can make it look hollow, so we decide the amount and area carefully.
