Facial Contouring in North London for Natural Definition

Facial contouring lets you shape your facial structure without surgery. You are a good candidate if you want more definition in your cheekbones for a sculpted look, or a stronger jawline and chin. It also softens wrinkles and restores fullness in areas that have lost volume, especially the mid face. People in North London choose this treatment to improve facial symmetry and reach a refreshed, balanced look that still feels like you.

Your treatment begins with a thorough 45 minute consultation at our Finchley clinic. We will discuss your goals and use digital imaging to plan the result. At the treatment visit, which lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, a topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. The procedure involves precise injections to add volume or definition. There is little downtime, and you will see initial results right away. We schedule a follow up two weeks later to review the outcome and make any minor adjustments if needed.

Right after the procedure you may have mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection sites. This usually fades within 24 to 48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to let the treatment settle. Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least six hours. Long term results can last from nine to eighteen months depending on the treated area and your metabolism. A good skincare routine helps maintain the result. Red flags during office hours (Mon Wed Fri 9 to 5, Tue Thu 11 to 7): Contact us if you experience excessive bruising, significant pain that does not improve, or signs of infection like heat or pus. For emergencies outside these hours, call 111 or visit your nearest A&E.

If your concerns relate to the structure of your bite or jaw alignment affecting your profile, orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign could be a longer term option. Straightening teeth and correcting bite issues can have a positive impact on the lower facial profile. Invisalign Full treatment costs £4,400 at our practice.

Sometimes the look of your smile affects facial balance. If your main concern is the shape, size, or length of your teeth, cosmetic bonding or veneers can create the illusion of more volume and better facial proportions. This is less invasive than contouring and focuses on your smile.

To choose what is right for you, ask the right questions whether at our practice or another clinic in North London. Ask about their experience with this treatment and request before and after photos of previous patients. Ask what products they use and why they have chosen them. Get a clear breakdown of the total cost, including the initial treatment and any follow-up appointments. Finally, ask about how long the results last and what the plan is for maintenance treatments.

Facial contouring is a private cosmetic procedure and is not covered by dental insurance like Max Bupa, Denplan, or Cigna. The cost depends on the areas treated and the amount of product required to reach your goals. Prices are set after a full consultation where we design a personalised plan. We provide a transparent quote with no hidden fees before treatment begins so you know what to expect. For example, a patient from Muswell Hill who wanted to enhance her cheekbones had a plan costing around £750.
