Asian Facial Contouring Procedures

Asian facial contouring procedures are tailored to meet Asian beauty standards, which value a youthful appearance, a slim face, a slim jawline, a pointy chin, high cheekbones, a delicate nose with a high bridge, round and bright eyes, and smooth and light skin. There are surgical and non-surgical options available for Asian facial contouring.

  1. BOTOX® Injection for Jaw Reduction: This non-surgical procedure involves injecting botulinum toxin (BOTOX) into the masseter muscle to shrink it, resulting in a slimmer jawline. The procedure is simple, safe, and quick, with temporary results lasting between 3 to 6 months.

  2. Chin Augmentation: Surgical options like V-Line surgery, genioplasty surgery, and chin implant surgery can provide permanent results for narrowing and enhancing the chin. These procedures are tailored to the patient's specific needs and can help achieve a more balanced facial appearance.

  3. Cheek Contouring: Injectable fillers like Juvederm®, Voluma®, and Radiesse® can be used to contour the cheeks for fuller and higher cheekbones. For patients with overly wide cheekbones, cheek reduction surgery (zygoma reduction) can narrow them for a slimmer look. This surgical procedure is typically done under general anesthesia.

  4. Nose Enhancement: Asian rhinoplasty surgery or non-surgical options like injectable fillers can enhance the nose. Surgical options can address issues such as a low or flat bridge, bulbous tip, or asymmetry. Non-surgical options provide temporary results with minimal downtime.

Recovery

The recovery period will vary depending on the specific procedure performed. Non-surgical treatments typically have minimal downtime, with temporary swelling and bruising being the most common side effects. Surgical procedures may require a medium-length recovery period, during which you may experience swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness. Dr. Fan will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitor your progress to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Recovery times and specific instructions will vary depending on the procedure performed. Generally, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated areas. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions for proper healing and to minimize any potential risks or complications.

5. How do I choose a surgeon for Asian facial contouring?

Choosing a highly experienced surgeon who specializes in Asian cosmetic surgery is crucial. Look for a surgeon with extensive education, training, experience, and a track record of successful outcomes. It's also important to feel comfortable and have open communication with your surgeon.

6. Should I choose to undergo my treatments in the United States or overseas in Asia?

It is generally recommended to undergo Asian facial contouring treatments in the United States due to the rigorous standards of care, education, safety, and products available. In Asia, standards of care for cosmetic surgery may be less strict, and there is a higher risk of encountering poorly qualified practitioners and counterfeit products. It's essential to research and choose a reputable and qualified surgeon, regardless of the location.
