Soft tissue augmentation and jaw line contouring typically refer to augmenting (enlarging) areas of the face. However, the hands and body include other common enlargement areas. If you’re looking for simple improvements, soft tissue augmentation and jaw line contouring help. These happen in two ways: through surgery or needle injections.
The commonly enlarged areas include cheek bones, naso-jugal grooves, sub brow area, chin, lips, and the jaw line. Jaw line contouring achieves this. Additionally, wrinkle improvements occur with augmentation. In fact, augmentation may remove wrinkles entirely.
In order to achieve a more youthful look one, consider what caused an aged look in the first place. For some, aging means thinning skin, loss of fat, and drooping of soft tissue.
Overall, this causes a loss of volume and subsequent wrinkling of the skin. Rejuvenation of the face can include surgical and non-surgical means. Surgical methods include facelifts or implants, especially for the chin or cheeks. Non-surgical methods include needle injections of specific products. For the most impressive results a combination of products may be used. Over the last five years, new product introductions made augmentation and contouring easier than ever. Dr. Martin tends to use these products.
