Facial Molding

Facial molding is a medical technique used to reshape and remodel the structure of the face in order to achieve a more attractive appearance. It is a fairly new and rapidly developing technique used in cosmetic and plastic surgery. For the purpose of facial molding, various techniques are employed, depending upon the desired outcome. These include dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and even fat transfer techniques. Dermal fillers help to restore or reshape facial features by injecting substances directly into the skin. This can help to reduce wrinkles and fill out hollow areas of the face. Laser skin resurfacing helps to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the skin which act to improve its texture and elasticity. Fat transfer techniques involve removing unwanted fat from other parts of the body and injecting it into desired facial regions in order to add volume and improve symmetry. The facial molding procedure is often performed in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments such as brow lifts, chin augmentations, nose reshaping, and face lifts. This helps to ensure that the desired results are achieved with minimal scarring. The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and minimal sedation. Facial molding has become increasingly popular with many seeking to restore their youthful appearance. With proper planning and the right technique, facial molding can help to provide natural looking results that can last for several years. It is important for patients considering this technique to seek the guidance of a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon in order to ensure that they receive satisfactory results.
