Contour Injections

Who it's for

• Double chin, fat under the jaw
• Dull contours due to localized fat in the cheeks or deep cheek area
• Results: contour refinement and reduced puffiness — we explain that this is not a weight-loss treatment

Before treatment

• Check for pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Check for any history of drug allergies
• Check the treatment area for infection or inflammation
• Explain in advance that multiple sessions are needed (setting realistic expectations)

After treatment

• Swelling may get a bit worse for 3–4 days before it settles and results show. Avoid exercise, massage, alcohol and smoking
• Avoid saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise on the day of treatment
• Let patients know bruising and swelling improve within a few days

Good to know

• Bruising, swelling, pain, redness at the injection site
• Temporary lumpiness or small nodules
• Rarely, dents from excessive fat reduction, or pigmentation
• Temporary burning sensation, depending on the ingredients

Pairs well with

Combined with square-jaw Botox: targets muscle and fat at the same time (general guidance)
