FACIAL SCULPTING
Summary
Your dream facial contour can be within reach with Dr Sultan’s bespoke treatment plans designed to sculpt the face using a combination of fillers and collagen stimulators.
Cheek fillers can bring the face into balance by making the cheekbones more prominent. This can give you instant, razor-sharp definition and a natural-looking, youthful appearance. The treatment also smooths the nose-to-mouth lines, effectively lifting the entire face. Temporary fillers are injected under the skin above the cheekbones. Chin sculpting with dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure and is an excellent and affordable option for patients that want to correct a weak chin, a small chin, or irregularities in the chin without having to go under the knife. The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve projection, volume, or definition in the chin. This can also change the contour of the face by balancing facial features. Upon consultation only.

Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid, in gel-like consistency, used as a cosmetic treatment to treat wrinkles and add volume to the face (cheeks, chin, jaw, temples, nasolabial folds and lips) to help enhance and contour. There are several different types of fillers, which your practitioner can talk to you about to choose the one most suitable for you.

Prior to arrival
A week before treatment stop all use of irritant topical products (Acids, Retinol, Vitamin C or scrubs)
If you are taking blood thinners, including NSAIDs such as Asprin or Ibuprofen, you should discuss with your doctor whether it is possible to discontinue their use throughout the course of your treatment.
On arrival
Dr Sultan will undertake an initial consultation to understand any of your concerns and to review your medical history, after which the treatment area will be photographed. He will advise you of your facial dynamics and the results that Botox® would likely achieve.
Once a treatment plan is agreed, he will administer the Botox®, after which there will be a number of small red bumps at the injection sites. These bumps usually settle down within hours and within 24 hours, should not be visible.
Results
The effects of the treatment commence within 3-5 days and it is normal for it to take between 10-12 days for the full effect of the treatment to become visible.
We will arrange for a follow up video consultation 12-14 days following the treatment and, if required, we may suggest a complimentary top-up at this point.
Within 3-4 months of the treatment, we would expect the effects to be wearing off and recommend booking a return visit.
