Define & Contour the Jaw Line with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Time takes its toll on our face as we get older, and as it goes through so much, it's understandable that sometimes it might need a bit of TLC. As well as changes to the texture of the skin, such as dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, the face also changes shape as we age. Loss of fat in the upper face, plus the effects of gravity can cause the skin to droop downwards, and this can lead to jowls, causing a loss of definition in the jaw line.

The jaw is what separates our face from our neck, but over time we lose definition in the jaw line which blurs the distinction between the two areas. Dermal fillers are able to correct and get back a beautifully defined jaw. A square jaw can look good on some men, who see it as the typically masculine face shape, but jaw line contouring is also ideal for women who have a square shape to the jaw, and want to get a softer, more feminine look.

Over time, the jaw line begins to sag as we lose volume from the face, which causes it to droop and fall forward. The sag can become quite significant, causing a previously straight jaw to change into a wavy one.

Dermal fillers can correct a sagging jaw and help to recover the straight jaw line of our youth. Dermal fillers can easily be injected into the jowl area to disguise the jowls by blending them into the adjacent areas, hiding the jowls and giving the jaw a straighter line.

Dermal filler is a highly successful treatment which gets impressive results. Fillers get injected along the jaw line using a tiny cannula or a small fine needle into the jowl area and this makes the jaw line look straighter. As a result, the male jaw line becomes wider and straighter and more masculine and has a more defined angle at the base of the jaw, while the female jaw line still has a more feminine gentle curve and softness to the contour of the jaw.

A jaw enhancement will benefit:

• Those with a weak jaw line
• Men who want a more chiselled jaw
• Those who can see signs of ageing in the jaw line
• Those who want a softer jaw line

Enhancing and contouring the jaw using dermal filler injections can effectively alter the outline of the jaw area  This treatment is popular, due to its instant results, natural feel and the easy ability of the injections and the little to no downtime.

Vaser Lipo to Contour The Body Shape - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all have a different idea of what the perfect body is, and we're heavily influenced by the expectations of society and media pressure. Our society tries to dictate what kind of body image we should strive for, showing images of perfect bodies on television, in films and in newspaper and magazines.

From an early age we have an unrealistic sense of what we suppose the perfect body should look like, when as children, we are given toys like Barbie and Action Man dolls. This carries on into the teenage years, when most people on television, films and music videos for their age groups, have perfect faces and bodies.

The body shape that's currently classed as 'the body to strive for', hasn't always been the considered ideal body shape. The idea of the ideal body shape has changed over the years :

• In the 1900's, the fashion was for women to have a large bust and a wasp-waist, achieved with tightly laced corsets.
• The 1920's saw boyish figures emerge, with small breasts and non-existent curves becoming fashionable.
• With the outbreak of war in 1939, with rationing and less around to eat, although people were lean, a healthy well-fed body shape became the ideal.
• By the 1950's, the wasp-waist look had returned and a tiny waist and exaggerated hips, became the fashion.
• The mid 1960's saw the world introduced to the waif. The women of this era copied the tiny waist, non-existent bust and skinny silhouette.
• A long and lean body shape was the ideal look for the 1970's, with it changing to a more athletic look in the 80's.
• The 1990's decade saw the return of the waif, straight up and down and no bust.
• The long and lean shape returned in the new century, with more of a focus on bigger breasts.
• Today, we are back with the curvaceous shape with a shapely bottom, substantial bust and a flat toned tummy.

Whatever the current body shape trend, it's impossible for us to all look the same. We are all different builds and we all have our own body shape:

Hourglass – This shape has a well-proportioned upper and lower body, with a narrow waist. Hourglass women are more inclined to gain weight all over the body and in particular the chest and hips area.
Pear – these have small upper bodies and bigger lower bodies. The hips are a bit wider than the shoulders and weight tends to settle below the waist.
Apple – Women with apple shapes have slim hips, a large chest and stomach and they are bigger on the top half of their bodies than the lower half.
Straight/ Ruler – Ruler shaped women have no significant differences between the size of their hips, waist and shoulders. Any weight gain is on their stomach and bottom.

Even though we keep the fundamental shape we were born with, a healthy diet and regular exercise are still the keys to losing excess body fat and maintaining good health. If any fat remains after this, there is vaser lipo, which will take away stubborn pockets of fat that just won't shift.

You may not have the shape you wish for, but vaser lipo could help you shape your body into a shape you will love.

Dermal Fillers For a Non-Surgical Nose Job - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Is there really such a thing as a perfect nose? It would seem that a lot of us aren't 100% satisfied with the size or the shape of our nose. The focal points of the face are the eyes, mouth and nose and for many people who are unhappy with the shape of their nose, this can undermine their confidence.

Until recently, the only solution for reshaping the nose was a surgical rhinoplasty, which is a painful procedure, requiring an overnight stay in the hospital and time off work for recovery. A surgical nose job is still the main solution for significant corrections on the size and shape of the nose, but with most issues for those with moderate nose reshaping or recontouring, a non-surgical nose job procedure is an ideal solution.

If you are unhappy about the shape of your nose, treatment using a non-surgical dermal filler is a great option, using it in various ways to correct the problem. Whether it's used to straighten a curved or hook shape, plump out areas or depressions caused by an accident or maybe inserting filler into the nose tip for an upturned appearance, dermal fillers can solve these problems, and more:

Straighten a slightly crooked nose.
Build up a small nose.
Straighten noses that are hook shaped.
Correct a mild to moderate bump or depression on the bridge of the nose.
A moderate drooping of nasal tip.
Refinement after surgical Rhinoplasty.
Noses that would like more height, definition and a nose tip.
Smooth contours of the nose.

At a free consultation at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Bassi will discuss your needs and expectations and will examine your nasal profile, making sure that the treated nose will be in proportion to the width and height of your face. During the procedure topical anaesthesia is applied to the nasal surface, which will numb the area, and the dermal filler is then injected into precise areas of the nose. It's a painless procedure lasting about ten minutes and there might be minimal swelling or redness afterwards, which will subside after a few days.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty and the results are instantly visible. If you have always wanted to give your nose a different look but would not dream of having normal surgery …than this procedure is for you.  A well-done rhinoplasty can subtly enhance your features and restore facial harmony, resulting in a very pleasing, natural appearance.
