Facial Contouring
in Dubai
A considered look at your facial proportions. Facial contouring is about the balance and shape of the face, particularly the jawline, chin and cheeks. Some non-surgical treatments use injectable gels to add support or definition in these areas. Dr Fouzia is a consultant family physician who offers a doctor-led facial contouring consultation in Dubai. She looks at your face as a whole, explains what could and could not be achieved, the risks and the alternatives, and helps you decide whether treatment is right for you.
Areas that may be discussed.
How it works.
Non-surgical contouring usually involves placing a dermal filler, often hyaluronic acid, at selected points to add volume or structure. The effect is temporary, and it fades as the body absorbs the product. It does not change bone and is not a substitute for surgery.
A careful order at every step.
Nothing is done until you have been fully informed and have given written consent.
A consultation covering goals, medical history, medicines, allergies and previous treatments
A face assessment and a discussion of options, risks, costs and realistic outcomes
Written consent before treatment
Treatment in the clinic, with numbing cream or local anaesthetic where used
Aftercare advice and a review where agreed
What to be aware of.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, lumps and asymmetry are common and usually settle. Less commonly, infection, allergic reaction or a blocked blood vessel can occur. A blocked vessel is rare but serious and needs urgent treatment. Your doctor will explain these risks before you consent.
When contouring may not be suitable.
Treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection or active skin condition at the site, certain autoimmune or bleeding conditions, a history of severe allergy, or while taking some medicines. Share your health history and concerns at consultation so your doctor can discuss what is appropriate.
Your safety comes first.
Seek urgent care immediately for severe pain, a white, blue or mottled patch of skin, sudden vision change, difficulty breathing or facial swelling after treatment. In the UAE, call 998 for an ambulance Contact the clinic first for any concern.
