Facial Contouring with Dermal Fillers — A Complete Guide

Last updated: 5 March 2026

Dermal filler facial contouring has revolutionised aesthetic medicine, offering the ability to sculpt, define, and harmonise facial features without surgical intervention. At Axiom Aesthetics, our practitioners are skilled in the art and science of facial balancing.

The Principles of Facial Contouring

Effective facial contouring goes beyond simply filling wrinkles. It considers the face as a three-dimensional structure, addressing volume loss, structural support, and proportional balance. We follow the MD Codes system and golden ratio principles for predictable, harmonious results.

Key Treatment Areas

Cheeks

Restoring cheek volume lifts the mid-face, reduces nasolabial folds, and creates a more youthful facial shape. Strategic placement at different cheek planes (malar, submalar, anteromedial) achieves different aesthetic goals.

Jawline

Defining the jawline creates structure, reduces jowling, and improves the transition from face to neck.

Chin

Chin augmentation improves profile balance and can reduce the appearance of a “double chin” by creating forward projection.

Temples

Often overlooked, temple hollowing is one of the earliest signs of facial ageing. Restoring temporal volume has a remarkable rejuvenating effect.

Tear Troughs

Carefully placed filler beneath the eyes reduces dark circles and hollowing for a refreshed, rested appearance.

The Consultation Process

Every facial contouring treatment at Axiom Aesthetics begins with a comprehensive assessment including facial analysis, photography, and an in-depth discussion of your goals. We plan treatments across multiple appointments for controlled, natural-looking enhancement.
