And now on to Stage 3 of Facial Sculpting: Dermal Fillers! If you read my previous post, “The 4 Stages of Facial Sculpting,” you know my approach to sculpting; I do it in stages, instead of jumping right in and going to town on your face. These stages can take anywhere from 6-12 months!

Hands down, this is one of my favorite treatments because it works wonders for slimming the face WITHOUT surgery or liposuction. It used to be that the only way to eliminate fat pockets under the chin or in the jowls was through liposuction, which requires a lot of downtime and expense. Kybella™ has changed that for good AND is FDA-approved for the treatment of double chins in adults.

What does it mean to be aesthetically pleasing as a woman? Is it symmetry? Full lips and high cheek bones? And, who gets to decide whether or not you are aesthetically pleasing? Men? You? Is it anti-feminist to invest in your appearance? These are all questions that I’ve encountered during my career in aesthetics and time spent in arts education.

Did you know that Facial Sculpting can and sometimes should be done in stages? I actually recommend that some patients receive facial sculpting in 4 separate stages. I wanted my first blog to be a bit of an introduction to my methods and preferred sculpting techniques.
