Hyaluronic acid is an active ingredient that is full of benefits. Naturally present in our body, it helps to correct defects in our face or body and deeply moisturizes. This molecule is used in the process of many aesthetic medicine techniques. One of them: medical profiloplasty.
What is a medical profiloplasty?
Profiloplasty makes it possible to harmonize the profile of the face thanks to the combination of several techniques of medicine or cosmetic surgery. Medical profiloplasty, on the other hand, consists of modifying the profile, without surgery. The process of this non-invasive method consists of a set of hyaluronic acid injections. Generally speaking, these injections are used to correct the nose (medical rhinoplasty) and chin (medical genioplasty). The lips and forehead can also be treated – these are important areas for a beautiful profile.
The method of medical profiloplasty therefore consists of correcting different points of the face, in order to reshape the shapes in the most natural way possible. It is thanks to MD Codes that experts can correct a profile, in a homogeneous and personalized way. Indeed, a very precise map includes 75 injection sites on the face. MD Codes combine numbers (injection sequences) and letters (anatomical areas) to define these different areas. It is thanks to these codes that the aesthetic doctor will be able to define a personalized injection plan.
What are the indications for profiloplasty without surgery?
Medical profiloplasty is used to treat the effects of ageing, which result in sagging skin. It also makes it possible to correct imperfections, naturally present on a patient’s face.
Different areas can be treated with medical profiloplasty – they are spread over three levels (upper, middle, and lower):
- Reducing horizontal wrinkles and reshaping the forehead to rejuvenate the upper part of the face;
- Correct any deformities of the nose, such as a bump or a drooping tip of the nose;
- Correct the loss of volume of the cheekbones;
- Redefine the contour of the lips or increase their volume;
- Redefine the oval of the face with the correction of a receding chin.
How is a medical profiloplasty performed?
Since the profile of your face is an important aspect of your appearance, it is very important to take the time to communicate with your practitioner during an initial consultation appointment.
It is thanks to this appointment that your needs and expectations can be defined. The expert doctor will then analyze your face in detail in order to define a unique and personalized hyaluronic acid injection plan.
The injections are then carried out according to the chosen areas. The duration of the procedure depends on the number of injections to be performed as well as the complexity of the details to be corrected.
Is medical profiloplasty painful?
Medical profiloplasty is a non-invasive and painless method of aesthetic medicine. Hyaluronic acid injections also contain an anesthetic.
What are the results of a medical profiloplasty?
The results of a medical profiloplasty are visible immediately after the session. Your profile is more harmonious, natural and adapted to your expectations.
Some bruising or edema may appear during the first few days. These are normal and harmless side effects. Social eviction is not necessary.
The number of maintenance sessions depends on your personalized injection plan and should be defined with your doctor. This is because the duration of the effects of your medical profiloplasty will depend on the injection sites as well as your skin.
