At PASCAL, facial contouring is not about creating a generic beauty standard—it’s about customizing natural harmony to your individual features.

Liquid Facial Contouring (Non-Surgical Options)

Not every patient requires surgery to achieve a slimmer, younger, and more defined face. At PASCAL, KCCS in Gangnam, we also offer liquid facial contouring, a minimally invasive alternative for those who want noticeable improvement without downtime. Using advanced injectable and thread technologies, our surgeons can sculpt and rejuvenate the face with precision and artistry.

Options for Liquid Facial Contouring

1. Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium Hydroxylapatite)

• What It Does: Fillers restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, or chin, while refining facial symmetry. They can also soften deep folds and reshape subtle contours.
• Indications: Sunken cheeks, recessed chin, hollow temples, mild asymmetry.
• Duration: Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on the filler type.

---

2. Botox / Neurotoxin Injections for Jaw Slimming

• What It Does: By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox can reduce jaw width, giving a softer, V-shaped appearance.
• Indications: Wide jawline due to strong chewing muscles, desire for a slimmer face without bone surgery.
• Duration: Results last 4–6 months, with repeat treatments maintaining the effect.

---

3. Thread Lifts (PDO, PLLA, PCL threads)

• What It Does: Bio-absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to lift sagging tissues, stimulate collagen, and redefine jawline or cheek contours.
• Indications: Early jowling, mild sagging cheeks, patients seeking a “mini-lift” without surgery.
• Duration: Lifting effects last 12–18 months, with collagen stimulation prolonging results [5-7].

Who Should Consider Liquid Facial Contouring?

You may be an ideal candidate for liquid contouring if you:

• Prefer a non-surgical option with minimal downtime.
• Want to “test-drive” facial changes before committing to surgery.
• Have mild to moderate sagging, volume loss, or jaw prominence.
• Cannot take time off for surgical recovery.
• Want natural-looking, subtle refinement rather than dramatic changes.

Combining Surgical and Non-Surgical Options

Many international patients choose to combine surgical facial contouring (such as jaw reduction or genioplasty) with liquid techniques for the most refined results. For example, a V-line jaw surgery may be enhanced with filler to the chin, or a facelift may be complemented by Botox to relax remaining dynamic wrinkles. At PASCAL, our professors create personalized hybrid plans to maximize natural harmony and longevity [5-7].
