When we talk about contouring, many of us restrict our thinking to the makeup techniques that can shape the face. In fact, streaming and highlighting can be used to shape your entire body. Contouring can be used to achieve a number of looks; it can make you look skinnier, curvier, more defined (for example, through fat freezing) or divert attention from any area you desire. Contouring is often used among many celebrities to create sharp, stand-out looks that get them noticed.
Here’s a look at some of the treatments that we can offer to help you create the perfect full-time contoured face and body without resorting to makeup.
Lip Fillers
Kylie Jenner is the perfect example of a celebrity with a permanent, contoured look. Instead of rigorously applying a full face of makeup every day, Kylie constantly achieves a contoured face through cosmetic lip enhancement. This is why you will often find her bare-faced on many of her social media stories, yet still looking defined.
Kylie recently replaced the ‘cartoonish’ type of lip fillers that she is famous for with a much softer and natural look. This allows her to wake up with a beautiful lip outline without having to apply lip liners or lip sticks, which can be very time-consuming for those of us with busy schedules.
We offer lip fillers in Belfast, Guernsey and Jersey, and are confidently able to recreate any celebrity look you desire with our wide range of light hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which work to hydrate and revitalise the lip area as well as contour and define.
Aqualyx Fat Removal or Fat Freezing
Previously, fat removal treatments were exclusively surgical. But we offer these treatments, such as Aqualyx fat removal or fat freezing, as non-surgical alternatives that will break down that unwelcome fat from your problem areas, leaving you with a contoured figure you can be proud to show off.
Celebrities are famous for removing unwanted fat through these types of treatments so that they are always looking camera-ready.
Chrissy Teigen has openly talked about how her armpit fat removal treatment left her feeling happier and more confident in herself.
The procedures we offer are some of the best non-surgical options available to quickly create body contour that won’t wash off when you shower.
Chin Sculpting
This non-surgical procedure will bring contour and structure to your face and jawline. Depending on your desired look, chin sculpting can provide your face with a strong and chiselled profile, or it can subtly alter the balance of your face and remove the predominance of a nose or neck.
Through Vaser, we can offer a shorter treatment with less downtime when compared to surgical options like chin augmentation or chin liposuction. This ultrasound technology disturbs the subcutaneous fat and only requires local anaesthetic and IV sedation. The result is a sculpted chin with tightened skin.
Many celebrities inspire our clients’ chin sculpting procedures. The likes of Angelina Jolie, Christina Hendricks and Sienna Miller all have striking chins and jawlines to thank for their perfect profiles.
Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)
Nose reshaping (or rhinoplasty) can be done surgically or non-surgically, depending on what the desired outcome is.
Rhinoplasty is one of our most popular cosmetic surgical procedures. Performed under general anaesthetic, it involves making small cuts from inside the nostrils to remove bone and cartilage and re-shape the nose.
The non-surgical rhinoplasty is a brilliant alternative to the surgical procedure, especially as it comes with little downtime after the procedure. It works by injecting fillers to create a more refined appearance, perfect for smoothing out a line in a bumpy nose.
Iggy Azalea is one celebrity who hasn’t been shy in admitting she has had some work done. She openly thanked her cosmetic surgeon for her new nose on her Instagram.
Breast Augmentation and Breast Uplift
These surgeries tend to be the most popular amongst celebrities, with Cardi B, Kourtney Kardashian, Kayley Cuoco and Naya Rivera (to name a few) having all admitted to having undergone breast augmentation procedures.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure which can create contour through altering the shape and size of the breast. A mastopexy, or breast uplift, helps to reshape and raise the breasts without altering volume, and can be used in conjunction with breast augmentation.
Lipocel Body Contouring
This is a popular treatment that can help you to get rid of stubborn fat and look like your favourite flat-tummy celebrity, such as Kourtney Kardashian or Megan Fox.
This non-surgical procedure is extremely effective for the breakdown of fat cells through the delivery of heat energy and is perfect for the belly, flanks, underarms, back thighs and knees.
Usually performed in approximately 30 minutes, Lipocel targets the subcutaneous layer of fat, raising the temperature of the fat cells to more than 70oC. Besides treating diet-resistant areas of the body, Lipocel will also cause skin tightening, giving you a smoother look.
Cristal Cryolipolysis
Also called fat freezing, this treatment uses a very low temperature to get rid of unwanted pockets of fat without damaging the surrounding tissue. This procedure is suitable for stubborn areas like the abdomen and flanks, and most patients see great results after just one session; another reason why fat freezing is so popular is because the fat cells that are frozen simply die and are eliminated from the body, ensuring a permanent result.
Several celebrities swear by fat freezing treatments, such as Molly Sims and Kris Jenner, but Khloé Kardashian may very well be the most well-known person. She slimmed down through diet and exercise and then opted for a fat freezing treatment to help achieve her current look.
8-Point Facelift
When celebrities say that they’ve never gone under the knife, they’re probably telling the truth. Long gone are the days where facelifts were strictly surgical; there are now countless procedures to smooth, tighten or reduce fat without ever having to opt for cosmetic surgery.
The 8-point facelift is one such treatment. It uses the most innovative facial filler techniques to provide advanced anti-ageing results designed to offer lost volume and facial structure. This treatment is often referred to as the ‘non-surgical’ or ‘liquid’ facelift. Eight strategic injection points are used to treat key problem areas and offer impressive results, from lifted cheekbones to restoring volume to areas of the face affected by the pull of gravity – and age.
Considering there is no need for downtime and results are natural-looking and subtle, it’s not surprising that many celebrities opt for this procedure – or other similar facelifts, such as Thermage (chosen by figures like Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow).
Cheek Augmentation
While this may not be the first area that comes to mind when addressing ageing concerns, the truth is that the cheeks are a key area of the face. Our non-surgical cheek augmentation treatment helps to diminish the loss of volume in the mid face and cheek areas; this sagging occurs because the fat pads and tissues that lie under the skin shift downwards as we age, pulling the face down and creating hollows in the upper face.
We use the highest quality dermal fillers (such as Sculptra or Juvéderm Voluma) to restore lost volume and ‘scaffolding’ under the skin. Results are immediate, but you can expect them to continue improving for weeks after the treatment. Many of our patients who are seeking a cheek augmentation procedure are often inspired by celebrities with fantastic cheeks and cheekbones, such as Scarlett Johansson and Halle Berry.
If you are inspired by any celebrity looks, like the ever-popular lip enhancement fillers, please get in touch with our experienced and professional team. We offer these treatments in all of our clinics in Jersey, Belfast and Guernsey and will be happy to provide you with all the information you need to create the perfect contoured look.
