Nose and Chin Shaping

Leonie is our much loved receptionist who had an accident in the playground aged 13, and as a result ended up with a dip in her nose. She has disliked her nose ever since so when Libbie started working with us and spoke of her like of nose contouring using dermal fillers, Leonie decided that this was going to be the treatment for her.

She had a consult with Libbie and after looking at her profile, Libbie felt she could also improve Leonie’s chin at the same time. We totally underestimate our chins and how they can affect how we look. A receding chin can be built up often giving similar results to plastic surgery. Nose contouring is the same especially is there is only a dip but filler can also be used to widen the nose, thin the nose and lift the tip. It is a very specialised treatment and should only been done by skilled practitioners as there is a number of blood vessels in the nose.

Leonie’s treatment took only 15 minutes and she was back to her desk straight away. The results are amazing and Leonie is thrilled.

The treatment results last about 18 months-2 years and sometimes longer.

“I have always felt self-conscious about my nose, never liked pictures from the  side and always felt in certain lights the bump would cast a shadow towards the end of my nose.

I thought the only option to correct this would be to have nose surgery- shaving the bump down to make it straight. When I became aware I could achieve this without the need for surgery (and for a lot less money) I was very keen to go ahead.

The procedure didn’t take very long at all, and as we had numbed the area first I only felt a slight sting from the needle when Libbie was injecting my nose.

When Libbie talked about augmenting my chin, it wasn’t something I had ever thought about but I was so pleased when I saw the results. I understand how it all fits in with the nose, lips to chin ratio and my chin was in fact wider, so by injecting my chin and bringing it out it has made it look thinner and more in proportion. Like my nose my chin was numbed beforehand so I only felt a slight sting and a pulling down pressure sensation when the filler was injected, but again not painful.

Results can be seen instantly and I cannot tell you how pleased I was (plus there are no unsightly bandages, black eyes like you would get from surgery).

Straightening my nose and lifting my chin has made such a difference to my profile and I am much more confident. It is amazing, lots of friends have been interested as they didn’t realise filler could help with a few even booking in for consults.

The way Libbie looked at this and carried out the procedure, you can see the artistic nature and skill  it takes to perform a treatment like this. I would recommend anyone who has an uneven nose to consider this option before even thinking about surgery!“
