WHAT CAN FACIAL SLIMMING DO FOR ME? An oval jawline is considered to be feminine and beautiful in many cultures. Over activity of the chewing muscles (masseters) can enlarge the jawline giving a more square and musculine profile. Patients often mistaken the overlarge chewing muscles for excessive fat or a saggy jawline. Cosmetic injections can relax and shrink these muscles. The result is a slimmer, sharper and more pleasing jawline. To give the best and safest possible results all cosmetic procedures at Kiora are performed by one of principle Cosmetic Doctors, Dr Grace Lin or Dr Neville Lee See. They have been with Kiora continuously since 2005 to give a safer and more consistent outcome.

HOW DOES FACIAL SLIMMING WORK? By selectively targeting the masseter facial muscles (the cheek muscles) Kiora's doctors can cause long term relaxation of the chewing muscles. Over a period of 9-12 months the muscles gradually recede in size resulting in a more pleasing oval shape to the face. Some bone remodelling occurs over time meaning the effect can last for 2-5 years. The technique is particularly popular in Asia. Dr Neville Lee See has a special interest in this technique and received specific training in Asia. He uses the same injection protocol as the Korean and Taiwanese plastic surgeons who first pioneered the facial slimming technique.

ADVANCED COSMETIC INJECTION TECHNIQUES Non-invasive cosmetic techniques can be used as an effective alternative to cosmetic surgery. The calfs can be slimmed to give a more streamlined look, severe sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be reduced by 90%, and the nose, chin and cheeks may all be reshaped with dermal fillers to give a more balanced and proportional look to the face. The longevity of these techniques is excellent and often exceeds 12 months. It is the belief of our Doctors the aesthetic outcome can be superior to traditional surgery.

IS FACIAL SLIMMING SAFE? The procedure is inherently safe. There is no downtime. Even mild bruising is very uncommon in this area. The injections used to relax the overactive chewing muscles are the same ones used to treat wrinkles and medical conditions for almost 30 years. Patients sometime complain of mild fatigue when chewing large meals due to the weakness of their masseter muscles.

TEETH GRINDERS (BRUXISM) Cosmetic injections can greatly help nocturnal teeth grinders. The cosmetic injections are precisely placed directly into the muscles responsible for the nocturnal grinding forcing them to relax. This advanced technique often provides an effective supplement to traditional dental techniques used to protect the enamol of nocturnal teeth grinders.

CALF REMODELLING Advanced cosmetic injections can be used to remodel the calves to present a slimmer and sleeker profile. The medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf is targeted. The injections are used to relax the calf muscles. Over a 2-3 month period the calf muscles gradually recede in size presenting a sleeker more aesthetically pleasing profile. This technique is very popular in Asia.
