Facial laxity refers to the gradual softening or sagging of the skin and underlying structures, often due to reduced collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous support. This can cause the face to lose its youthful lift, definition, and symmetry.
During consultation, Dr Scott Allison will assess your individual areas of concern, such as the cheeks, jawline, or under-eye area, and discuss evidence-based, non-surgical options that may assist in restoring structure and contour.
Some of these options may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices, which are discussed privately during consultation and not advertised publicly.
Areas Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Cheeks and Mid-Face Volume
The cheeks are central to facial structure and balance. Over time, reduced tissue support can flatten or hollow the mid-face. Dr Allison may recommend non-surgical options that help enhance projection and restore balance.
Jawline and Chin Definition
Changes in skin elasticity and bone structure can soften the jawline, reducing definition. Non-surgical contouring procedures may help refine this area and improve the appearance of facial symmetry.
Temples and Upper-Face Balance
Hollowing in the temples can change facial proportions and highlight other areas of volume loss. Non-surgical approaches can be planned to support facial balance.
Lips and Perioral Area
Loss of lip definition and fine perioral lines are common concerns. During consultation, Dr Allison will discuss conservative approaches to enhance shape and hydration while preserving natural movement.
Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)
As volume decreases in the mid-face, deeper folds may form between the nose and mouth. Treatments can be planned to gently support and smooth these areas while maintaining natural movement and expression.
Tear Troughs and Under-Eye Hollows
The delicate skin under the eyes can thin over time, contributing to a tired appearance. Dr Allison can assess whether non-surgical options aimed at improving skin texture and volume distribution in this region may be appropriate.
What Can Be Achieved
Support Facial Structure and Contour
Non-surgical procedures can help support the skin’s structure and restore natural volume in areas such as the cheeks, chin, and jawline.
Improve Facial Proportion and Symmetry
Medically guided treatments are designed to improve symmetry and create proportional enhancement based on each patient’s unique anatomy.
Support Skin Hydration and Texture
Some procedures support hydration and improve texture by reinforcing the skin’s underlying framework.
Enhance Facial Contours and Tone
Through targeted treatment planning, it is possible to address areas affected by reduced elasticity and give the face a refreshed, lifted appearance.
Non-surgical procedures are performed in a clinical setting. Recovery experience varies between individuals and is discussed at consultation. Treatments are tailored to individual anatomy and medical suitability.
Each approach is individually planned by Dr Allison based on your facial anatomy and areas of concern. Procedures are temporary and can be reviewed over time as individual circumstances change.
During consultation, Dr Allison will outline the potential advantages and limitations of each treatment and ensure you have all necessary information before proceeding.
Your consultation with Dr Scott Allison
During your consultation, Dr Scott Allison will take time to understand your areas of concern and health background. A comprehensive facial analysis will be performed to assess structural changes, muscle dynamics, and individual skin characteristics.
Discussion and Planning
You’ll explore various treatment options based on individual anatomy and medical suitability, including individual variability of outcomes, recovery time, and aftercare requirements. If prescription-only products are considered appropriate, these will be discussed privately in consultation and are not advertised publicly.
Medical Evaluation
Dr Allison will review your medical history, allergies, medications, and any previous procedures. This ensures all recommendations are made with your individual suitability in mind.
Procedure Overview
Each step will be explained, including how treatments are performed, what sensations you may experience, and post-procedure care. You’ll also receive written aftercare instructions tailored to your individual circumstances, outlining what to expect in the days following treatment.
A detailed treatment plan and transparent cost summary will be provided before any procedure takes place. This approach ensures you have the information needed to make an informed decision.
What to Expect During Treatment
The treatment performed will depend on the procedure determined to be suitable at consultation. All details, including what to expect on the day, are discussed individually with Dr Allison prior to proceeding.
Who May Be Suitable
Individuals seeking a medical consultation to discuss non-surgical options for facial laxity or contour loss may wish to book an assessment with Dr Allison. Those who may be suitable for consultation generally include people who:
-
Are experiencing changes in facial volume or skin characteristics associated with ageing
-
Are interested in non-surgical options and wish to discuss what may be appropriate for their individual anatomy
-
Are in good general health and have realistic expectations of individual variability in outcomes
Dr Allison will assess your skin characteristics, facial anatomy, and medical history to determine suitability. Certain health conditions, allergies, or medications may make specific treatments unsuitable; these will be discussed in detail before proceeding.
Aftercare Guidance
Aftercare is an essential part of your treatment process. Dr Allison will provide individualised aftercare instructions based on the procedure undertaken. Following these recommendations supports your recovery process. Individual recovery experiences vary. If you notice anything unexpected, Dr Allison’s team is available for support and review.
All medical procedures carry inherent risks. All procedures are performed under medical supervision and risks are discussed in full prior to treatment.
If any unusual symptoms occur, such as persistent pain, discolouration, or swelling, patients should contact the clinic promptly. You can read more about risks and management on our Risks and Complications page.
