Face sculpting procedures are one way to enhance facial symmetry and balance facial features. When people undergo procedures such as rhinoplasty or cheek augmentation, it helps enhance some of their facial features and bring them into harmony with the rest of the face. Genetic issues with one’s features, such as flat cheeks or a weak chin, can be corrected with a facial contouring surgery like cheekbone enhancement surgery or a chin implant procedure. Stay with us as we discuss how face sculpting surgeries can help one achieve a contoured look.
👄 What Is Face Sculpting?
One of the main goals of the facial sculpting procedure is to enhance the symmetry of the face and bring definition to features such as the chin, cheeks, jawline, etc. It helps improve the appearance of certain features to help the patient achieve their aesthetic goals. It also balances the upper, middle, and lower face for it to achieve a naturally attractive look.
✨ Moreover, the facial sculpting procedure is customized to suit the gender, facial structure, ethnicity, and aesthetics of the patient. This is to ensure that the final results emphasize the patient’s unique beauty.
Surgical sculpting techniques are permanent compared to temporary non-surgical procedures. Therefore, it is essential to work with a Board-certified surgeon for these procedures as they require greater precision to make drastic improvements.
✨ Dr. Cengizhan Ekizceli is a master of the art of precision and personalization. He does not have a one-size-fits-all approach. He tailors his procedures to the unique facial anatomy of each patient to give them naturally beautiful and undetectable results.
💎 Key Surgical Procedures That Define a Sculpted Face
The following procedures help to reshape and accentuate particular features of the face. This is to bring about the needed changes that can make the facial features harmonious.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal has recently gained traction due to its slimming effect. The procedure involves creating an incision on the inside of the mouth and cutting and removing the buccal fat pads. The surgeon then closes the incision, leaving the face looking slimmer due to the absence of fat pads. People with fuller cheeks get this face slimming surgery to give their face a V-shaped look by refining the contours of the lower face.
Chin Augmentation
The Chin Augmentation Surgery in Turkey is a surgical procedure focusing on the chin. It involves making an incision in the mouth or under the chin to insert an implant. Moreover, the surgeon may use either a silicone implant or employ the fat grafting procedure to help improve chin projection and shape.
When combined with jawline surgery, this procedure helps enhance the profile of the lower face.
Jawline Contouring Surgery
The Jawline Contouring Surgery, also known as V-line Surgery, helps achieve a sculpted jawline. The surgeon may use jawline shaving or repositioning to soften a bulky jawline and give it a V-line effect or add implants to accentuate a weak jawline.
Cheekbone Enhancement (Zygoma Reduction or Implants)
The Cheekbone enhancement surgery focuses on accentuating the midface and volumizing the cheekbones. For this purpose, implants made of medical-grade silicone are used to give lift to the cheekbones and make the mid-face appear tighter and fuller. For wide cheekbones, the surgeons use the Zygoma Reduction surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon eliminates some of the width of the cheekbones while also improving cheekbone projection.
Neck Liposuction or Submentoplasty
The indications for this procedure include the presence of extra tissue under the chin (double chin) and improvement of the neck contours. A submentoplasty is also an effective way to enhance the definition of the jawline. Extra skin and fat are removed by making a small incision under the chin. A submentoplasty is more localized and less invasive than a chin lift. It also has quicker recovery times. The procedure is often paired with a chin augmentation for better aesthetics.
Temporal or Forehead Contouring
Forehead contouring aims to improve facial symmetry and aesthetics. Moreover, the target patient pool consists of people who want to soften their facial features or decrease the size of the forehead for better facial balance. During the procedure, measures such as implants, shaving, or fat grafting are employed to achieve youthful contours. The incision for forehead contouring is along the hairline or scalp. It is an extensive surgery requiring careful pre-surgical planning and is done under general anesthesia.
Eyelid Lift and Brow Lift
Both these procedures aim to open up the eyes and lift sagging tissue for fresher and youthful contours. Eyelid surgery in Turkey is very common. It is performed as a standalone surgery and as part of a combined procedure. It is also known as a Blepharoplasty. By combining these two procedures, cosmetic surgeons aim to improve facial symmetry and complement other mid and lower facial procedures.
⚡ Combining Procedures for a Customized Result
Based on ethnicity and genetics, facial appearance widely differs between individuals. A customized cosmetic surgical procedure is an effective way of accounting for these individual differences.
Full Facial Sculpting Plans
A full facial sculpting plan aims to enhance facial features and bring harmony to the facial aesthetics. It focuses on several areas of the face to ensure symmetry from every angle (profile, front, and ¾ views). The procedures that may be a part of an individual’s full facial sculpting plan include:
- Forehead/Brow – Forehead contouring, Brow lift, hairline adjustment
- Eyes – Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty, Canthoplasty, Lateral Canthopexy
- Nose – Nose job (Rhinoplasty)
- Cheeks And Mid-face – Cheek Augmentation, Cheek Reduction, Mid-Facelift
- Chin/Jawline – Chin Augmentation,/Reduction, Jawline contouring, Masseter Reduction
Balancing Masculine vs. Feminine Aesthetics
Cosmetic surgical procedures are the same for men and women. The difference lies in their extent and application. Cosmetic surgery aims to maintain a balance between masculine and feminine aesthetics for desirable outcomes. For example, masculine aesthetics demand a more defined jawline, a stronger/prominent chin, and squarer features. While female aesthetics focuses on a V-line jaw, lifted cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and softer contours. Therefore, although the procedures are the same, male and female patients require personalized approaches based on individual goals.

✨ Real Success Stories, Real Results: Lidiia’s Face and Neck Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty Results
Lidiia chose the Estherian Clinic for her face and neck lift as well as upper blepharoplasty. Let’s take a closer look at her transformation journey with Dr. Cengzihan from the Estherian Clinic.
Before the Surgery
When Lidiia came to us, she had some sagging around her jaw as well as the chin area. She also had very pronounced crow’s feet in addition to some fine lines around her eye area. Moreover, her nasolabial folds were also very noticeable. Overall, her face lacked smoothness and needed a lift to appear more taut. Dr. Cengizhan opted for a face and neck lift to bring more definition to her face and neck. Additionally, he decided to perform an upper blepharoplasty to bring some lift to her eye area.
After the Surgery
It is evident from the photo above that her face and neck lift significantly helped with the sagging in her face and neck. We can see that her face looks much more contoured than before, her cheekbones accentuated, and a drastic reduction in the overall appearance of fine lines on her face and neck. The neck area also has more definition and looks a lot more sculpted. Moreover, the upper blepharoplasty largely reduced the appearance of her crow’s feet and made her eyes seem more open and lifted.
