Contorno facial

The Golden Ratio is a mathematical constant of approximately 1.618 that has been used for centuries to define ideal proportions in art and nature. In a clinical setting, the experts at Epione use this ratio to ensure that the width of the nose, the fullness of the lips, and the projection of the chin are in perfect balance with one another. By adhering to these universal principles of beauty, Dr. Simon Ourian creates results that the human eye naturally perceives as beautiful and harmonious.

The "duck lip" look occurs when filler is injected too superficially or in excessive quantities, causing the lip to protrude horizontally rather than lifting vertically. Using an artist’s eye, the clinical team at Epione focuses on defining the borders and the "cupid's bow" while respecting the natural anatomy of the muscle. This ensures that the lips remain soft, hydrated, and proportional to the rest of the facial architecture.

Yes, it is often possible to "reset" the facial architecture by dissolving old, migrated filler with hyaluronidase. Once the distorted volume is removed, the experts at Epione can reassess the face as a clean canvas. Dr. Simon Ourian can then use a more strategic, structural approach to restore volume in the correct anatomical planes, resulting in a much more natural and refreshed appearance.

A thorough architectural assessment may take slightly longer because it involves a more detailed analysis of the face from multiple angles and in different lighting. However, the team at Epione believes this extra time is essential for preventing the overdone look and ensuring the highest quality result. The actual injection process remains efficient, but the planning phase is where the artistry truly happens.

Cameras and mirrors translate three-dimensional objects differently, and certain lens focal lengths can distort facial proportions. The artist’s eye approach accounts for this by ensuring the facial architecture is balanced in "real world" conditions. By focusing on how light and shadow behave in 3D space, the experts at Epione ensure that you look your best whether you are seeing your reflection or appearing in a high-definition photograph.

Deciding where to keep or soften shadows requires a deep understanding of youthful versus aged facial topography. For example, a shadow under the cheekbone can be very attractive and slimming, whereas a shadow in the temple can make a person look tired. The clinical team at Epione uses their artistic training to determine which shadows to preserve for definition and which to soften for rejuvenation.

When applied with an architectural mindset, combining these treatments actually leads to a more natural result. Fillers provide the structure, while neuromodulators (like Botox) soften the dynamic lines caused by muscle movement. Dr. Simon Ourian uses precise dosing to ensure that you retain your ability to express yourself naturally while your facial features remains sculpted and smooth.

A biostimulatory filler is a type of injectable that does more than just fill space; it contains active ingredients that trigger the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. At Epione Beverly Hills, these treatments are used to rebuild the skin's internal structure for long-lasting, organic-looking results.

While some products like Radiesse show an immediate lift, the full biostimulatory effect usually takes three to six months to become fully apparent. Dr. Simon Ourian explains that this gradual process is what allows the volume to look so natural and integrated with the patient's features.

Neither is objectively "better," as they serve different purposes; HA fillers are great for instant hydration and specific areas like the lips, while biostimulators are ideal for structural lifting and global volume. Many patients at Epione benefit from a combination of both to achieve a balanced and youthful appearance.

The collagen stimulated by Sculptra can provide a rejuvenated look for up to two years or even longer in some cases. The experts at Epione often recommend a maintenance session every 18 to 24 months to keep the collagen levels optimized and the skin looking firm.

Yes, biostimulatory fillers are highly versatile and are frequently used to treat the neck, chest, and hands to improve skin thickness and reduce sagging. Dr. Simon Ourian also utilizes specialized biostimulatory techniques for body contouring and skin tightening in areas like the buttocks and thighs.

Because biostimulators rely on your body’s own collagen production, the risk of an artificial or overfilled look is significantly lower than with traditional fillers. At Epione Beverly Hills, the focus is on a subtle restoration of volume that enhances the patient's natural beauty rather than changing it.

Downtime is generally minimal, with some patients experiencing mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites for a few days. The clinical team at Epione provides detailed instructions, such as specific massage techniques for Sculptra, to ensure the healing process is smooth and the results are even.

Biostimulatory fillers are generally safe and effective for a wide range of skin types and ethnicities when administered by a skilled professional. Dr. Simon Ourian has extensive experience in customizing these treatments to meet the unique needs of a diverse, international patient base at Epione.

A snatched jawline refers to a highly defined, sharp mandibular border that clearly separates the face from the neck. The experts at Epione achieve this by using specialized dermal fillers to add structure to the jawline and chin, creating a linear and athletic profile. Dr. Simon Ourian’s technique ensures that the jaw looks naturally prominent and firm, which is a key pillar of the snatched aesthetic.

Yes, the vast majority of patients at Epione Beverly Hills achieve a snatched appearance through non-invasive facial architecture. By combining biostimulatory fillers for structure and laser treatments for skin tightening, Dr. Simon Ourian can mimic the results of more invasive procedures. This non-surgical approach provides the desired definition with minimal downtime and a much higher safety profile than traditional surgery.

At Epione, Neustem is often the preferred choice for cheekbone augmentation because of its biostimulatory properties and structural firmness. This filler provides an immediate lift while encouraging the body to produce its own collagen, ensuring the results are long-lasting and feel natural. Dr. Simon Ourian places these fillers deep within the facial layers to provide the underlying support necessary for a snatched, lifted look.

The longevity of a snatched appearance depends on the specific treatments used, but many patients at Epione Beverly Hills enjoy their results for eighteen months to two years. Fillers used for structural architecture tend to last longer than those used in more mobile areas like the lips. The clinical team at Epione will help you develop a maintenance schedule to ensure your contours remain sharp and defined over time.

The hallmark of a treatment at Epione is a result that is dramatic yet entirely natural in appearance. Dr. Simon Ourian focuses on reinforcing the natural bone structure rather than simply adding volume to the soft tissues. This "architecture-first" philosophy ensures that your face looks snatched and contoured without the "pillowy" or "overdone" look often associated with poorly performed filler treatments.

Many patients see a significant transformation after just one session at Epione Beverly Hills, as dermal fillers provide instant structural changes. However, some may opt for a follow-up session to add further refinement or to incorporate skin-tightening treatments like Coolaser. During your consultation, the experts at Epione will determine the most efficient timeline to help you reach your ultimate aesthetic goals.

Most patients experience only minor swelling or very slight bruising, allowing them to return to their daily activities almost immediately after their visit to Epione. Dr. Simon Ourian uses advanced injection techniques to minimize trauma to the tissue, making the recovery process as smooth as possible. Epione’s clinical staff will provide you with all the necessary aftercare to ensure your new, snatched look heals perfectly.
