Face Slimming
A softer, wider lower face can obscure your bone structure and add years to your appearance. Non-surgical face slimming offers a refined, medically guided alternative to surgical procedures, sculpting a cleaner jawline and more elegant profile without incisions or extended recovery. Dr. Simon Ourian evaluates the specific sources of your facial fullness and builds a treatment plan that delivers the subtle, sophisticated results you're looking for.
A More Defined Face, Without Surgery
The shape of your face communicates more than most people realize. A softer, wider lower face can obscure bone structure, add visual weight, and age the appearance in ways that no amount of contouring makeup can fully correct. Non-surgical face slimming at Epione Beverly Hills addresses the underlying causes of facial fullness with precision, creating a cleaner, more sculpted result that feels natural and enduring.
Dr. Simon Ourian has spent decades refining his approach to facial aesthetics, and face slimming is one of the most transformative services his practice offers. Rather than relying on a single technique, Dr. Ourian evaluates the full architecture of the face before recommending a treatment plan. The result is a profile that looks like the best version of you, not a face that has been visibly altered.
Patients who seek this treatment are typically not looking for dramatic change. They want subtlety and refinement. They want their jawline to look defined in photographs, their face to appear slimmer in profile, and their features to read with greater elegance. That clarity of outcome is exactly what this service is designed to deliver.
Understanding What Creates Facial Width
Facial fullness in the lower face typically comes from one of three sources: enlarged masseter muscles, excess submental fat beneath the chin, or volume distribution in the mid and lower cheek area. Identifying which factor, or combination of factors, is contributing to a patient's concern is the first step toward an effective result. This is where clinical expertise separates a good outcome from an exceptional one.
Masseter jaw reduction addresses one of the most common contributors to a wide or heavy-looking lower face. The masseter muscles, which sit at the angle of the jaw and control chewing, can become hypertrophied through habitual clenching or grinding. When these muscles are enlarged, they create a square, bulky jaw shape. A carefully placed injectable treatment relaxes and gradually reduces the size of these muscles, allowing the jaw to taper naturally and producing the slim jawline look that many patients are seeking.
In cases where submental fat contributes to a soft or undefined chin and neck junction, double chin reduction using non-invasive injectable treatments can be highly effective. Similarly, patients with fuller cheeks sometimes ask about options that go beyond what surgical buccal fat removal involves. Dr. Ourian offers a sophisticated injectable alternative that addresses volume and contour in the cheek area without the recovery or permanence of surgery. Understanding the cause is always the starting point.
How Dr. Ourian Approaches Your Treatment
Every face slimming consultation at Epione begins with a thorough assessment of facial anatomy, proportion, and symmetry. Dr. Simon Ourian reviews photographs, discusses the patient's goals, and outlines a treatment strategy that reflects realistic and individualized outcomes. There is no generic protocol here. Each plan is built from scratch around the patient sitting across from him.
For patients whose concern centers on jawline and lower face width, jawline contouring injections targeting the masseter muscles form the core of the treatment. These injections are quick, require no anesthesia, and cause minimal discomfort. Over the following six to eight weeks, the muscles gradually soften and reduce in bulk, creating a more tapered facial shape. Many patients also incorporate complementary lower face sculpting techniques, including strategic filler placement or fat-dissolving injections, to refine the overall result.
The team at Epione Beverly Hills works with clinical precision at every stage. Dosing, placement, and timing are all calibrated to produce a harmonious outcome that respects the natural balance of the face. Dr. Ourian does not chase a single aesthetic ideal. He works toward the version of facial harmony that is most appropriate for each patient's unique bone structure and soft tissue distribution.
Who Benefits Most From This Treatment
Face slimming treatments are suitable for a wide range of patients, but they are particularly effective for those with a square or rectangular facial shape who want to create a softer, more oval or V-shape face without surgery. Patients who clench or grind their teeth often find that masseter reduction offers both aesthetic and functional relief. Those who have noticed that their face looks heavier or wider than it did in their twenties frequently benefit from a combined approach that addresses multiple contributing factors.
Chubby cheeks reduction using injectables is an option well-suited to patients who feel that the fullness of their mid-face softens or obscures their cheekbones. It is a particularly appealing alternative for those who have researched surgical options but are not ready for the downtime or commitment that a procedure in the operating room requires. The injectable approach allows for gradual, controllable change with minimal disruption to everyday life.
This treatment is not appropriate for everyone, and the experts at Epione are transparent about that. Patients with very little facial fat or those with underlying medical conditions affecting their muscles or nerves will receive honest guidance during their consultation. The goal is always the right treatment for the right patient, delivered at the right time.

The Patient Experience at Epione
From the first consultation, patients at Epione Beverly Hills are met with a level of attention that reflects the practice's standing in the world of cosmetic dermatology. Dr. Ourian reviews each patient's anatomy in detail, often using photographs to map out the treatment and set a clear visual benchmark for the outcome. Patients leave the consultation with a genuine understanding of what will be done, why it will be done that way, and what they can expect to see in the weeks that follow.
The treatment itself is performed in a serene, clinical environment designed to put patients at ease. Numbing is applied well in advance, and Dr. Ourian works with a calm, deliberate pace that minimizes discomfort throughout the session. Most patients describe the experience as far more comfortable than they anticipated. There is no need for sedation, no hospital stay, and no requirement to arrange post-operative care.
After the procedure, patients can typically return to their normal daily activities within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Minor swelling or tenderness in the treated area is normal in the first few days and resolves on its own. The team at Epione Beverly Hills provides clear aftercare guidance and remains accessible throughout the recovery period, ensuring every patient feels supported well beyond the day of their appointment.

Frequently asked questions
How does masseter jaw reduction actually work, and what results can I expect?
The masseter muscles are the large chewing muscles that sit at the corners of the jaw. When they become overdeveloped, either from genetics or habits like grinding, they create a wide, square-shaped lower face. Injecting a neuromodulator directly into these muscles causes them to gradually relax and reduce in size, softening the jawline into a slimmer, more tapered shape. Most patients begin to notice a visible difference around four to six weeks, with full results typically appearing at the three-month mark.
Am I a good candidate for non-surgical face slimming if my face looks full but my jaw isn't particularly square?
Fullness in the face isn't always about the jaw. Some patients carry volume in the cheeks, under the chin, or along the lower face in ways that have nothing to do with muscle size. During your consultation at Epione Beverly Hills, the team evaluates the actual source of that fullness before recommending anything. Depending on your anatomy, the right approach might involve targeting the masseter, addressing submental fat, or a combination of both.
Is there a non-surgical alternative to buccal fat removal for reducing chubby cheeks?
Yes, and for many patients it's actually the smarter choice. Surgical buccal fat removal is permanent and can leave the face looking hollow or gaunt as natural aging continues. Chubby cheeks reduction injectables offer a more controlled, adjustable approach by relaxing specific muscles and, in some cases, using targeted fat-dissolving treatments to refine the midface without committing to irreversible changes. Dr. Ourian takes a conservative philosophy with volume removal for exactly this reason.
What does the treatment process look like from consultation to results?
It starts with an in-depth consultation where Dr. Simon Ourian assesses your facial structure, muscle activity, and overall proportions. If you're a candidate, the injections themselves take only a few minutes and involve minimal discomfort. There's no downtime required afterward. Results develop gradually as the targeted muscles or fat deposits respond, which typically takes several weeks, and that gradual timeline is actually part of what makes the outcome look so natural.
How many sessions are needed to achieve a V-shape face treatment without surgery?
For most patients, one session produces a meaningful improvement, though a second session at three to four months may be recommended depending on the muscle mass and the degree of slimming desired. The experts at Epione work toward a result that looks balanced and proportionate, not overdone. After the initial treatment phase, many patients move to maintenance appointments once or twice a year to preserve the outcome.
Is double chin reduction non-invasive safe, and what are the real risks?
When performed by an experienced injector, these treatments carry a strong safety record. The most common side effects are temporary swelling, mild tenderness, or minor bruising at the injection sites. More significant complications are rare but can occur when treatments are performed by under-qualified providers using inconsistent protocols. That's precisely why provider selection matters as much as the treatment itself. Dr. Ourian has developed and refined his own injection techniques to minimize risk while maximizing precision.
How long do the results from jawline contouring injections last?
Results from muscle-relaxing injections in the jaw typically last six to twelve months before a touch-up is needed, and with consistent treatment over time, many patients find the muscle gradually stays smaller on its own. Fat-dissolving treatments for the lower face tend to produce longer-lasting structural changes. During your follow-up visits at Epione Beverly Hills, the team reassesses your results and adjusts the maintenance plan accordingly.
What's the difference between lower face sculpting with injectables versus surgery, and is one better than the other?
Surgery offers permanence, but permanence isn't always an advantage when faces continue to age and change. Injectables allow Dr. Ourian to sculpt the lower face in a way that evolves with the patient, adjusting over time rather than locking in a single outcome from one point in time. The slim jawline look injectables achieve can be remarkably close to surgical results in the right candidate, without anesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery. For most patients seeking a slimmer facial profile, the non-surgical path delivers the transformation they want with far less disruption to their lives.
