You don’t have to plan a trip to Korea or endure the plastic surgeon’s scalpel for the perfect V-shaped face. In fact, you hardly have to go farther than Orchard Road. Whether you desire a more feminine jaw line or more youthful facial contours, Le Privaté Clinic can help you achieve it effortless­ly—and in time for the New Year.

Facial contouring is one of the signature treatments of Le Privaté Clinic, helmed by the talented Dr Eileen Lew. Instead of surgical jaw reduction, the Medical Director works with a combinatio­n of less invasive options such as Botox, fillers, lasers and infrared devices to achieve this with the least discomfort and downtime possible—it is normal to experience slight swelling for no more than a few days.

SHAPE SHIFTERS

If the main reason for a broad, square jaw is excessive jaw muscle bulk, Botox can provide an easy and quick solution. During this procedure, a naturally purified protein is injected into the jaw line to temporaril­y relax facial muscles for a “slimming” effect.

To complement this, Botox may also be injected into the lower cheeks to “lift” sagging jowls, or into the chin to lengthen and sharpen it for more facial definition. Done right, this can make you look more youthful, balance your facial profile and create the ideal triangular face shape seen in many models. The best part is: this procedure is so quick, straightfo­rward and pain-free that you can head straight for your next appointmen­t immediatel­y after treatment.

YOUTH ENHANCERS

While Botox and fillers can help to reshape your face, youthful, firm and elastic skin is essential to maintain optimal results. At Le Privaté Clinic, the cutting-edge STAR2 technology is offered to enhance the general sculpting effect.

This high performanc­e anti-aging device features an advanced infrared technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulate collagen production and “lift” the face. A broadband light is also used to rejuvenate the skin, minimise imperfecti­ons and enhance your complexion. In other words, you’ll not only walk out of the clinic with your desired jaw line, but also with more beautiful and flawless skin.

PERSONAL TOUCHES

Advanced aesthetic technology aside, what Dr Lew offers is years of medical expertise, a rare aesthetic eye and extremely personalis­ed service. Since each person’s face is unique, she begins each treatment with a detailed clinical assessment on which procedures work for you, and which specific enhancemen­ts will best harmonise your face and bring out your unique features.

More is not necessaril­y better, so each treatment is tailored for the individual’s needs, with just the right touches necessary to bring out your natural beauty. In other words, you won’t emerge like a cookie-cutter mould of “perfection” or even look like you’ve “done something” to your face. You’ll still look like you—only better.
