Ways to enquire
Overview
Information to discuss during consultation
If you have questions about the shape or balance of your lower face, start with a private consultation. You do not need to know which treatment to ask for — that is what the appointment is for.
Two options are usually discussed here, both focused on the lower face. Facial slimming targets the jaw muscles. In people with prominent jaw muscles, it may help reduce the appearance of a wide or square jawline. Jawline lifting targets several muscles along the lower face and neck, to help create a smoother and more defined jawline appearance. It may also assist in softening the appearance of neck bands and contribute to a more contoured lower-face profile.
Whether either is appropriate for you will require a consultation to discuss your goals, determine suitability, and talk through alternatives, potential risks, side effects, downtime, aftercare and realistic expectations before you decide anything. We also discuss what you notice about your own face and your medical history. Individual results vary.

What to expect
From consultation to aftercare.
Individual experiences, downtime and aftercare vary. Everything below is discussed with you before any treatment decision is made.
Consultation
A private discussion of your aesthetic goals, with your questions answered and the available options explained. Your practitioner covers suitability, alternatives, potential risks, side effects, downtime, aftercare and realistic expectations for your individual needs.
What to expect
If you proceed and follow the required aftercare, side effects are likely to be mild and temporary, and may include mild bruising at the treatment site. Over the first few days you may notice mild jaw tension when chewing after facial slimming, or mild neck tension after jawline lifting. Individual experiences vary.
Aftercare
If you choose to undertake a treatment following the consultation, to minimise the downtime, please:
- Avoid exercise for 48 hours, and high-intensity exercise on the day of treatment and the day after
- Stay upright for 4 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Avoid facial massages, facial treatments and saunas for 2 weeks
Questions
Questions about slimming & lifting
Do I need to know which treatment to ask for?
No, and most people don't. If you are unsure which treatment you want, simply choose Book a consultation in our booking system rather than a specific treatment — it is there for exactly this.
Tell us what you notice about your lower face and what you would like to understand. Your consultation is where we discuss the available options — facial slimming, jawline lifting, or neither — and whether any of them may be suitable for you.
Do I need to proceed?
No. You can attend your consultation, ask everything you want to ask, and decide not to go ahead. Deciding against treatment, or wanting time to think, is a normal outcome and not a wasted appointment.
When will aftercare be discussed?
Before any treatment decision is made, not afterwards. Aftercare depends on which option is discussed and on your individual circumstances, so your practitioner explains what would be required of you while you are still deciding — including the activity, alcohol and skincare restrictions in the days and weeks following.
Can I eat and drink after?
Yes. You can eat and drink as normal following treatment. Alcohol is the exception — we ask you to avoid it for 24 hours.
Is there much downtime?
Following the required aftercare can reduce the risk of downtime. Where it occurs it may include mild bruising at the treatment site, which can typically be covered with light make-up the following day. Individual experiences vary, and your practitioner will discuss what is reasonable to expect in your case.
How long will the results last?
For both facial slimming and jawline lifting the effects are temporary, generally lasting around five to six months. Individual results vary, and how long any effect lasts depends on factors discussed at your consultation. This is general information, not a prediction of your own outcome.
After facial slimming, can I sleep on my side?
Yes. Sleeping on your side will not affect the masseter muscle after treatment.
What happens once the treatment wears off?
The treated area gradually returns to its baseline appearance — how it looked before treatment. The effect is temporary rather than permanent, which is one of the things worth discussing at your consultation.
Costs
Understanding the cost of treatment.
What treatment costs depends on your facial structure and anatomy, on the goals you are hoping to work toward, and on which treatments are involved in getting there. Two people asking for a similar outcome may need very different plans.
A consultation is the most reliable way to understand what your own treatment plan would involve and what it would cost. We will discuss your goals, talk through what may be suitable, and set out the cost of that specific plan — with no obligation to proceed.
