From Flat to Flowing – Forehead Contouring
This patient came to Medical Aesthetics 360° wanting to improve a concern that was subtle, but very noticeable to her — a flatter-looking forehead with slight hollowing near the hairline. From the side profile, the forehead contour did not flow as smoothly as she wanted, which made the upper face look less balanced in photos.
After a detailed consultation, Dr Suzanna Luo assessed her facial proportions, forehead shape, hairline transition and overall profile balance. A personalised forehead contouring treatment plan was recommended to support a smoother forehead shape, improve facial harmony, and create a more natural-looking forehead enhancement without changing her facial identity.
The focus was not to create an exaggerated “filled” look, but to refine the forehead curve, soften the hollow area and improve the transition between the forehead and hairline. This facial contouring approach helped enhance her profile in a subtle, balanced way while maintaining a natural result.
A More Defined Nose, A More Balanced Profile
This patient liked her overall facial features but felt that her nose lacked definition, particularly through the bridge and tip. From certain angles, she felt her profile appeared flatter, making the centre of her face look less balanced. Rather than wanting a dramatic change, her goal was to achieve subtle refinement that would complement her natural appearance.
Following a comprehensive consultation, Dr Suzanna Luo carefully assessed her facial proportions, profile and overall facial harmony before developing a personalised treatment plan. Instead of focusing solely on the nose, the treatment was designed to improve how the nose blended with the forehead, lips and chin, creating a smoother and more balanced facial profile. The approach prioritised natural proportions so the result enhanced her existing features without looking overcorrected.
Less Jaw Heaviness, More Facial Harmony
This young patient always felt that her face appeared broader than the rest of her features, making photos look different from how she saw herself in the mirror. Despite maintaining a healthy weight, the lower face still looked heavier, affecting the overall balance of her facial proportions.
After a comprehensive facial assessment, Dr Suzanna Luo discussed her concerns and developed a personalised treatment plan based on her facial anatomy, muscle activity and aesthetic goals. The treatment focused on improving lower facial balance by addressing the prominence of the jaw area while preserving her natural facial characteristics. The aim was not to change her appearance, but to create a softer, more harmonious facial contour that complemented her existing features.
Subtle Nose Bridge Refinement with Nose Threads
A young female patient attended the clinic with concerns about a flatter nose bridge and a softer nose contour than she preferred.
Her goal was not to create a dramatic or artificial-looking change. She wanted a nose profile that looked slightly more elevated, better defined and more balanced, while still looking natural on her face.
During the consultation, we discussed her facial proportions, her existing nose shape and what could realistically be achieved with nose threads. The treatment plan focused on subtle bridge elevation and contour refinement, rather than changing her overall appearance.
Before proceeding, the benefits, limitations and risks were discussed carefully. This included common considerations such as swelling, bruising, tenderness, asymmetry, irregularity, thread palpability or visibility, and the possibility that further review or adjustment may be required. We also discussed the small but real risk of infection, which is uncommon but important to understand before any procedure involving thread placement.
After understanding the procedure, expected recovery and possible risks, she decided to proceed.
Treatment Description
The treatment began with two small local anaesthetic injections to numb the area.
Once the anaesthetic had taken effect, the procedure was very comfortable for her. She reported no pain during the treatment after numbing, and the process was completed smoothly.
The aim was to support the nose bridge and improve the visual contour in a way that looked soft, elegant and proportionate to her natural facial features.
Softer Jawline & Facial Balance — Addressing Teeth Grinding with a Slimmer Look
This patient visited Medical Aesthetics 360° with concerns about a broader lower face, a more prominent jawline, and ongoing jaw tension related to teeth grinding, also known as bruxism.
Over time, she had noticed that her jaw felt tight and overworked, especially during stressful periods. Along with the discomfort, she also felt that the lower part of her face appeared heavier and wider than she preferred. Like many patients seeking face slimming treatment in Sydney, she was not looking for a dramatic or artificial change. Her goal was a softer, more balanced facial contour while also improving the feeling of muscle tightness in the jaw.
During her consultation at Medical Aesthetics 360°, Dr Chun-Yen Huang assessed her facial structure, jaw muscle activity, and overall facial balance. He explained that a wider or heavier-looking lower face can sometimes be associated with overactive jaw muscles, particularly in patients who frequently clench or grind their teeth.
A personalised treatment plan was recommended to help relax the overactive jaw muscles, reduce the appearance of lower-face heaviness, and support a more balanced facial shape. The aim was to create a gradual and natural-looking improvement while maintaining normal facial expression.
This approach focused on softening the jawline rather than changing the patient’s natural features. Over time, the lower face appeared more refined, the jawline looked less bulky, and the overall facial contour became more harmonious.
For patients experiencing jaw tightness, teeth grinding, or concerns about a square or heavy lower face, a consultation can help determine whether jawline slimming treatment may be suitable. At Medical Aesthetics 360°, consultations are available at both our Hurstville and Chatswood clinics in Sydney.

Softer Jawline & Slimmer Lower Face
This patient in her 20s visited Medical Aesthetics 360° because she felt her lower face looked wider and heavier, especially in photos or when clenching her teeth. She also had a teeth grinding habit, which can contribute to overactive masseter muscles and a bulkier jawline appearance over time.
After a personalised consultation, Dr Suzanna Luo recommended a tailored injectable treatment plan to help relax the overactive jaw muscles and soften the lower facial contour. The goal was to create a slimmer, smoother and more balanced face shape while maintaining her natural features.
