At The Naderi Center for Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, facial contouring is not a mere cosmetic option but a precise art based on balance, proportion, and cultural awareness. Under the direction of Dr. Shervin Naderi, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with more than twenty years of experience exclusively devoted to facial aesthetics, the center has turned into one of the leading spots in the country for both non-surgical and surgical procedures of contouring of the cheeks, jawline, and chin.

What Is Facial Contouring?
Facial contouring enhances the structure of the face by redefining key areas like the cheeks, jawline, and chin. Whether through surgical procedures or non-surgical treatments like fillers, Botox, or Morpheus8, the goal is always to achieve a naturally balanced, youthful appearance tailored to each patient’s unique facial anatomy and heritage.
“At The Naderi Center, our goal isn’t to change your identity,” explains Dr. Naderi. “It’s to bring balance and refinement to the features you already have. The most successful results are the ones that look completely natural.”
Every facial contouring treatment at The Naderi Center is performed by a physician injector, not a nurse or technician. This physician-led approach ensures safety, precision, and artistry — a crucial distinction in a field where millimeters make the difference between “overdone” and “just right.”
Tailored Goals for Every Gender
Facial contouring goals differ dramatically between men and women. Women typically seek lifted cheekbones, a softer jawline, and a defined but feminine chin. Men often want a stronger, squarer jaw and a more pronounced chin. Dr. Naderi and his team tailor each plan to preserve gender harmony while enhancing definition.
How Face Contouring Changes Through the Ages
In your 20s and 30s, contouring often focuses on enhancing bone structure or balancing asymmetry. By the 40s and 50s, the goal shifts toward restoring lost facial volume and tightening lax skin. Older patients may combine Morpheus8, Sculptra, or Kybella with subtle fillers to rejuvenate the face without surgery.
Knowing When Cosmetic Surgery Is Best
While non-surgical treatments offer incredible results, there are times when facial plastic surgery — such as chin implants, buccal fat removal, or lower facelift procedures — may be the best long-term solution. “The key is knowing when surgery will create the most natural, lasting result,” says Dr. Naderi. “Experience allows us to guide patients honestly.”
Non-Surgical Contouring Options
Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler injections are among the most versatile contouring tools. At The Naderi Center, Dr. Naderi and his team use advanced fillers from trusted brands to enhance cheekbones, define the jawline, or project the chin — all without downtime or scars.
Sculptra
Sculptra is not a traditional filler; it’s a collagen stimulator that gradually restores volume and firmness. It’s ideal for patients who want natural, gradual improvement over time. Results can last up to two years after an initial series of treatments.
Botox
Botox isn’t just for wrinkles — when injected into the masseter muscles, it can slim a wide or square face. This is particularly popular among women and Asian patients seeking a more V-shaped facial silhouette.
Kybella Injections
Kybella targets submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” Through a series of injections, fat cells are permanently destroyed, tightening and refining the jawline contour over several months.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten and firm the skin, improving jawline definition and cheek structure. It’s often used alongside injectables for comprehensive facial refinement.

Treatment Frequency and Maintenance
Treatment frequency varies. Sculptra normally needs two or three visits, with one month between each. Kybella commonly needs two to four visits—the exact count depends on how much fat is present. Morpheus8 is often repeated once a year; small filler adjustments take place every 12 – 18 months. Botox that slims the masseter muscle usually needs renewal every four to six months.
While fillers and neuromodulators are temporary, consistent maintenance leads to cumulative improvements. Over time, treatments like Sculptra, besides Morpheus8, prompt the skin to grow new collagen—the added support firms the tissue, plus the sculpted shape holds for a far longer span.
Cultural and Ethnic Aesthetics in Contouring
Asian Patients
Many Asian patients want a longer, slimmer face that looks heart-shaped or oval. Doctors relax the jaw muscles with Botox to narrow the jawline. They place filler at the chin to push it forward; and reshape the cheeks so the upper and lower parts of the face look balanced.
Middle Eastern Patients
Patients of Middle Eastern descent often prefer their jaw and chin to project a little more, so that the profile stays in harmony with a strong nose or full lips. Dr. Naderi, himself of Persian heritage, knows those preferences from the inside.
Latino and Black Patients
Latino patients frequently request definition without overfilling, emphasizing sculpted cheekbones and a clean jawline. Black patients may seek enhanced cheek lift and subtle chin shaping while preserving natural fullness and ethnic identity. Dr. Naderi’s approach celebrates these distinctions, never erasing them.
Caucasian Patients
Many Caucasian patients ask for subtle reshaping to look younger. They want the midface plumped up again and the jowls pulled back. Sculptra refills lost volume, while Morpheus8 tightens skin. Together, they keep the face looking youthful without an operation.
Combining Techniques for the Best Results
Often, the most beautiful outcomes come from combining modalities — for example, Botox for slimming, fillers for structure, and Morpheus8 for tightening. Dr. Naderi’s thorough treatment not only focuses on the surface but also on the deep tissues to provide natural, pleasing results.
Non-surgical reshaping suits people who want clear changes without downtime. However, for those with significant skin laxity or bone resorption, procedures—like placing a chin implant or performing a surgical facelift—usually give a stronger, longer-lasting result.
At The Naderi Center, every injection and contouring procedure is done by board-certified doctors only. This rule guarantees medical accuracy, security, and excellent aesthetic results — one of the main reasons why patients from all over the U.S. place their trust in Dr. Naderi’s team.
Personalized Consultations at The Naderi Center
During each consultation, patients receive a detailed facial assessment that maps out bone structure, volume loss, and symmetry. “Every face tells a story,” says Dr. Naderi. “Our job is to read it carefully and enhance it, not rewrite it.”
No single rule works for every face. If the cheeks need a slight lift or the jaw needs a sharper edge, the plan is drawn from three things: how the face already balances, the patient’s ethnic background, and the look the patient wants. Dr. Naderi plus his staff draw each reshaping plan like a work of art.
Recovery with Natural Outcomes
Many patients feel only slight discomfort. Morpheus8 and Kybella often produce short-term swelling. After fillers or Botox, people resume normal tasks right away. Within days to weeks, the outcome refines, showing sharper, smoother lines.
At The Naderi Center, the philosophy is simple: You should look like yourself — only better. Each facial contouring procedure aims for elegance, not exaggeration. The results should look effortless and age gracefully over time.
Expertise and Artistry in Every Detail
Facial contouring demands a solid grasp of anatomy and balance. With 20 years devoted solely to the face, Dr. Naderi possesses the exact expertise needed to align facial structure, shadow, as well as light into a balanced result.
Overfilling, asymmetry, and poor injection technique can give the face an odd shape. The Naderi Center limits each injection and lets a trained doctor perform the work—the result looks natural and respects the real lines of the face.
Contour isn’t just about volume — facial skin texture and elasticity matter. Combining contouring with ZO Skin Health and Alastin skincare optimizes both tone and firmness for long-term enhancement.
Confidence and Lasting Transformation
Many patients describe contouring as confidence-transforming. Small changes in structure can dramatically shift self-image, improve facial harmony, and rejuvenate appearance — often without anyone knowing exactly why you look so refreshed.
People from all over the country come to see Dr. Naderi for his unparalleled skill in facial symmetry and ratio. Be it a jawline sculpting or a cheek lift, his outcomes are always natural, youthful, and classy at the same time.
