Crow's Feet
Crow’s feet are fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eyes, often called laughter lines because they appear when we smile. They typically emerge in your 30s or 40s as expression lines and gradually become visible even at rest. Aging skin loses collagen and elasticity, causing these lines to deepen and sometimes extend toward the cheeks. While natural, crow’s feet are a common aesthetic concern that can be softened with consistent skincare, professional treatments, and daily sun protection.
Crow’s feet develop from natural aging and lifestyle factors. The delicate skin around the eyes is prone to early lines due to thinning and collagen loss, which is accelerated by sun exposure. Repeated facial movements like smiling and squinting etch lines over time. Smoking, dehydration, and genetics also influence how early and pronounced crow’s feet become.
At MyAesthetics, we offer tailored treatments to soften crow’s feet and promote firmer skin. Anti-wrinkle injections relax eye muscles to smooth dynamic lines. Dermal fillers add volume to deeper, static lines. Skin boosters like Profhilo and mesotherapy hydrate and stimulate collagen, while microneedling enhances skin renewal and firmness. For lasting results, we combine in-clinic treatments with high-performance skincare, including retinoids and antioxidants, to support daily skin resilience.
Forehead Lines / Frown Lines
Lines across the forehead and between the eyebrows are a frequent issue many people notice as they age. These wrinkles can give the face a more fatigued or older look, leading many to explore cosmetic options to soften their appearance. These lines tend to become more permanent over time and affect both men and women alike.
Forehead lines, sometimes called horizontal wrinkles, form as gentle folds running across the forehead. These develop gradually as collagen and elastin diminish with age, and from frequent facial movements like raising the eyebrows. Other influences such as sun damage, smoking, and genetics also play a role in how these lines appear.
Frown lines—often referred to as glabellar or “11” lines—are the vertical creases that show up between the eyebrows. They result from repeated muscle contractions caused by expressions like frowning, squinting, or intense focus. Over time, just like forehead lines, they tend to deepen as the skin loses elasticity and firmness with age.
A personalised approach combining aesthetic treatments can reduce forehead and frown lines for a fresher, youthful look. At MyAesthetics, we offer options tailored to you. Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles. For deeper lines, medical microneedling boosts collagen and elastin and is combined with medical skincare to improve resilience. Additional therapies like polynucleotides, skin boosters, chemical peels, and Hydrafacials enhance skin texture and results.
Dark Circles / Under Eye Hollows / Tired Eyes
Eyes that look tired often show signs like dark circles, puffiness, thin crepey skin, and hollows beneath the eyes. These issues combined can make the face appear older, fatigued, or less lively. Dark circles and hollow areas can give a sunken, worn-out look, while swelling or drooping eyelids may add to a weary or downcast expression. Together, these features can create an impression of tiredness and detract from a bright, youthful appearance.
While tired-looking eyes, dark circles, and under-eye hollows often become more noticeable as we age, other factors also play a role. Genetics, lack of sleep, prolonged screen use, and stress can all contribute. Dark circles commonly occur when the skin thins, making underlying blood vessels and structures more visible — a process influenced by genetics, ageing, allergies, and dehydration. Under-eye hollows develop when fat or volume is lost in that area, often due to hereditary factors, lifestyle, or natural ageing. Sleep deprivation can cause fluid buildup, leading to puffiness and an overall tired appearance. Additionally, health issues like allergies, sinus problems, or thyroid conditions may worsen these concerns. In short, a mix of internal and external influences shapes how tired eyes, dark circles, and hollows appear.
At MyAesthetics, we offer treatments to refresh tired eyes and address dark circles and under-eye hollows. For dark circles, medical-grade skincare with gentle retinols or pigment-targeting agents helps brighten and improve texture. Polynucleotides strengthen and thicken skin, reducing darkness and crepiness. To restore volume, hyaluronic acid-based tear trough fillers and midface fillers provide support around the eyes. We also offer medical microneedling and exosomes to boost firmness and texture, leaving the eye area revitalised and youthful.
Nose Hump Or Drooping Nose Tip
Feeling unhappy with the shape of your nose can impact both your appearance and confidence. Common issues include a noticeable bump, uneven bridge, drooping tip, asymmetry, or a very flat nose—concerns that can affect someone from a young age. Sometimes, even after surgery, individuals may remain dissatisfied with the results. In more serious cases, structural problems can also cause breathing difficulties. These challenges can lead to self-consciousness, influencing how someone feels socially and emotionally.
Variations in nose shape can arise from several causes, including genetics, injury, birth defects, or previous nasal surgeries. Genetic factors heavily influence the size and structure of the nose passed down through family traits. Injuries from accidents or sports can lead to fractures or changes in nasal shape. Some congenital conditions, like cleft lip and palate, also affect how the nose develops. Additionally, medical issues such as rhinophyma or nasal tumors may alter nasal appearance. Beyond cosmetic concerns, an irregularly shaped nose can sometimes cause breathing problems, snoring, or sleep apnoea. These functional and aesthetic challenges often impact confidence and daily life, leading many to consider corrective procedures like rhinoplasty.
If you're concerned about your nose shape but want to avoid surgery, non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a subtle, effective alternative. Also known as a liquid nose job, it uses carefully placed dermal fillers to smooth bumps, correct asymmetry, lift a drooping tip, or add definition to a flat bridge. This treatment enhances facial harmony by creating a straighter, balanced profile. Minimally invasive with little downtime and no scars, results last over a year and can be reversed since the fillers are dissolvable, making it a flexible option without permanent changes.
Nose To Mouth Lines
Nasolabial folds, often called nose-to-mouth lines, are the creases that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. As we age, these lines tend to deepen due to a natural loss of skin elasticity and collagen, along with the gradual descent of facial fat pads. This can result in a sagging or drooping appearance, which may make the face look tired or older. Because these folds can affect overall facial balance, they are a common area of concern for those seeking a more youthful and refreshed look.
Nose-to-mouth lines, or nasolabial folds, develop from a mix of natural ageing and external influences. For some people, naturally fuller cheeks can make these lines more noticeable from early on. Over time, the skin loses collagen and elastin, and facial fat pads begin to shift downward. Additionally, unwanted fat deposits near this area can grow, causing the folds to deepen and the skin around the mouth to sag. These changes are a normal part of ageing and contribute to wrinkles and creases forming. Repeated facial movements like smiling or squinting can also intensify these lines over the years. External factors such as sun damage, smoking, genetics, and lifestyle choices further affect the depth and visibility of nasolabial folds, shaping the overall ageing of the face.
At MyAesthetics, we offer effective treatments to reduce nose-to-mouth lines. Injectable fillers with hyaluronic acid or collagen-boosting ingredients add volume and smooth folds, restoring youthfulness. A comprehensive approach often includes fillers for the cheeks and upper face for optimal results. Additional treatments like polynucleotides, Profhilo, skin boosters, and medical-grade skincare strengthen skin, improve texture, and boost collagen. We also provide advanced therapies such as medical microneedling to enhance firmness and rejuvenation. Every plan starts with a detailed consultation tailored to your goals.
Lip Lines
Lip lines, often called perioral wrinkles or smoker’s lines, are fine vertical creases that form around the mouth. They develop over time due to natural ageing, repeated lip movements, and the gradual loss of collagen and elastin. These lines can reduce the smooth, youthful look of the lips and nearby skin, sometimes making the lips appear older or tired. They may also affect how lipstick applies and cause some people to feel self-conscious.
Lip lines typically begin to appear after the age of 30, influenced by several factors. The natural ageing process causes a decline in collagen and elastin, reducing the skin’s firmness and elasticity around the mouth. Repeated facial expressions—like puckering, smiling, and drinking through straws—gradually create these vertical lines. Environmental exposure to UV rays and pollution speeds up collagen breakdown, making lip lines more noticeable. Habits such as smoking also contribute, which is why these wrinkles are often called ‘smoker’s lines.’ Genetics can further influence when and how prominently lip lines develop, with some people more prone than others. In summary, lip lines result from a mix of natural ageing and external lifestyle factors.
At MyAesthetics, we offer treatments to reduce lip lines and refresh your lips. Dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid or collagen stimulators add volume and smooth fine lines. Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles. Polynucleotides promote collagen and tissue regeneration, improving texture. Microneedling stimulates collagen and skin renewal. Results are smoother, youthful lips with enhanced shape. A personalised consultation is essential, and combining treatments with medical-grade skincare is recommended for optimal outcomes.
Gummy Smile
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue—typically more than 3 to 4 millimeters—is visible when smiling. This can result from factors such as shorter teeth covered by extra gum tissue, an overly active upper lip that lifts too high, or a longer upper jaw that exposes more gums. Many people with a gummy smile feel self-conscious about the imbalance between their teeth and gums, which can affect their confidence. This perceived aesthetic concern may influence social interactions and make individuals less likely to smile freely, impacting overall self-esteem.
Showing too much gum when you smile can result from several factors. Genetics often influence the size and shape of your gums, teeth, and lips. Dental conditions like excessive gum tissue growth (gingival hyperplasia) or a shorter upper lip may also play a part. Additionally, structural differences such as vertical maxillary excess—where the upper jaw is longer than usual—can cause more gum to be visible whether smiling or at rest. Identifying the exact cause typically involves evaluation by a dental specialist or orthodontist to guide the best treatment approach. At MyAesthetics, our multidisciplinary team includes skilled dentists who perform advanced non-surgical aesthetic treatments, providing comprehensive assessments and personalised recommendations for your smile.
An overactive upper lip causing a gummy smile can be treated at MyAesthetics with a neuromodulator injection. Your clinician may recommend a lip flip or targeted gummy smile approach. By relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip, this treatment lowers the lip’s position, revealing less gum and creating a balanced smile. It’s quick, minimally invasive, with no downtime. Results appear in 1–2 weeks and last several months. For best results, it’s often combined with lip filler, with touch-ups every 3–4 months to maintain your refreshed smile.
Thin / Deflated / Shapeless Lips
Lips come in all shapes, sizes, proportions, and textures, largely influenced by genetics. Thin lips refer to lips that appear smaller, often in relation to other facial features. This can become more noticeable with age, as lips may lose hydration and definition due to natural changes in the surrounding structures. Whether the upper lip, lower lip, or both are affected varies from person to person, as does how someone feels about their lip appearance. Many people desire fuller, well-hydrated, and well-defined lips. At MyAesthetics, our expert clinicians work carefully to restore volume and shape, creating natural-looking results that enhance and balance your overall facial harmony.
Genetics play a key role in determining whether someone naturally has thin or less defined lips. For others, this change may occur gradually with age.
As lips lose volume and develop dryness or fine lines over time, it’s usually due to the natural ageing process. Like the rest of the skin, the tissues around the lips experience a decline in collagen, elastin, and fat, which provide structure and support. This loss of density can lead to reduced fullness and contribute to the formation of lines both on and around the lips. Additionally, collagen helps produce hyaluronic acid, a substance that keeps skin hydrated, so its decline often results in drier, less plump lips.
At MyAesthetics, our primary treatment for enhancing lips is lip fillers. These injections add volume, hydration, and definition, creating a fuller, more youthful look. We use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to sculpt the lips, improve texture, and define borders. Our clinic offers premium fillers tailored to your anatomy and goals. Skilled clinicians use both needles and cannulas to ensure comfort and precision.
Weak Chin
A weak or recessed chin lacks the forward projection that balances other facial features, often appearing smaller or set back in comparison. This can disrupt facial harmony, especially when viewed in profile, making the chin look less defined relative to the nose and lips. This imbalance can also cause the nose to seem more prominent and may contribute to a less sharp jawline or the appearance of a double chin. As a key facial landmark, the chin plays an important role in overall symmetry and aesthetics. When underdeveloped, it can affect how balanced the face looks and may impact a person’s confidence in their appearance.
A weak or recessed chin is often influenced primarily by genetic factors, with some people inheriting traits that cause underdevelopment of the lower jaw. Conditions such as retrognathia or microgenia involve insufficient forward projection of the chin. Environmental elements—like childhood habits such as prolonged thumb sucking, injury, or certain health issues—can also impact jaw growth. Hormonal changes during puberty may further affect the development of the jawline. Ultimately, a combination of inherited traits and external factors contributes to the appearance of a weak or receding chin, which can influence facial balance and overall aesthetics.
Chin and jawline fillers, usually hyaluronic acid-based, effectively reshape and enhance the lower face. At MyAesthetics, skilled practitioners use precise injections to boost chin projection and definition, creating a balanced profile. This minimally invasive treatment offers instant results with minimal downtime. By adding volume and structure, fillers improve prominence, correct asymmetry, sharpen the jawline, and can reduce a double chin. Results last 6–9 months, often over a year, providing a convenient, non-surgical way to boost confidence.
Jowls
Jowls are the sagging or drooping skin that forms along the jawline, commonly caused by ageing, genetic factors, and reduced skin elasticity. They appear as loose folds or pockets of fat below the jaw, giving the face a heavier, drooping, or downturned look. Jowls can affect the overall shape and definition of the face, often making it appear tired or aged. Their presence can reduce facial symmetry and firmness, impacting how balanced and youthful the face looks and influencing self-confidence.
Jowls primarily develop due to natural changes in the skin, muscles, fat, and supporting structures of the face as we age. Over time, the skin loses collagen and elasticity, causing it to sag and become lax. Gravity accelerates this process by pulling down on weakened tissues. Additionally, the decline in strength of facial muscles and ligaments allows fat pads in the lower face to descend. Genetics also influence jowl formation, with some people more prone due to thinner skin, heavier fat deposits, or weaker facial frameworks such as a less prominent chin or cheekbones. Lifestyle habits like sun exposure, smoking, and neglecting skincare can speed up skin ageing, leading to earlier or more noticeable jowls. Ultimately, both internal and external factors work together in the development of jowls.
At MyAesthetics, we use a comprehensive full-face approach to treat jowls, combining volume restoration with chin and jawline fillers for structural support and enhanced contours. Our expert clinicians precisely place fillers to restore volume, create subtle lifting, and smooth the chin-to-jawline transition, reducing jowl visibility. Adding chin projection balances the lower face. This minimally invasive procedure delivers immediate results with little downtime and often involves multiple sessions for natural, youthful outcomes. We recommend pairing treatments with advanced medical-grade skincare to tighten tissue and boost collagen. Your personalised plan will be detailed in consultation.
Sagging Face
A sagging face typically refers to loose or lax skin around the eyes, midface, and lower face. This can give the appearance of tiredness or fatigue as the skin, which was once firm and supported by underlying structures, begins to lose volume and elasticity. As the skin weakens, it can start to droop toward the jawline and neck, altering the natural contours and definition of the face. This sagging is often accompanied by wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of facial volume, all contributing to an aged appearance.
The aging process is the main factor behind the development of a sagging face. As we get older, various changes take place in the skin and underlying tissues that gradually become more noticeable. Starting from the mid-twenties, collagen production declines by up to 1.5% each year, with this rate increasing up to sixfold during menopause in women. This results in skin that looks duller, develops more lines and wrinkles, has enlarged pores, pigmentation issues, and loses elasticity. Over time, the fat that supports the face in areas like the temples and cheeks diminishes and shifts downward, causing common folds and shadows such as tear troughs, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Meanwhile, certain fat deposits that worsen sagging, like eye bags, jowls, and areas under the chin, may increase in size. These changes vary based on factors like body mass index and genetics, but regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity, almost everyone will experience some degree of facial sagging over time.
Since facial sagging has multiple causes, MyAesthetics takes a personalised approach, combining treatments for natural, noticeable results. Our clinicians restore volume in areas like temples, tear troughs, midface, and cheeks. We use dermal fillers to enhance the jawline, smooth lower face shadows, and soften nasolabial folds. Anti-wrinkle injections refresh the upper face. Treatments like Profhilo, polynucleotides, and skin smoothing boosters improve skin quality and prolong results.
Over-filled / Migrated Filler
Overuse or movement of filler can cause an unnatural look, often showing as lumps, bumps, or excessive puffiness in the treated areas. This can disrupt the natural lines of the face, leading to unevenness or imbalance. When filler shifts from its intended spot, it may misalign facial features, further impacting harmony. Such issues can result in dissatisfaction with the appearance. Correcting these problems usually requires a skilled professional to carefully dissolve the misplaced filler before restoring a more balanced and natural look.
An over-filled outcome or filler migration happens when too much dermal filler is injected into an area, often due to injector error or overcorrection. Sometimes the filler may be too dense for the treatment site or placed too superficially or deeply, resulting in an unnatural, uneven look. Filler migration occurs when the product shifts from its original location, which can be caused by gravity, muscle movement, excessive volume, or improper injection technique. Areas with high muscle activity tend to be more prone to this, and some filler brands may carry a higher risk. Migration usually develops gradually after treatment, so thorough planning is essential to reduce the chance of this happening. Pressure, rubbing, or exercising too soon after injection can also encourage filler to move. It’s important to note that the term “migrated filler” is often misused and sometimes simply describes an overfilled appearance. True migration typically involves only a slight movement within the natural compartments of the face, not large shifts.
Filler dissolve treatments use the enzyme hyaluronidase to break down hyaluronic acid-based fillers, correcting issues like overfilling or migration. It works quickly, dissolving filler within hours to days for fast results. Temporary swelling and redness may occur. Patients can usually have their original filler redone after 5 to 10 days, depending on individual factors. This safe, efficient method restores natural facial shape and balance when needed.
Marionette Lines / Downturned Mouth
Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles running from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin, while a downturned mouth describes the drooping of the mouth corners, often creating a sad or aged look. These features can contribute to a fatigued or unhappy appearance, affecting overall facial harmony. They may make someone appear older or convey unintended emotions, which can impact confidence and social engagement. At MyAesthetics, we offer treatments designed to soften these lines and refresh your expression, helping you achieve a more youthful, vibrant look.
Marionette lines and a downturned mouth largely result from the natural ageing of skin, facial muscles, and underlying fat. As collagen and elastin diminish, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, leading to sagging and the gradual formation of these lines. Over time, repeated facial expressions and the downward movement of facial fat pads contribute further to their development. The weakening of muscles and ligaments around the mouth also allows gravity to pull the corners downward, causing the characteristic drooping. Factors like genetics, sun damage, smoking, and lifestyle choices can accelerate these changes, making marionette lines and a downturned mouth appear sooner or become more pronounced.
Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections provide effective options for improving marionette lines and a downturned mouth. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers replenish lost volume and smooth marionette lines, while fillers in the cheeks lift and support mouth corners to reduce downward pull. At MyAesthetics, our neuromodulator treatments relax muscles pulling down the mouth corners, enhancing the lift. Combining these treatments delivers natural, refreshed results. We also recommend pairing them with medical-grade skincare and collagen-boosting therapies like Profhilo and facials to tighten skin and improve texture.
Face Shape Or Unbalanced Profile
Your natural face shape and profile are primarily determined by your unique genetic makeup. However, other factors like your body mass index (BMI) or habits such as teeth grinding can influence the appearance of your lower face, sometimes making it look broader. Previous cosmetic treatments, including filler injections, can also affect your facial contours. Concerns often arise when your natural features don’t align with your aesthetic goals, with common issues including a weak jawline, receding chin, flat cheeks, uneven nose shape, or thin lips.
These concerns affect both men and women, and the way we approach treatment is tailored specifically to your individual anatomy and desired outcomes.
Your genetics are the main factor shaping your natural face and profile. It’s common for facial features to run in families, and as you get older, you may notice traits like jowls or sunken cheeks becoming more pronounced—traits you might recognize from your parents.
Additionally, habits like teeth clenching or grinding can cause the muscles in your lower face to enlarge, making the jawline look wider or giving the appearance of fuller cheeks. Since your teeth are naturally only meant to touch for about 17 minutes a day, excessive use of these muscles leads to their growth, known as hypertrophy. As we age, fat pads in the upper face tend to shrink and drop, which can make the lower face seem heavier. At the same time, fat pads in areas like the jowls, beneath the chin, and above the nasolabial folds may increase, contributing further to a heavier lower face appearance.
At MyAesthetics, we enhance your facial shape and profile through personalised Profile Balancing and comprehensive volume restoration for full-face rejuvenation. Each plan is tailored to your unique structure using a customised blend of treatments. We recommend the best combination based on your individual concerns.
Facial Volume Loss – Cheeks / Temples
Volume loss in the cheeks and temples often shows up as hollowed, flattened, or sunken areas, typically caused by natural ageing changes in fat and bone beneath the skin. This loss can lead to a tired, gaunt look, making wrinkles and asymmetry more noticeable. Reduced fullness in these areas diminishes the youthful curves of the face, resulting in an older or less balanced appearance. Many people feel self-conscious about these changes, which can affect their confidence and overall sense of well-being.
Loss of volume in the cheeks and temples happens due to several factors. The ageing process plays a major role, as collagen and elastin production slows down, causing the skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. Over time, the facial fat pads shrink and shift downward, leading to hollowed and flattened areas in these regions. Bone loss in areas like the jaw, cheekbones, and midface also contributes to the reduction in volume. External factors such as sun damage, smoking, and poor diet can speed up these changes. Additionally, genetics and some medical conditions may affect how quickly and severely volume loss occurs.
We use cheek, mid-face, and temple fillers to safely restore lost facial volume and refresh your appearance. Our experts carefully inject hyaluronic acid-based fillers to replenish volume and recreate youthful contours, resulting in a fuller, lifted, and sculpted look. This reduces hollowness and enhances balance while smoothing wrinkles around the cheeks and temples. Results are immediate and last 6 to 9 months, depending on filler type and individual factors.
Wide Jaw / Chubby Cheeks
A wide jaw or a rounded lower face with fuller cheeks can noticeably affect facial aesthetics. This feature often creates a square or angular jawline, which may be seen as too strong or masculine, or in some cases, give the impression of chubby cheeks and a rounder face. Such proportions can dominate the overall facial structure, leading to imbalance and disrupting harmony between features. People with a broader jaw or fuller cheeks may feel self-conscious about their appearance, impacting their confidence and how attractive they feel.
A wide jaw or the appearance of a wide lower face, can stem from various factors. Genetics play a significant role, with some individuals inheriting wider jawbones, stronger jaw muscles or more prominent fat pads in the face. Bruxism, or teeth grinding/ clenching, can lead to muscle hypertrophy (growth) in the masseter muscles, causing the jawline to appear wider over time. Additionally, habitual behaviours such as chewing gum excessively or consuming tough foods can strengthen the jaw muscles over time, causing them to increase in mass, resulting in a wider jaw appearance. Those under the age of 25 generally also have more fat in their face which reduces naturally over time with age. Overall, a combination of genetic predisposition, and teeth grinding or clenching can contribute to the development of a wide jaw.
At MyAesthetics, we offer effective solutions for a wide jaw by combining dermal fillers and masseter muscle reduction treatments. Hyaluronic acid fillers enhance the cheekbones and chin, adding volume to create a more tapered, sculpted appearance and rebalance facial contours. Masseter muscle reduction uses neuromodulators—like those in anti-wrinkle treatments—to relax the masseter muscles, reducing bulk and narrowing the jawline over time. This combined approach results in a slimmer, more defined jaw and improved facial harmony. We prioritise a thorough consultation to create a personalised plan tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. Often, customised combinations deliver the best results.
