Facial sculpting
Cheeks, chin, jawline, temples and under-eyes. Where the face has lost structure rather than volume, the answer is usually support in one place so that another can settle — which is why this is planned across the whole face, not feature by feature.
From tired to refreshed
Faces do not age by deflating evenly. The mid-face loses support first, the cheek slides forward and down, and what shows up is a shadow under the eye and a fold beside the nose. Treating that fold directly is the obvious move and often the wrong one — put the support back where it went missing and the fold softens on its own.
This is the part of the work that takes an assessment rather than a menu. At consultation Leah looks at your face at rest and in movement, and tells you which areas would actually change the picture — including the ones to leave alone.
Areas treated
- Cheeks. Restoring the support that holds the mid-face up.
- Chin. Balance in profile, and length where a chin sits short.
- Jawline. Definition along the border, particularly where it has softened.
- Temples. Hollowing at the sides, which reads as tiredness more than age.
- Tear troughs. Under-eye shadow — assessed carefully, as not every under-eye suits filler.
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Often treated indirectly, from the cheek.
- Nose. Non-surgical reshaping and tip lift, for profile irregularities.
- Earlobes. Lobes that have thinned and no longer hold an earring well.

Sculpting and contouring
Anti-wrinkle treatment is also available and is priced by area (€200 for one area, €250 for two, €300 for three). It is discussed at consultation rather than described here.
Questions
I want my nasolabial folds gone. Why would you treat my cheeks?
Because that is usually where the fold is coming from. Filling the fold itself, without addressing the loss of support above it, is what produces the heavy, overfilled look people are trying to avoid. Sometimes the fold is treated directly — but only after looking at what is holding the cheek up.
Is under-eye filler safe?
The tear trough is one of the more technically demanding areas, and it does not suit everyone — skin quality, the shape of the orbital bone and any fluid retention all affect whether filler is the right answer there. If it is not suitable for you, you will be told, and there are other treatments for the same complaint.
How is non-surgical nose reshaping different from surgery?
It adds, it does not remove. Filler can smooth a bump in profile, lift a drooping tip and straighten an apparent deviation, but it cannot make a nose smaller. It is temporary, and it requires an assessment beforehand.
How much will I need?
That is exactly what the consultation is for. Quoting a volume before looking at a face is guesswork. What you will leave the consultation with is a plan, an order of priority and a price.
Book a consultation, not a treatment
A €50 consultation is thirty minutes to look at your face, talk through what you actually want and hear what is realistic. If you go ahead with treatment within two weeks, the €50 comes off the price.
