Understanding the Ogee Curve: The secret to Natural Facial contours
When we think about facial ageing, we often focus on lines, wrinkles or volume loss, But one of the more important and ovelrooked features of a face is something called the ogee curve.
This elegant S-shaped contour of the cheek plays a key role in how light reflects across the face, contributing to a naturally lifted and balanced face.
The ogee curve refers to the double S-shaped contour seen when viewing the face from an angle.
The S surve creates a soft, elegant transition between the cheek, mid face and lower face.
What happens to the Ogee curve as we age?
Over time, several changes occur.
Volume loss in the mid face.
Descent of fat pads
changes in bone structure
skin laxity
The result?
Flattening of the cheek contour
Loss of the soft S shape
A heavier more tired appearance
How we can use Aesthetic Medicine
Modern aesthetic medicine is not about ‘‘adding volume’’ but restoring structure and proportion.
In this way, we can provide natural results, subtle lift, improve facial harmony and avoid overfilled and artificial appearing faces.
