The Contour Once™ Assessment?

The facial proportions are measured in your first session with Dr. Somji. Medical photographs are taken to identify asymmetries and allow Dr. Somji and his team to make a plan to enhance your aesthetic appearance. We are firmly of the belief to make yourself a better version of yourself and Contour Once allows you to be in complete control over the results you wish to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas can be contoured?

As we age we lose volume from specific areas.

Cheeks:

Cheeks are the most popular area to contour at our clinic. Cheeks lift and suspend the lower face and contouring of the cheeks is a highly desirable quality. With contour once you can add volume to define and/or have the impression of higher cheek bones but you can also remove volume from underneath the cheek to give a more extreme contour to the face. The results can be as subtle or as dramatic as you wish. The skin can also be tightened over the top to provide a lasting contour and smooth the skin. There is no other clinic worldwide that offers this specific combination of procedures with both surgical and non surgical options.

Forehead

A pronounced brow can often lead to drooping of the eyelids and ineffectiveness of Botox treatments. This can either be congenital ‘genetic’ or as a result of ageing. Addition of volume to this area can help lift the brow as well as reduce the reliance on botox for a smooth forehead.

Jawline:

A relatively new concept within the field of facial plastic surgery. Dr. Somji was one of the first to perform jawline contouring non surgically. Volume can be added to the jawline to mask jowling and loss skin. I can also make the jawline much sharper in the side profile view. Volume can also be removed either surgically or non surgically from underneath the chin and jawline to enhance the contour and longevity of the treatment. Loose skin is also tightened to further define the jawline.

Temples:

hollowing of temples can once again be ‘genetic’ and results in lowering of the
eyelid and a less youthful shape. Adding volume allows more contour and lift of the brow and a more front on appearance.

Nose:

We can contour the nose for a slimmer more defined appearance. This can be achieved through adding volume to the bridge of the nose and also lifting the nasal tip if required.

Chin:

Contouring the chin is paramount in some instances for adequate facial proportion. It is the end point of the face and further defines the jawline. Volume is added to millimetre perfection in this area in a 3dimensional fashion. Commonly volume from underneath the chin is removed in conjunction with this treatment either non surgically or surgically.

Lips:

Lips are contoured in a specific fashion. We take into consideration the proportions of the whole face to avoid the dreaded ‘trout pout’ and ‘duck lip’ result. The vermillion border is defined in a specific fashion to avoid a puffy upper lip. All contours of the lip are extremely crisp and volume is added subtly over a few sessions. Rarely do we need to remove fat from this area.

Eyes:

Loose Eyelid skin and the shape of the brows can be contoured with a series of specific non surgical skin tightening procedures. Under eye hollows can be contoured to give more of an almond eye appearance by adding volume in this area. Puffiness can also be reduced either surgically or non surgically to give a smooth contour to the lower lid area.

How do we add volume?

  1. Dermal filler injection: Using Dr. Somji’s trademarked technique he is able to specifically place hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to contour the face to perfection. This is performed through his sculpting cannula technique. Hyaluronic acid dermal filler contouring lasts 9-12 months. It is not permanent and fully reversible.
    DOWNTIME: 24-48 hours.
  2. Longer lasting filler injection: These are specific fillers which can be injected in a similar fashion to last for 1-4 years depending on patient preference. They are not immediately reversible but are not permanent fillers and break down naturally over time. We recommend this is patients wishing to have a longer lasting result.
    DOWNTIME: 24-48 hours
  3. Fat fillers (Lipofilling): For those patients wishing to have a longer lasting natural option fat can be removed in a stitch free atraumatic fashion in less than 30 minutes. Dr. Somji uses specific methods to purify your fat for injection into the face. Fat can last for more than 3 years to indefinitely in some individuals. Fat also contains a number of stem cells which can be injected at the same time for increased skin quality during the procedure also.
    DOWNTIME: 72 HOURS
  4. Definition with threads: Dr. Somji has trained in South Korea to master the art of thread lifting with PDO and PLLA threads (see Link). Threads can be placed in the nose to add a crisp definition to the nose without making the nose look larger as well lifting the nasal tip. Dr. Somji was also the first surgeon to add threads into the vermillion border in the lip to enhance the Cupid’s bow as well as provide a natural contour to the lip.
    DOWNTIME – 48-72HOURS.

How do we remove volume?

  1. Non surgical liposuction: This can be achieved through using the only FDA approved machine for facial fat reduction, the Accent Prime. This involves using patented selective fat resonance technology to specifically destroy fat in certain areas. 2-8 sessions are required depending upon the amount of fat to be removed. Fat removal is permanent when using this method. The skin is then tightened immediately after using hot and cold radiofrequency.
    DOWNTIME: 0 DAYS.
  2. Surgical liposuction of the face: Dr. Somji is one of the few surgeons in the world to perform key hole facelifts. This procedure can be adapted into performing only facial liposuction without the need for stitches or a visible scar. Facial fat can be removed from the lower cheek area and from underneath the chin in a matter of an hour under local anaesthetic. The skin can also be tightened up to 40% at the same time using surgical radio frequency (FaceTite technology), which gives long lasting skin tightening for up to 5 years.
    DOWNTIME: 5-7 DAYS

I am halfway through my treatment programme but so far very happy with the results and service. I have made a big financial commitment but after initial consultations, feel well informed and believe my expectations have been managed appropriately. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and helpful and I feel comfortable and well looked after when I'm there. Ellie is very knowledgeable and thorough. Would highly recommend.

The only place I trust with my face. I’m quite particular and have a medical background, so I don’t say that lightly. Everything is done properly, with care and precision, never rushed. Ellie is incredibly thorough and consistent, and Olaya has genuinely helped me get my confidence and my skin back. Professional, honest, and results-driven. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been seeing Dr Somji regularly and exclusively for 10 years (usually every 3/5 months) and have always trusted his expertise I can honestly say he is the best. His clinic team also are fantastic. Last week I had a fire and ice facial with Mariana, it left me glowing and I also had a nice skin care lesson from Mariana, she was very knowledgable and it is certainly a treatment I would book again. Thank you to all the team

Great experience with Dr Munirs guidance, Dr Bhavik Shahs expertise and Claudia who performed the treatment for Dye IPL and Ipixel. The journey was carefully thought out and was a lot less painful than I thought. Thank you all at Dr Medispa!

Fantastic :-) I visited Dr Somji's mid 2025, and through a robust, transparent and consultative process, received treatment for my alopecia. After approximately 5 months from my first round of treatment, there are visible signs of my hair growing back A big shout out to Amz Dhanjal at the front desk for co-ordinating (and buying me a cup of tea from Gails)

I am very impressed with this Clinic. I am so happy with my Lip filler treatments from the very talented and artistic injector Dr Somji, who provided me with NATURAL results! He is very thorough, and won’t do any treatments he doesn’t think are necessary, he actually persuaded me to have less! During the consultation I was educated on all the risks, pros and cons, and measured my facial proportions to work out exactly what was best to suit my face naturally. His theory is ‘less is more’ and I completely agree! I went in thinking I needed jawline filler, lip filler, cheek filler and Botox which is what I’ve been told by other places, being ‘sold too’, in fact all I needed was a touch of lip and chin filler to balance my symmetry and this was absolutely perfect! He’s a master at the Cannula method, I felt minimal discomfort, had 0 bruising because the tip is blunt and my anxiety of injectables is now much less as I now know this is the safest method. I couldn’t recommend Dr Somji any more, professional, patient, understanding, safe and a master Injector! The Drs assistant Elli was very sweet too making sure I felt comfortable through out, embarrassingly held my hand to calm my nerves which I might add really helped! 5 stars!!!!
