Do you want to harmonize your facial profile?

Performed by experienced plastic surgeons, this procedure offers natural and lasting results at competitive prices.
What is a profileplasty?
Profileplasty is a plastic surgery operation aimed at modifying the facial profile to restore facial harmony. It can be performed through:
- Surgical procedures: rhinoplasty (nose), genioplasty (chin), cheekbone surgery, lipostructure
- Medical procedures: hyaluronic acid injections (Jawline Contouring)
The goal is to create a harmonious balance between the different anatomical structures of the face for an aesthetic and balanced profile.
Who can benefit from a profileplasty?
Profileplasty is suitable for people with a prominent or humped nose. It corrects a receding or overly prominent chin. It treats poorly defined or asymmetrical cheekbones. It corrects imbalance between different parts of the face. It responds to the desire for profile harmonization. The request is often motivated by the shape of the nose, but a global approach gives a more harmonious result.
How is a surgical profileplasty performed?
Surgical profileplasty is performed under general anesthesia. It includes several stages depending on the areas to be treated. Rhinoplasty corrects the shape of the nose. Genioplasty advances or recedes the chin by osteotomy. Cheekbone surgery uses implants or lipostructure. Facial lipostructure injects autologous fat. Duration varies from 2 to 5 hours depending on the case. Hospitalization is 1 to 3 days.
What is medical profileplasty?
Medical profileplasty is a non-surgical alternative. It uses hyaluronic acid injections to reshape the face. Jawline Contouring allows several aesthetic corrections. It redesigns the chin by projecting it forward. It refines the jawline and lifts the cheekbones. It corrects mild profile asymmetries. Results are temporary and last 12 to 18 months. This technique does not correct bone or cartilage excesses.
What are the advantages of profileplasty?
Profileplasty offers many advantages. It improves facial appearance for more aesthetics and harmony. It has a positive impact on confidence and self-esteem. Its global approach allows a harmonious result. Medical profileplasty offers a non-surgical alternative without scars. Functional improvement is possible for breathing and chewing.
What are the risks and complications?
Like any surgical operation, profileplasty can involve risks. Common risks include bleeding, bruising and swelling. Pain and infections are also possible. Possible complications include facial asymmetry and loss of sensation. Abnormal scarring or tissue necrosis may occur. Patient dissatisfaction is possible. Medical profileplasty is less invasive and carries fewer risks. It may cause temporary bruising, swelling and redness.
What to expect during the recovery period?
Recovery time after profileplasty depends on the technique used. After surgical profileplasty, hospitalization lasts 1 to 3 days. A splint is worn on the nose for 7 to 10 days. Nasal packing is placed in the nostrils for 2 days. Bruising and swelling persist for 2 to 3 weeks. Resumption of normal activities is possible in 2 to 3 weeks. Intense sports require 4 to 6 weeks. After medical profileplasty, there is no hospitalization. Recovery is quick in 2 to 5 days. Bruising, swelling and redness are temporary.

Frequently Asked Questions about Profileplasty in Tunisia
1What is the difference between a profileplasty and a rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that focuses solely on correcting the shape of the nose. Profileplasty is a more global approach that aims to harmonize the entire facial profile by combining several procedures (rhinoplasty, genioplasty, cheekbone lipostructure, etc.) to create a harmonious balance between the nose, chin, cheekbones and lips.
2Can profileplasty be performed without surgery?
Yes, there is a medical profileplasty (or non-surgical) that uses hyaluronic acid injections to reshape facial contours. This technique, called Jawline Contouring, allows reshaping of the chin, cheekbones and jawline without incisions or scars. Results are temporary (12 to 18 months) and do not correct bone or cartilage excesses.
3How long does a surgical profileplasty procedure take?
The duration of a surgical profileplasty varies depending on the techniques used and the areas to be treated. Rhinoplasty with genioplasty generally lasts between 2 and 4 hours. A complete profileplasty (nose, chin, cheekbones) can take 3 to 5 hours. Hospitalization is 1 to 3 days depending on the extent of the procedure.
4What types of anesthesia are used for a profileplasty?
Surgical profileplasty is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and allow the surgeon to work with precision. Medical profileplasty (injections) is performed under local anesthesia, with or without light sedation depending on the patient's sensitivity and the extent of the areas to be treated.
5When can the final results of a profileplasty be seen?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure, but masked by post-operative swelling. The evolution of results occurs in several stages: 1 to 2 weeks (disappearance of major swelling), 3 to 6 weeks (significant result), 6 to 12 months (final result for surgical techniques, after tissue stabilization and complete resolution of swelling).
6Does surgical profileplasty leave visible scars?
Profileplasty scars are discreet and placed in natural facial areas. For rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nostrils (endonasal approach) or in the columellar fold (external approach). For genioplasty, the incision is made inside the mouth (buccal approach), leaving no visible scar on the chin. Scars are generally barely visible after a few months.
7Can profileplasty improve functional problems (breathing, chewing)?
Yes, in some cases. Rhinoplasty can correct a deviated nasal septum (septoplasty) and improve breathing. Genioplasty or jaw surgery can improve dental occlusion and chewing. Profileplasty therefore has both aesthetic and functional benefits, depending on the initial anomalies.
