The 7-Point Shape™: Non-Surgical Facial Contouring Explained

The 7-point Shape™ for women is a non-surgical approach utilizing dermal fillers to lift and enhance facial features affected by the aging process. Created by the renowned plastic surgeon Mauricio De Maio, this technique employs specific injection points, referred to as MD codes, to restore volume and define the cheeks, chin, and jawline. In the accompanying photo, the MD codes are indicated as Ck1 and Ck2 for the cheekbones and lateral cheeks, C1 and C2 for the chin, and Jw1, Jw4, and Jw5 for the jawline.

The amount of filler needed depends on the individual, but the minimum required for noticeable results includes:

  • Ck1 – 0.3ml
  • Ck4 – 0.5ml
  • Jw1 – 0.5ml
  • Jw4 – 0.5ml
  • Jw5 – 0.5ml

This technique lifts, volumizes, and contours the face, helping to restore the inverted triangle shape often associated with a youthful appearance.
