JAW AUGMENTATION
The jaw plays a critical role in achieving facial balance, both from the front and side profiles. Ideally, a well-proportioned jawline is narrower than the cheeks from the front, and shows enough definition from the side to create a snatched, harmonious appearance. Jaw filler offers significant benefits, but it is most effective for individuals whose facial anatomy and goals align with this treatment.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
1
Rejuvenation
As we age, the natural loss of bone density, fat pads, and muscle volume in the jawline can lead to sagging tissues and the formation of jowls. By strategically adding dermal filler, we can restore the jawline's shape, redefine its structure, and provide support, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
2
Enhancing Shape
A soft yet pronounced jawline is a hallmark of feminine beauty and facial balance. For those lacking definition in this area, small, precisely placed amounts of filler can sculpt a more contoured and refined jawline. This approach works particularly well for individuals with a slimmer lower face. For those with a wider or more square jaw, masseter Botox is often recommended beforehand to slim the lower face and enhance the effectiveness and overall result of jawline filler.
3
Enhancing Proportions
A recessed mandible (lower jawbone) can throw off the balance of the side profile, often making features like the nose appear more prominent than they are. By adding dermal filler to the jawline and chin, we can increase projection and definition in the lower face, restoring harmony to the profile and enhancing overall facial proportions.
4
Correcting Asymmetry
Asymmetry in the lower face can be caused by factors such as genetics or habitual behaviors like consistently chewing on one side. Once supporting treatments like masseter Botox or chin filler have been considered, if needed, dermal filler can then be used to add volume and enhance symmetry along the jawline from the front profile, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
LONGEVITY
Like many facial filler treatments, jawline filler is typically a gradual process that may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired shape and volume. Once the ideal result is reached, the effects can last up to 2 years or even longer, depending on the product used and how your body metabolizes the filler.
DOWNTIME
Jawline filler typically involves minimal downtime. It’s performed using a combination of cannulas and needles, which helps reduce the risk of bruising and swelling. Some minor bruising may occur and last up to 7 days, while mild swelling can persist for 1–2 weeks. The treated area may feel tender for a few days, and the filler takes up to 6 weeks to fully integrate and soften, revealing the final, natural-looking result.
PAIN
Jawline filler is typically rated 1/10 in terms of pain. While you might feel a few sharp scratches at the start, the majority of the treatment is barely noticeable. Most clients describe the sensation as minimal, especially with numbing cream and high-quality techniques, making it one of the most comfortable treatments available.
