Jawline Contouring

The Jawline Filler treatment can help both men and women to create a contoured jawline that frames the face to obtain a more masculine or feminine jawline, respectively.

While some people are born with a jawline they are not happy with, in most cases, the jawline appearance is affected by the ageing process, mainly in two ways.

1. As the skin loses elasticity and begins to sag, the jawline starts to appear soft and lacking definition. The corners of the mouth also begin to droop, causing ‘marionette lines’ – wrinkles that extend into the jawline – and creating jowls.
2. A loss of fat tissue often causes two divots to form along the jawline, known as the pre-jowl sulcus, which further accentuates the appearance of jowls.

In these cases, dermal fillers are used to fill in the lines, add volume where it has been lost, create a lifting effect, and camouflage the look of jowls with strategically placed filler. This procedure may also be combined with a skin tightening treatment.

When it comes to using jawline fillers to correct the signs of ageing, dermal fillers are useful to also help restore collagen and elastin, two substances responsible for maintaining a youthful volume and the skin’s ability to bounce back. This will result in the jawline area appearing both tighter and lifted.
