Jaw contouring

Jaw contouring with fillers is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that enhances and defines the jawline by using dermal fillers. It can improve the shape and symmetry of the jaw, create a more youthful appearance, and address issues like a weak jawline or jowls.

During the procedure, a qualified specialist injects hyaluronic acid fillers along the jawline to add volume, sculpt the area, and create a more defined and balanced appearance. The treatment usually takes about 30-45 minutes.

A numbing cream is usually applied before the injections to minimize discomfort. Most patients report only a slight pinch or pressure during the procedure.

The results generally last between 9 and 18 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days. Rarely, more serious complications can occur, so it’s important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner.

Avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, for at least a week before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising. Inform your specialist of any medical conditions or allergies.

You can return to your normal activities immediately, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours. You might experience some disconford, swelling and redness, which should subside within a few days.

Good candidates are individuals who are looking to enhance their jawline without undergoing surgery. Those with realistic expectations and in good overall health are ideal candidates for this procedure.

Jaw contouring with fillers is suitable for moderate enhancements and improvements. It is not a replacement for surgical jawline procedures, which may be necessary for more significant structural changes.

Look for a qualified and experienced practitioner, preferably a board-certified surgeon.
