Jawline Contoring

Jawline filler is a minimally invasive treatment that powerfully defines and contours the jawline. It involves strategically placing a smooth gel filler in the lower jawline area to add structure and definition. The filler works by adding to the existing bone framework in order to create a stronger, more defined jaw line. It also works to correct natural proportions, as well as providing a more distinct “V” shape to the face. This is a quick and relatively painless procedure, with minimal downtime, ideal for those wanting to address sagging jowls or enhance facial harmony. Overall, jawline filler can provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance with natural-looking results.

The number of jawline filler sessions someone would need would depend on their individual anatomy, goals, and the type of filler used. Generally speaking, hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can last anywhere from one to two years. Depending on the patient's age, lifestyle, and skin type, the longevity of the product could be shorter or longer. When treating the jawline, it is advisable to start with a conservative amount of product, as the desired outcome can be achieved by adding product incrementally during future sessions rather than applying too much in one go. Ultimately, most people need one to three sessions of jawline filler at roughly 6-month intervals to achieve their desired results.

After having jawline filler, you can expect some degree of redness and swelling, as with any type of facial injection. This will typically subside in a few days and the treated area may look and feel a bit tender. Results from jawline filler will typically appear within two to three weeks after the procedure and can last up to two years. It is important to note that results may vary from patient to patient, depending on factors such as age and type of filler used. To maintain desired results, additional jawline filler sessions may be needed. If you follow the aftercare instructions provided by your provider, you can help ensure the best results and prolong the effects of your treatment.
