As we age, we lose bone density and structure from the jawline. As a result of this the skin starts to fall forwards and down resulting in jowls and loss of definition in the jaw line.

Dermal Filler is used to reinstate the structural support by augmenting and creating the contours of the jaw line providing a more lifted and sharper appearance.

Jaw line filler is also popular in men to give more definition to their lower face.

The jawline is the area that includes the lower jaw corner underneath the ear and extends from this area to the tip of the chin.

The jawline needs to be assessed as a whole to ensure a harmonious result. Your clinician will discuss this with you in consultation as you may require filler to also dip into your chin and pre jowl area.

We shape the angle of the jawline using a cannula and/or needle technique with dense filler.

The areas between the chin tip and the jaw corners can be shaped with filler depending on demand and need.

In some cases yes definitely. By adding filler into the angle of the jaw line you are filling the space and creating an anchoring structure to support the surround skin.

You are then able to depending on suitability inject filler around the jowl to hide the appearance. By injecting filler into the chin you are also bringing it forward creating a longer jawline and in turn this also helps in disguising the jowl area.

Dosage of filler varies between patients. On average for a whole jaw line you may start with 3-4 mls. However due the size of this area you may require more. Multiple sessions also may be required.

The filler used for the jaw line needs to be thick and mimic bone to get the most realistic results. The preferred fillers include Juverderm Volux or Voluma, Restylane Lyft or Defyne, Teoxane RHA 4 or Chroma Volume +

Consultation with your treating clinician is essential to assess suitability. Some patients who lack skin laxity in the area may be more suitable for biostimulators such as Sculptra or a bioremodeller such as Profhilo before doing any filler work.

You must be over 18.

In some cases where the patient has excess fat under their chin, Vaser liposuction is recommended to remove the bulk and shape the jawline. After the patient has healed you may get dermal filler to the area to increase the contour for an elevated result.

The duration of this process depends on the amount of filler to be applied. Usually, it takes about 30-45 minutes.

With our brands of filler such as Juverderm, Restylane, Teoxane and Chroma filler they have a lasting effect of 12 – 18 months.
