Everything you need to know
A sculpted jawline frames and highlights your facial features. This can give a more desirable look to your face. Jawline treatments are one of the most popular procedures. And it’s not just women, men are also improving their jawlines for a stronger, sharper appearance. Jawline contouring will usually involve chin enhancement as well. Here are some reasons people come to us for jawline treatments.

Benefits of jawline defining treatments
-
Reduce jowls with jaw treatment
As we age, we lose a lot a of bony volume from the angle of the jaw. The masseter muscle can also shrink. This means the skin loses its support frame and can sag down, forming jowls. With jaw treatments, we can replace the lost volume and give the skin back its support. If we use a collagen stimulating product, it will also tighten and firm the loose skin, giving a long-lasting rejuvenation to the lower face.

Slim the face with a defined jawline
A defined, crisp jawline forms a line from the angle of the jaw to the chin. This gives the impression of a leaner, slimmer lower face. It also creates a clear separation between the face and neck, creating a vital and fitter appearance.

Jawline treatments to feminise the face
A classic feminine face has a narrow jaw width compared to the cheeks. The jawline will be a continuous, elegant curve to the chin. The chin itself is narrow, less than the width of the nose (or for ideal proportions, the width between the eyes). To make a face more feminine, we often start by accentuating the cheeks. Next, we may slim the jaw muscles if they are bulky and you want a more heart shaped face. Just remember that a more square shaped face can be very attractive, many models have this face shape with a prominent jaw and it looks amazing. After this, we move to the chin. We use chin treatments to shape a chin to match the face shape and nose. By gently projecting or lengthening the chin we can balance the side profile, create a heart shaped face and even make a nose appear smaller. Finally, we contour the angle of the jaw. Using jaw enhancement, we highlight the angle of the jaw to complete the procedure.

Jawline enhancements to men - masculinise the face
The prominent chin and jaw are what gives a strong, confident look to the male face. Jaw enhancement for men is becoming increasingly common. The classic masculine face has a wide chin and jaw. The width of the jaw (bigonial width) is almost as wide as the cheeks. Some men will have a jaw slightly wider than their cheeks, but most men won’t suit a jaw that wide. An obvious sign of an overdone male jaw is having the jaw much wider than the cheeks. The masculine chin is ideally the width of the mouth edges. It should project forward past the edge of the nose.

What is it like getting jawline treatments?
This is what writer Faith Xue says:
“The actual process itself isn’t exactly pleasant. It was the strangest, most uncomfortable feeling. You can feel the product going through your skin, like wet concrete being squeezed into your jawline (you’re welcome for that visual). Luckily, the process was over fairly quickly. When I peered in the mirror, I didn't notice that much of a difference at first, but they promised me the results would be more noticeable shortly after. In fact, the results may be more extreme directly following your initial appointment because your face tends to swell a bit. She sent me on my way with an aftercare kit, and I immediately snapped some selfies in the Uber home.
That's when I realized how much of a difference the treatment had truly made in my face. Suddenly, my jawline had a clearly defined angle from the bottom of my ear to my chin. My chin looked more pronounced, and my face, in general, looked more angular and sculpted. It was actually shocking. I was obsessed. I couldn't stop taking photos of myself and sending them to my friends with the text, "New jawline. Who dis?" I couldn't believe that I could get results like this without undergoing a more invasive treatment and knew I had to share my experience.”

Jawline treatment FAQ & details

-
Your natural jawline in made up of the chin at the front, the bony angle of the jaw at the back, and is supported by the jaw muscle. Those who have big and strong masseter muscles will often have a chiseled jawline.
-
Your jawline should be in harmony with the rest of your face. All over Instagram you can see horrendous, overdone jawlines. They make young women appear like a chunky man and make men look like a cartoon superhero. This is because the angle of the jaw was made too close and from the front it was too wide. The jawline must match the rest of the face or else it will look bad. Very bad.
-
The price for jawline contouring depends on how much product is required. If you have a very lean, smaller face, we may be able to get a good effect with less product. Most people will need considerably more to get a result they will be happy with. You can also add on chin treatment to complete the look.
We offer competitive prices without compromising quality. Due to regulation changes, we cannot openly publish prices. Please contact us for detailed price information.

Jawline enhancements are not just for 20-something year olds. As we age, we lose a lot of bony volume from the angle of the jaw. This bone loss results in sagging skin and jowls. By restoring this bony volume with jaw contouring we can support the skin and reduce jowls. For mature patients, we advise using a collagen stimulating products which will also tighten the skin in the area and give a long lasting and natural looking jawline.
-
The more fat you have under the chin and around the jaw, the harder it is to define your jawline. Much more jaw product is needed to achieve a good result. As your body fat levels reduce the jawline will become more defined. We usually advise weight loss first if there is a decent amount of fat around the area. You may also wish to consider liposuction to the area.
-
You will get some redness, temporary swelling and sometimes a bruise. The area will be tender for a few days. There is a very small risk of blocking a blood vessel. It this happened we would need to dissolve the product to restore the blood flow to the skin. The risk of this is about 100,000 to 1. There is a chance the some results may look soft or puffy if too much volume is put in, or as they break down after 12 months. This can be corrected by dissolving the old jaw treatments.
-
This varies a lot. Most people will find they last from 9 to 18 months. In younger, active women they often fade faster, but in older people they can last longer. If you gain fat, the treatment can become hidden and if you lose fat the treatment will look more defined.
-
It is much more pleasant than lip treatments, but still can be uncomfortable at times. We often use local anaesthetic to numb the area and use a microcannula to minimise pain and reduce the chance of bruising.
-
After jawline contouring you can get back to normal activities the same day in 90% of cases, some people may feel self-conscious if they have a bruise though.
