Enhancing the jawline corrects the receding jawline that results from the jaw losing its structural support. A well-defined jawline is one of the most important facial features for a beautiful and youthful look. Jawline contouring can slim the face to increase volume, correct a recessed chin, and reduce a jowled look. It gives your face a more feminine or masculine youthful profile.
Surgical Treatment
For patients with a lot of fat around the jawline and neck, surgical jawline treatment is standard.
Surgical options include:
- Neck Lifting
The surgeon makes an incision around the ear and underneath the chin. They tighten and sew the platysma muscles together. They trim the excess skin carefully and reposition the tissues. They then close the incision and bandage the wounds.
They also lift the skin on your neck to release neck muscle fat and support your neck’s structure. This procedure produces a defined jawline and a smooth, young-looking neck. After a neck lift, you may experience some discomfort and pain when you look upward. However, after some time, the pain goes away, and you start noticing a youthful appearance as the healing continues.
- Chin Augmentation
Patients with a naturally weak jawline often undergo this procedure. We introduce chin implants through small incisions inside the mouth. We make the implants using compatible silicon, customizing them to each patient’s jawbone to ensure a proper fit. Once they are in place, they act as natural bones and create a stronger, natural-looking jawline structure.
- Neck Liposuction
This jaw enhancement treatment entails removing a double chin. Excess fat hides below the chin and conceals the natural structure of your jawbone. By removing excess fat, you can make your jawline contours more visible. This procedure is ideal for revealing your hidden jawline, but it does not create a jawline definition. This procedure is most effective for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight but still have excess skin, especially if their skin has sufficient elasticity.
Non-surgical jawline enhancement
- Fillers are used.
You can place dermal fillers into the subcutaneous tissue below the jawbone to increase its volume and provide your face enough support. This procedure plumps the area that has lost volume to attain a youthful look. It also corrects the asymmetries in the chin to break a more defined jawline. Dermal fillers are temporary and reversible treatments.
- Fat-Dissolving Injections
Excess fat on the chin and neck area hides your jawline contours; some fatty areas on the face are very stubborn and cannot be dissolved by exercise or dieting. The fat-dissolving injection contains deoxycholic acid, which helps to destroy fat cells below the chin. Patients seeking jawline alignment have benefited from fat-dissolving injections, which produce a sculpted jawline without incision.
- Collagen Stimulators
This is also another effective way of jawline enhancement; as we age, we lose elastin and collagen, making our skin less elastic. Enhancing these molecules’ production around the jawline helps provide support and structure, leading to a more youthful and defined jawline. The stimulators contain calcium, which breaks down and stimulates the body to produce natural collagen within the jaw area.
Jaw enhancement is an essential way to improve your appearance. A receding jawline and sagging neck skin can affect your appearance. There are both surgical and non-surgical procedures that can help you improve your jawline.
