WHY DO INDIVIDUALS SEEK JAWLINE CONTOURING

  • Definition in the jawline: many of our patients are seeking to have a more defined and sculptured jawline. Non-surgical jawline contouring treatments can help create a sharper and more well-defined jawline, which is often associated with femininity and youthfulness.
  • Improved facial harmony: a well-defined jawline can contribute to the overall harmony of the face. In the case where the chin stops short or recedes in, or where there in a lack of structure in the jawline, the face can look disproportionate. Jawline contouring can help to achieve a better facial balance by enhancing the contour and proportions of the jawline.

JAWLINE COUNTOURING

Non-surgical jawline contouring procedures:

We offer a range of non-surgical jawline contouring treatments, designed to provide a more well-defined jawline. Jawline contouring treatments may include:

  • Radiofrequency (RF) + Microneedling and Ultrasound: are a non-invasive treatments to help firm and tighten the skin around the jawline
  • Muscle reducing treatment: involves the use of specific products that are injected into the jawline muscles. This results in a thinning of the muscle and a reduction in the squareness of the jaw, creating a slimmer lower face contour.
  • Volumising and Contouring Products: products can be strategically injected along the jawline to add volume, improve definition and provide a more youthful and feminine appearance.
Surgical jawline contouring procedures

There are several different surgical procedures that are designed to address the lower jawline which include a facelift, chin augmentation (using a chin implant or fat graft) and submental liposuction (liposuction in under the chin area).

At Bella Plastic Surgery, we focus on employing non-surgical procedures to provide a sharper, more well-defined lower jawline. In most cases, a non-surgical treatment approach will achieve the desired aesthetic results, meaning that surgery is not required.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

There are a variety of different non-surgical jawline contouring treatments that involve the use of different products therefore, the longevity of the results can vary depending on the treatment approach.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

The recovery time depends on the non-surgical treatment approach which can vary in recovery from slight skin redness through to bruising and swelling that can linger for several days to weeks.

We recommend that you schedule a formal and in-depth consultation, so that our highly trained and skilled cosmetic nurses can tailor a treatment plan, specific to your aesthetic goals.
