Discover Jawline Contouring Benefits
Experience the transformative benefits of Jawline Contouring—a cutting-edge solution to redefine and enhance your facial profile. This non-surgical procedure offers a personalized approach to tackle jawline concerns, revealing a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
What is Jawline Contouring?
Jawline contour is a popular procedure for slimming the jawline and creating a more balanced facial profile. Over time, aging can impact the elasticity of the jawline and create jowls. A sagging jawline can add age to someone’s appearance and also impact the balance of the face. Jawline contour using injections is popular for men and women who want to create a more defined jawline.
Fillers and botox have seen a rise in popularity because there is less recovery time compared to surgery. Furthermore, it is a quick and relatively painless procedure that provides immediate results. Fillers and botox can also be used as preventative measures for younger patients who have not yet experienced facial volume loss.
Expected Results after Jawline Contour
- Decreased appearance of sagging skin
- More definition along jawline
- More youthful and refreshed appearance
Some celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Robert Pattinson are well-known for their jawline. Angelina Jolie has a well-defined jawline that enhances her facial symmetry while making her look youthful and feminine. Halle Berry also has a sharp jawline that defines her face and features. Robert Pattinson has a square jawline that gives him a chiseled look as compared to the female celebrities.
Ideal candidates for Jawline Contouring
Good candidates for jawline contouring
- Have mild or moderate jowls. Those with excessive jowls may be good candidates for surgical intervention.
- Desire to increase definition in jawline and increase facial balance.
- Patients that have TMJ can benefit from jawline injection.
There are different expected results for jawline contour in men and women. While men might want a more chiseled look that can increase masculinity, women might prefer a soft but defined jawline that does not create a “square face”. A specific type of patient-population that might benefit from jawline contour are Asians. Asians traditionally have flatter and wider faces, which facial contouring can address by adding more length and dimension.
Patients with TMJ can also benefit from jawline injection. The temporomandibular joint connects the mandible to the temporal bone and can become inflamed or overused. Getting injections can help stabilize inflammation and also block the activity of the masseter muscle which can decrease pain.
Surgical intervention is also an option if there is too much loose skin. Some modalities that can contour the jaw are chin implants which can make the jawline look slimmer and kybella injections which can dissolve fat and help contour the jaw.
Jawline contouring is not meant for every patient. For some patients, a jawline contour might create a better angle from the side profile but unflattering views of the front profile. Examples are fillers creating too much angle in the face, making it seem more masculine than feminine. Therefore, fillers and botox should be used with caution.
Jawline Contouring Techniques
The jawline is along the mandible of the face. With more aging, the skin around the jawline can become looser and less defined. Fine placement of chin fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm through the microdroplet technique can be used to help define the jawline area.
Best fillers to use for non surgical jawline contouring
Restylane
Restylane Lyft is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler. The connectivity of the HA molecules creates a smoother consistency which is ideal for jawline contour. Restylane Lyft also has a high G’ (G-prime) which means that it can resist strain and project shape on the jawline over time. Additionally, HA keeps the tissues soft and allows for more hydration and volume.
Botox
Botox is a neurotoxic protein that can be used for TMJ injections and for facial slimming by reducing jawline size. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction causes pain in the jaw which can be treated with botox. Furthermore, botox can also reduce the masseter muscle size on the rear side of the cheek which can also aid in creating a slimmer jawline.
Juvederm Voluma or Juvaderm Ultra Plus
Juvederm Voluma and Juvaderm Ultra Plus are dermal fillers that can lift and restore volume. These Juvaderm products also use hyaluronic acid which can lift and restore volume in the face as well as aid in facial reshaping.
How frequently do I need to perform jawline injections?
Hyaluronic acid fillers should last around 6-18 months depending on how much volume was initially used and how quickly your body metabolizes the products. Results achieved with Botox can last around 3-4 months. Most patients need repeat filler injections once a year.

Preparing for your non surgical Jawline contouring
Proper preparation is important when it comes to minimizing recovery and increasing safety of dermal filler injections. Prior to your appointment it is important to be off of certain supplements and medications as well as to minimize consumption of certain foods that are high in Omega-3 and Omega 6. All of our patients are advised to view our list of “Things to Avoid” prior to injections or surgery.

Recovery after Jawline Contour
After your filler injection it is normal to have some swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. If numbing cream was applied for your procedure you will still feel number for another 1-2 hours after your procedure. Please be sure to follow our post procedure instructions in order to minimize swelling, bruising, and decrease downtime.
How long will my jawline contour injections last?
Hyaluronic acid filler molecules can last up to 18 months in certain areas of the face. However, the visible effects of the fillers, to the naked eye, can last a shorter period. HA fillers last a shorter time in more dynamic and mobile areas such as lips but last longer in less mobile areas such as the lower eyelid tear troughs or the nose.
“FULL CORRECTION” is an important concept in longevity of the filler results. Full correction refers to fully correcting the problem with the necessary amount of filler. For example, if your doctor feels two syringes of filler would achieve full correction and you opt to have one syringe done, then the results will be shorter lived and you will need more frequent injections.

Risk, Safety, and Potential Complications of Jawline Contouring with Fillers
Common and expected side effects of non surgical jawline contouring include the following:
Bruising
- May last 1-2 weeks but bad bruises can last up to 4 weeks. That is not abnormal. Bruises can show up several days after the treatment.
- Bruising can be covered with a full coverage concealer such as Neostrata which we sell in the office or Cover Fx brand from Sephora.
Swelling
- May not always be even from side to side depending on pre-existing facial asymmetry and volume of injection and bleeding at each injection site.
- Initial swelling takes 2 weeks to settle.
- Sleeping propped up and icing can minimize this side effect.
- Avoid exercise first 48 hours or longer as swelling increases when working out.
- Do not manipulate or massage area as this can aggravate swelling.
Asymmetry
- Asymmetry can typically be related to swelling. Wait 2 weeks before deciding whether asymmetry is from filler differences or swelling.
- Please keep in mind that once you start to analyze your face it is not rare to start to “notice” new asymmetries that have been there your entire life.
Lumps And Bumps
- The filler is going to feel firmer than your own tissue. Do not massage or manipulate the area.
- The feeling of lumps and bumps usually improves within 2 weeks as swelling resolves.
Subtle Results
- 1 syringe of filler is the equivalent of 1/5th of a teaspoon in volume. After swelling subsides there may be a need for additional filler injections if you desire increased volume.
- Our doctors are very conservative and do not over inject patients. Our physicians prefer to add volume slowly with time to achieve patient’s desired look.
- The first time getting injections, the results tend to go away faster. With repeat treatments results last longer as you build your own collagen around the injection sites.
Possible Complications After Dermal Filler Injections
- Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
- Skin necrosis
- Acne breakout
- Nerve damage
- Injection into salivary gland
