Jaw and chin fillers are popular cosmetic procedures designed to enhance facial contours and achieve a more defined and balanced profile. 

At Facesthetics Clinics, we are dedicated to providing top-quality care and delivering natural-looking results. In this guide, we will explore the benefits, expected outcomes, preparation, procedure details, aftercare, and maintenance of Jaw and Chin Fillers.

The Benefits

Jaw and chin fillers offer numerous benefits that make them a sought-after treatment for facial enhancement. Some key advantages include:

• Enhanced Facial Contours: Jaw and chin fillers help define and enhance the lower face, creating a more balanced and sculpted appearance.

• Improved Jawline Definition: The procedure can create a more prominent and chiselled jawline, improving facial aesthetics.

• Chin Augmentation: Chin fillers can add projection and symmetry to the chin, improving overall facial harmony.

• Natural-Looking Results: Jaw and chin fillers provide natural-looking enhancements, achieving a harmonious and balanced profile.

• Minimally Invasive: The procedure is non-surgical and minimally invasive, involving a series of small injections.

• With age, when jowls form, we lose the definition of the jawline. We can use fillers to restore this definition and give a more youthful appearance. 

• Chin and Jawline fillers are also a considered treatment option for patients considering orthognathic surgery when trying to give better facial profile alignment.

Expected Results

The results of jaw and chin filler treatment are visible immediately after the procedure, with some initial swelling subsiding within a few days. Patients can expect enhanced facial contours, a more defined jawline, improved chin projection and softening of jowls.

Prepare for the Procedure

Before your Jaw and Chin Filler treatment at Facesthetics, our team will schedule a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations. We will also discuss:

• Medical History: Provide your medical history, including any allergies or previous cosmetic procedures, during the consultation.

• Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking self-prescribed blood-thinning medications or supplements to reduce the risk of bruising and inform your practitioner of any prescribed medications.

• No Alcohol: Avoid alcohol 24h prior to the procedure to minimise swelling.

• Discuss Expectations: Clearly communicate your desired jaw and chin enhancements with your medical professional.

The Procedure Itself

During the Jaw and Chin Filler procedure at Facesthetics Clinics, your skilled practitioner will perform the following steps:

• Cleansing: The treatment area is cleansed and prepared for the injections.

• Numbing: A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance your comfort during the procedure.

• The Treatment: The filler is carefully and precisely placed into the jawline and chin, guided by your personalised treatment plan using a fine needle or cannula.

• Symmetry and Precision: Our medical professionals have extensive experience in achieving balanced and natural-looking results.

Areas Treated

Jaw and Chin Fillers are used to address various facial concerns, including:

• Jawline Definition: To enhance and define the jawline, achieving a more sculpted look.

• Chin Augmentation: To add projection and balance to the chin, improving overall facial harmony, especially between the chin, lips and nose.

• Jaw Contouring: To create a more angular and defined jawline.

Aftercare and Recovery 

After your Jaw and Chin Filler treatment, follow these aftercare tips to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects:

• Avoid Touching the Treated Areas: Refrain from touching or massaging the jawline and chin for a few hours after the injections.

• No Strenuous Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise and activities for 24 hours after the procedure.

• Stay Upright: Avoid lying down for at least four hours after the injections to prevent the migration of the filler.

• No Alcohol: Abstain from alcohol consumption for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce swelling.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help the filler settle evenly.

Expected Downtime

The downtime after Jaw and Chin Filler treatment is minimal, with most patients experiencing little to no downtime. Some may experience mild swelling or bruising on the jawline and chin, which typically resolves within 7-10 days.

Maintenance and Touch-Up Treatments

To maintain the results of Jaw and Chin Fillers, periodic touch-up treatments are recommended. The frequency of touch-ups varies based on individual metabolism and the type of filler used.

Jawline fillers can help create sharper angles to the face, which we often associate with muscular physiques or a youthful model look. With age as we lose fat around the midface and excess skin falls onto the lower face and jowls develop. Fillers can be used along the jawline to soften the appearance of jowls to give back that youthful look, but we do also have to consider filler treatments to the cheeks to support the excess skin which has fallen and caused the development of jowls.

Filler treatments to the chin and jawline can help camouflage a small, set back or retruded chin to help balance your facial profile. They can also be used to lengthen short chins, sculpt a more angular, masculine look, or soften to create a feminine heart-shaped face. In the past surgical options such as a genioplasty would have been the only option available to treat the chin.

Treatments using filler have little downtime, and the results are immediate, meaning patients no longer have surgery as their only option.

As medics, we are familiar with facial proportions, angles and projections. There are specialities which treat those who fall outside of the average facial proportions, e.g. orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons and plastic surgeons. However, their treatments are often lengthy, invasive, non-reversible and aren’t suitable, nor desired by all.
