frames the jawline, giving a sharper look

physician assistant

Chin filler, when injected strategically along the mandible (lower jaw), creates a more distinct separation between the jawline and the neck.

When Does Jawline Show Its Effect?

Chin filler results are seen immediately. Individual results may vary, but for many users, hyaluronic acid fillers can last up to 2 years. Chin fillers can last up to 15 months.

Whichever type you use, you may start to see diminished results within 9 to 12 months, especially if refresher injections are not administered consistently. You can help preserve the life of the chin filler in the following ways:

Avoiding UV light and protecting your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen
Moisturizing your skin regularly
Continuing to keep your skin hydrated by drinking lots of water
Eating a healthy diet
Reducing stress

How is Jawline Surgery?

Jawline surgery - Jawline surgery works by shaving the bone to reduce the size of the chin. This procedure is sometimes part of facial feminization.

Chin reduction focuses on the back of the chin near the ears. It can help correct protrusions and give the face an overall slimmer appearance.

Another option is a chin implant, which is a different type of surgery. This procedure involves placing an implant around your natural chin to create a more defined and sharper jaw.

What Awaits Us after Jawline Surgery?

It is normal to have facial swelling after jawline surgery and you will probably stay in the hospital for a few days, depending on the extent of your surgery.

Your surgeon will give you instructions on what is safe to eat and drink, what kind of painkillers you can take, how to sleep without disrupting the jaw and when you can return to work or school.

You should not smoke, do strenuous activity or exercise after jawline filling.

What is the Jawline Procedure?

At your first consultation, ask your doctor what you can expect during and after a chin augmentation

Here is what you can do in general before getting a chin filler:

Tell your doctor about any medicines or supplements you are currently taking.
Stop taking blood thinners, over-the-counter painkillers or supplements such as vitamin E, garlic, ginseng and evening primrose oil.
Avoid drinking alcohol 1 or 2 days before the filling.
Stop the use of topical skin treatments containing glycolic acid, retinol or retinoids a few days before your appointment.
Do not use any hair removal products, including tweezers, during this time.
Since chin augmentation is a non-surgical procedure, drink and eat normally before your treatment.

During the procedure

For the chin filler treatment, you should come without make-up and in comfortable clothes. Here is the short procedure you can expect:

Your doctor will numb the injection site.
Once numbed, a small amount of filler gel will be strategically injected into multiple sites along the mandible. A cannula may be used to help get the filler in.

The chin filler treatment takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.
