Treatments to Contour the Chin and Jawline

In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in cosmetic procedures to enhance the chin and jawline. In fact, according to a survey conducted by the ASPS, over 75% of plastic surgery practices that focus on cosmetic procedures have observed an increase in business compared to before the pandemic. ^[1] People want to look good, and now there are more options than ever to help people do that. 

Nothing quite changes a face like contouring for the chin and jawline. A sharper, more defined jawline can create a more youthful and attractive look. In the modeling and fashion industries, a defined jawline is essential. A weak jawline can affect the overall appearance of your face and create an unbalanced, tired, or aged look.

Furthermore, the chin and jawline have been important features in art and beauty standards for centuries. In ancient Greece, a well-defined jawline was seen as a symbol of masculinity and strength, and many sculptures and artworks from that time depict men with strong, chiseled jaws. In China, a pointed chin was seen as a sign of nobility and beauty, with women sometimes wearing chin prosthetics to achieve the desired look. The classic Chinese novel “Dream of the Red Chamber,” written by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century, describes female characters wearing chin prosthetics made of jade to achieve a pointed chin.

Many individuals seek cosmetic procedures to enhance their chin and jawline. Here are the procedures and treatments Dr. Fedele offers to augment the lower part of the face:

Facelift for Jawline Contouring

Facelifts and mini facelifts are surgical procedures that contour the jawline and improve the face’s overall appearance. However, there are some differences between the two procedures.

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions around the ears and along the hairline to lift and tighten the skin and underlying tissues of the face; this can improve the appearance of sagging jowls, loose skin around the neck, and deep wrinkles around the mouth and nose. In addition, a facelift can also help to contour the jawline and create a gorgeous profile. Patients can experience up to a 49% improvement in skin laxity after the procedure! ^[2]

A mini facelift, also known as a limited incision facelift, is a less invasive version of a facelift that involves making shorter incisions around the ears and hairline. This technique is generally reserved for patients with less advanced signs of facial aging and looking for more subtle improvements. A mini facelift can address mild to moderate skin laxity, volume loss, and decreased jawline definition.

Liposuction 

As we age, the fat deposits in our faces shift. Many patients also find that they accumulate fat differently and develop a double chin. Also known as submental fullness, this store of fat can make the chin seem less prominent, and mask the contours of the jawline. Patients with good skin elasticity can restore definition by removing this fat with liposuction, which results in a more slender and youthful appearance The procedure is performed by inserting a delicate cannula into a small, discreet incision, which safely suctions away unwanted fat for long-lasting results.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical option for enhancing the jawline and chin contouring. They are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. When injected, dermal fillers can help to 

Additionally, fillers smooth out wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth and nose, thus enhancing the face’s overall appearance.

What is Juvederm Volux XC? 

Juvederm Volux XC is a thick, viscous gel that provides more structural support than other fillers, making it particularly effective for contouring and sculpting the chin and jawline. The gel is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural-occurring substance in our bodies.

The formulation of Volux XC includes VYCROSS technology, which involves cross-linking the hyaluronic acid molecules to create a more durable and long-lasting filler. This allows the filler to maintain shape and provide consistent results for up to 12 months. ^[3]

The Ideal Candidate for Chin and Jawline Contouring

The ideal candidate for chin and jawline contouring depends on the specific procedure and technique being used. Candidates for any cosmetic procedure should be in good health, both physically and mentally to ensure a safe and successful outcome. Patients who see Dr. Fedele for chin and jawline contouring are typically in their 30s to 60s. However, this can vary depending on the procedure and the patient’s needs.

Candidates with mild to moderate skin laxity are good candidates for non-surgical options like dermal fillers. Those with more significant skin laxity may require surgical options, such as a facelift or mini facelift.
