In most of the cosmetic enhancements to the jawline involved surgical procedures with some degree of discomfort and recovery time afterward. Today, advancements in cosmetic treatments have allowed the doctors to perform very effective Jaw Shaping without incisions or recovery periods. Injectable treatments, such as Dermal Fillers and Botox, can create dramatic results on the jawline, giving a more youthful facial profile.
Who requires a jaw shaping?
Jaw shaping can be done to satisfy the following aesthetic requirements:
- A square jawline which gives the impression of added weight.
- A rounded jawline which lacks good definition.
- Lost volume along the jawline which creates an aged appearance
- Enlarged masseter muscle causing a squaring of the jawline.
Jaw shaping can also be performed in combination with other cosmetic procedures to give better results.
How does jaw shaping work?
There are two main options for jaw shaping using injectable treatments:
- Injectable fillers can be used to restore lost volume to the jawline and to create a rounder more youthful lower facial contour
- Neuromodulators are to be used to relax and reduce the jaw muscles in the lower face and neck, which results in a more defined jawline and a more attractive shape to the face
Injections usually take just a few minutes to complete and can be done using a numbing cream. The injections must be strategically and correctly placed in areas that will see the greatest benefits. Once the injections are completed, the patient will be able to return to regular activities right away.
What are the results of jaw shaping?
Results of jaw shaping may begin to appear right away after the injections and will continue to improve in the days after the procedure is done. Patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling and bruising which subsides within a day or two. The results of jaw reshaping may last for many months before a touch-up treatment is required. Jaw shaping using injectable treatments are a relatively new concept which a very few plastic surgeons have experience in performing.
