Jawline filler is a procedure that restores the aesthetic and youthful appearance of the jawline, which may have been affected by age-related deformation. The jawline is a crucial area that influences the overall proportion of the face. By applying filler along the jawline, from the chin to the ear on both sides of the face, facial contours become more defined, giving the individual a fit and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

The ease of application, along with the fact that it is a painless and risk-free procedure, makes jawline filler an ideal solution to eliminate a tired and aged look. It enhances the appearance of the double chin, jawline, neck, and chin area, resulting in a youthful, smooth, and aesthetically appealing look.

What is Jawline Filler?

The line extending from the chin to the ear is referred to as the “jawline.” The filler procedure performed to define this line is called “jawline filler.” The mandibular bone, which runs along the jawline, can lose its definition due to factors such as genetics, weight gain, and aging. Over time, deformations occur along the jawline, and the lack of visibility of the mandibular bone causes the jawline to become less defined. In such cases, the cheeks and neck may appear to merge, creating a sagging, aged, and heavier appearance.

With jawline filler applied along the jawline, the mandibular bone becomes more defined, giving the face a V-shape and a more toned and aesthetic appearance. Filler applied to the chin and jaw areas can address various issues, such as a small chin, large chin, crooked chin, chin asymmetry, double chin, and chin dimples. This procedure is advantageous due to its ease of application, fast and effective results, and being more economical compared to surgical procedures.

To undergo jawline filler treatment, the following conditions must be met:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have no risk of allergic reactions

How is Jawline Filler Applied?

Before the jawline filler procedure, the patient is examined to assess jaw deformities, determine which treatment will be most effective, and identify the application points. Jawline filler is commonly applied using hyaluronic acid (a dermal filler). Other types of fillers that can be used include calcium hydroxyapatite and poly-L-lactic acid, although hyaluronic acid is preferred due to its natural results, safety, and practicality.

Hyaluronic acid filler is a ready-to-use substance. Before the procedure, the skin is cleaned, and an anesthetic cream is applied. The filler is gradually injected into the designated points using a syringe. Manual adjustments are made to ensure the filler is evenly distributed and shaped into the skin. This process takes 10-15 minutes, and the patient can return to their daily routine immediately afterward.

Post-Jawline Filler Care

To achieve the best results after jawline filler, it is essential to follow these guidelines:

  • The treated area should be protected from any impact. You should avoid lying down for the first 2 hours.
  • For the first 7 days, avoid sleeping on your stomach or side. Sleep on your back, ensuring that your face does not come into contact with the pillow.
  • In the first few days, avoid consuming hard foods that require intense chewing.
  • No water should come into contact with the treated area for the first 6 hours. After that, it is recommended to use lukewarm water when washing.
  • Avoid exposure to the sun and stay away from environments with high heat and steam, such as hammams or saunas.
  • Alcohol and smoking should be avoided.
  • No makeup or cosmetic products should be applied to the treated area for the first 24 hours.
  • The treated area should not be massaged or scratched.
  • Strenuous activities should be avoided.
  • It is important to drink plenty of water.

Is Jawline Filler Permanent?

After jawline filler is applied, the filler substance is gradually absorbed by the body, depending on its composition. The fact that the filler is not permanent indicates that it is harmless and carries no risks to health. Hyaluronic acid filler provides results lasting for 12-18 months. After this period, the individual can choose to renew the filler if desired.

The advantages that jawline filler provides to individuals are as follows:

  • Deformities in the chin and jawline are corrected, resulting in a slim, smooth, and well-defined jawline appearance.
  • The jawline becomes more defined, creating an aesthetic appearance along with the chin and neck.
  • The individual attains a fit and healthy appearance due to the more refined facial contours.

Jawline Filler Prices

The price of jawline filler can vary depending on factors such as the extent of the chin deformity, the details of the procedures to be performed, the type and amount of filler used, the brand of filler, and the experience of the doctor. To obtain the most accurate price information, a consultation is required first. During this consultation, your doctor will evaluate your needs, create a personalized treatment plan, and provide you with an exact price quote accordingly.

Is Jawline Filler Risky?

Jawline filler is a risk-free, side-effect-free, and harmless procedure. If there are potential risks before the procedure, the filler may not be administered, or precautions may be taken for possible risks. Jawline filler must always be performed by an experienced and qualified doctor.

What Should Be Done Before Jawline Filler?

Before the filler procedure, the areas, points, and dosage to be applied are determined, and the patient’s health is assessed to ensure there are no contraindications for the treatment. The patient’s medical history is reviewed, and tests are performed if necessary.

Blood-thinning medications should be discontinued before the procedure. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided, and herbal teas should not be consumed. Any regular medications must be reported to the doctor, and approval should be obtained regarding whether to continue them.

Is Jawline Filler the Same for Men and Women?

The filler used for jawline treatments in men and women is the same in terms of content. However, the application points and dosage differ depending on the desired outcome. Jawline filler has different effects depending on gender. For women, the goal is to transform a thick, angular jawline into a more oval, V-shaped one. For men, the goal is to transform a small, rounded jawline into a more angular, strong, and square shape. A discussion with the doctor about the desired chin and facial contour is essential before the procedure.

Is Chin Filler Painful?

Chin filler application generally causes minimal discomfort. Before the procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied to numb the area, minimizing any pain or discomfort. During the injection of the filler, a slight pressure or pinching sensation may be felt, but it is typically tolerable.

After the procedure, temporary side effects such as mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area may occur but usually subside within a few days. Chin filler is known for its quick and painless recovery process, and most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Can a Double Chin Be Corrected with Chin Filler?

If the double chin is due to a small or receding chin, it can be corrected with chin filler without the need for surgery. Filler applied to the chin or chin tip can eliminate the appearance of a double chin. However, if the chin is large or sagging is severe, surgery may be required.

How Much Filler is Needed for Jawline Filler?

On average, 1-4 ml of filler is used for jawline filler. One syringe contains 1 ml of filler. In some cases, more than 4 ml of filler may be needed depending on the individual’s requirements. The amount of filler is determined based on the person’s jawline deformity and the desired chin contour.

Does Jawline Filler Dissolve?

Jawline filler gradually dissolves over time as it is made from safe and harmless materials. The filler dissolves slowly throughout the process, and hyaluronic acid is broken down and eliminated from the body within 12-18 months.

Can Chin Asymmetry Be Corrected with Chin Filler?

If chin asymmetry is caused by bone structure and is severe, surgery is the most effective solution. However, for mild to moderate chin asymmetry, chin filler is a functional option. Chin filler is more comfortable, practical, and economical compared to surgical methods.

What Happens if I Am Not Satisfied with Chin Filler?

If you are not satisfied with chin filler, the filler material can be dissolved, returning the chin to its original state. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. The dissolving process should always be carried out by experienced doctors. After dissolution, the patient may choose to have filler applied again if desired.

How Long Does Chin Filler Take to Perform?

The injection process for chin filler takes 10-15 minutes. Including preparation before the injection and post-injection care, the entire process is completed within 30 minutes. This makes the procedure time-efficient, allowing patients to even undergo the treatment during a lunch break and return to work.

Can Individuals with Receding Chins Have Chin Filler?

For mild to moderate chin recession, chin filler can provide improvement. However, for severe chin recession where the chin is very small and significantly set back, surgery may be required. The doctor will assess the patient’s chin structure during a consultation and determine the most appropriate treatment.

Does Jawline Filler Leave Scars?

Since jawline filler is performed with a syringe, no needle marks remain on the skin. Incision-based treatments that involve stitches may leave scars. Jawline filler, however, is a scar-free procedure that provides natural results that are not noticeable.

Does Chin Filler Affect the Structure of the Lips?

Chin filler does not affect the structure of the lips. Filler applied to the chin tip and jawline enhances the contours of the chin and face, creating a slim, aesthetic, and smooth appearance. As the face becomes more defined with chin filler, the lips may also appear more prominent and noticeable.

Can a Chin Dimple Be Removed?

A chin dimple, which is often associated with a masculine appearance, may not be aesthetically pleasing for women. If the dimple is not too deep, it can be filled and eliminated with hyaluronic acid filler.

For men, a chin dimple is considered desirable and is often viewed as a masculine feature. However, in some cases, the dimple may contribute to the appearance of a double chin, in which case filler can be used to correct the double chin appearance.
