Jawline

Beauty comes in many forms, and a defined jawline lays the foundation for some of the most beautiful faces. Youthful faces tend to be smooth and well contoured.

But age and environmental factors can soften the contours of our jawlines, leading to sagging and ‘jowling’. Many people desire what they view as the ideal jawline, whether that means a slimmer jawline or a more masculine jawline. You can address a weak jawline and other concerns with aesthetic treatment.

The Effects of Ageing on the Jawline

Natural compounds including collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin help to give young skin its full and firm appearance. From our twenties onwards, production of these compounds steadily decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness and the formation of wrinkles. At the same time, the loss of fat pads in the face can lead to a loss of volume, saggy skin and ‘jowling’ at the jawline.

A gradual loss of bone as we age leads to a loss of contours and definition. Exposure to harsh sunlight also has a cumulative effect that becomes especially apparent in the forties and fifties. Volume loss and a loss of jawline definition often occur. You can get jawline filler treatment to help address these issues.

 

Aesthetic Treatments for the Jawline

Lifting-style dermal fillers are one potential treatment that can improve the appearance of the jawline. They are typically used to provide shape, structure, and definition to the jawline. When placed in the deeper layers of the skin, fillers provide a consistency that is soft, yet firm enough to provide and retain volume and shape.

Lifting-style fillers can also help in cases where an individual wishes to enhance their facial features to achieve an aesthetic goal. You can begin a treatment plan to achieve the jaw definition you crave today.
