Izmir Jawline Filler

What is Jawline Filler?

Jawline filler is a procedure that involves injecting biocompatible dermal fillers (usually high-density hyaluronic acid) along the mandibular bone line, extending from the chin to the front of the ear. This procedure aims to define, contour, and restore volume loss in the lower part of the face without the need for surgical interventions such as chin implants or bone shaving.

Also known as “Mandibular Contouring” in medical literature, this procedure is not only an aesthetic shaping but also a “Lifting” procedure that camouflages bone resorption and soft tissue sagging that occurs with aging. The goal is to clarify the transition between the face and neck and create a sharper profile by tightening sagging in the jowl area.

The Effect of Jawline Filler on Facial Contour

The jawline is the frame of the face. Just as the frame of a painting reveals its features, the jawline reveals the facial features. A weak, receding, or indistinct jawline can make the face appear rounder, the chin more prominent, and the nose larger than it is. When this line is strengthened with jawline filler:

• The facial oval (V-shape) becomes more defined.
• The appearance of a double chin is reduced or completely hidden.
• The facial features gain a sharper and more characteristic expression.
• The face and neck are clearly separated from each other.
• The profile view is balanced.

Who is Suitable for Jawline Filler?

Jawline filler is a suitable procedure for a wide range of patient profiles. Ideal candidates generally fall into the following groups:

• Those with a Structurally Recessed Chin (Retrognathia): To provide projection in individuals whose chin is naturally small or recessed due to their bone structure.
• Those with Signs of Aging: With age, the jawbone resorbs and the skin sags. Those who want to replace this volume loss and fill the depressions at the jawline called “Pre-jowl sulcus”.
• Those with Very Round Faces: Those who want to add a more angular and attractive expression to their face.
• After Weight Loss: Those who experience sagging in the jawline after weight loss.
• Those with Asymmetry Problems: Those who have a significant difference between the right and left sides of the jawline.

Application Process and Filler Materials Used

At Izmir Private Demiderm Polyclinic, Jawline application is performed with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based fillers that have a high safety profile, are FDA approved and CE certified. Since the jawline is a bony and firm area, the filler applied here must have a high “G-Prime” (lifting capacity) and viscosity (density). In other words, instead of soft fillers like lip fillers, firmer fillers that give a bone-like feel are preferred.

The application process is as follows:

1. Planning: The physician analyzes the patient’s face and determines the points where the filler will be injected.

2. Anesthesia: A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area.

3. Injection: The “cannula” technique, which usually has a blunt tip, is preferred. The cannula ensures a safe application by minimizing the risk of vascular and nerve damage. The filler material is placed on the bone or under the skin along the determined line.

Golden Ratio and Facial Analysis in Jawline Fillers

The “Golden Ratio” (1.618), known as the mathematical formula of beauty, is our guide in jawline fillers. The face should be divided horizontally into three equal parts (forehead, nose, chin). Furthermore, the relationship between the tip of the nose, the lips, and the tip of the chin (Ricketts Aesthetic Plane) determines the profile aesthetics. Our physicians calculate the amount of filler and the application points according to these ratios. Random filler application can coarsen or masculinize the face; therefore, millimeter-precise analysis is essential.

Jawline Shaping for a Clearer Profile View

Profiloplasty,The goal is to improve the profile view. In a patient with a receding chin, the nose may appear larger and more arched than it is. A profile balance, similar to a rhinoplasty, can be achieved with filler applied only to the chin and jawline. Jawline filler brings the forehead, nose, and chin together on the same aesthetic plane.

Preparations Before Jawline Filler Treatment

A detailed medical history is taken before the procedure. The patient’s use of blood thinners, allergy history, and previous aesthetic procedures are inquired about. It is recommended to stop alcohol consumption a few days before the procedure to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising. Also, applications are not performed on areas with active herpes or skin infections.

How Long Does the Procedure Take and Is There Any Pain?

Jawline filler is a practical procedure that can be described as a “lunchtime aesthetic treatment.” Including preparation and anesthesia time, it takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Modern fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). Furthermore, thanks to the creams applied before the procedure and the cannula technique, the sensation of pain is minimal. Patients usually only feel slight pressure.

Jawline Filler Recovery Process

It is a procedure that does not affect social life. The patient can leave our clinic immediately after the procedure.

First 24 Hours: Mild swelling and redness may occur.

2-3 Days: This is the period when the filler begins to integrate with the tissue. A feeling of firmness may be experienced.

1 Week: Swelling completely subsides and clear lines emerge.

2 Weeks: This is the time for a follow-up check; touch-ups are done if necessary.

Duration of Filler Effect and Repeat Sessions

Depending on the density of the filler used and the individual’s metabolic rate, the effect lasts between 12 and 18 months. Since the jawline is not a very mobile area like the lips, fillers tend to last longer here. In regularly repeated applications, it has been observed that the duration of the filler’s effect is extended.

Combined Effects of Chin Tip and Jawline Filler

The jawline and mentum are a whole. Filling only the sides can widen the face. Projection (forward extension) and tapering of the chin tip ensures the continuity of the jawline and makes the face look slimmer. This combination maximizes the V-Shape effect.

Solution to Sagging and Undefined Jawline: Jawline Filler

Due to the effect of gravity, the cheek fat pads shift downwards, creating sagging at the chin, known as the “Bulldog” look. Jawline filler camouflages this sagging by providing support to the front and back of this sagging tissue. It stretches the skin like a tent, creating a smoother line.

Differences in Jawline Filler Treatment Between Men and Women

Male and female anatomy and aesthetic goals are completely different. Incorrect application can lead to a masculine appearance in women and a feminine appearance in men.

Features	Female Jawline Aesthetics	Male Jawline Aesthetics
Chin Tip	Pointed, V-shaped and delicate.	Wide, blunt and angular.
Chin Corner	Softly transitioning, tapering towards the ear level.	Sharp, angled close to 90 degrees and prominent.
Width	Should not exceed the width of the face (Cheekbone) (in line with).	A wide line that integrates with the neck muscles.
Purpose	Elegance and lifting effect.	Strength, charisma and masculine expression.

Things to Consider for a Natural-Looking Jawline

Naturalness means avoiding exaggeration. Excessively widening the jawline (making the face square) or excessively sharpening the chin (witch’s chin appearance) leads to aesthetically unpleasing results. At Izmir Private Demiderm Polyclinic, our physicians plan the form that “best suits your face” by respecting the person’s existing anatomy. Application to the correct layer (above the bone membrane) prevents the filler from shifting and looks natural.

Lower Face Rejuvenation with Jawline Filler

Signs of aging are most concentrated in the lower face. Downward drooping of the corners of the lips (marionette lines) and a distorted jawline make a person look sad. Jawline filler structurally supports the lower face, erasing this sad expression and lifting the face.

Things to Avoid After the Procedure

Side Effects and Safety in Jawline Filler

Since hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our body, the risk of allergy is extremely low. Possible side effects (bruising, swelling,(Sensitivity) is temporary. Rare complications (infection, asymmetry, vascular occlusion) are minimized in procedures performed by specialist physicians with a good understanding of anatomy. Therefore, it is vital that the procedure be performed in a healthcare facility.

Jawline Filler and Chin Area Support

The chin (submental area) becomes more prominent when the chin is recessed. When the chin is brought forward with filler, the skin in the chin area is tightened and the appearance of a chin is reduced. However, in cases of chins with excessive fat tissue, chin reduction (lipolysis) procedures may be recommended before filler application.

Filler Applications in Asymmetrical Chin Structures

Most people have asymmetrical faces. Due to teeth grinding, unilateral chewing, or sleeping position, one side of the jawline may differ from the other. Filler applications are the most effective method to balance these asymmetries. Visual balance is achieved by adding more volume to the deficient side.

Advantages of Jawline Shaping with Hyaluronic Acid

The biggest advantage of hyaluronic acid fillers is that if the result is not satisfactory or in case of complications, the procedure can be reversed by dissolving it with an enzyme called “Hyaluronidase”. Unlike permanent fillers or implants, it is not difficult to reverse. Also, because it is absorbed and eliminated by the body over time, it leaves no residue in the body.

Why is Jawline Filler Preferred?

It is the most comfortable way to change facial features without surgical risks, general anesthesia, a recovery period, or scarring. The immediate visibility of the results and the fact that the person does not have to interrupt their social life are the biggest reasons for its preference.

Jawline Defining and Profile Aesthetics

With the influence of social media and selfie culture, profile image has gained importance. Jawline filler provides a clearer, more photogenic, and stronger stance in photographs. By correctly structuring the play of light and shadow on the face, it creates aesthetic depth.

Combining Jawline Filler with Other Facial Fillers

The face is a whole. Jawline filler is often combined with the following procedures:

Cheekbone Filler: Lifts the face upwards and defines the jawline.

Lip Filler: Completes the profile balance.

Masseter Botox: Slims the jaw muscles, giving the face a V shape and further highlighting the jawline.

Care Recommendations to Extend the Lasting Effect

Drinking plenty of water (hyaluronic acid retains water to create volume), moisturizing the skin, avoiding excessive heat, and not smoking will extend the life of the filler. Regular skincare also supports the filler’s position by maintaining skin elasticity.

Jawline Filler Prices and Treatment Planning

Jawline filler prices are determined according to the amount of filler used (cc/ml). Because the jawline is a long area, typically 2 to 5 ml of filler may be needed. This amount varies depending on the individual’s anatomical needs and the desired level of definition. Due to Ministry of Health regulations, it is not appropriate to share price information on the website. For a personalized treatment plan, filler amount, and pricing, you need to consult with a physician at Izmir Private Demiderm Polyclinic.
