What are the age-related changes that occur in the jaw and chin?
A well contoured jawline creates a youthful and attractive appearance to the lower face while a defined chin adds balance and support. As we age our jaw line can begin to sag due to the loss of volume in the midface supporting our skin and the chin becomes less defined.
Dermal fillers area a popular treatment choice for chin and jaw contouring. These are injected into the chin and mid face creating volume which in turn supports and lifts the jawline creating the appearance of a more contoured jaw and chin. Dermal filler injection can also benefit younger clients who wish to add more definition to their lower face.
We use thicker, higher-molecular-weight dermal fillers, such as Restylane® Sub-Q, Juvederm® Voluma and Radiesse® for chin reshaping and contouring. Typically, the effects of treatment last for one year.
