What Is Jawline Contouring?
Non-surgical jawline contouring is a popular cosmetic treatment where a certain amount of filler is injected into your skin to address the problems brought by the aging jawline.
This procedure helps add volume to regions of your jaw and evens out the contours of your face. It can also reshape, reposition, and revitalize various layers of your skin, fat, and muscle.
Unlike its surgical counterpart, this offers minimal downtime, allowing you to recover quickly. It also offers long-lasting results for up to two years.
All of these are possible if performed by a medically trained experienced professional. They include plastic surgeons, dentists, and nurse practitioners like Aesthetic Nursing by Rachael.
What Results To Expect From Jawline Contouring?
Aside from the already mentioned, a range of causes and benefits can also be achieved through non-surgical jawline contouring:
Greater volume in the lower face
Increased chin strength or proportion
Enhanced jawline shape and sharpness
Improved jowl appearance
Symmetrical facial structure
Stronger and framed face
Overall, jawline contouring enhances your face without looking fake.
What’s The Procedure? (How Is It Done?)
Each jawline contouring procedure is customized. However, here are the general steps before, during, and after it:
Before
You will undergo a consultation with Rachael where we will identify:
your expectations and concerns for enhancing your jawline
your health history, current medications, skin care regimens, and allergies
The information from your consultations will be used to create the recommended treatment plan for you.
Upon getting your treatment plan, you should gain a clear understanding of the procedure to be done, its potential side effects, and the maintenance routine.
Follow advice you what you should avoid pre and post-treatment.
Wear minimal or ideally no makeup on your treatment day.
Expect a short duration of treatment. Usually, it only takes 30 minutes to complete it.
During
When the region involved is identified and marked out, Rachael will start to inject the recommended type of filler. You will experience a momentary feeling of pressure or an odd sensation, but not much more, for every injection.
A Cannula may be used depending on your desired result. This is a blunt silicon-lined long needle that delivers the filler in the safest possible way.
After
Follow the treatment Rachael will provide you with post-treatment guidelines to minimize the risk of post-procedure complications.
Drink plenty of fluid to help your hydrophilic (water-loving) fillers as hydrated as possible.
Remember!
Be completely honest during your consultation. Tell us everything that may affect the conduct of your procedure and update us regularly about your condition.
Discipline is also a key to sustaining your contoured jaw. Keep a healthy lifestyle, handle stress properly, and be faithful in following the aftercare practices.
Lastly, don’t be shy in asking questions. This will help address whatever doubt and confusion you may have.
When Should I Get Jawline Contouring?
As we grow older, various anatomical changes take place in the jawline. These changes are part of the natural aging process, affecting both the function and appearance of the jaw. These include:
Bone resorption – this causes a gradual reduction in bone density of the jawbone (mandible) that leads to diminished height and width, resulting in a sunken appearance in the lower face
Loss of teeth – the absence of teeth contributes to a decrease in bone volume and height in the mandible
Changes in mandible angle and proportion – this leads to a loss of definition in the jawline causing a weaker facial appearance
Sagging skin and soft tissues – this results in the development of jowls or loose skin along the jawline
As we age our fat pockets which sit in our cheeks begin to sink down our faces which often results in volume loss and jowls in the lower jawline.
These changes collectively contribute to the aging of the jawline, affecting its structure and visual appearance over time.
Other reasons why you might want to consider contouring your jaw could be to:
Make your jawline look fuller
Separate your jawline from your neck by creating a more defined line
Sharpen the angle of your jawline
Improve the symmetry of your jawline.
Improve the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin by reducing the effects of aging
Ensure your jaw is free of creases and fine lines
How Long Does Jawline Contouring Last?
The result of jawline contouring is already visible right after the procedure. However, the length of effects may vary depending on various factors.First, the type of method used. Dermal fillers – injecting substances into depressed portions of the jawline to restore volume. These fillers usually last for six months to two years. Second, the type of dermal filler injected. Hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring body substance. However, you produce a lesser amount of this as you age. When administered, effects can last for an average of 12 months (or up to two years), allowing you to enjoy a plump jawline. Third, lifestyle and aftercare.Constant maintenance is needed to keep the jawline intact after the procedure. With that, paying regular clinic visits is necessary. To enjoy the benefits of the treatment longer, you should also have a balanced diet and exercise, follow a fixed skincare routine (daily factor 50 sunscreen), and avoid harmful habits (ex. alcohol drinking, smoking), as advised by your healthcare provider.
Safety And Risks
Jawline fillers pose potential, minimal risks. However, the treatment is relatively safe in the hands of a medical practitioner, like Aesthetic Nursing by Rachael, who knows the standard methods in the appropriate settings.
The most common temporary side effects of non-surgical jawline contouring are:
allergic reaction to the filler (itching)
minimal bleeding
skin discoloration (bruising)
redness
numbness
sensitivity and swelling
asymmetrical appearance (that subsides over time)
Lesser common side effects include:
infection
skin nodule formation
inflammatory skin reaction (granulomas)
acne-looking lumps
Side effects typically last for a day depending on the type of procedure performed. In the case of severe or prolonged pain, it is advisable to contact Rachael right away.

That’s why before getting your non-surgical jawline enhancement, you will undergo a thorough assessment with us to check your health history and status. This will allow us to know your tolerance for anesthetics and make the best treatment recommendation appropriate to your concerns.
Jawline Contouring Cost
The actual cost of non-surgical jawline contouring depends on your goals and needs (case-to-case basis). It relies on the result of your consultation to make a customized treatment plan for you.
The following factors mainly contribute to the price of the procedure:
Products used (ex. type of dermal filler)
Amount of product needed
Aftercare
Nurse’s fee and location
The type and amount of products used affect the cost of your treatment the most. Dermal fillers such as Belotero, Juviderm, and Revolax are used in clinics and range from £220-£350 per 1ml of product depending on the amount needed considering the case. On average most clients need around 2mls initially. Filler packages are available in clinics which allow for cheaper options per mLs where multiple mLs are purchased.
Another aspect involved is the aftercare requirement where fresher injections will be performed to maintain the symmetry, balance, and contour of your jaw.
