What to Expect on the Day of Jawline Contouring Surgery
Your jawline contouring procedure will differ depending on your chosen technique or combination treatment:
BOTOX/Dermal Fillers
For clients who choose to receive BOTOX/Dysport or hyaluronic acid filler, Dr. Walker will carefully inject the formula along the jaw or under the chin to create a more defined jawline in our office.
Liposuction
Liposuction is generally performed in the office under local anesthesia. A thin hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions under your chin and possibly behind each earlobe to suction fat out of the jawline area.
Facial Implants
If you choose facial implants, local anesthesia will typically be used. Implants will be carefully inserted through a small incision to create the desired look, and sutures will be used to close any incisions. Those patients who desire general anesthesia can be brought to the operating room as long as they are healthy and cleared for that type of anesthesia.
Jawline Contouring Recovery
Overall, recovery from jawline contouring will differ depending on the technique utilized.
BOTOX/Dermal Fillers
BOTOX or dermal fillers are used to achieve jawline contouring with essentially no downtime. Clients can return to work as soon as they feel comfortable, though strenuous exercise should be avoided on the day of the procedure. Depending on the formula used, results from BOTOX/dermal fillers in the jawline can last anywhere from three months to two years.
Liposuction
When liposuction is used, clients experience minor swelling and bruising. Results are often visible within 2-3 weeks following the procedure. Results from jawline liposuction are often semi-permanent as long as no significant weight is gained.
Facial Implants
In cases where facial implants are used, bandages and dressings may be applied and should be worn as directed by Dr. Walker during your recovery. Swelling and bruising may occur, as well as temporary numbness. Dr. Walker will provide you with specific instructions regarding returning to exercise and everyday activities. Results from facial implants are long-lasting.
