Jawline Contouring
When we think of conventional beauty, we often have preconceived ideas of what is attractive. In men, a strong, muscular jaw with a square chin and well-defined cheekbones is often an attribute of attractiveness. A symmetrical face with high cheekbones and a defined, flawlessly smooth, narrow jawline is often considered beautiful in women. Individuals with a weak jawline or recessed chin may feel that their facial symmetry is off. Non-surgical jawline contouring is a great solution to these issues for a more balanced and attractive appearance. WalkerMD is 19 minutes from Downtown Atlanta and 12 minutes from Brookhaven and is eager to provide jawline filler procedures.
What is Jawline Contouring?
Jawline contouring is a great way to achieve a stronger or more refined jawline to balance out the face. It can be achieved using a number of techniques, including dermal filler or a surgical procedure, such as:
The cosmetic procedure will be customized to you and depend on your individual aesthetic goals and downtime tolerability. During your consultation, Dr. Walker will discuss your personal goals with you and suggest the most appropriate treatment method to meet them and enhance your youthful appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate for Jawline Contouring?
Jawline contouring can often benefit individuals seeking a more defined or slimmer jawline. Ideal candidates will be healthy non-smokers struggling with poor collagen production or a sagging jawline who have realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure. Because there are a number of jawline contouring techniques available, individuals looking for temporary or long-term results can benefit from this jawline and chin procedure.
How is the Jawline Contouring Procedure Done?
Your jawline contouring procedure will differ depending on your chosen technique or combination treatment:
-
Botox/Dermal Fillers
For clients who choose to receive Botox or hyaluronic acid filler, Dr. Walker will carefully inject the formula along the jaw or under the chin to create a more defined jawline.
-
Liposuction
In liposuction cases, general anesthesia is used. A thin hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions to suction fat out of the jawline area.
-
Facial Implants
If you choose facial implants, twilight or general anesthesia will 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.
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 very little to 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 long-lasting 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.
