Have you ever wondered how great it would be to have a sharp, beautifully chiseled jawline like that of actors and models? Some people are born with such a beautiful shape. But as we age, or for other reasons, sometimes the shape of our face changes a little and the skin starts to sag. So is there no solution to this? There really is. Jawline Filler is a modern method that can be done very quickly without surgery. Today, we will talk about it in simple terms.
What is Jawline Filler simply?
Simply put, Jawline Filler is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment. In this, a trained doctor injects a very safe substance under the skin of your jawline. This substance is like a gel. When injected under the skin, it gives that area a fuller, younger look. It also gives the jawline a beautiful, sharper shape. Fine lines and wrinkles on the skin are reduced, and the face looks fresher.
Are there other names used for this?
Yes, you may hear different names for this treatment. Jawline Filler is a type of `(Dermal Filler)`. `Dermal` means something related to the skin. So you may hear these names:
- Facial Fillers
- Injectable Fillers
- Soft Tissue Fillers
Whatever the name, it refers to fillers that are injected under the skin.
Who gets Jawline Filler? What kind of results can they expect?
Many people turn to this treatment to improve their appearance and look younger. If you have something similar in mind, you can consider this treatment:
- Add volume to the jawline: Some people have weak, sunken jawlines. They can be given a fuller look.
- Create a clear contrast between the jaw and neck: This will make the jawline sharp and stand out nicely from the neck.
- Give a Sharper Angle: This helps to give the face a beautiful shape and an attractive look.
- Look younger: It reduces sagging and wrinkles as you age, giving you a younger look.
- Make both sides of the face symmetrical: Sometimes one side of the face is different from the other. This can be used to correct that asymmetry.
- Erase fine lines and wrinkles in the jaw area.
How do these fillers work? Are there multiple types?
Yes, there are several main types of Jawline Filler. Each one works slightly differently. Your doctor will choose the type that best suits your needs.
| Filler type | Simply put... |
|---|---|
| Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) | This is a mineral compound that is naturally found in our bones. It is mixed with a gel and injected into the skin. Then our own body starts producing collagen around it. This fills out the jawline and reduces wrinkles. Radiesse® is a well-known brand of this type. |
| Hyaluronic Acid (HA) | This is also something that is naturally produced in our body. Its main function is to retain moisture in the skin and give it a fullness. As we age, its production decreases. That's when the skin starts to sag and wrinkles start to form. When this HA is injected, the jaw area fills out and wrinkles disappear. Juvederm® and Restylane® are famous fillers of this type. |
| Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) | These are like tiny collagen balls. When they are placed under the skin, they give the skin a fuller, tighter appearance. They last longer than other types. However, you may need to get multiple injections to get the best results. Bellafill® is an example of this type. |
How long do the results of this treatment last?
This is not a permanent treatment. Over time, our bodies gradually break down and absorb the filler. Therefore, the duration of the results depends on the type of filler you use.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA): Usually lasts about 12 months .
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Can last from 6 to 12 months , sometimes up to two years.
- PMMA: Lasts a long time , about 5 years .
Who should not get jawline filler?
Although this is a very safe treatment, it may not be suitable for some people. If you have any of these conditions, you should definitely tell your doctor.
- Cold Sores - Herpes Simplex Virus: This is not a good idea to do when there are active sores.
- Connective Tissue Diseases: If you have diseases like Lupus or Scleroderma.
- Skin infections: If there is an infection in the area where the treatment is expected.
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
The most important thing is to tell your doctor about any illnesses you have, medications you take, or allergies without hiding anything.
