A jawline filler is a cosmetic treatment that uses fillers to firm, enhance or reshape the contour of the jawline. This treatment is suitable for people with a sagging jawline, a less defined facial contour or, for example, a hollow or asymmetrical lower face.
Without surgery, a filler treatment can achieve a firmer, more defined jawline while keeping a natural look.
What does a jawline filler do?
As we get older, the face gradually loses volume and the skin loses firmness. As a result, the jawline can become somewhat blurred or look less firm. Genetic predisposition or weight loss can also cause the jawline to lose its definition.
A jawline filler strategically restores volume or the contours along the jawline. This is done with a hyaluronic acid filler or a firmer filler that is suitable for deeper structures. The result is a firmer, younger-looking jawline that suits the natural shape of the face.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
A jawline filler is suitable for men and women who:
- have a sagging or poorly defined jawline
- want to restore volume in the lower part of the face
- want a firmer and sharper jawline, without surgery
- have early jowls or a double chin
- want to correct asymmetry in the jawline
Younger clients are also increasingly choosing a jawline filler, not to correct ageing, but to make their facial contours stronger and more balanced.
What does the treatment involve?
The treatment starts with a personal consultation in which the doctor discusses your wishes and looks at the shape and proportions of your face. Based on this, a treatment plan is drawn up that suits your face and bone structure.
The filler is injected along the jawline with a fine needle or cannula. Depending on the desired correction, this can be done on both sides of the face, sometimes combined with chin enhancement or volume restoration in the cheeks. The treatment usually takes between twenty and thirty minutes.
The fillers used contain anaesthetic ingredients, which means the treatment is generally well tolerated.
What can you expect after the treatment?
The result is often visible immediately after the treatment. The skin at the injection sites may be slightly tender or swollen, and small bruises sometimes appear. These usually disappear within a few days.
Most people can resume their normal activities straight away. We do advise avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds or pressure on the treated area for the first 24 hours.
In the days after the treatment, the filler gradually settles further, so the final result is fully visible after about two weeks.
How long does the result last?
The results of a jawline filler are temporary, but last relatively long. On average, the effect remains visible for between twelve and eighteen months, depending on the type of filler, your skin condition and your metabolism.
With regular treatments, less product is often needed, because the result builds up and is better maintained.
Is a jawline filler safe?
Yes, a jawline filler is safe when it is performed by an experienced and qualified doctor. At Kliniek het Bolwerk, only BIG-registered plastic surgeons with expertise in facial treatments work.
We only use high-quality, CE-marked fillers from reputable brands. During the consultation, we always discuss realistic expectations, possible risks and whether the treatment is suitable for your face.
Safety and a natural result always come first for us. We only treat when we are convinced that it contributes to your appearance and well-being.
What is the difference between a jawline filler and other jawline treatments?
A jawline filler is a non-surgical treatment with an immediate result. For people looking for more structure and definition without surgery, it is an accessible option.
Other treatment options include:
- Botox in the jaw muscle to visually slim the jawline in case of teeth grinding or a wide jaw
- Skin-tightening techniques such as radiofrequency or ultrasound to treat sagging skin
- Surgical jawline corrections, such as a facelift or liposuction of the double chin, for long-lasting and more extensive results
During a consultation, we always look at what suits you. Sometimes a combination of techniques is the most effective.
