The jawline and chin play an important role in the overall appearance of the face. With age we can develop a sagging jaw line due to soft tissues volume loss in the mid face and shrinking and receding of the jaw bone. The chin also plays an important role in bringing balance and support to the face. A well contoured jaw line and chin creates a youthful and attractive appearance to the lower face.
At Bedford Skin Clinic, we administer dermal fillers for chin and jaw contouring. These are injected into the chin and mid face, acting as a three-dimensional lattice, supporting and lifting the jawline and correcting any minor deformities in the jowl. The end result is a contoured and youthful looking jaw and chin. This treatment is also suitable for younger clients who would like a more defined jaw line and chin. Such clients may benefit from dermal filler in the jaw, chin and the midface area.
We contour the jaw and chin using thicker, higher-molecular-weight dermal fillers, such as Restylane Sub-Q, Juvederm Voluma and Radiesse. For the majority of clients this treatment results in a significant improvement in the appearance of the chin for approximately one year. Severe cases of receding chin usually require surgical correction.
