Jawline Enhancement
The jawline is often overlooked in facial aesthetics, however, it is one of the most important areas to address for balanced rejuvenation Jawline contouring treatments can enhance definition, which may soften the look of jowls and marionette lines in some individuals.
FactsFacts on jawline rejuvenation
- The jawline is an integral part of balanced 3D facial rejuvenation
- This is especially important if you have had other facial areas treated
- Bone resorption is frequently seen in women in the late 30s-40s. This leads to weakened jawlines & jowls
- Treatments can be used to strengthen this area
- The jawline is my go-to area for male aesthetic
- Angles & definition can be addressed with no downtime treatments
Why is Jawline Definition important?
The world views you from different angles, not just front on. Side profile- check! Oblique profile -check! Having balanced rejuvenation cannot be overstressed. The jawline area is especially important in men for the ‘angular’ and chiseled profile. In women, bone resorption in the 30s to 50s weakens the jawline area. The jawline also has an impact on areas such as the jowls, marionette lines & chin.
What products do I use for jawline rejuvenation?
A range of treatment approaches may be considered for this area. The choice of treatment used depends on individual clinical assessment and treatment goals.
When will I see results?
Results vary between treatment types and individuals. Some changes may be visible soon after treatment, other treatments develop gradually over several months as the body’s natural collagen response occurs.

What are the potential side effects of treating the jawline?
Most patients will experience some degree of bruising and swelling for a few days after hydrating treatments. Lumps may be felt for 1-3 weeks after the procedure. Delayed nodules are extremely rare.
What other treatment alternatives are there, apart from hydrating treatments?
For patients who are risk averse to hydrating treatments, treatments such as Ultraformer MPT, Thermage, Pelleve & Tempsure can provide variable degrees of skin tightening in some, but not all patients. These devices do not provide volume. They work by collagen contraction and stimulation over time. It is important to assess if one is suitable for these treatments to maximise end results.
I also use monofilament & suspension MINT threads in this area. Threads provide skin tightening but not volume.
Davin’s point of view; jawline rejuvenation
Pan-facial assessment considers the face from multiple viewing angles rather than a front-on mirror view alone, as this more closely reflects how others perceive facial balance. In some individuals, treatment of the lower face may aim to support mandibular definition and overall proportion, with anatomical differences typically observed between male and female facial structure.
Treatment planning, including product selection, varies according to individual anatomy, clinical findings, and aesthetic goals. Addressing the jawline, chin, and surrounding regions may influence the visual appearance of adjacent areas such as the jowls or marionette lines, and suitability is determined during personalised consultation.
