A perfectly defined face thanks to jawline contouring
Dr Arie Azuelos' blog in Paris
The contour of the face, particularly the jawline, is one of the most defining features of our appearance and profile. With the evolution of aesthetic techniques and the growing importance attached to facial definition, jawline contouring has become the new trend for sculpting and defining the jawline. As well as adding beauty and symmetry, this procedure offers a more dynamic and youthful look to those who wish to refine their facial silhouette.
What is jawline contouring?
Jawline contouring, also known as ‘jaw contouring’ or ‘oval face contouring’, is a non-surgical technique that aims to improve and define the shape of your jaw to achieve a sharper, more sculpted jawline. This method uses fillers, usually hyaluronic acid, injected strategically along the jawline to give the impression of a more defined and angular structure. The results are often impressive and can greatly improve the balance and symmetry of the face. Jawline contouring is ideal for people looking to refine their facial contours without the need for surgery.
How is a jawline injection carried out?
Jawline contouring is a fairly quick and simple procedure that usually takes place in your surgeon’s office. Before starting, he or she draws a guide line along the jawline to determine where to position the injections for the best results. A local anaesthetic is applied to reduce any possible discomfort. Hyaluronic acid is then injected along the jaw line, with particular attention paid to the angles of the jaw and the chin. The procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and an hour, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterwards.
What are the potential risks of jawline contouring?
Although jawline contouring is a non-invasive and generally safe procedure, it is not without risks. The most common are bruising, swelling and temporary sensitivity at the injection site. It is therefore essential to choose an experienced professional to minimise these risks.
Is the result of jawline contouring permanent?
Jawline contouring is a non-invasive procedure that generally uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to sculpt and define the jawline. However, it is important to note that these fillers are not permanent. They are gradually absorbed by the body over time, generally over a period of 6 to 18 months. Therefore, to maintain the results obtained, it is necessary to repeat the procedure periodically. The exact duration of the effect depends on a number of factors, including the type of product used, the area injected and each patient’s individual metabolism. Jawline contouring can also serve as a precursor to more permanent surgical modifications.
When can I see the results of jawline contouring?
One of the great advantages of jawline contouring is that the results are virtually immediate. Once the fillers have been injected, you’ll notice an improved definition of your jawline. However, it is common to experience a degree of swelling or oedema after the procedure. This is completely normal and temporary, generally diminishing in the days that follow. The final result is generally visible after 1 to 2 weeks, once the swelling has completely subsided. It is important to point out that each individual is unique, so recovery times and the appearance of results may vary.
