Jawline Reshaping

Jawline reshaping consultations can be useful in young women and men who would like to strengthen the appearance of their jawline. Men who feel their face is too slim or too oval and would like a more chiselled profile, and women who feel their jawline lacks definition are good candidates for jawline reshaping consultations in Melbourne. More mature women and men, who through the normal ageing process have lost jawline definition and want to restore a more youthful lower face, may also benefit from jawline reshaping consultations.

• While some people are born with a jawline they are not happy with, in most cases, the jawline appearance deteriorates due to the ageing process. The lower face is very susceptible to the changes of ageing. As the skin loses elasticity and begins to sag, the jawline starts to appear soft and lacking in definition. The corners of the mouth also begin to droop, causing ‘Marionette Lines’ (wrinkles from the corner of the mouth to the chin), and Jowls begin to form.
• In addition to skin changes, the ageing process leads to a reduction in the support of fat, muscle, and bone. The jawbone (mandible) shrinks and provides less support, adding to the loss of definition in the ageing jawline. Fat pads descend, causing jowls. The lower cheeks lose volume, causing deflation of the tissue, further accentuating the appearance of jowls.

During the consultation for jawline reshaping we discuss a treatment plan to replenish lost volume and improve definition, angles, and projection, to create a straight, more attractive Jawline. We discuss how to improve the jawline of the young, both male and female, who would like a stronger jawline, or in the more mature who are beginning to experience signs of age-related changes to their Jawline.

We discuss options to create a straight, well-defined jawline and restore the volume lost in the lower cheeks which may help lift the jawline. Biostimulators can also be used in conjunction with other modalities to further improve the jawline and jowls.

A treatment plan to improve the Jawline includes reshaping the following:

• The edges along the jawline to recreate a straight strong Jawline
• The outer corner of the jawline (mandibular angle) to improve its definition and help pull the Jowls back
• The pre-jowl sulcus which is a divot that forms in front of the jowls and further accentuates the Jowls
• Chin
• Lower cheeks to restore volume and lift the Jawline.
