Looking for a defined, sculpted jawline without the need for surgery? Liquid jawline contouring is a minimally invasive treatment that enhances the lower face using precise dermal filler placement—delivering structure, symmetry, and subtle lift in a single session.
At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, we specialize in advanced facial contouring techniques, including non-surgical jawline enhancement. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your profile, improve facial harmony, or soften the signs of aging, our approach is designed to bring natural-looking results tailored to your unique features.
What Is Liquid Jawline Contouring?
Liquid jawline contouring is a non-surgical procedure that uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to shape and enhance the appearance of the jawline. By strategically injecting these fillers, we’re able to:
- Add volume where it’s needed
- Strengthen weak or receding jawlines
- Improve definition and angularity
- Reduce sagging and soften jowls
This technique allows for custom sculpting without surgery, with results that appear natural and refined.
Areas Commonly Treated
Jawline
Filler is used to define the lower face, creating a sharper edge and more structured contour. Ideal for patients wanting to enhance a naturally soft or undefined jaw.
Chin
Balancing the chin with the jawline adds proportion and symmetry to the face and can help strengthen your overall profile.
Jowls
Filler helps to lift and smooth mild sagging along the jawline, softening the appearance of jowls caused by age or volume loss.
Concerns That Can Be Addressed
- Weak or underdefined jawline: Enhances strength and structure
- Jowling or skin laxity: Creates subtle lift and support
- Facial imbalance: Restores symmetry between the lower and mid-face
- Lack of definition: Improves overall contour and projection
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical appointment takes 30 to 45 minutes. After reviewing your facial anatomy and goals, your provider will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. The filler is then injected using a fine needle or cannula to shape and contour the jawline precisely. Most patients experience mild swelling or tenderness post-procedure, but recovery is quick and downtime is minimal.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure, though full results settle as any swelling resolves. Depending on the filler used and your body’s metabolism, outcomes generally last:
- 6 to 12 months, sometimes longer with maintenance
- Touch-up sessions can help extend the effect and refine results over time
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid strenuous activity or heat exposure for 24 hours
- Stay hydrated to maintain skin elasticity
- Refrain from touching or massaging the treated area for at least a day
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You may be an ideal candidate for liquid jawline contouring if you:
- Want more jawline definition without surgery
- Experience mild to moderate jowling or volume loss
- Are looking for a balanced, symmetrical facial profile
