In short, it completely depends on every individual. With ageing, often comes a weak jawline and chin meaning that the lower face looks 'saggy', therefore you will most likely benefit from both treatments in order to build back structure in the lower face.
Lasting for approximately nine months, chin filler may appeal to anyone whose chin has changed as they've gotten older (we lose bone in the jawline, which can alter how our muscles pull on the area), or anyone with a genetically weaker chin requiring projection.
Jawline filler is suitable for anyone who wants to improve the definition of their jaw, either because a defined jaw is not something they naturally have or because the jaw has become poorly defined due to age or weight gain.
“Risks are very low, but as with any filler there is a small risk of swelling and bruising for a few days afterward, tiny risk of lumpiness and a very tiny risk of injection into a blood vessel and skin damage secondary to this,” warns Jack.
Using too much dermal filler can distort your face, make it look asymmetric and aesthetically out of balance, and in some cases, it can even make you look older than you actually are.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
Does jaw filler change your smile? Some swelling around your mouth, chin, and jaw can occur after your dermal filler injections, briefly affecting your smile's apperance. However, this swelling typically resolves after one week, and your smile should return to normal.
Chin filler can make you look like you've lost several pounds because it elongates your face and reduces the appearance of a double chin, making your face look much slimmer. Chin filler also makes your features look sharper and more symmetrical and accentuates the V-shape of your face.
Yes, fillers can help with sagging jowls. Fillers are injectable substances used to add volume and smooth out wrinkles and creases in the skin. When strategically placed in the jawline, fillers can help lift and tighten jowls, creating a more youthful and defined appearance.
Injectable fillers enhance your facial features by adding volume to the chin, resolving double chin and addressing weak chin issues. Botox is the right treatment for you if your problem is facial wrinkles or the wrinkling or dimpling of the chin.
Lip filler and smile lines, also known as marionette lines, typically need between one to tow syringes, while the jawline can necessitate two to four syringes.
Jawline filler can also be used to contour and and add structure to the jawline, increasing volume for a more defined and sculpted neck and chin area. If you have a pronounced double chin, jawline filler can improve your bone structure for a more even facial profile.
By injecting filler on the underside of the chin, the chin elongates to remove saggy folds, while injecting chin filler into the frontal part of the chin, and at the sides can help minimise the appearance of jowls and frown lines that extend downwards from the lips.
Often the best solution is to both replace volume in the temple, upper later cheeks, and sometimes midface, and then have just a light touch around the mouth with filler. Or to skin tighten and build collagen with say Profound (deep RF microneedling), Sculptra, and CO2 laser and then fill more lightly.
Placing filler along the jawline or adding filler in your cheeks can lift your jowls, give your skin a boost, and smooth fine lines around your face. As the filler restores volume into the midface area, the skin will lift from your lower face to give you a more prominent and symmetrical jawline.
Are There Downsides to Jawline Filler? As with getting filler in other areas, minor bruising and swelling are common side effects in the days immediately following a jawline filler appointment. "Nodules or bumps may form if the filler is not placed correctly," says Dr. Madhère.
Generally speaking, gaining or losing a few pounds won't harm your facial injections. If you've used facial fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, a small weight gain won't make a difference in your appearance.
With the right number of treatments, you can expect a significant reduction in sub-mental fat (double chin fat).
That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
The dermal fillers mentioned are not permanent, and breakdown in the skin over time. “Since the results are only temporary you can expect your pre-treatment wrinkles to re-appear after the effects of the fillers resolve,” explains Dr. Hanson.
We use a dense filler like Juvederm Voluma or Volux to sculpt a new chin contour. The amount of filler is dependant on the person, though most people, on average, will need at least 1ml of filler.
In summary, there are many benefits to having chin filler. Firstly, it helps to proportion the face for a more balanced profile. Secondly, it helps define the jawline.
Chin fillers are relatively painless. Some chin fillers include lidocaine, a common numbing medication. You will feel some discomfort as the dermatologist injects the filler, however, this is temporary. After the procedure, there will be some slight swelling and tenderness in the chin.
Hyaluronic acid (HA): This naturally occurring body substance keeps your skin hydrated and full. You make less of this acid as you age, leading to fine lines and thinner, saggy skin. HA injections include Juvederm® and Restylane®. These dermal fillers plump up your jawline, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
