Jawline Fillers – Shellharbour Skin

What are jawline fillers?

Jawline fillers can be an effective treatment to provide a sharp and defined side profile. You can use jawline fillers if you have experienced volume loss and aging or if you would like to enhance your natural facial contours. The jawline frames your lower face, and sharp, smooth jawlines are often a desired look. Our bodies change as we age; one of those changes is a reduction in the natural compounds our bodies produce, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These endogenous natural substances help achieve a youthful, radiant complexion and firm, plumped skin. Losing these elements causes our skin to sag, and our jawline droops from the volume loss, contributing to the formation of “jowls”. Dermal fillers injected into the jawline area will raise the volume above and around the jawbone to provide a youthful, more desirable appearance. For those with a naturally soft jawline, fillers can enhance, augment and contour the lower face.

Benefits of jawline fillers

There are a variety of benefits to jawline fillers, such as:

Creates a youthful, more attractive appearance
Correct “jowls” that occur with age because of volume loss
More affordable than invasive cosmetic surgery
Minimal downtime in the weeks after a dermal filler appointment
Adding more filler can help achieve the desired look
A compliment to chin and lip fillers

Jawline fillers consultation at Shellharbour Skin

Before undergoing dermal filler treatment, you must register at our Shellharbour clinic for an initial consultation with our qualified clinical team. During your consultation, you will discuss your lifestyle and health, including medical history, allergies, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. It is important to mention any allergic reactions to drugs or skin care products you may have experienced in the past and any other recent beauty treatments you’ve had. These factors affect how your body responds and how dermal fillers heal.

If you have any concerns, a consultation is when you ask questions about your treatment. Your doctor will ask about your current problems and reasons for wanting a cosmetic injection and evaluate the treatment area. You should discuss what you hope to achieve with the treatment and your aesthetic goals. All the information you provide during the consultation is essential to developing a customised treatment plan that considers your health, concerns and expected outcomes to achieve the best possible result.

What to expect?

Before starting your cosmetic injection treatment, the doctor or nurse will clean the treatment area. Your doctor or nurse will inject a precise amount of filler under the skin in the selected location. Depending on the amount of filler used, and the area treated, results are usually visible immediately after your treatment.

Patients may experience bruising and swelling, which usually resolves within a few days, but full recovery may take a week or two. Some patients may notice raised bumps or bumps on the skin, which are usually not cause for concern unless accompanied by other symptoms, such as redness, tenderness, or pain, which may indicate a possible severe allergic reaction or infection. If patients notice these symptoms, they should contact our clinic immediately.

Cost of jawline fillers in Illawarra

The cost of a jawline filler treatment varies from patient to patient and depends on the amount of filler used and the area being treated to achieve the desired results. We always recommend that our patients have an initial consultation in our clinic to determine the cost of their specific dermal filler treatment. Our physicians can assess your problem areas and develop a customised treatment plan based on your goals, health, and concerns.

Results & aftercare for jawline fillers

Most patients find that the effects of their jawline fillers can last from six months to two years, depending on the area being treated and the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular and can last for up to 18 months, while other cosmetic injectables can last for up to two years. Because of the density of fillers, the depth of the injection, and the rate at which the patient’s body metabolises the injections, there are no general rules for how long they should last and will vary from patient to patient.

To ensure proper healing and best results, your doctor or nurse will provide you with a follow-up plan, which may include:

Do not wear makeup for the first few days after treatment.
Do not exercise for the first 24 hours.
Do not use active skin care products for at least five days after treatment.
Avoid skin treatments that may cause stress or stress on the skin, such as microdermabrasion, micro-needling, and facial massage.
Stay away from extreme temperatures, such as saunas, hydrotherapy, ice baths, or hot yoga, until complete recovery.
Avoid inverted positions and keep your head elevated for the first four hours after treatment.
