A well-defined jawline is often associated with youth and beauty, as it relies on the interplay of bones, muscles, skin, and fat. However, as we get older, changes like sagging skin from collagen loss, reduced elasticity, volume loss, fat buildup around the jaw and chin, and bone resorption can affect its look.

In a chat with a Lifestyle Magazine, Dr. Viral Desai, a Board-Certified Super Specialist in Cosmetic Plastic and Hair Transplant Surgery and the Medical Director at DHI India, mentioned, “Muscle weakening can lead to the development of a ‘double chin.’ Maintaining or restoring the definition of the jawline through various non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures can offer notable aesthetic improvements. These treatments can help achieve a more balanced, youthful, and sculpted facial profile, often in just one session, with minimal to no recovery time.”

He noted that some of the most popular techniques used include:

1. Injectable skin enhancers:

If you're looking to enhance a weak jawline, regain lost volume, or create a more defined look, dermal fillers are a great choice. They're safe, effective, and super convenient for reaching your beauty goals. Plus, they're non-invasive, can be tailored to your needs, and offer quick results with little to no recovery time.

Different types of dermal fillers for enhancing the jawline:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers: These fillers are perfect for adding volume and defining the jawline. Popular options like Juvéderm and Restylane provide immediate results and can be shaped easily to achieve smooth, natural contours.
• Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra): Sculptra helps boost collagen production over time. It's a great choice for anyone seeking a subtle and long-lasting improvement in their jawline, as it offers semi-permanent results.

2. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Radiofrequency:

These treatments harness heat to boost collagen production, which helps firm up the skin and reshape the jawline.

• HI-FU: This method uses ultrasound energy aimed at the SMAS layer of the skin. By applying controlled heat to this layer, HI-FU promotes collagen remodeling, resulting in a lifted appearance.
• Embrace RF: This innovative, non-invasive technology merges radio frequency with micro-needling to enhance collagen production and tighten the skin.
• FaceTite and NeckTite: These advanced non-invasive techniques utilize radio frequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL)

This approach heats the skin tissues from both the inside and outside, effectively tightening and lifting sagging skin. It also aids in fat reduction, particularly around the jawline and neck, helping to create a more sculpted and contoured look.

3. Meso-lipolysis injections:

This method uses injections of a fat-dissolving solution right into the layer of fat just under the skin. The formula includes components like deoxycholic acid, which helps break down fat cells so the body can gradually get rid of them.

4. Botox:

For people with a wider jawline caused by overactive masseter muscles, Botox can help by relaxing these muscles, leading to a slimmer, more V-shaped jawline. Additionally, using Botox in the platysmal muscles can enhance the definition of the lower jawline.

Dr. Satish Bhatia, a Board-Certified Dermatologist at the Indian Cancer Society in Mumbai, shared his insights on facial aging. He noted, “As we get older, our faces lose volume due to factors like bone loss, the depletion of deep and superficial fat pads, and the loosening of the ligaments that support the skin, all of which contribute to sagging.

He emphasized the importance of understanding the source of these changes. “Dermal fillers can help restore volume, but it’s crucial for the injector to identify where the changes are happening and treat them appropriately. Achieving facial balance is key, as it ensures harmonious proportions for the chin and jawline. The chin plays a vital role in this process; addressing it should be a standard practice when working on the jawline to create a more balanced appearance. Often, treating the chin is necessary to improve jowl lines or the downward lines at the corners of the mouth, leading to a more symmetrical face.”

He wrapped up by stating, “It’s essential for your injector to be knowledgeable about the blood supply in the lower face, particularly the various pathways of the mental artery. Personally, I prefer to use a limited number of filler syringes, which helps me achieve a natural look for my patients without going overboard and creating an exaggerated appearance. My philosophy is that less is more, which results in beautifully balanced and natural outcomes.”
