Defining the jawline with hyaluronic acid

Visible definition usually requires two to four millilitres — the jawline is a long stretch and needs more volume than the lips, for instance. How much it is in your case we tell you honestly at the introductory consultation, before anything happens.

Twelve to eighteen months. Because firm, strongly cross-linked fillers are used here, the jawline lasts longer than a lip treatment, for example.

Not when the work is done properly. We build along the edge, not across the surface — which makes the face look more defined in profile and, from the front, rather narrower, because the contour becomes clearer.

Hardly. We work predominantly with a blunt cannula that pushes vessels aside instead of piercing them, and the fillers already contain a local anaesthetic. On request we also apply a numbing cream.

Possible, but thanks to the cannula technique considerably less often than with needle injections. If they do occur they are usually small and, after a few days, barely visible under make-up. Even so, schedule the appointment one to two weeks before an important occasion.

Yes, completely. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved within minutes with the enzyme hyaluronidase. That is one of the great safety advantages over permanent materials.

Indirectly. A clearly defined jawline makes the transition to the neck look considerably slimmer in profile. It does not remove actual fat tissue beneath the chin — for that there are other procedures that we offer in-house.

Two completely different aims. Fillers build contour. Botox in the chewing muscle reduces a thickened masseter and makes the lower third of the face narrower — more about that on our page on <a href="/en/bruxismus/">bruxism</a>. For some people the combination is exactly right.

Very much so, and demand is rising noticeably. With men we deliberately work more angular and emphasise the jaw angle more strongly; with women softer and more curved.

On the day of treatment no sport, no sauna, no solarium, and do not massage the treated region. Cooling is allowed and eases swelling. From the next day everything is as usual.

Very safe when performed by a specialist doctor. Anatomical knowledge is decisive: important vessels and nerve branches run along the lower jaw. That is precisely why no beauticians treat here.

We charge per millilitre of hyaluronic acid — from € 460 per millilitre, including consultation, treatment and material. There are no hidden extras here. You will find all prices on our prices page.
