What is non-surgical jawline contouring?
Non-surgical jawline contouring is an aesthetic medicine treatment that seeks to define and structure the jawline by injecting dermal fillers, primarily hyaluronic acid. This procedure allows for improved chin projection, enhanced mandibular angle, and balanced facial proportions, without the need for surgery.
It is a popular option for those who desire a more defined profile or for those who have experienced volume loss in the jaw area due to aging. The goal is to achieve a more youthful and sculpted appearance, always maintaining the naturalness of the features.
How does the treatment work?
The treatment begins with a detailed medical consultation where our specialists evaluate the patient's facial structure and discuss their aesthetic goals. Skin quality, the proportion of the lower third of the face, and symmetry are analyzed.
Once the treatment plan is established, the hyaluronic acid is carefully infiltrated into strategic points along the mandibular bone. This biocompatible and reabsorbable material adds volume and projection, creating a more defined line. The procedure is performed by qualified medical doctors in approximately 30-45 minutes.

Who is a good candidate for jawline contouring?
This treatment is indicated for men and women who wish to improve the definition of their jawline. It is ideal for:
- People with an undefined jawline or a recessed chin.
- Those seeking a more angular and structured profile.
- Patients who wish to correct mild asymmetries in the jaw area.
- Individuals experiencing sagging or volume loss in the lower third of the face due to aging.
At our clinic, the initial medical assessment is fundamental to determine the suitability of the treatment for each particular case.
Results and duration
The results of jawline contouring with hyaluronic acid are immediately visible, although the final effect is best appreciated once any initial swelling has subsided, usually within a few days. The goal is a more defined and harmonious facial contour.
The duration of the results can vary depending on the patient's individual metabolism and the treated area. To maintain the effect, periodic touch-up sessions are recommended.
The hyaluronic acid used in jawline contouring aims for a volumetric effect that integrates with the tissues. Individual results may vary.

It is recommended to avoid intense sun exposure, strenuous physical exercise, and massaging the treated area for the first 24-48 hours.
Contraindications and precautions
Although it is a safe procedure, jawline contouring is not indicated for everyone. Contraindications include:

Frequently asked questions
Is the jawline contouring treatment painful?
Generally, the treatment is well tolerated. Topical anesthesia is used before injections to minimize any discomfort. Some patients may feel slight pressure or a mild prick during the procedure.
How long does it take to see the definitive results?
The results are immediately visible. However, the final and most settled effect is fully appreciated once the initial inflammation has subsided, which usually occurs within the first 3 to 7 days after treatment.
Are there risks or side effects?
The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as swelling, redness, sensitivity, or small bruises in the injection area. These usually disappear spontaneously within a few days. Serious complications are rare, but the use of ultrasound in hyaluronic acid injection, when necessary, significantly reduces risks. You should always consult qualified professionals.
Can the effect of hyaluronic acid be reversed?
Yes, one of the advantages of hyaluronic acid is that its effect can be reversed by injecting hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves the product. This provides an additional layer of safety and control over the result.
How many vials of hyaluronic acid are usually needed?
The amount of product needed varies significantly depending on the patient's initial facial structure and the desired degree of definition. Our doctors will determine the precise amount during the initial consultation, always seeking a harmonious and natural result.
