What is Jaw Contouring?
Jaw contouring is an aesthetic procedure that looks to remodel and redefine the jaw shape, which makes it seem sharper, angrier, or symmetrical. Various reasons make the patients choose jaw contouring: one of them performs the operation for aesthetic purposes such as defining the jaw angle, and others may necessitate this treatment due to sagging skin, asymmetry, or scars, especially as a result of trauma or surgery.
The goal of jaw contouring is to have a well-balanced, aesthetically pleasing facial structure. This can be achieved through surgical and non-surgical methods, depending on the goals, budget, and comfort level of the patient with invasive procedures.
Types of Jaw Contouring Treatments
Surgeries are now being replaced increasingly with minimally invasive solutions, such as non-surgical jaw contouring. Practitioners can very subtly alter the appearance of the jawline using injectable treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox.
Dermal Fillers: This category of injectable fillers adds volume to correct depressions, smooth out irregularities, and define the jaw line by filling spaces such as under the jaw line. It defines the jaw, corrects asymmetry, and can improve the appearance of a weak chin or an odd jaw line.
Botox for Jaw Slimming Botox relaxes the masseter muscles responsible for chewing, and thus may lead to the appearance of a wider jaw. The oval or heart shaped jaw that is ideal for the ones with an excessively wide jaw is achieved when the masseter muscles are at a minimum.
Kybella: This is FDA-approved injection treatment, which exclusively targets the fat cells at the chin or submental fat. Anyone with “double chin” or jaw fats can go for the treatment. The Kybella kills the fat cells after the injection, thereby chiseling the jaw over time.
Jaw Contouring as Scar Treatment
Scarred areas around or on the jawline due to accidents, surgeries, or cosmetic procedures previously done may also benefit from jaw contouring treatments. This may help in improving the appearance of scar tissue and evening out the jawline, otherwise smooth.
The dimples and depressions along the jawline can be filled by dermal fillers so that the skin would appear even and smooth. Fillers will improve the appearance right away, and results usually last between 6 months to 2 years depending on the filler type used.
Scar revision surgery is the removal or repositioning of scar tissue that is deeper and more severe. Depending on the case, surgery may include combining scar revisions with jaw contouring to achieve an aesthetic appearance.
Laser Scar Treatment: At times, scar Treatment such as fractional CO2 laser or microneedling will also reduce the scar, which further encourages the development of more collagen for new skin reconstruction. In other words, it could also smooth the jaw area’s textural, color, redness, and discoloration in relation to the neck.
Skin Tightening: Definition and Process for the Tauter Jaw Contour
The age of the patient will show some looseness of the skin of the jaw and neck; sometimes it even presents itself with a “double chin.” This can be dealt with using non-invasive procedures, which may combine with jaw contouring treatments in providing an ideal way of toning and skin tightening of the jaw area.
Ultherapy: Ultherapy utilizes focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep in your skin. It tends to enhance lifting and tightening of sagging skin around the lower jaw and neck, reduces the appearance of double chin, and gives a fresh, youthful contour to the face.
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening: Heating the deep layers of your skin through radiofrequency energy stimulates new collagen production, which helps tighten the skin. Most RF treatments, such as Thermage, are noninvasive and show visible skin tightening around the jaw and neck.
Thread Lifts: This is a procedure involving the insertion of dissolvable threads under the skin, which can then be pulled to enhance the appearance of a lifted jaw. The threads start stimulating collagen production, hence tightening the skin gradually with time.
Conclusion

From nonsurgical injectables to more invasive surgical procedures at Wymore, there is something for everybody. Whether asymmetry, sign of aging, or scar, jaw contouring has the potential to completely change any patient’s results.
