Hyaluronic acid injections at the level of the jawline and chin in men aim to make the lower third of the face more square and wider in order to masculinize it. These strong and angular features increase sex appeal, give character, and enhance the attractiveness of the face.
The term “jawline contouring” refers to redefining the contours of the jaw. Currently very popular, particularly on social media, this aesthetic approach consists of harmonizing the lower third of the face. It is suitable for both men and women, with objectives that differ according to expectations. In men, it most often involves strengthening the mandibular structure by accentuating the angles and slightly widening the jaw, while projecting the chin. The objective is to obtain a sharper and more rectilinear line, from the mandibular angle to the chin. This technique, once reserved for surgery, is now performed in a medical office thanks to hyaluronic acid injections.
The lower third of the male face, considered aesthetically ideal, is prominent and characterized by a wide, square chin and a well-defined mandibular angle, projected, angular, with an opening of approximately 120° (the male angle is slightly more closed than the female).
The virile appearance of the male face is essentially determined by the structures of the lower third.
Patients consulting for jawline treatment present varied profiles. Some have a poorly defined facial oval, with soft features they wish to structure more. Others, on the contrary, already have good definition but want to accentuate certain angles. Depending on age, the requests differ : after 40, it is more often a matter of restoring the facial oval and correcting skin laxity to regain a more dynamic appearance. In younger patients, the request is often more targeted and aims for a more pronounced aesthetic modification, with a more defined jawline.
Jawline treatment with hyaluronic acid is a non-invasive, quick procedure performed in the office. An initial consultation is essential to analyze the morphology of the face, understand the patient’s expectations and define an appropriate strategy. Dr Romano also explains the modalities of the treatment and the expected results. The injections are then performed in a single session, generally of short duration.
The choice of products depends on the areas to be treated : more structuring hyaluronic acids are used to redefine the angles of the jaw or the chin, while softer products are preferred to smooth the jawline. Depending on the indications, the injections can be performed with a needle or a cannula, superficially or in depth.
The needle technique is used to inject boluses of hyaluronic acid in depth (in contact with the bone) in order to support the structures.
The cannula technique is used to provide volume and definition. The product is injected in the deep subcutaneous plane.
The injection session lasts about fifteen minutes and no social downtime is necessary, the resumption of usual activities is immediate.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections at the level of the jaw in men are :
Depending on the desired result and the anatomy of each patient, the number of syringes used varies : three to fifteen syringes for the face will be necessary. The result lasts approximately one year.
The results are visible immediately after the session, although a period of about ten days is necessary to appreciate the final result, once the product is perfectly integrated. The longevity of the result generally varies between ten and twelve months.
The after-effects are simple and do not require any social downtime. Mild side effects may occur, such as swelling, redness or small hematomas. These manifestations are transient and disappear spontaneously within a few days. As hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body, side effects remain limited.
In some patients, the definition of the jawline is altered by localized excess fat in the double chin area. Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique that reduces these fat deposits through cold, without surgery.
By specifically targeting this area, the treatment improves the visibility of the jaw. It integrates perfectly into a comprehensive management of the lower third of the face, particularly in combination with hyaluronic acid injections, in order to obtain a sharper and more structured jawline.
The results appear progressively over three months, with a lasting improvement in definition.
The cost of hyaluronic acid injections at the level of the jawline in men is 600CHF per syringe of hyaluronic acid and is defined on a personalized basis, taking into account the morphology of the face and the aesthetic objectives. A precise quote is established during the initial consultation. The cost of the treatment depends on the desired result and the quantity of product required. In practice, several syringes are often needed to obtain a harmonious result. The treatment is entirely adapted to the morphology and bone structure of each patient.
Depending on the patient’s facial anatomy, several syringes may be necessary to achieve an optimal result. The treatment is most often carried out in two sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, in order to create volume in a progressive and harmonious way.
During the first year, the initial treatment may require a significant number of syringes in order to achieve a complete structuring of the jaw. This implies a higher cost at the beginning. Subsequently, only one to two syringes are generally sufficient for annual maintenance sessions. The maintenance of the result therefore requires less product and more spaced sessions, which reduces the cost in the long term.
Mewing involves placing the tongue against the roof of the mouth, making sure the entire surface of the tongue presses against the palate. The teeth should be gently closed without clenching, the lips kept together, and breathing should be through the nose. This posture should be maintained as often as possible, even at rest.
Mewing can improve jaw posture and slightly strengthen facial muscles. However, the results are gradual and limited, especially in adults. For significant and rapid changes in jaw definition, aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques remain the most effective option.
Mewing is a technique that consists of adopting proper tongue posture by positioning the tongue against the palate. This method aims to improve facial definition, promote better breathing and strengthen facial muscles. It is based on the principles of orthotropics.
Mewing is generally safe, but improper practice can lead to :
• Muscle pain in the jaw area.
• Tension in the neck or face.
• Temporary issues related to poor tongue posture.
To strengthen the jaw, several options exist :
• Hyaluronic acid injections to sculpt and redefine the contours.
• Cryolipolysis to reduce submental fat.
These treatments offer immediate and natural results.
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections can strengthen and widen the angles of the jaw, creating more defined and masculine contours.
