WHAT IS THE PRICE OF A HYALURONIC ACID INJECTION FOR THE JAWLINE ?

Jawline contouring : hyaluronic acid

The definition of the jawline has become, over the years, one of the most frequently performed treatments in aesthetic medicine. Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, it is now possible to sculpt the jawline without surgery, achieving a natural, clear, and immediately visible result. But one question regularly arises among patients : how much does this treatment cost ? The price of a jawline injection varies according to several parameters, which should be explained with rigor and transparency.

Price depending on the number of syringes required

The cost of a hyaluronic acid treatment is not determined by area, but by the volume of product injected, generally measured in 1 ml syringes. The mandibular region is an area that requires the use of highly cross-linked products, capable of supporting bony contours and projecting with stability. This is not a simple filling, but a deep remodeling.
In practice, most jawline contouring treatments require between two and four syringes, sometimes more in men or patients with wide faces. The treatment may involve both mandibular angles, the jawline itself, and, in some cases, the chin, to ensure a harmonious aesthetic continuity.
In Geneva, the average price of a high-quality hyaluronic acid syringe, suitable for this type of deep injection, is around 600 CHF. Thus, the cost of a complete jawline contouring generally ranges between 1200 CHF and 2400 CHF, depending on the number of areas injected and the chosen strategy.

Why are there different prices for jawline contouring ?

The variability of prices can be explained by several objective factors :

  • The injection plane : the deeper the injections and the more anatomical precision required, the more skill and expertise are needed.
  • The quality of the product used: only highly cross-linked hyaluronic acids are suitable for the mandibular area. Their purchase cost is higher than that of products used for superficial fine lines.
  • The doctor’s experience : redefining a jaw requires a perfect mastery of anatomy, volumes, and an artistic eye. The procedure is technical, and the result determines the overall harmony of the lower third of the face.
  • The goal of the treatment : some patients desire a subtle remodeling, while others seek a more noticeable change, requiring a larger amount of product.

It is important to remember that cost should never be separated from quality and safety. A discounted injection, poorly performed or using an unsuitable product, exposes the patient to disappointing results, or even complications.

Is the jawline a treatment that needs to be repeated often ?

Hyaluronic acid injected into the jawline has a longer lifespan than the acid used for other indications, as it is denser, injected deeply, and minimally affected by facial movements.
On average, results last between 10 and 15 months. Some people choose to have maintenance sessions every 10 to 12 months, while others wait until the result has almost completely disappeared before repeating the injection session.
The reversibility of the treatment remains a major advantage compared to surgical solutions.

Is it a reasonable long-term investment ?

When properly indicated, jawline contouring (or jaw remodeling) offers a good balance between benefits and cost. This treatment presents several advantages :

  • It allows for a visibly but naturally reshaped lower third of the face.
  • It requires neither general anesthesia nor interruption of daily activities. 
  • The result is immediately visible, adjustable if necessary, and reversible.
  • In the long term (around five years), the overall maintenance cost remains lower than that of surgery with a mandibular implant, which involves hospitalization, general anesthesia, and higher risks.

In this context, hyaluronic acid constitutes a safe, flexible, and aesthetic alternative, ideal for patients who wish to sculpt their jaw without resorting to surgery.

Can the number of syringes required be estimated in advance ?

One of the first pieces of information provided by the doctor during the consultation concerns the amount of product needed to achieve a satisfactory result, as the cost of the treatment is directly related to the number of syringes used.
The number of syringes required for a jawline contouring depends on several characteristics specific to each patient :

  • La structure osseuse : s’il existe une bonne structure osseuse il faudra moins de produit.
  • La tonicité de la peau : une peau ferme réagit bien à de faibles volumes. Si la peau est relâchée, il sera nécessaire d’injecter plus de produit.
  • Sex and tissue density : in men, the jaw is often wider and the tissues denser. Generally, more product needs to be injected.
  • Aesthetic goal : some patients desire a subtle correction, while others want a more defined result. The amount of product should be adapted to the request.

Why should one be cautious of abnormally low prices ?

Faced with the proliferation of offers on the internet or social media, some patients wonder about the price differences observed between different clinics. Jawline contouring is a medical and technical procedure that can only be properly performed with suitable products, thorough training, and a precise diagnosis.
An excessively low price should always raise caution. It may be explained by :

  • The use of lower-quality products, not designed for bone remodeling, therefore less durable and less safe.
  • An insufficient amount of product injected.
  • The absence of a thorough morphological analysis, which can lead to approximate or even contraindicated injections.
  • Injections performed by non-doctors, which is illegal in Switzerland.

A poorly performed jawline contouring can lead to asymmetries, excessive volume, or even aesthetic complications that require correction, sometimes difficult to fix.
That is why it is essential to choose an experienced doctor, working transparently and under optimal safety conditions.
