Jawline – chin correction and contouring
Contouring of the chin and jaw has become an increasingly frequent consultation request in our centre. With injections of hyaluronic acid, we can correct and improve the projection of the chin as well as a sagging jawline.
OUR SOLUTIONS
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR JAWLINE DEFINITION?
In many patients with retrogenia (the chin is set back in relation to the lips) the frontal and side views of the face are lacking in harmony. The injection of a specifically designed hyaluronic acid with a high concentration improves anterior chin projection and increases jawline definition, thus obtaining a more harmonious profile. This is also known as profiloplasty.
This treatment is intended for two categories of patients:
- Young patients wishing to improve their jawline definition (Texas-Jawline) or improve the projection of the chin in the case of retrogenia (when the chin is receding and falls behind the line of projection of the ideal profile).
- Older patients with sagging lower cheeks and a loss of jawline definition due to the combined effect of bone mass loss (the jaw becomes thinner and the angle of the jaw wider) and sagging skin of the mid and lower face.
