Non-surgical jawline treatment: your questions, answered.

Dermal fillers can restore volume and contour to the face.  As we age, our facial bones slowly diminish, connective tissue slackens, and fat pads disappear. Additionally, tissue from the midface area begins to drop, further enhancing the sagging (or jowling) appearance of the jaw.

Dermal fillers (a.k.a. face fillers, hyaluronic acid fillers, cosmetic injections augmenting gels) can appear can add volume to correct the  appearance. Jawline treatment with dermal fillers is also an option for those with a receding chin that would like more  definition to their face. For those with a receding chin, Joni may also recommend  liposuction underneath the chin (sub-mental lipoplasty)

Jaw augmentation treatment

Frequently asked questions

Where is the clinic?

Dr Feldman’s Melbourne clinic is located at Suite 1102, 9 Yarra Street, South Yarra, Melbourne.

How long will it last?

Depending on the type of cosmetic injection used (with thicker formulations usually lasting longer), dermal fillers have been clinically proven to last anywhere between six months to two years. Injections around active areas of the face, such as the mouth and lips tend to dissipate more quickly; however, less active areas of the face, such as cheeks or temples tend to maintain the filler for longer.

Risks

As with any medical procedure, there are risks involved with the use of dermal fillers. Most side effects associated with dermal fillers, such as swelling and bruising occur shortly after injection and many resolve in a few days to weeks. In some cases, side effects may emerge weeks, months, or years later. Read more about dermal filler risks here.
