Jawline contouring: non-surgical jawline definition  (2025)

Jawline contouring is one of the most in-demand procedures worldwide. We give you all the information you need on the benefits of this treatment for a weak or sagging jawline.

One of the most common aesthetic complaints worldwide is undoubtedly sagging skin along the jawline. That’s why jawline contouring has become one of the most in-demand procedures globally, as it delivers visible and immediate results without the need for surgery.

What is jawline contouring?

Jawline contouring is a professional, non-surgical aesthetic procedure that defines the jawline area. It involves the injection of jawline filler under the skin to improve skin density and volume, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin. A jawline contouring procedure can create a more defined separation between the jawline and the neck, reduce wrinkles and sagging, enhance jaw angle definition, and create a more symmetrical and natural look.

The mesofiller® nexha range from mesoestetic® is a great example of an innovative, minimally invasive treatment that delivers excellent results. Its exclusive formula based on cross-linked hyaluronic acid combined with succinic acid² triggers a synergistic effect known as neostimulation. This effect not only adds volume and definition but also biostimulates the skin to produce its own collagen and elastin—two key components in dermal structure that prevent sagging and are lost with age. Moreover, its dual release™ technology provides a twofold benefit: fast diffusion of the product immediately after treatment, followed by gradual release over seven months.

Jaw filler before and after: what results to expect

After treatment, the jawline becomes more defined, improving signs of ageing such as wrinkles and sagging. Once the filler is injected under the skin, it helps restore volume lost over time or due to weight changes, while delivering nutrients that enhance the skin’s appearance across the entire jawline area.

Thanks to its versatility, each patient can achieve personalised results depending on their goals. Jawline contouring for men typically aims for a more angular, prominent jaw by adding volume to the chin and masseter muscle to enhance facial structure and angles.

In jawline contouring for women, the goal is usually a softer, more sculpted curve along the profile and side view. This treatment also helps correct asymmetries, reduce sagging and improve the look of a weak chin.

Benefits of hyaluronic acid jaw filler

There are countless benefits of using jawline contouring rather than the other surgical procedures currently available.

First and foremost, you can achieve instant, visible results with minimal risk. Secondly, the procedure and recovery are both remarkably rapid, with patients being able to return to normal activities after minimal downtime and little pain – there’s no need to take any time off work.

What’s more, it’s a reversible treatment, and much cheaper than surgery. This aesthetic procedure is one to suit almost all budgets.

Jawline contouring FAQs

Is hyaluronic acid jaw filler a permanent solution?

One of the main advantages of this treatment as opposed to surgery is that it’s completely reversible. Patients can have the jaw filler dissolved immediately using compounds such as hyaluronidase4, giving them back their original jawline.

Who is jawline contouring aimed at?

Jawline contouring is the perfect treatment for anyone who’s started to notice the signs of aging in the jaw area, as long as they have no disorders or illnesses affecting the skin, coagulation or scarring processes (or an allergy to hyaluronic acid).

How long do the effects of jawline contouring last?

Generally speaking, and based on the unique features of each patient and their lifestyle, hyaluronic acid jawline contouring tends to last between nine and twelve months, after which point the compounds are reabsorbed.

Do I need to prepare for a jawline contouring treatment?

We recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory medication, alcohol, and any supplements that can affect coagulation such as vitamin E and fish oil. In terms of post-treatment care, you can apply a cold compress to ease swelling and should avoid touching the area for 24/48 hours after jawline contouring. We also recommend protecting yourself from any heat sources that could increase your body temperature, including sunlight. Avoid sunbathing, saunas and any intensive exercise. Lastly, we recommend not wearing any make-up for 24 hours post-treatment and applying topical treatments as recommended by a professional.

Combining jawline contouring with other treatments

Whilst we wouldn’t recommend having jawline contouring after other aesthetic medical treatments like laser treatments, you can combine it with hyaluronic acid in other facial zones. You could even opt for a full face treatment, including fillers at the temples, correcting deep-set wrinkles or crow’s feet, improving your nasal profile, removing eye bags, and reducing marionette lines or elevens, among others.
