The jawline is one of the most important aspects of a person’s face. It helps define our identity, and it’s also one of the first things that we notice about people we meet. As we age, there are several factors that can affect our jawline and make us look older than we feel; this includes genetics and lifestyle choices like smoking or drinking heavily. While you can take care of your health by eating right and exercising regularly, there are also non-invasive treatments that can be performed quickly to help give you back your youthful appearance.
What are Jaw Fillers?
According to Luxe Lips, a beauty clinic that provides jaw fillers in Melbourne, jaw fillers is injectable materials that are used to improve the appearance of the jawline. They’re also sometimes used to fill in sunken cheeks, which can be a sign of ageing or other issues like weight loss or illness.
The injections are usually administered into the subcutaneous fat just below your skin, so they won’t be visible once they’re done. This makes them more subtle than other types of cosmetic surgery, but that doesn’t mean you should expect them to work forever.
While filler lasts longer than many other cosmetic procedures (like Botox), it still degrades over time and needs to be redone every few years or so – so don’t think you’ll never have another one again after your first one.
Non-surgical fillers
Non-surgical fillers are a great option for people who don’t want surgery but still want to get their temporary jawline. They’re injected into the jaw, and they last around 6 months. The cost of non-surgical fillers varies depending on where you have them done, but expect to pay somewhere between $800 and $5000 per session.
Side effects can include bruising and swelling at first that usually goes away within a few days or weeks after the procedure is done.
Surgical jaw fillers
Surgical jaw fillers, also known as hyaluronic acid (HA) or calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), are injected into the mouth. They can be used to treat many things, including:
- A receding chin and/or jowls
- A crooked smile
- The loss of volume in your face due to age or weight loss
Surgical jaw fillers are usually done in a hospital or clinic. While they’re more expensive than non-surgical fillers, the results last longer and you don’t have to worry about side effects like bruising or swelling. Surgical jaw fillers can be done in one session or over multiple sessions—it depends on what your doctor recommends for you.
The cost of jaw fillers and injections
The cost of a jaw filler injection varies depending on the area of the face that is being treated. It can range from $1500 to $4500, with an average cost of around $2500. If you’re looking to get jaw fillers in your upper or lower lip, that will cost around $1000 per injection. Jaw fillers are also performed in other areas of your face as well, such as cheeks and temples; these treatments tend to be more expensive than just getting them in your lips or jawline alone.
What causes jawline loss?
If you have a receding jawline, there’s a good chance that it’s just a natural part of ageing. You may also notice that your skin sags and wrinkles more than when you were younger. But if you’re concerned about the appearance of your jawline, there are things you can do to reduce the severity of any sagging or loss in fullness.
In addition to genetics and age, other factors might cause your jawline to lose density and volume over time:
- Hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy or menopause can cause changes in facial fat deposits, resulting in excess skin
- Smoking does damage cells as well as weakened bones. It also affects how collagen holds together over time
- Drinking alcohol excessively is bad for health overall—including causing short-term dehydration which slows down cell regeneration
Talk to your doctor
The best way to get the most out of your jawline filler treatment is by talking to your doctor. After all, you wouldn’t want to fill in your cheek with an eyebrow filler or inject a smile line with lips. A doctor will help make sure that you are getting the right type of filler for your face and they can also advise on what kind of filler will be best suited for you.
Conclusion
It’s important to know what to expect from jaw fillers and injections. If you’re considering this treatment option, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of jaw fillers. They can help restore a healthy, youthful profile that complements your smile—and make you feel confident again.
