Kylie’s lips are still hot right now but the most requested procedure I get asked to perform is the strong and defined, yet feminine jawline. No one wants saggy chins and women in their thirties have realised if they get in early they can slow or hold off the dreaded jowls of their mothers. These savvy women know prevention is key, and they are not afraid to invest in themselves.
The structured, and defined jawline is incredibly beautiful. Not many of us are blessed with the genetics of the Angelina’s of the world, but as Bella Hadid has shown us with the right amount of cosmetic assistance we can achieve really beautiful natural results.
Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes here. The treatment plan needs to takes into account your age, genetics, facial anatomy and lifestyle, and then works with you to achieve your desired outcome. From my experience, the best results are achieved with a combination of anti-wrinkle injections, lipodissolve products, dermal fillers, and plasma. Understanding your individual needs and the right treatment plan can make a huge difference not only to the jawline, and the dreaded double chin but also to your confidence and self esteem.
For example, if the client has a recessed or weak chin, I will start with 3mls of premium TGA approved dermal fillers to strengthen, support and correct the deficiency. Then I move to the jawline to crisp and define the bone. Hyaluronic dermal fillers work best when they are administered slowly and the body has time to integrate the filler into the layers of the skin. I like to stage this work and build upon results, that way you are less likely to end up with a puffy face, or bulky masculine jawline. Treatments are usually spread out over 2-3 months with results continuing to get better up to 6 months later, while lasting up to 18 months. These treatments are usually coupled with muscle relaxing anti wrinkle injections to stop the downward pull of the face. Known as the Nephriti Lift, it is also a wonderful standalone treatment to prevent or slow the jowls, and as a part of the maintenance regime after your jawline filler to ensure longevity of results.
There are several factors that contribute to this stubborn pocket of fat. It can be caused by weight gain, the ageing process, volume loss and sagging of facial tissues and most commonly genetics. This sub-mental fat pocket is increasingly difficult to shift with diet and exercise alone. Previously, your only options were invasive surgery such as a neck or face lift, and/or liposuction. Fortunately, today we have other non invasive treatments that can achieve great results without the risks associated with anaesthesia of surgery, no long recovery time and no dreaded telltale scars.
TGA approved Fat dissolving injections are a safe, permanent and effective option especially for clients who are not keen on surgery. Deoxycholic acid, is the active ingredient in fat dissolving injections. It is a man made form of a substance that naturally occurs in your body. Specifically designed to treat sub-mental fat, the deoxycholic acid is injected into the fat and permanently destroys these fat cells by the process known as adipocytolysis. Once the fat cells have been destroyed they cannot store fat again. Treatments are safe, pain free and generally performed in a standard appointment time. Between 3-6 sessions are usually required however this does depend on individual needs. There is some expected down time with regards to swelling, and possible bruising but it is generally minimal and resolves in 5-7 days.
It takes patience, meticulous attention to detail and a skilled hand to ensure the overall harmony of facial features and balance. Facial contours and curves, shadows and highlights and enhanced features that complement, not distract look effortlessly beautiful. For me, this is always the goal. Understanding facial anatomy, and having access to various treatment modalities ensures I can perfectly tailor a treatment plan to achieve the jawline of your dreams, visit our Lipodissolve page to find out more contact us here.

As a cosmetic nurse injector, I constantly get asked “is this anti-wrinkle injection going to freeze me”, or “will I look like those girls off MAFS.”
