Jawline Contouring

Facial aesthetics can play a big role in how happy a person is with their overall appearance, and a profile that is well-defined with features that are balanced and in proportion with each other is often desired.

What to expect on the day

When approaching jawline contouring from a surgical perspective there are a variety of procedures that can be considered. We assess your specific concerns at a private consultation where we will decide which procedures will be most suitable.

If excess fat under the chin is causing a heavy look to the lower face, we may suggest liposuction which works to remove fatty deposits to slim the area around the neck and expose less skin. A face lift can help to restore a youthful look when sagging skin is hanging around the jawline. This procedure helps to lift and tighten the skin on various areas of the face, smoothing the skin and restoring facial contours. Our surgeons can also slim the jaw when the natural bone structure is perceived to be too wide, shaving the bone so the lower face looks slimmer. Chin implants may be considered when a long-term solution for improving the appearance of a weak chin is required. This can add volume to the chin so it protrudes in-line with the nose and mouth and alters the contouring of the lower face.

Showering after jawline contouring.

When you can shower after jawline contouring will largely depend on the type of procedure that you have undergone. We typically advise that all wounds have healed sufficiently before you get them wet, usually when dressings have been removed.

Follow up and aftercare.

With any surgical procedure we arrange to see you 5 – 7 days after the procedure. We also review your recovery at around 6 weeks and, depending on the procedure, at 3 months. During each appointment we will provide you with great aftercare advice so that you heal successfully and achieve the desired result.

Frequently Asked Questions

In many cases a surgical procedure will provide long-term solutions to your concerns, which may even be permanent. It is important to consider with ageing-related concerns that the structure of the face will continue to change over time, which may affect the results in the future. 

Jawline contouring can be performed alongside other procedures, especially when thinking about improving the entire facial profile, or when rejuvenating the whole of the face. This can be discussed at consultation, and the experts at REAL plastic surgery can recommend which procedures will be most suitable.

Surgical procedures usually require an incision to be made in the skin, which will incur some scarring. REAL plastic surgery uses advanced surgical techniques which considers where scars will appear, and ensures they are as discreet as possible.
