THE BENEFITS OF JAWLINE CONTOURING FOR MEN

 

The Jawline Contouring, i.e. jaw injections for men, offers several advantages:

  • Accentuating masculine features to create a more angular jaw, clearer and more assertive.
  • Correct poorly defined or asymmetrical jaws the jawline homme allows

    can become less precise. Hyaluronic acid helps to
    restore lost volume and redefine the jaw line.
  • Alternative to orthognathic surgery or implants for patients who
    do not wish to undergo major surgery.

 

ANATOMY AND SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE JAWLINE IN HUMANS

 

Anatomically, the male face is distinguished by :

  • Stronger bones ;
  • A straighter mandibular angle;
  • A wider jaw;
  • A more prominent chin.

Injecting hyaluronic acid in a man's jaw offers the possibility of highlighting these features, without altering the balance of the face.

 

DID YOU KNOW?
Prior to a Jawline contouring session, the patient's chin should be taken into account: a well-positioned chin greatly enhances the jawline. In the case of a receding chin, it is advisable to consider simultaneous correction of the chin and jawline.

 

JAWLINE MALE CONTOURING INJECTION TECHNIQUE

 

The treatment of’jaw injection for a man is based on targeted injections of hyaluronic acid, a viscoelastic gel naturally present in the body and perfectly absorbable.

The session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.

Course of a hyaluronic acid injection session in the jaw :

  1. Clinical evaluation morphological analysis of the face, taking photos and defining the areas to be treated.
  2. Injection The surgeon injects the product into the mandibular angle using a fine cannula.
  3. Immediate results You'll be able to see the results as soon as the procedure is over.

The number of injection points and the volume of product injected depend on the individual face. Jawline injections can be combined with additional chin injections (jawline contouring & double chin) to enhance facial harmony and strengthen the jaw.

 

JAWLINE CONTOURING VS. OTHER JAW SHAPING TECHNIQUES

 

There are other techniques for obtaining square jaw in a man, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:

  • Orthognathic surgery or facial implants These definitive but invasive techniques require general anaesthesia and a relatively long recovery period. They are suitable for patients seeking permanent, more drastic jaw modifications.
  • Cervical liposuction, bichectomy, cryolipolysis They reduce fatty volumes (chin, jowls) and make the jawline more visible, but they do not provide the same precision in highlighting bony structures.
  • Botox injection (botulinum toxin) Hyaluronic acid: used to reduce the volume of the masseters (jaw muscles) to refine a face that's too square or too wide, it doesn't create bone projection and doesn't achieve the same definition of the mandibular line as hyaluronic acid injections.

Jawline contouring with hyaluronic acid is therefore the the most flexible method to reinforce visible bone structure without major surgery.

 

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM JAWLINE CONTOURING?

 

Jawline contouring is suitable for a wide variety of men, in particular:

  • Young adults who wish to accentuate their jawline for aesthetic or professional reasons (e.g. models, influencers, athletes).
  • Men over 40 to compensate for the loss of tissue tone associated with ageing.
  • Patients with natural asymmetry of the jaw or a mandibular projection defect.
  • People who do not wish to undergo surgery jawline homme gives you an idea of the permanent results that can be achieved following cosmetic surgery.
  • Athletes or models who want to enhance their image to meet today's aesthetic standards.

 

WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS?

  • Swelling Infections: frequent after an injection session, occurring in the first 24 hours and disappearing after a few days.
  • Bruises Injections: slight, they may appear at the injection site if the skin is sensitive or if the injection has been made close to blood vessels.
  • Temporary asymmetry caused by uneven distribution of the product, it resolves spontaneously after a few days to a few weeks.
  • Infections They are rare, but can occur if post-injection care is not properly followed.

 

Contraindications:

  • History of allergy to hyaluronic acid or any of its excipients.
  • Coagulation disorders or use of anticoagulants.
  • Active skin infections of the face.

WHAT IS THE POST-TREATMENT FOLLOW-UP?

 

After the session, the patient must :

  • Avoid touching the injected areas for at least 24 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and saunas/hammams for 24 to 48 hours.

WHAT IS THE DURATION OF RESULTS AND FREQUENCY OF TOUCH-UPS?

 

The effects of jawline contouring are temporary and long-lasting between 12 and 18 months. Several factors influence results over time :

  • Metabolism People with a fast metabolism tend to absorb the product more quickly.
  • Physical activity Accelerated blood circulation during sports sessions speeds up product absorption.
  • Smoking Smoking often accelerates product resorption. It also affects skin quality.
  • Type of product used the higher the quality of the filler used, the longer it will remain in the tissue.

MALE AESTHETIC TRENDS AND THE INFLUENCE OF CELEBRITIES

 

In recent years, stars such as Brad Pitt, Henry Cavill and Timothée Chalamet have strongly influenced today's beauty standards and contributed to the democratization of jawline contouring.

As a result, more and more modern men are seeking a sculpted, perfectly defined profile. In fact, jawline contouring has become a popular method of achieving this goal, particularly among the younger generation.

According to the’ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeon), Men accounted for 6 % of aesthetic procedures in 2023. Face and neck procedures grew by 9 %, surpassing the growth of these same procedures among women.

This trend shows that cosmetic surgery is no longer considered taboo among men. In fact, these procedures seem to respond to professional issues: the facelift has seen an increase of 17 %, the rhinoplasty of 10 % and blepharoplasty of 9 %.

The rising retirement age is probably encouraging men to maintain a youthful, dynamic appearance in a competitive job market. Similarly, it's not surprising to see an increase in the use of hyaluronic acid injections, notably for jawline contouring or for removing dark circles with hyaluronic acid.

 

GOOD TO KNOW
Every face is unique, and it's not always possible, or desirable, to try to look like a celebrity at all costs.

 

PRICE OF JAWLINE CONTOURING FOR MEN

  • Average price range between 600 and €900 per session.
  • Touch-ups may be necessary, in particular to optimize the result or prolong its effect.
