Jawline Contouring

Service Description

WHAT IT IS Jawline contouring at Dr Selvi Clinic in Brighton uses hyaluronic acid filler along the jaw border and at the jaw angle to add definition and a cleaner line between the face and the neck. It is a Classic Range treatment, planned and carried out by Dr Selvi after a free initial consultation and assessment. The Classic Range uses established hyaluronic acid fillers. Along the jaw, a firmer gel is chosen because it needs to hold its shape against bone. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT Jaw definition depends largely on bone structure and soft-tissue support, so it often does not change with diet or exercise. Filler can strengthen the angle and straighten the border, which changes the profile from the side as well as the front. It is popular with both men and women, and it can also soften the appearance of early jowling. WHAT WE AIM FOR A clearer jaw border and better-defined angles that suit your face shape: stronger and squarer where that fits, finer and tapered where a softer shape is wanted, without making the lower face look heavy. WHO IT SUITS · A jaw border that has become less distinct · A weak or rounded jaw angle · Early jowling softening the line of the jaw · Men and women wanting a more defined profile · Those considering chin and jawline treatment together for overall balance TREATMENT DETAILS Treatment time: Typically 30–45 minutes Discomfort: Numbing cream applied; most fillers also contain local anaesthetic Downtime: Mild swelling and tenderness for 2–3 days; bruising possible Final result: 1–2 weeks, once swelling has settled Duration: Typically 6–12 months, sometimes longer, depending on the product used Review: At two to four weeks Vascular mapping: Optional for the jawline; available on request FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How much filler will I need? It depends on your bone structure, the definition you want and whether the chin is treated too. The jaw is a larger area than the lips or nose, so it can need more product, and some people prefer to build it over two appointments. Dr Selvi will give you a plan and cost after assessment. Should the chin be treated at the same time? Often it helps. The chin and jaw read as one line from the side, and a chin that sits back can make the jaw look weaker. Dr Selvi will look at the profile as a whole before suggesting either. Will it make my face look wider? Not when the volume is matched to your face. Product is placed to define the border and the angle rather than to add bulk, and Dr Selvi will explain where extra width would or would not suit you. What are the risks? Common effects are swelling, tenderness and some bruising. Rarely, filler can block or press on a blood vessel, called a vascular occlusion, which can harm the skin that vessel supplies if it is not treated quickly. The jawline is a lower-risk area than the nose or under-eyes, but Dr Selvi still plans entry points carefully and keeps hyaluronidase on site to treat a problem immediately. Can it be reversed? Yes. Because it is hyaluronic acid, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if there is a complication, or if you decide you do not like the result once it has settled. Classic or Premium Jawline Contouring? Both use hyaluronic acid and both are given by Dr Selvi. The Premium Range uses specific branded gels, while the Classic Range uses established hyaluronic acid fillers. Dr Selvi will advise which suits your jaw; the more expensive option is not automatically the better one. Who will treat me?
