Beauty standards are by nature ever-changing. Thousands of years have shaped what humans would like to look, smell, and dress like. If there is one feature that has always been revered and stayed a beauty constant, it is the chiseled, god-like jawline. Even social media has employed filters that make people’s jawlines look more prominent and defined in the pursuit of the square chin.
Let us help you obtain the Holy Grail of features, here are eight ways to step your jawline game up!
A well-defined jaw with a soft curve of neck skin and fat characterizes an attractive neck. This is not only version that has the most aesthetic appeal, but it also gives one the appearance of being more youthful. A successful outcome can be achieved without it being so tight that the patient resembles a pulled balloon.
Doctors have previously recommended a technique that involves the pairing of liposuction of the chin and neck, the areas surrounding and framing the jawline. Doctors we have spoken to have favored J-plasma and Vaser for the purpose of liposuction.
This approach produces more striking, predictable outcomes with less downtime. Dermatologists claim that patients with mild to moderate extra fat beneath the chin and jawline respond best to submental (under-chin) liposuction with radiofrequency assisted lipectomy.
The ideal way of getting a well-defined jawline is to create a well-pronounced distinction between it and the neck. Filler is far from being a permanent solution but it offers great results for up to 18 months. This built-in reversibility is a great compromise for people who are looking to get substantial results but are still unsure about getting actual surgery to install permanent jaw implants.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are perfect in this instance because of the wide availability of Hyaluronidase which is used to dissolve HA fillers.
The goal is to give the jaw a smooth appearance, which is achieved by adding filler after liposculpting the jawbone. We either employ Radiesse or Restylane; the latter being a biostimulatory filler that primarily functions by promoting collagen synthesis over the long run. In contrast to the extreme volume you get from HA fillers, it provides more of a lifting and sculpting impact.
While implants are a viable option, they still require a serious surgical procedure and a quite long recovery period. They also are a permanent solution. Patients requiring reconstructive surgery or those with severe abnormalities frequently receive implants. Dermal fillers should be used for subtler modifications. They make it simple to modify and update appearances when patients' ideals shift.
Chin implants are a great tool for creating facial equilibrium, according to doctors, and for certain patients, they complement rhinoplasty effectively. Silicone chin implants can be placed without leaving scars even though plastic surgery is required to place them.
Dermatologists occasionally utilize temporary fillers to enhance the chin to give patients a sneak peek at the final outcome before deciding to undergo surgical chin augmentation. As we’ve mentioned before, implants are a great option, although doctors still prefer to keep them in their holsters unless treating patients with severe anomalies requiring reconstructive procedures.
AQUALYX (Deoxycholic Acid) is a less invasive way to define the jawline by decreasing fat under the chin (Aqualyx is equivalent to Kybella). It is an injection of a chemical that damages fat cells to break down fat; once these cells are destroyed, the body is unable to store or maintain fat. This results in a noticeable reduction of the extra fat and fullness under the chin, enhancing the chin profile. Enhancing the contours of the chin and neck is the aim of the surgery. When considering Kybella, one should be aware of its negative effects. It frequently requires three or four treatments in a row and might cause discomfort and swelling.
Neurotoxins
Another injectable that can be used to help define the jawline is Botox. By relaxing the masseter muscle that connects the lower jawbone and cheekbone, Botox injections into the jaw muscles are primarily used to treat TMJ and/or jaw pain. An extremely prevalent cause of increased stress on the jaw joint is masseter muscle hypertrophy. Botox can relieve the pain by reducing the force this muscle puts on the joint.
When the jawline is particularly muscular, the aesthetic side effect is a slimming of the jawline because Botox causes the muscle to atrophy and lose bulk.
Because so many units are needed to treat this larger muscle, keep in mind that Botox injections in the jaw area might be expensive. Typically, injections are given anywhere between the lower jaw and the area above the ear and temple. Although results can continue for up to six months, with time you could require less Botox to get the same effect.
A neck lift is the pinnacle of jawline-defining operations, they can tighten the platysma muscle, lift sagging skin, and remove extra fat, effectively eradicating "turkey neck" and reducing years off the area.
Neck lifts are sometimes combined with facelifts, brow lifts, or other facial surgeries, which dramatically raises the cost compared to nonsurgical options, but the results typically last up to 15 years.
If you want to enhance your jaw, and whole face in the process, you might consider face yoga, a great alternative that requires no medical intervention whatsoever.
Face yoga is a fantastic, all-natural approach to help you look young again or keep it that way. It works very well for contouring the lower face and jawline. Additionally, while it is a simple stand-alone remedy, it also makes a wonderful addition to any actual cosmetic procedures one may have undergone. It can be thought of as self-administered maintenance.
The idea behind face yoga is straightforward. The objective is to relax the tired muscles while simultaneously reviving the "dormant" muscles of the face, which simply sit there and don't move much. A raised appearance to the cheek and jaw can be achieved by simultaneously waking up the cheek muscles and relaxing the depressor anguli oris muscles at the sides of the mouth as it relates to the jawline.
So, Precisely How Do You Do That? Try These Three Simple Face-Yoga Poses.
It starts with you making an “oh” face followed by an “ah” face. Then, smile broadly so that your eight top teeth are visible and resting on your bottom lip. After ten seconds, release the tension and repeat it two or three times. By helping to awaken and lift the cheek muscles that are dormant, everything below, including the jaw, seems to be lifted.
Tongue stretch:
Rolling your shoulders back three times, pushing them down, and gently looking upward, tilting your head back will help. Keep your eyes closed and extend your tongue all the way to the ceiling. Hold for ten seconds, then do it twice or three times. This is a fantastic method for assisting in the appearance of a double chin removal. If you have neck pain, you should avoid doing this.
The most crucial aspect of face yoga is how your facial muscles are positioned while they are at rest. You should always keep your tongue firmly pressed on the roof of your mouth. Your tongue should be pushed up unless you are speaking, eating, or drinking. Try taking a sideways glance at your face. You can rapidly lift everything and lessen the look of a double chin by pushing your tongue up. Comparable to instant Kybella.
In a similar vein, when your face is at rest, there should always be a small gap between your upper and lower teeth. By doing this, the strain on the strained masseter muscles—which eventually result in jowls—can be considerably lessened. Be mindful of lifting the corners of your mouth a little. They tend to descend if you're not looking closely. Elevating the cheekbones intentionally, even by a millimeter, maintains their elevation and creates the illusion of a more defined jawline.
