Jawline

For early loss of contour, 2.0–3.0 ml; for moderate loss, 3.0–4.0 ml; for pronounced loss, sometimes 4.0–6.0 ml total — often spread across 1–2 sessions. Flat prices per area are not offered at this practice, because the anatomical situation and sex-typical profile are individual. Exact planning happens at the initial consultation.

Fundamentally, both structurally and aesthetically. In men, the gonial angle is emphasized with a firmer bolus, the contour line runs straighter, and the transition to the neck is more angular. In women, the contour line is more curved, the transition softer, the definition more restrained. Both treatments follow different anatomical ideals — sex-specific counseling is part of our initial consultation.

Hyaluronic acid filler in the lower jaw area typically lasts 12–18 months, hydroxylapatite-based filler 18–24 months. The longer duration compared with the lip results from lower tissue metabolism and a largely static region.

Right after treatment, redness, swelling and occasionally bruising can occur. These typically resolve within 5–10 days — the jawline sees more movement than the cheek, which can make bruising more noticeable. A normal workday the next day is usually possible; avoid intense sport and sauna for 48 hours. For social occasions, allow at least 1–2 weeks beforehand.

With combined numbing cream, a nerve block where needed, and lidocaine-containing filler, the treatment is well tolerated. For particularly sensitive patients, the anesthesiology support can be extended — a direct benefit of a physician-led practice.

Common reactions: swelling, redness, bruising (more common on the jawline than elsewhere). Rare but serious complications: intravascular injection with vessel occlusion, puncture of the mental nerve with temporary sensory disturbance. Made very unlikely at this practice through standardized safety protocols (aspiration test, microcannula, anatomical point marking).

With hyaluronic acid fillers, yes — using hyaluronidase (see hyaluronidase treatment). With hydroxylapatite fillers, not directly reversible; the material is resorbed in a controlled way over 18–24 months. Reversibility is part of the material choice discussed at the initial consultation.

We use exclusively approved, highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers from established manufacturers. The specific product choice is made at the initial consultation based on indication and desired duration of effect. Brand names are not advertised on the website — a factual tone fits this practice's approach.

Filler adds volume and structure — replacing lost bone or tissue profile. HIFU tightens the skin without adding volume. Thread lifting lifts mechanically. For loss of contour and profile deficit, filler is the indication; for pure skin laxity, HIFU tends to make more sense. A combination is often strategically correct — this assessment happens at the initial consultation.

Yes — and this is very often sensible. The chin and jawline form one anatomical unit; treating them together gives a more harmonious lower-face definition than treating them in isolation. Can be done in the same appointment or staged — see chin augmentation.
