What Is Jawline Contouring?

Jawline contouring is a term that refers to several techniques used to slim and define the jawline and improve a double chin. This creates a more symmetrical profile, as well as reverses signs of aging.

Depending on what you would like done, jawline contouring can range from minimally-invasive injections to surgical implants. Because there are many options to consider with jawline contouring, Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz will evaluate your needs and help you decide which option is best for you. He’ll then customize your procedure to help ensure you get the results you’re looking for.

Should I Get Jawline Contouring?

Due to aging and/or genetics, the elasticity of the jawline can weaken and create jowls.

This can make you look older and affect the overall balance of your face, causing you to feel uncomfortable or even lacking self-esteem. If you find yourself with excess chin fullness, lacking a defined jawline, or a combination of the two - jawline contouring with Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz may be the answer you’ve been searching for. Jawline contouring can restore your self-confidence and raise your self-esteem by reshaping your face to give it a sharper appearance.

What to Expect During Jawline Contouring

Different jawline contouring techniques take different amounts of time depending on your aesthetic goals and facial anatomy. Generally speaking, jawline contouring is considered outpatient surgery and you will be home the same day.

The procedures themselves can take as little as half an hour (for dermal fillers) and up to a few hours to complete (for VASERLipo and other minimally-invasive techniques). Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz performs all facial surgery under local and/or twilight sedation. Without the use of general anesthesia, bruising, swelling and recovery times are substantially minimized.

If dermal fillers are being used for Jawline Contouring, a topical anesthetic may be applied 15-30 minutes prior to your procedure for ultimate comfort.

The Jawline Contouring Procedure

Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz offers different options for jawline contouring.

Submental VASER Lipo

This is a procedure that uses ultrasound waves to target stubborn areas of fat in your body - in this case, your submental area (under your chin). The sound waves break up and liquify fat cells, making them easier to be extracted via liposuction through small incisions in your skin. VASER stands for “Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance” - meaning your results will be smoother and more consistent than standard liposuction.

J-Plasma

This is a minimally-invasive procedure meant to tighten your skin through the application of cold plasma energy under your skin. Your body instantly reacts, contracting and shrinking the targeted cells, which tightens your skin. J-Plasma is typically used in conjunction with your VASER Lipo procedure to provide you with enhanced results.

Chin Implant

This surgical procedure, also known as chin augmentation or genioplasty, involves the use of an implant that is placed around the existing chin bone. This increases the size of the chin and changes its shape. This also improves the overall contours of the jawline and neck.

Fat Grafting

This is a minimally-invasive procedure in which fat is taken from another part of your body (usually the tummy or inner thigh) and injected under the skin along your jaw, chin, or neck. This provides a more chiseled jawline and improved contouring. Unlike dermal fillers that only last 1-2 years in the body, fat grafting is a more permanent solution to volume loss.

Jawline Contouring FAQ

When should you get jawline contouring?

If you have noticed a changing profile from sagging skin along your jaw, chin, and neck, and find you’re unhappy with your appearance, jawline contouring can help correct these changes. While both aging and genetics contribute to changes in your face, jawline contouring can help address and restore facial harmony.

Is jawline contouring painful?

While you will likely feel tender and somewhat sore after your procedure, there is likely to be little pain. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers, or talk to Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz about a pain prescription if you feel you need one.

Will you have scars?

Any time there is an incision, there will be a resulting scar. However, Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz will minimize scarring in how he places the incisions. They will also fade over time. If you have a minimally-invasive procedure such as dermal fillers, there should be no scars.

How long does it take to recover?

You will likely have some bruising that can last several days. There will also be swelling that can take up to several weeks to fully subside. If you have a nonsurgical or minimally-invasive procedure, recovery times are short and you’ll be able to return to your normal activities within a few days after treatment. Surgical procedures will take longer, so plan to be off work or other obligations for at least 7-10 days.

How much does jawline contouring cost?

Because jawline contouring is a blanket term for different procedures, the cost will vary for each one. There are financing and payment options available, which you can discuss during your call or consultation.

Am I a Candidate for Jawline Contouring?

Dr. Rodríguez-Feliz requires that any patient interested in having jawline contouring in Miami have a consultation before surgery to establish general eligibility. Please note that if you have any excessive jowls, you may not be a good candidate. Patients should also be in reasonably good health.
