I'm 22 and Was Wondering Whether Jaw Fillers Such As Juvederm Voluma Would Be Good? Alot of Practices in Uk Do Not Do It?

so basically one side of my mandable jaw beneath the ear (the corner of jaw) is much more defined so when viewing from the front it is abit square and is wide, protudes out more however the other side it goes abit in so when viewing from front is doenst stick out as much and doesnt look as wide and sometimes makes my face look wonky...i was wondering whether putting filler on that side would be a good idea? Alot of practices in UK do not even do it becuase its some sort of advanced treatment?

Filler for the Jaw Line

Yes, you can certainly use filler for that. However, it is not that great to try and simulate bone (a hard substance) by injecting soft tissue filler into the overlying soft tissue. You won't get good definition and when you talk or chew it won't match the other side, even if it matches when you are at rest. The best option here is to have an implant. In your case (with the asymmetry) I would suggest you consider a CT scan of the jaw, and then constructing a... more
