I am a 25 year old male seeking a significantly wider, better defined jaw line. Would 2-3 injections of a filler like Radiesse be able to make much of a difference? I'm wondering if its even worth the cost to try injectables or if I will likely be better off saving for implants.

Jaw enhancement

Fillers will be expensive, esp for that large of an area. You may want to try it out initially to see how it would look though and then save your money for the more permanent solution.

Fillers or implants for jaw definition

Most Fillers can be used quite well to create definition for the jaw and chin, but the safe ones provide only a temporary improvement. Permanent fillers might migrate and there can be large lumps that form years later, such as with silicone injections. Implants can provide a permanent improvement but there are risks of nerve injury, shifting of the implant, infection and bone resorption. See an experienced plastic surgeon who can describe the treatment and discuss the risks and benefits... more

Facial contour enhancements with injectable fillers

Injectable fillers, by themselves, may be a great way to enhance your skeletal structures for subtle changes requiring small volumes, but large volume changes will require you to consider surgical implants or bone rearrangements.

Radiesse can be used to sculpt the face as an alternative to implants

You've asked a great question, with real insight into how newer injectables might be used. Radiesse can be used to sculpt the face by placing the filler deeply along the bony prominences rather than in the skin. Radiesse is preferred for this type of treatment over hyaluronic acids such as Juvederm or Restylane. Be sure you see an experienced injector for advanced techniques such at this one, though. Cost effectiveness depends on how much of an enhancement you need or desire. Implants... more

Options to define a jaw line

Fillers can fill out and define a jawline quite effectively. The drawback is the effect is not permanent. I would suggest trying the fillers such as Radiesse to your jawline, and see if you like the look it creates. If you do, then discuss some permanent options such as chin and mandibular angle implants for a more permanent solution. Good luck and Best wishes.
