A: Radiesse works great on the jaw line

Radiesse works great along the jaw line. It should last about a year on this area. However, my patients tell me that it is a bit more uncomfortable getting Radiesse injections along the jawline than some of the other products.

A: Radiesse works well along the jaw line

By David Shafer, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Babs, Radiesse is very effective along the jaw line. It needs to be injected in a deeper plane than normal, and then cross threaded. However, the results are very nice.

Fillers in general work well to camouflage this area. The ideal treatment is usually surgical addressing the jowl area during the face lift. However, Radiesse on the jaw line is an effiicent non-surgical method.

A: The jaw line is the best place for Radiesse

By Mary Lupo, MD - New Orleans Dermatologist

I use all the FDA approved fillers and Radiesse is the best in the marionette and jawline. Hands down. Radiesse is mor eof a structural filler than hyaluronic acid and therefore gives the support and shape these areas need.

A: Radiesse is great for contouring the jaw line

By Michelle Copeland, MD, DMD - New York City Plastic Surgeon

Calcium hydroxylapatite (commonly referred to as Radiesse) is firmer than most fillers, so it’s a frequent fix for deep, deep groves and to enhance bony contours, such as the jawline. Know that this product typically lasts anywhere between 12 and 24 months. But buyer beware; injection techniques can vary... more

A: Radiesse and Juvederm are both great for the jaw line

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

To Babs12, Hi! This is one of our most successful non invasive procedures. As we age, a little dent develops between the chin and the jowl which is called the "pre-jowl sulcus". This is easily filled in with one syringe of either Juvederm or Radiesse. It really cleans up... more
