A: Radiesse along the jawline is a good option

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

I am generally pleased with the results of Radiesse along the jawline. More specifically I tend to use this along the chin and "pre-jowl" (also called the marionette lines). Perlane is also a reasonable product to use . Alternatively, fat injections are another option.

Best indications for Radiesse are in the nasolabial folds, jaw line and chin. Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that last approximately 12 - 18 months. Radiesse can cause lumpiness in the lips and should be avoided. Radiesse has few side effects - lumping, bruising and swelling.

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

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. Because of the deeper injections, it is possible that you may have a few days of bruising after the injections, but it is well worth it.

A: Radiesse can work well but needs several treatments.

Manish H. Shah, MD

Radiesse is an injectible filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found in tooth enamel. It is biocompatible with our bodies. When used in areas to increase volume such as the jawline, good results require several treatments over the course of a year. In a typical syringe of Radiesse, 70% of the... more

A: Radiesse on the area works well as a temporary effect

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD

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: It depends

Stella Desyatnikova, MD

It really depends on what you are trying to achieve along the jaw line. If you want to fill in a defect, it might be a good option. In general we prefer Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus, but many surgeons use Radiesse as well with good results. If you are trying to improve jowls, it might work for a mild case,... more

A: The jaw line is the best place for Radiesse

Mary Lupo, MD

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

Michelle Copeland, MD, DMD

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

George J. Beraka, MD

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
