What can help to slim down lower face area and give a more defined jawline? (Photos)

Question

I have a round face shape and I hate it. However, I am interested in exploring fillers, especially if they can help with my jawline area. I have had kybella under my chin but I think the problem area is jowls? Or neck? But the lower face. Will Botox or filler help to slim this down and give a defined jawline? Any recommendations on any treatments before I spend money on something?

Hello! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center.  If you're looking to slim the lower face and define your jawline, a combination of TMJ Botox and Volux filler can really help.  TMJ Botox relaxes the masseter muscles (especially if they're overactive), which can slim the face over time.  Volux is a dermal filler designed specifically for the jawline and chin area, it adds definition and structure.

There are several effective, non-surgical ways to refine the lower face and create a more defined jawline. The right approach depends on whether fullness is coming from muscle, skin laxity, or volume distribution. • Masseter Botox: If the lower face looks wide due to strong chewing muscles, relaxing the masseters with Botox can slim and taper the jawline. • Advanced Skin Tightening (Morpheus8 or other RF microneedling technologies): These treatments stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and reduce heaviness along the jaw and under the chin, helping sharpen definition. • Dermal Fillers for Contour: Placed strategically in the chin or jawline, fillers can lengthen, project, and balance the profile &mdash; making the lower face look slimmer and more sculpted. • Combination Approach: The best results often come from combining therapies &mdash; for example, masseter Botox to narrow, paired with skin tightening and filler for contour.
A consultation is essential to determine if your main concern is muscle activity, skin laxity, or volume balance. From there, a customized treatment plan can be designed for the most natural and defined result.

Liposuction to get a sharp jawline and get rid of those nasty jowls followed by facetite RF and morpheus to tighten up the skin a lot all done at once under local is your best option. Cost is roughly on special for $5000 and so easy to undergo with quick results.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You can consider Masseter Botox to help slim the appearance of the lower face.  Fillers such as Volux which are designed for the jawline can help with contouring.  Other options such as Morpheus8 use RF technology combined with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Full face frontal and profile views in repose (not smiling or emoting) would have provided more information to creating an appropriate nonsurgical treatment plan. 
Generally speaking, however, robust HA volumizing and lifting fillers can be used to create a more oval, heart-shaped face (a nice Ogee Curve) when injected properly by an expert in the upper outer cheeks region. Additionally, a robust HA contouring filler injected properly in the region of the angles of the jawline can help to better define and straighten the jawline and diminish jowling along the jawline.
Botox injections spaced evenly along the jawline and the upper neck can help to further tighten the jawline and upper neckline. in the hands of an expert injector all of the foregoing can be performed in under 30 minutes. The results are typically immediate and the treatments engender little to no significant downtime and  My last patient yesterday had all of this and more performed in one treatment session and left for a business meeting two hours later.
You would be wise to make sure to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist injection expert and best of luck.
