Can fillers be used in the jaw line to make a square shaped face more heart shaped?

Thank you for question. Fillers are an excellent way to re-shape and contour the face. Fillers can be used in conjunction with Botox to result in a thinner facial appearance. Be sure to schedule a consultation with a skilled and experienced provider.

Filler can be used in the chin and the angle of the jaw to change from square to heart shaped or vice versa. Botox can be used in the masseter to help slim the jaw if needed. 

Great question.  You can achieve the best results with combined therapy with injectable fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm.  Botox can also help to reshape the cheeks and address masseteric hypertrophy. This is known as a "liquid face lift".  Please see an expert in dermatology or plastic surgery for best results. I hope this helps.

You can achieve the best results with combined therapy with injectable fillers,  Botox, and possibly fat grafting. Depending on your facial proportions, you may need to focus on cheek enhancement rather than the jawline. Photos would be helpful. Best regards, Dr Weiss

Overall overall, filler would have to be put into your cheek area to make your face more heart-shaped. Filler in the jaw could make the back wider and perhaps make it look somewhat more tapered. Overall though, if you want to have a narrower jaw that makes your face look more heart-shaped the best way to do that will be with jaw surgery. This is a method done through the inside of your mouth. Watch our videos to learn more.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Dermal fillers can be used in many ways for facial rejuvenation. Injecting filler and Botox into the masseter muscle can change the appearance of one's jawline. To achieve a more heart-shaped appearance, I suggest an in-office consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can examine your facial structure and determine the best way to achieve your aesthetic goals.

In my practice, I have used combination of toxin (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin) and fillers to help augment or change face shape.  Toxin can be injected into the masseter muscle, which can be enlarged or hypertrophied in a more square shaped face.  This helps to decrease the size of the masseter muscle leaving the lower face slimmer and giving the face a more heart-shaped appearance.  This treatment can also help with teeth grinding or TMJ issues.  Filler can also be placed in the cheek area to help augment the upper face, balancing out a more prominent lower half of the face.    

Injectables are a wonderful tool to augment face shape.  I would recommend a combination of toxin and filler for best results.  As others have mentioned, Botox in the masseter muscle is very beneficial for softening a square jawline.   Fillers can also be used, and I would consider a full facial approach by also placing some filler in the cheeks to enhance the overall heart shape of the face.  Of course, filler placement is very individualized to the patient, so I would recommend a consult with an experienced board-certified injector for a treatment plan tailored to your face.  Good luck!

Facial shaping is one of the more important skills an aesthetic physician can offer.  The face has very well defined proportions and many people have less than ideal dimensions.  These can be modified with fillers that have a high "G" prime, meaning lift capacity, such as Radiesse, Voluma and others.  Altering the shape to more ideal proportions has very satisfying outcomes when performed properly.

A combination of Botox to the masseter muscle and fillers into the jaw/chin/cheeks can definitely make a more heart shaped face.  Usually it takes a combination approach to achieve this goal.  Botox in the masseter can take time depending on how strong the jaw muscles are and how much you need to shrink them.  Please consult an expert in facial slimming and cosmetic facial injections for the best cosmetic results.
