How many mm does a syringe of dermal filler add to each side of the mandibular angle of the jaw?

Question

Lets say I get one syringe of a dermal filler, for instance radiesse, injected into my jaw line / into the mandibular angle to enhance my narrow jaw line, how many mm would i get per syringe PER side of my jaw line realistically? Is there a limit as to how many syringes i can get injected into my jawline?

Great question. The amount of filling has a lot to do with your skin quality, muscle tone, and angle of your jawline. I have found jawline Radiesse to be extremely effective.  I would also consider using a complement of Ultherapy to further accentuate and define the jawline before and after Radiesse. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Mariusz Sapijaszko, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Raddiese, Bellafil or Voluma injections with needles or cannulas are great for angle of the jaw and jawline contouring. Some patients can also benefit from NeckTite liposuction or Botox injections below the jawline. The degree of improvement in mm is very hard to estimate as each patient is different and the placement and the technique of injections vary between doctors.I hope that helps

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest you go to a facial contouring expert who specializes in fillers and fat transfer for facial defining.  Cannula injections limit side effects and give meticulous contouring.  I have patients travel from all over the world for this.  Do not compromise your care for cost or distance. It is very hard to place a number or size on the shape, this is best discussed after you are seen in a formal consult.  Best, Dr. Emer.

How much one syringe of any filler will do for a given patient is dependent on the filler itself, where it is injected, how much is injected and on the patient's needs.  Its impossible to give a specific measurement of improvement without knowing all of those details.  For example, a 1.5ml syringe of Radiesse, one of my favorite fillers to create a sharp clean jawline, may be sufficient for a fit 35 year old or a post-facelift 65 year old who wants softening of a boney angle.  However a 60 year old who has never had any procedures and recently lost a significant amount of weight will require many more syringes both in the jawline and in the face above and centrally to lift and define.

It is hard to say how many mm your mandibular angle will increase.  1cc is not very much filler.  See someone with experience in this area so you can discuss the best results.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

A 1ml syringe of filler is less than a teaspoon of actual material, divided by two sides, is just minimal. Radiesse comes in a 1.5ml syringe. So it's just not a lot of material. The mm total would depend upon how deep it was placed, the method of injection, and whether you were trying to increase the whole jawline or just a specific area. "This
