Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Sculptra can be an effective option for addressing asymmetry and creating a more balanced appearance in the jawline and chin area. Here’s how it can help with evening out a pointy chin and uneven jaw, and what to consider. Sculptra is a type of dermal filler that works by stimulating collagen production over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra’s effects develop gradually, with results becoming more noticeable over several months. By injecting Sculptra into targeted areas, your cosmetic doctor aims to enhance volume and improve contours, helping to address asymmetries and create a smoother, more balanced look. To reduce the pointiness of your chin, Sculptra is placed strategically along the jawline and chin area to add volume and create a more rounded, harmonious contour. By injecting Sculptra into areas behind the chin (the pre-jowl area) and the lateral jawline, they can help soften the appearance of a prominent chin and create a smoother transition between the chin and jawline. This approach helps redistribute volume and reduces the prominence of the chin’s pointiness. For an uneven jawline, Sculptra can be used to even out the contours by adding volume where needed. Injecting Sculptra into the side of the jaw with less length helps to balance the asymmetry, creating a more even appearance. Additionally, placing a small amount of Sculptra in the back jaw area can help smooth out irregularities and contribute to a more proportionate jawline. The gradual nature of Sculptra’s results allows for fine-tuning over multiple sessions, ensuring that the final outcome is both natural and aesthetically pleasing. I use Sculptra all the time in practice and highly recommend it! I hope this helps and best of luck.

I hope this helps and best of luck!

Hello,

Thank you for your question and for sharing your concerns. Sculptra is a popular choice for non-surgical facial contouring as it stimulates collagen production and can help to create a more balanced and harmonious appearance over time. Injecting Sculptra into the side of your chin and jaw that has less length can help to even out the asymmetry by gradually adding volume and promoting collagen growth in those areas. Additionally, adding a small amount to the back jaw can provide a more balanced facial profile and help to offset the pointiness of your chin.

It is important to have a detailed discussion with your cosmetic doctor about your goals and to ensure that they have a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and experience with Sculptra injections. Results with Sculptra typically develop over a few months as collagen production is stimulated, so patience is key.

Please make sure to follow your doctor's pre- and post-treatment instructions for the best outcomes and to minimize any potential risks.
