Non-Surgical Jaw and Chin Enhancement in Toronto
A well-defined jawline and sculpted chin act as frames to the face, creating more pleasing contours, highlighting features, and enhancing the overall appearance. Fortunately, for people who are not born with naturally well-proportioned jawlines or chins, Dr. Lawrence Tong can use soft tissue fillers for jawline and chin enhancement at his plastic surgery centre in Toronto.
Benefits of Jawline and Chin Enhancement with Dermal Fillers
Using soft tissue fillers such as Juvéderm® and Restylane® make it possible for Dr. Tong to enhance the contours of the lower face. Benefits of non-surgical jawline and chin enhancement may include:
- A stronger, better proportioned lower half of the face
- Smoother-looking skin
- Diminished appearance of a dimpled chin
- Reduced appearance of a double chin
- Improved structure and contour of the jaw and chin
- Improved profile structure
- Reduction in the appearance of jowls and sagging skin
- Improved facial symmetry and balance
- Improved projection of a recessed chin
- A more heart-shaped face
- Enhanced jaw angle
- A more youthful appearance
The Jawline and Chin Enhancement Procedure
Before your non-surgical jawline and/or chin enhancement, you will attend a private consultation with Dr. Tong. During this meeting, you will have the opportunity to candidly discuss your cosmetic concerns and goals. Dr. Tong will listen to you carefully, make suggestions based on his extensive experience and aesthetic skills, then work with you to develop a specialized treatment plan. Most patients choose to have their non-surgical procedure on the same day as their initial consultation.
Jawline and chin enhancement at our practice is performed with fillers that contain local anesthetic that help you stay comfortable. In addition, patients may also choose to have topical anesthetic applied as well, for added comfort. Once the skin has been thoroughly cleansed and topical anesthetic applied (when applicable) , Dr. Tong will inject dermal fillers into the treatment area to enhance contours.
Recovery After Jawline and Chin Enhancement
Following jawline and/or chin enhancement with dermal fillers, there is no need for downtime. You may experience some minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites but this can be treated with a cold compress and will quickly resolve. Patients are advised to refrain from exercise until the next day.
How Long Do Results Last?
Dermal fillers are naturally metabolized by the body, so the results of non-surgical jawline and chin enhancement will gradually fade. Most of Dr. Tong’s patients schedule a retouch after several months to a year.
Who is a Candidate for Jawline and Chin Enhancement?
If you are frustrated by a poorly-defined jawline or chin, you may be an excellent candidate for non-surgical enhancement with soft tissue fillers. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have reasonable expectations about what can be achieved through non-surgical enhancement.
