Which Jawline Contouring Option is Right for You?
During your consultation, Dr. Heller evaluates your jawline structure, skin elasticity, and goals, then recommends the best approach. We offer both non-surgical treatments like jawline fillers and surgical jawline enhancement in-house.
Non-Surgical Jawline Contouring Options
Jawline Filler (Hyaluronic Acid)
Result Last: 12-18 months | Downtime: Minimal
Instantly adds volume and definition for a stronger jawline. Results last about 12–18 months with minimal downtime. We use safe hyaluronic acid fillers and ensure the enhancement looks natural (never overdone).
Botox for Jawline Slimming
Result Last: 4-6 months | Downtime: None
Relaxes overactive masseter (jaw) muscles to slim a wide or square jawline. Botox injections into the jaw muscle take only a few minutes and require no downtime. This approach is essentially a non-surgical jawline reduction – a great alternative to jawline reduction surgery in NYC for those with a bulky jaw muscle.
Lower Face Contouring with Fillers
Result Last: 12-18 months | Downtime: Minimal
Balances the chin, jaw, and cheeks with dermal fillers for overall facial harmony. Chin filler is sometimes combined with jawline filler to keep the two proportionate.
PDO Thread Lifts & Fat Transfer
Result Last: 1-2 years | Downtime: Minimal
These minimally invasive options tighten and add volume to the jawline without surgery. PDO threads lift sagging skin along the jaw, with results lasting around 1–2 years. Fat transfer uses your own fat to build up a weak jawline.
Surgical Jawline Contouring Options
Jawline Implants
Result Last: Permanent
Custom implants add permanent structure for a stronger, sharper jawline. For a very weak jaw, Dr. Heller may recommend an implant placed through a small incision inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars.
Chin Augmentation (Implant or Sliding Genioplasty)
Result Last: Permanent
Corrects a weak or receding chin to balance your profile. A chin implant goes in through a discreet incision under the chin or inside the mouth, adding forward projection. A sliding genioplasty instead repositions your own chin bone.
Neck Liposuction & Lower Facelift (Jawline Lift)
Result Last: Long-lasting
Removes excess fat under the chin and tightens loose skin for a sharper jaw-neck angle. A lower (mini) facelift lifts the jawline and jowls, often under local anesthesia in about 2–3 hours.
Testimonials
★★★★★
Dr. Heller was polite, friendly and listened to my desired goal. He provided his medical advice and the end result was fantastic. I did jawline sculpting with Juvederm Voluma.

★★★★★
Dr. Elliott Heller showed me 3 options for my chin implant consultation. When the day came for my procedure I could tell through the bandages already! The difference was huge! My face is slimmer because my chin is extended a little now.
V.G.
★★★★★
After my consultation with Dr. Heller, he suggested cheek fillers to restore some natural volume. Now my cheeks have a subtle lift that makes my face look more balanced. Everyone says I look refreshed, not done.

FAQ
Jawline Contouring FAQs
How do I know if I need jawline surgery or filler?
Dr. Heller assesses your jawline and skin during a consultation to determine whether a non-surgical approach like filler or Botox or surgery is best. Minor enhancements can often be done with fillers. More significant changes or loose skin usually require surgery.
How long do jawline fillers last?
Results typically last about 12–18 months. Many patients get a yearly touch-up to maintain definition. Repeated treatments can also stimulate collagen, so you may see some longer-lasting improvement over time.
Is jawline contouring surgery permanent?
Yes. Surgical jawline enhancements are meant to be long-lasting or permanent. A chin or jaw implant provides new structure that will not dissolve, and a surgical lift or genioplasty repositions tissue permanently. Your face will still age naturally. Thread lifts, by contrast, are not permanent. Their results last about 1–2 years, though repeating the procedure can prolong the benefit.
Is there downtime with jawline filler or Botox?
Very little. You might have mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but most patients return to normal activities, even work, within a day. We'll give you tips to minimize swelling and heal quickly.
Can jawline filler and surgery be combined?
Yes. In some cases we combine treatments for the best result. A patient might have surgical chin augmentation for structure and later add a bit of filler along the jawline for fine-tuning. Dr. Heller will guide you on the right combination if a multi-step approach makes sense for you.
