Options & Techniques
Q:
what types of jawline contouring do you offer?
A:
So we offer non-surgical jawline contouring as well as surgical. Non-surgical is a quick procedures such as dermal fillers. Placed strategically along the bone of the jaw of the jawline to give a nice structure more lifted and more pleasing to the eyes. We do sometimes fat transfer to give different layers to the jaw to build the jaw that the jaw is not well developed. Sometimes we’ll do PDO threads with the jawline, very simple non-surgical procedure that works very nicely. And you know, more advanced cases will recommend jawline lifts or mini face lifts to tighten jawline.
