Facial contouring uses structural filler, biostimulators and botulinum toxin to define the jawline, project the chin, refine cheekbones and balance the profile. It is as relevant for men seeking a defined jaw as for women seeking a lifted cheek.
De quoi s’agit-il
- Contouring is about proportion: chin projection relative to the lips and nose, jaw angle definition, cheek height and the transition between them.
- The tools are structural filler placed on bone, biostimulators for firmness, and masseter toxin where a wide muscle blurs the jaw angle.
À qui cela s’adresse
- Weak or receding chin, undefined jawline, early jowls
- Flat cheekbones or a heavy lower face
- Male patients wanting a stronger jaw with a masculine, angular plan
- Not suitable where an orthodontic or orthognathic problem is the real cause — we refer in that case
Produits utilisés
Dense structural hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse, HarmonyCa, botulinum toxin
Déroulé du traitement
- Photographic analysis including profile and three-quarter views.
- Marking of bony landmarks and vectors.
- Deep placement on bone with cannula or needle depending on zone, then moulding.
Sécurité
- The facial artery and its branches run close to the jawline; cannula technique and deep placement reduce risk.
- Dental and skeletal causes are assessed before any injectable plan.

Questions sur ce traitement
Can filler give me a sharp jawline?
It can define an existing bone structure and mask early jowling. It cannot compensate for significant skin laxity or a skeletal discrepancy.
Is contouring different for men?
Yes. Male plans keep angles wide and square and avoid mid-face lifting that feminises the face.
How much product does a jawline need?
Typically 2–4 ml for a defined result, often split across two sessions.
