What is Jawline Contouring
Jawline Ccontouring is a cosmetic procedure designed to create a more defined, sculpted jawline and balanced facial profile. Over time, factors such as aging, weight changes, and genetics can lead to sagging skin, excess fat, or a less defined jawline. Jawline contouring addresses these concerns to help you achieve a more youthful, structured, and confident appearance.
This procedure is highly customizable and can involve one or more surgical techniques, depending on your unique anatomy and goals.
Jawline Contouring Options at Rau Plastic Surgery
At Rau Plastic Surgery, jawline contouring can be achieved through several approaches - often performed individually or in combination for comprehensive results:
Neck Lift: Tightens sagging skin, removes excess fat, and repositions underlying muscles to refine the neck and jawline contour.
Chin Liposuction: Removes excess fat beneath the chin to eliminate the appearance of a double chin and sharpen jawline definition.
Chin Implants: Adds structure and projection to the chin, creating balance and harmony between the chin, jawline, and other facial features.
Buccal Fat Removal: Reduces fullness in the cheeks by removing buccal fat pags, enhancing facial definition and contributing to a more sculpted jawline.
During your consultation, Dr. Rau will determine which combination of these techniques will best achieve your desired result.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Jawline Contouring?
You maybe be a good candidate for jawline contouring if you:
Are in good overall health and a nonsmoker
Are bothered by a week, undefined, or sagging jawline
Want long-lasting improvement in facial balance and definition
Have realistic expectations about your surgical outcomes
Because smoking can significantly impact skin elasticity and healing, nonsmokers tend to achieve the best and long-lasting results from surgical jawline contouring.
The Jawline Contouring Process: What to Expect
Your Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Rau will review your medical history, medications, and any previous procedures. He will carefully examine your facial structure and discuss your goals in detail. Based on this assessment, he will recommend the most effective surgical plan and explain each option in depth - including what to expect during the procedure, possible risks, and recovery timelines.
The Procedure
Jawline contouring procedures are typically performed under anesthesia and vary depending on the chosen technique:
Neck Lift: Small incisions are made to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and contour the jawline.
Chin Liposuction: A small incision beneath the chin allows for precise fat removal with a cannula.
Chin Implant: A silicone implant is placed through a discreet incision (often inside the mouth or under the chin) to enhance chin projection.
Buccal Fat Removal: A small incision inside the cheek is used to remove excess fat pads, refining the cheek-to-jawline transition.
Each approach is tailored to your facial anatomy to ensure natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.
Recovery & Results Timeline
First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. Supportive care will be provided to help manage symptoms and promote healing.
1-2 Weeks: Most patients return to light daily activities. Sutures, if present, are typically removed during a follow-up visit.
2-4 Weeks: Swelling gradually subsides, revealing improved definition in the jawline and lower face.
Several Months: Final results become more visible as healing continues and incision lines fade. Results from procedures like chin implants and liposuction are typically long-lasting and often permanent.
Dr. Rau will provide personalized aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
