Defining the Jawline with Juvederm Volux
Let’s talk about the jawline—it’s one of those features we all admire for its definition and structure. But as we age, the sharp distinction between the jawline and neck can begin to blur. What once were two distinct features may start to blend, and the jawline loses some of its definition. This natural shift happens as our anatomy changes over time.
The good news? There are effective treatments to help restore that definition and reduce the appearance of jowls.
My Go-To Solution: Volux
For redefining the jawline and tackling jowls, I love using Volux, an FDA-approved filler from Juvederm. If you’re not familiar with it, Volux is designed specifically for structural support, making it an ideal choice for enhancing the jawline.
As I’ve gained more experience with Volux, I’ve refined my approach to ensure natural and noticeable results. When I first started, I was likely too conservative with the amount of filler used. While that approach had its merits, I’ve since found that using enough product yields the impactful transformations my patients are looking for. It’s all about balance—measuring the right amount and placing it at the right place.
Why Volux Stands Out
Volux is thicker than many other fillers, which makes it perfect for creating structure. Enhancing the jawline, however, isn’t just about the jaw itself—it often starts with addressing the midface. If there’s sagging in the cheeks or around the eyes, adding volume and lift to those areas can naturally improve the jawline’s definition. Sometimes, the midface work alone can enhance the jawline, but when combined with Volux, the results can be compounding.
Tailoring the Jawline
A key part of working with the jawline is tailoring the results to each individual’s anatomy and aesthetic goals. For men, this often means creating a more defined and structured jawline. For women and femmes, the approach is more subtle. Instead of widening the jaw, I focus on reinforcing the structure beneath the jawbone to reduce jowling and enhance natural definition.
The "Green Zone" of Safety
One of my favorite things about working with the jawline is its safety profile. The jawline is often referred to as the "green zone" because the risks are relatively lower in this area. As a provider, I love offering treatments that are both effective and low(er)-risk—it’s a win-win for everyone.
What to Expect
Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation. Together, we’ll discuss your goals, examine your anatomy, and determine if this approach is right for you. If you’re a candidate, the procedure is straightforward, and downtime is minimal.
