The appearance of saggy skin, or “jowling,” can result in a facial appearance that is less trim and youthful. Improving your jawline is a common goal for many, and treatments like BTX or Fillers are often sought after to achieve this for enhancing definition and symmetry. BTX and dermal fillers are the go-to options for this.
So, what’s the deal with these treatments? And which one’s right for you, Filler or BTX? Best way to figure that out is to consult with Dr Michelle Tan, who’ll take a good look at your face and give you the lowdown.
Getting Ready for Jawline Contouring
Jawline fillers are basically soft tissue fillers, which can be used in different parts of the body. But not all fillers are up for the job along the jawline. You need strong ones to really shape things up there. They can give your jawline more definition, smooth out the transition from cheek to neck, and even give it a bit of a lift.
On the other hand, there’s Jawline BTX. This is used when your jawline starts to look a bit rounded at the angle. By injecting BTX along the upper neck and jawline, can help contour and lift the neck area.
Fillers vs. BTX: What’s the Different?
While you might not need just one or the other exclusively, most folks go for either BTX or Filler along the jawline. Sometimes, though, someone might benefit from both.
Fillers are for when your jawline’s lost its shape due to things like bone changes or weight gain. They can also give a lift at the back of the jawline. BTX, on the other hand, is more about refining definition, especially if you’ve got strong neck muscles that are pulling things out of whack.
Considering the Risks
Both treatments are pretty safe when done by a skilled pro. Side effects are usually minor, like some bruising or soreness around the jawline.
Picking Between Filler and BTX
Many of us understand how much a defined jawline can do for their looks and want to know their options for fixing issues like sagging or lack of definition. BTX is good for reducing wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while Fillers are great for static wrinkles and restoring volume. A combo of both can work wonders.
Deciding between BTX and Fillers depends on what you needs. BTX relaxes muscles and offers a non-surgical approach, while Fillers enhance volume and proportions, giving long-lasting results.
When you sit down with Dr Michelle Tan, she’ll take a good look at your jawline, listen to what you want, and let you know which option’s best for you.
What to Expect
If you go for one of these procedures, you can expect a sharper jawline, less noticeable jowls, and a smoother transition from cheek to neck. BTX lasts about three or four months, while Fillers can stick around for a year or more.
Get the Jawline You’ve Always Wanted
Your jawline can totally change how your face looks, but don’t worry if it’s not quite where you want it. There are non-surgical fixes out there to help you get the look you’re after.
