Jaw & Chin
When it comes to addressing signs of age, the jaw and chin are often overlooked. Mostly, patients focus on aspects of the anatomy where they can see visible change occurring, such as lines on the forehead or slackening in the mid-face.
However, as the structural support for the lower face, the jaw and chin play an important role in aesthetic treatment. Addressed correctly and with artistry, treatment to the jaw and chin can rejuvenate the face beautifully, while also preventing further deterioration in the jaw and chin for years to come.

Finding the right treatment for your concern
Chin augmentation
A more defined chin can transform the entire lower face — explore our expert-led approach to augmentation.
Jowls
From subtle non-surgical lifts to transformative surgical results, we offer a full spectrum of treatments to address jowls and restore a defined, youthful jawline.
The fashionable jawline
In recent years, jawline and Chin Augmentation have become much more prevalent. New research means that we can much better understand the impact that strengthening the chin and jaw can have on maintaining the rest of the face, while the evolution of jawline-specific products means that we now have the tools to enhance the lower face like never before. However, it is still crucial that when approaching treatment of the jaw or chin, utmost attention is paid to the rest of the face, to achieve a result that is balanced, and above all, harmonious.
The effects of volume loss
As bone resorption, a key anatomical change in the ageing face, occurs over time, the jaw and chin become weaker (this can be especially noticeable if these areas were weak or underdeveloped to begin with). As the jaw and chin lose structural support, overall facial balance can shift. With this underlying scaffolding slowly breaking down, the soft tissues can become slack, leading to the appearance of Jowls and a Sagging Jawline; however, the right aesthetic treatment can help restore definition to the jaw and chin while improving overall contour. As with all aesthetic treatments, however, the key lies in the initial consultation, accurately diagnosing the deficient features of the jaw and chin and creating a bespoke treatment plan tailored to each individual’s face.
