Jaw angle filler injection
The jawline has a great impact on the beauty and rejuvenation of the face. Facial angulation is a set of measures that ultimately lead to the improvement of abnormalities in the jaw or its beautification. These abnormalities can be due to a lack of skeleton, roundness of the face, short geometric size of the jaw, etc. Jaw angulation with fillers is a medical method for facial rejuvenation and beautification that gives the angles of the face a special elegance and beauty.
What is jaw angle?
The jaw angle is the angle between the upper and lower jaws. This angle is determined by the angles created by the facial muscles and the bone structure of the jaw. In fact, the jaw angle indicates the degree of protrusion of the lower jaw (mandible) relative to the upper jaw (maxilla).
Benefits of jaw shape correction with fillers
- The gel injection time is very short and the gel injection process usually takes 30 minutes.
- Anesthesia is applied locally.
- Gels are completely safe and harmless with very natural-looking results.
- If you are not satisfied, the gel can be completely drained and returned to normal using special materials.
- Gel injections have a faster recovery period than fat injections.
How to angulate the jaw with filler
First, the facial skin is sterilized and then the jaw area is locally anesthetized. The filler is injected into the jaw through special, very fine syringes. In order for the face shape to change to a V shape, the specialist must make the jaw part more prominent by injecting gel.
Care before jaw angle filler injection
- Do not use blood-thinning medications or foods for at least one week before the injection.
- Do not use cosmetics when you come for filler injections.
- Stop drinking alcohol, smoking, and using hookah at least one week before the injection.
- If you have a specific illness or are taking certain medications, inform your doctor.
- If you are allergic to a specific substance or have previously had an allergic reaction to a gel injection, inform your doctor.
