Everything You Need to Know About Jaw Fillers

Jaw fillers are gels that get injected into the skin. They provide volume and stimulate hyaluronic acid or collagen production. This can lessen the appearance of sagging, baggy skin, and bone loss around the jaw.

Jaw filler can be used to:

  • reduce the effects of age-related volume loss in the lower face
  • create a more oval-looking jawline
  • reduce the appearance of jowls
  • contour the jawline, giving it a sharper appearance
  • balance an asymmetrical jawline
  • strengthen or add proportion to the chin
  • provide a strong foundation and frame for the face

The jaw filler procedure is also referred to as nonsurgical jawline contouring. It’s a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that should only be done by an experienced, licensed professional, such as a:

  • plastic surgeon
  • dermatologist
  • nurse practitioner
  • physician’s assistant

When strategically injected along the mandible (lower jaw), jaw fillers create a more defined separation between the jawline and neck.

“Jaw filler gives the face a sharper angle, which makes you look skinnier,” says dermatologist Dr. Barry D. Goldman. “It provides a subtle change, which never looks overdone or over the top.”

Not every type has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this area of the face. But many doctors use fillers off-label for chin augmentation and for defining the jawline. The most common jaw fillers your doctor may use include:

  • hyaluronic acid (Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma or Volux)
  • calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) (Radiesse)

There are several types of dermal filler your doctor might recommend for the jaw and chin. But currently, the only FDA-approved filler for jaw and chin augmentation is Juvederm Volux.

According to Dr. Goldman, thicker fillers are best for the chin and jawline because they aren’t malleable and stay where they’re strategically placed.

Jaw filler alone isn’t usually recommended for eliminating a double chin. But it may be beneficial for this condition when combined with other procedures, such as Kybella.
