Why People Choose to Sculpt Their Jawline
A well-defined jawline is often seen as a marker of youth and vitality. It creates a balanced look, with the lower face tapering into a crisp, youthful “V” shape that enhances the overall harmony of your features.
While a strong jawline may be a natural part of youth, factors like aging, genetics, and lifestyle can lead to changes in its shape and definition. The good news is that there are now more ways than ever to regain or enhance that sharp jawline—without necessarily opting for surgery.
8 Options For Sculpting Your Jawline
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to reshaping your jawline. Dr. Brunner offers a range of non-surgical and surgical treatments, each designed to address specific concerns, from mild skin laxity to stubborn fat. Here are some of the most popular options:
1. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are one of the most effective and non-invasive ways to reshape the jawline. By restoring lost volume and enhancing contours, fillers can lift, sculpt, and define your jawline in just under an hour. Products like Restylane Contour® and JUVÉDERM Volux® and Radiesse are popular choices for creating a more youthful, contoured look.
Why choose dermal fillers?
- Ideal for those who have mild sagging or volume loss in the jawline area.
- Quick procedure with minimal downtime.
- Immediate, natural-looking results.
- Temporary, lasting around 6-12 months before touch-ups are needed.
2. Neuromodulators (Botox® & Dysport®):
If you’re looking to slim your jawline subtly, neuromodulators like Botox® or Dysport® can be injected into the masseter muscle. This muscle, located at the angle of the jaw, can become enlarged due to grinding or chewing. By relaxing it, these treatments can give your face a softer, more sculpted appearance.
Why choose Botox or Dysport?
- Quick, 15-minute procedure with minimal downtime.
- Results appear within a few days, with full effects seen in about two weeks.
- Results last between 2-6 months.
3. Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling – Morpheus8 and Fractora RF
Fractora RF
For those with mild to moderate skin laxity, Fractora RF combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. This treatment targets the deeper layers of the skin to promote skin rejuvenation and a smoother, firmer jawline.

Why choose Fractora RF?
- Targets mild skin laxity and stimulates collagen for long-term improvement.
- Ideal for those who want tighter, smoother skin without surgery.

Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is an advanced microneedling treatment similar to Factora RF that delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to remodel and tighten tissue. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Morpheus8 improves skin laxity, smooths fine lines, and enhances jawline definition for a more youthful appearance.
Why choose Morpheus8?
- Penetrates deeper than traditional microneedling for enhanced skin tightening and contouring.
- Addresses mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, and uneven texture.

4. Thread Lifts:
Thread lifts are an excellent option for those looking for a minimally invasive procedure to tighten the jawline and neck area. Using absorbable threads, Dr. Brunner can lift sagging skin and enhance your jawline’s definition. This treatment provides immediate results and is an excellent option for people who want more noticeable improvement without a complete facelift.
Why choose thread lifts?
- Quick, minimally invasive procedure with immediate lifting effects.

Which Treatment Is Right For You?
Determining the best treatment for reshaping your jawline depends on several factors, including your unique facial anatomy, your aesthetic goals, and the degree of improvement you’d like to achieve. Every person’s skin, bone structure, and fat distribution are different, and these variations can influence the effectiveness of certain treatments.
The best way to identify the right treatment for you is by scheduling a personalized consultation with Dr. Brunner. During this consultation, Dr. Brunner will conduct a thorough evaluation of your facial features, including the jawline, neck, and surrounding areas. She will take into account any concerns you may have, such as skin laxity, fat deposits, or loss of volume, and discuss the results you hope to achieve.
