Facial & Jawline Contouring for Golders Green Patients

This treatment suits you if you want to reshape or add definition to the lower face in a subtle way. People who are good candidates often feel their jawline lacks sharpness or that their chin sits back, affecting the side profile. It also works to correct minor asymmetries without surgery. You are a fit if you have realistic expectations and want a temporary, reversible enhancement. For example, a Golders Green patient recently asked for a more defined jawline to frame their face better in photos. Another patient added chin projection, improving overall facial harmony.

First, you'll have a 30 minute consultation to discuss your goals and assess your facial anatomy. On treatment day we apply a topical numbing cream for 15 to 20 minutes to ensure comfort. The injection process takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We place a hyaluronic acid filler at specific points along the jawbone or chin. You will see the results immediately. Finally we provide aftercare instructions and schedule a follow up in 2 to 4 weeks to check the outcome and make minor adjustments if needed. The entire appointment lasts about 60 minutes.

You can return to most normal activities right after your appointment. In the first 24 to 48 hours you may have mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites. Bruising is possible and can last up to a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and extreme heat for the first 24 hours to minimise swelling. It's best not to press firmly on the treated area for the first few days. Red flags requiring immediate contact: call our practice if you experience severe, increasing pain, skin discoloration or signs of infection during office hours. For after hours emergencies, visit A and E or call 111.

Dermal fillers are effective and reversible, but other options exist. For a permanent result, chin or jaw implants can provide dramatic changes but come with surgery risks, downtime, and cost. Orthodontics can help in some cases. If a recessed chin is caused by a significant overbite, correcting tooth alignment with braces or Invisalign can improve the profile, though this is a longer process focused on dental health. During your consultation we will honestly discuss whether fillers are the best fit or if another approach suits your long term goals.

To choose what fits you, ask these questions whether you see us or another practice in the Golders Green area. What brand of filler do you use and why? Can I see before and after photos of your previous patients? How many millilitres of filler might I need and what will the total cost be? What are the risks for contouring the jawline or chin? If a complication occurs, how would you manage it? What is your follow up process to ensure the results settle correctly?

The cost starts from £350 per syringe at our Finchley practice. The final price depends on how much product is needed to reach your desired result, with jawline definition typically needing 2 to 4 syringes. During your consultation we provide a personalised quote with no hidden fees. Since facial contouring is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by dental insurance plans like Denplan or Cigna. We operate as a private only practice and do not offer this treatment on the NHS.
