Los primeros días se palpa firme, sobre todo en el ángulo, porque el material es denso y está colocado en profundidad. Al cabo de dos o tres semanas se integra y deja de percibirse como algo separado del hueso.

¿Sirve si lo que tengo es papada?

En parte. Marcar el borde mejora el límite entre cara y cuello, pero si el problema principal es la grasa submentoniana, la mandíbula sola no lo resuelve. En la valoración se distingue una cosa de la otra y se te plantea el orden lógico.

¿Me va a quedar la cara cuadrada?

No es el objetivo. Se trabaja por fases y con cantidades medidas: se busca un ángulo definido, no una cara más grande. Si en la revisión falta definición, se añade; quitar es más incómodo que añadir.

¿Cuánto se mantiene en esta zona?

Habitualmente entre 12 y 18 meses. La mandíbula se mueve poco y se trata con material más reticulado, así que suele durar más que zonas como los labios. Depende de tu metabolismo y de la cantidad empleada.

¿Entreno al día siguiente?

Mejor deja pasar 24-48 horas. El calor y el aumento de flujo sanguíneo favorecen la hinchazón y los hematomas. Caminar y la actividad normal no hay que suspenderlas.

¿Hace falta más de una sesión?

Muchos casos se resuelven en una, con un ajuste fino en la revisión. Cuando el punto de partida tiene poco soporte óseo, se planifica en dos sesiones separadas por unas semanas para ir viendo el efecto sobre el conjunto.

¿Y si no me convence el resultado?

El ácido hialurónico es reabsorbible y, si fuese necesario, existe un tratamiento médico específico que lo disuelve. Es una de las razones por las que se empieza por aquí antes de plantear opciones quirúrgicas.

¿Interfiere con el afeitado o con la barba?

No. Pasados los primeros días puedes afeitarte con normalidad, con cuchilla o con máquina. El material va en un plano profundo y no afecta al folículo ni al crecimiento del vello.

About the treatment

What does it involve?

Defining the jaw means working on two things at once: the angle, just below the ear, and the border that runs from that angle down to the chin. When the angle is closed and the border blurred, the lower part of the face looks wide and with no boundary with the neck.

We use high-density hyaluronic acid, a firmer formula with more capacity to support the tissue than the one used in soft areas. At the angle it is deposited deep, resting on the bone, with a needle. The run along the border is done with a cannula, which passes under the skin without cutting and reduces the risk of bruising.

High density Needle and cannula No operating theatre

Here the male approach is what governs. In men what matters is a straight border, an open angle and a flat lateral face: no curves and no volume towards the cheekbone. It is structure, not filler. Done well, what you see is a more defined profile, not a face that has had work done.

If you are interested in the face as a whole and not just this area, facial harmonisation is the overall plan; jawline definition is the specific chapter on the lower third and, in many cases, the only one needed.

Before injecting there is a medical assessment: we look at your bone structure, the position of the bone, the fat of the neck and the skin. If your case is better resolved with something else, or you simply do not need anything, we tell you.

Before and after

The change you are after

Jawline definition

What is corrected in this area

The jaw is not treated in its entirety by default. Depending on the case, the change comes from the angle, from the border or from the junction with the chin.

What can be corrected

A closed or barely visible jaw angle
A blurred or uneven jaw border
Contour that is lost in the area under the chin
A rounded lower part of the face
A difference in definition between the right and left sides
A step between the chin and the body of the jaw
Loss of bone support over the years
A lack of visual separation between face and neck

Why people come to the consultation

Your jaw does not show even though you are at your usual weight
From the front your face looks wide in photos
You want a harder profile without going through surgery
You keep your beard short and it no longer disguises the contour
You have noticed the contour fading from your forties onwards
You want a reversible change before deciding on something permanent

How it is done, step by step

Study of the lower third

The bone is palpated and the angle, the border, the fat of the neck and the quality of the skin are assessed. Your medical history too.
Marking on the skin

The run and the entry points are drawn. With this you see where the work will be done before we start.
Antisepsis and topical anaesthetic

The area is cleaned thoroughly and anaesthetic cream is applied a few minutes beforehand.
Deposit at the angle

With a needle and in a deep plane, resting on the bone, to open the angle and gain lateral projection.
Running the border with a cannula

Linear passes beneath the skin along the jaw border, so that the line is continuous.
Checking from the front and in profile

It is checked seated, standing and talking, comparing both sides before the session is considered finished.
Review at 2-3 weeks

Once the material has settled, we assess whether any point needs adjusting.

What changes

A more open, more visible jaw angle
A continuous border line, with no breaks
A clear separation between face and neck
A lower third with more structure
A more defined profile seen from the side
Slight asymmetries compensated for
A visible result on the same day
Reabsorbable, adjustable material

Care before and after

The days beforehand

Tell us about your medication, especially anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs
Leave off alcohol for the 24 hours beforehand: it reduces bruising
Tell us if you have a dental infection or an active cold sore
Come shaved or with the beard trimmed: it makes asepsis easier
Do not schedule it in the week of a wedding or a business trip

The hours and days that follow

Intermittent local cold if you feel tightness, without pressing
No gym, running or weights for 24-48 hours
No sauna, UVA rays or direct heat for 72 hours
The first night, on your back and without resting your face on the pillow
Postpone facial massage and very close shaving for a few days
Do not handle the area: if you notice anything different, it is checked in the consultation

What is to be expected is a few days of mild swelling, a feeling of firmness to the touch and the odd bruise at the entry points. It resolves on its own within a few days. If the pain increases instead of going down, or the skin changes colour, get in touch with us as soon as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Can you feel it to the touch?

For the first few days it feels firm to the touch, especially at the angle, because the material is dense and placed deep. After two or three weeks it integrates and stops being felt as something separate from the bone.

Does it work if what I have is a double chin?

Partly. Defining the border improves the boundary between face and neck, but if the main problem is submental fat, the jaw alone does not resolve it. At the assessment we tell the two apart and set out the logical order for you.

Will my face end up square?

That is not the aim. We work in phases and with measured amounts: we are after a defined angle, not a bigger face. If definition is lacking at the review, more is added; removing is more awkward than adding.

How long does it last in this area?

Usually between 12 and 18 months. The jaw moves little and is treated with more cross-linked material, so it tends to last longer than areas such as the lips. It depends on your metabolism and the amount used.

Can I train the next day?

It is better to let 24-48 hours pass. Heat and increased blood flow encourage swelling and bruising. Walking and normal activity do not need to be stopped.

Is more than one session needed?

Many cases are resolved in one, with a fine adjustment at the review. When the starting point has little bone support, it is planned over two sessions a few weeks apart so as to see the effect on the whole.

What if I am not happy with the result?

Hyaluronic acid is reabsorbable and, if necessary, there is a specific medical treatment that dissolves it. It is one of the reasons for starting here before considering surgical options.

Does it interfere with shaving or with the beard?

No. After the first few days you can shave normally, with a blade or a trimmer. The material goes in a deep plane and does not affect the follicle or hair growth.
