Get The Perfect Jawline: Aesthetics By Boss Guide To Jawline Filler

/in , , , /by

Thinking of getting Jawline Filler? Here at Aesthetics By Boss, we’ve got all the information you’ll need before making the decision.

Jawline Fillers can be used for non-surgical augmentation and contouring of the jawline. Optimising the jawline with dermal fillers helps to create definition and structure in the lower third of the face.

At Aesthetics By Boss, we use a hyaluronic acid filler for contouring the jawline. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

Who can get Jawline Fillers?

Jawline Fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be the case of increasing jaw definition to enhance natural features. For positive agers it may be to lift the lower face and minimise jowling. For weight loss clients it may be to restore lost volume and reduce sagging skin. It is also possible to correct asymmetries. Male clients may wish to create a wider-set or more masculine and chiselled jawline while our female clients may wish to accentuate their jawlines for glamorisation.

What happens to our jawline as we age?

As we age, we lose bone density within the mandible (jawbone), therefore losing structural support in the lower face, the fat pads descend to the chin area causing jowling, this causes us to lose our jawline definition. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin causing the lower face to age further. This can all improved with the use of dermal fillers to give back structure, support and hydration to the jawline and therefore lower face.

What does the Jawline Filler treatment involve?

Before we begin, we take your full medical history, discuss your concerns and complete a thorough assessment of your face. We will then discuss your treatment options, costing and answer any questions you may have. We will take photographs for our records and also for you to look back on and compare results after the treatment. We will then discuss possible side effects and risks and complete a consent form with you.

After thoroughly cleansing the face we will mark up the injections points and prepare your filler. Our registered cosmetic nurse will then inject the area using a needle and/or cannula depending on the desired outcome. The placement of the injections will vary depending on your facial shape and the look you are trying to achieve. The treatment only takes around 20 to 30 minutes depending on how many mls you require. We will then discuss aftercare and answer any further questions.

Is getting Jawline Fillers painful?

Overall, most clients find jawline fillers to be quite bearable with some occasional discomfort. We use a mixture of needle and cannula techniques in the jawline and therefore it does not require as many injections as the lips or even cheeks.  If you are feeling apprehensive, we can use a topical numbing cream on the skin surface before injecting. There is also a local numbing agent in the dermal filler, this works under the skin to numb the entire area as treatment proceeds.

How long do Jawline Fillers last?

Under manufacturers guidelines and past experience, we generally see Jawline fillers last between 12 and 18 months and sometimes up to 24 months. This varies between individuals depending on their metabolism and lifestyle factors. Due to the type of dermal filler used in the jawline we are able to achieve better longevity than that seen in the lips. We recommend attending a consult after 12-18 months to discuss re-treatment to maintain desired results. In some cases, if you re-treat sooner, such as after 12 months, you may require less volume to achieve the same result as the first time.

Is there downtime for Jawline Fillers?

There are a few possible side effects post treatment including redness, swelling, discomfort and bruising at the treatment site and these usually resolve within a week or so. It is also possible to get some small lumps, these should resolve after a few weeks. Is it therefore recommended to complete any dermal filler treatments 2 to 4 weeks before any events. There is also a rare possibility that a small blood vessel may get blocked causing pain, coldness, numbing and discoloration to the site, if this occurs you must contact the clinic immediately and return for dissolving of the filler. If you have any concerns, please contact us for advice.

What is the aftercare for Jawline Fillers?

Post Jawline Fillers, you should ensure you remain upright for the next 4 hours and do not apply any pressure to the treatment area. You should also avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for 4 hours. It is best to avoid excessive heat or cold, strenuous exercise or alcohol as these activities can increase your risk of bruising. It is also important to avoid microdermabrasion, laser or chemical peels for 2 weeks.

How much do Jawline Fillers cost?

At Aesthetics By Boss, Jawline Fillers are $479 per ml. Most clients get good jawline sculpting results with the use of 1ml to 2mls of dermal filler per side of the jawline. However, especially with positive agers, it may be necessary to use more, that is why it is important to have a complimentary consultation and discuss a treatment plan that you are happy with.

The Power of Good Chin Fillers

/in , , /by

Are you considering chin filler as an option to enhance your appearance? If so, you’re not alone. Chin filler is one of the most popular procedures performed today. But what are the benefits of chin filler and what can you expect from the procedure? In this blog post, we’ll explore those questions and more. So, if you’re thinking about getting chin filler, keep reading!

What is chin filler and what are the benefits of using it

Chin fillers can be used for non-surgical augmentation and contouring of the chin. Optimising the chin with dermal fillers helps to create definition in the lower third of the face especially from a profile view. The chin is a central pillar of the face and needs to be in proportion with the lips, nose and jawline to give an aesthetically pleasing profile.

At Aesthetics By Boss, we use a hyaluronic acid filler for contouring the chin. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

As we age, bone reabsorption occurs, causing the chin to retract backwards, the fat pads descend causing jowling, and we lose all structural support in the lower face. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin and the downward pull of muscles strengthen giving the appearance of a sad and grumpy face. This can all be improved with the use of dermal fillers in the chin area.

How to determine if you are a good candidate for chin filler

Chin fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be the case of improving the side profile or the lip/chin ratio. We may need to reshape a weak or receding chin, improve chin dimpling, or correct a cleft chin (aka bum chin). Male clients may wish to create a wider-set or more masculine or chiselled chin while our female clients may wish to elongate the chin for femininity. For the more mature client they may require chin filler for anti-ageing.

nasolabial folds

Nasolabial Folds AKA Smile Lines – What Are They And How Do I Treat Them?

/in , , /by

Nasolabial folds, more commonly known as smile lines, are those pesky wrinkles that show up around your mouth and nose. And while they may add character to your face, most of us would prefer to see a little less of them. So what causes these wrinkles and how can we get rid of them? Read on to find out!

What are Nasolabial Folds?

The nasolabial folds are the creases that extend from the side of the nose through to the corners of the mouth, also known as smile lines. They are a natural part of our facial features that tend to deepen with age. While it is attractive to have a little fold here, a deeper crease can cause you to look older than you really are. They are caused by volume loss, facial ageing and repetitive contraction of the surrounding muscles used when smiling and moving the mouth.

Some people may develop wrinkles alongside their nasolabial folds which are more apparent when smiling. It is also possible for younger people who have lost a significant amount of weight, especially in their face, to have more significant and deeper nasolabial folds.

How does ageing affect the Nasolabial Folds?

As we age there is bone reabsorption and loss of volume from the mid face. This results in loss of the underlying supporting structures of the face, leading to a sagging appearance and a deepening of the crease of the nasolabial fold. There is also a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin contributing to additional sagging, lines and wrinkles. This, along with repetitive muscle movements, used when smiling, causes nasolabial folds to deepen and additional lines to form around the mouth.

How do you treat Nasolabial Folds?

Nasolabial folds are best treated using dermal fillers. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and give structure and support to the surrounding areas, softening the appearances of these creases. They also help to reduce additional lines and wrinkles and improve hydration and skin texture. The goal of nasolabial fold injections is not to make them disappear completely but to soften the folds and make them appear less pronounced and the surrounding area smoother and more youthful.

It is rare that this area is treated in isolation, but instead in unison with the cheeks as they are an important mid face area in correcting volume loss and sagging. By treating the cheeks first, this will soften the nasolabial crease therefore requiring a lesser amount of filler to the folds and a more natural result, especially with facial expressions.

The treatment can be completed with a combination of needle and cannula work depending on the desired outcome and treatment plan.

When will I notice results from my Nasolabial Folds treatment?

Results from nasolabial folds treatment are immediate however you should expect to see the best results after two to four weeks once any swelling has gone down and the dermal filler integrates into the tissue leaving a smooth result and improved hydration to the surrounding skin.

How much does filler treatment for nasolabial folds cost and how long does it last?

Dermal fillers to the nasolabial fold area are $459/ml and generally 1ml-2mls is required per session. Some clients only require one session while some may require a repeat treatment one to three months later to get their desired result. Dermal fillers usually last between 12 and 18 months in the nasolabial fold area.

Why choose Aesthetics By Boss for your nasolabial folds treatment?
