If you’ve been discontented with the appearance of your chin or jawline for a long time but don’t want to get plastic surgery, then jawline fillers might be the solution.
There are many types of fillers that target different areas, so it’s essential to understand the limitations of jawline fillers before making a critical decision that could alter your face.
Here’s everything you need to know about jawline fillers, contouring, how it works, types of filler, and more.
How Do Jawline Fillers and Contouring Work?
Jawline fillers are a nonpermanent way to alter the appearance of your jaw.1 They mainly consist of gels, which are injected into the skin of your jaw to give it volume or a sharper angle. The jaw filler procedure is also known as jawline contouring because it helps shape and define the jaw.2
This is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, and each session takes around 30 minutes.
Who Is It For?
Jawline fillers are more common than you think, with more than 3 million Americans receiving some type of dermal filler annually.3 Jawline fillers can help:4
- Create an oval jawline
- Minimize your jowls
- Contour or sharpen your jawline
- Fix an asymmetrical or misshaped jawline
- Give your face a strong foundation or frame
- Strengthen your chin
- Reduce age-related facial volume loss
- Add proportion to your face

Next, let’s discuss the different types of fillers on the market.
Filler Brands That Are Available
The most popular jawline filler brands approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration are as follows.5
Radiesse
Radiesse is a type of calcium hydroxylapatite jawline filler, which is available as an injectable. This naturally occurring mineral compound, which is present in your bones, is mixed into a water-based gel and injected into your jaw.6
Collagen then develops around this gel, giving volume and fullness to your jaw. This is great for smoothing out creases and fine lines and correcting the jaw volume loss caused by age.7
Allergic reactions and other side effects are rare with this product as it integrates well with your body. The effects of Radiesse are expected to last between 18 months and two years.8
Juvederm Volux XC
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid jawline filler available as an injectable. It’s also naturally occurring and keeps your skin hydrated. This type of filler is beneficial for plumping up your jawline and smoothening scars, lines, and wrinkles. The effects of hyaluronic acid filler are expected to last six months to one year (sometimes two years).9
Restylane Lyft
Restylane is also a hyaluronic acid filler. It has a similar mechanism of action and benefits as Juvederm. The effects of these fillers are expected to last six months to a year and can even extend to two years in some cases.10
Depending on the type and brand, jawline fillers usually cost around $600 to $800 per syringe.11 Don’t hesitate to seek medical advice in helping you choose which of these jawline fillers and contouring methods is most suitable for you.
