And this has been proven by research by American psychologists!
The angles of the lower jaw can be simply smoothed, not expressive, and this makes the face softer. For men, this can result in a lack of masculinity and decisiveness in appearance; for women, this can result in a lack of some “vampirism” and coquetry. It is believed that a pronounced lower jaw is a sign of “breed”, which can affect society’s perception of a person.
Aesthetic studies have shown that the average mandibular angle in women is 125 degrees , but this value varies even among aesthetically attractive patients.
The main goal when correcting the lower part of the face is to emphasize and make the patient’s natural mandibular angle more pronounced.
You should not strive for the geometric number of a specific angle! Simply accentuate the corners!
Correction of the lower jaw is often carried out in combination with changes to the chin , and sometimes it is carried out not as a single manipulation, but as a component of a complex for correcting the entire oval of the face, for example in the “Jolie profile” procedure.
Photos before and after complex correction
Here and below, the before and after photos were taken by cosmetologists of our clinic using cannula technology.
Unlike the middle third of the face, where soft boundaries are aesthetically ideal, the transition from the jaw line to the neck is characterized by clearer angles and lines, which are important to recreate during correction. Therefore, to correct this area, dense preparations with good elasticity are desirable.
After the age of 35-40, special attention should be paid to the correction of the upper and middle third of the face (zygomatic area and facial wrinkles of the forehead).
Sometimes, at the angles of the lower jaw, some patients trim the shape of the chin in front and profile. This is not a mistake, but rather a comprehensive approach to correcting this zone.
Surgery to increase the angles of the lower jaw
Mandibuloplasty is an operation to implant implants and is performed under general anesthesia . Recovery takes 5-8 weeks (osteotomy of the lower jaw bones often occurs). The cost of correction starts from 180,000 rubles with an experienced surgeon. Practice shows that after 10-15 years, implants need to be changed.
Compared to surgery, correction with fillers is quick, painless and without a recovery period.
Taking into account all the costs and health hazards, it is more profitable to visit a cosmetologist once every 12-15 months to introduce fillers into the corner area for 7-10 years.
Indications and contraindications for chin correction with fillers
Filler injections allow you to create the ideal chin shape. Indications for chin correction may include aesthetic defects:
- asymmetry;
- disproportion of the lower part of the face (chin too small);
- unaesthetic form;
- dimples and other irregularities;
- age-related sagging of skin in the submandibular area;
- wrinkles, scars in this area.
Correction of the chin area is not recommended in the following cases:
- malignant neoplasms;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- allergies to medications used during the procedure;
- blood clotting pathologies;
- diabetes;
- infectious and inflammatory diseases.
Correction with fillers cannot be carried out in the presence of immunodeficiency states, since due to insufficient functioning of the system, implant rejection is possible. A complete list of indications and contraindications can be obtained from a dermatocosmetologist during your initial appointment.
Angles = stylish. Young patients.
There has always been fashion for a straight jaw line and its defined angle - remember the same Nefertiti. And Angelina Jolie only strengthened this trend.
Corrections occur using both needles and a cannula. The procedure is practically painless, especially if a cannula is used - just one puncture on the face allows you to correct the entire line of the lower jaw and angles.
The volume of drugs for correction in young patients ranges from 2 to 4 ml on both sides of the face.
The result lasts for 10-15 months, depending on the drugs and their quantity.
We will talk about the drugs that are used below.

After correction:
- the jaw becomes clearly defined;
- the face from the front acquires a correct and proportional shape;
- Age-related manifestations become less noticeable - jowls and sagging skin (if any);
- in profile and in 3/4 view the patient becomes visually younger
Stages of chin correction in Moscow
Before the procedure begins, an interview is conducted with a dermatocosmetologist, during which the feasibility of the upcoming event is clarified. The doctor will conduct an examination, collect the patient’s medical history, and make sure that there are no contraindications. After this, a contract agreement for chin correction will be signed. The program includes the following stages:
- Cleaning the operating area from cosmetics and dirt.
- Disinfection with antiseptic compounds.
- Topical anesthesia with local drugs. In some cases, injections of novocaine or ultracaine are used. If the filler contains lidocaine, then this step of the program is not necessary.
- Applying marks to the skin (the composition will be introduced along them).
- Gel injections using special needles and cannulas.
- Repeated disinfection of the work area.
- Light manual massage for more correct distribution of filler under the skin of the chin.
- Applying a regenerating mask.
At the end of the procedure, the patient is given a series of aftercare recommendations. You will receive a card containing records of the manipulation performed and information about the drug, its composition, dose and date of administration.
Angles = rejuvenation. Older patients.
The severity of the LF line allows cosmetologists to combat the correction of age-related changes! By working on the volume of the lower third and correcting not only the angle of the jaw, but also the chin area, you can achieve significant rejuvenation and eliminate age-related problems caused by ptosis.
Young or old patient - this border is quite arbitrary. Manifestations of ptosis and sagging of the jaw area are often observed already at 30-35 years of age, and the absence of a clear angle of the lower jaw can even be present from birth (anatomically determined).
The minimum volumes of the drug to achieve the required result with simultaneous corrections of the entire lower jaw line cannot be less than 1.5 ml on one side.
Only comprehensive correction of the entire lower jaw line and chin area can truly rejuvenate the patient!
Cosmetologists do not need to be shy and “smear” 1 ml over the entire half, or even the entire face, but they need to explain (!!!) to patients the principles and methods of correction, so that later there will be no accusations - “here, the doctor, promoted me by 3 ml."
The volume of drugs for correction in older patients ranges from 3 to 6 ml on both sides of the face.
The result lasts for 12-15 months, depending on the drugs and their quantity. As we age, our metabolism slows down, so the results of the procedure are noticeable longer.
Photos before and after correction of the angles of the lower jaw with filler
In both cases in the photo, in addition to work in the area of the corners of the LF, work was carried out in the area of the chin or mental fold.
What about plastic surgery?
Simultaneous correction to tighten the jowls (platysmoplasty or SMAS lifting) and accentuate the angles of the lower jaw (mandibuloplasty) will cost from 300,000-350,000 rubles.
The cost of correction with fillers is 50,000-70,000 rubles. The difference is in general anesthesia and the availability of money. And in choosing a surgeon.

The essence of chin correction with fillers in Moscow
Correction of the lower third of the face with fillers is an aesthetic cosmetology technique that involves injecting special gels into the subcutaneous layers of problem areas of the chin.
Modeling preparations have a high density and are evenly distributed, filling the voids in the tissues formed due to their atrophy or other reasons. Chin correction allows you to make facial proportions harmonious, eliminate possible asymmetry, and improve the contour. In just one procedure, you can eliminate aesthetic defects, wrinkles, add the necessary volume, normalize shapes and make features graceful.
The result of chin correction with fillers is noticeable immediately after their injection. The effect lasts from 12 to 18 months. Contour plastic surgery allows you to achieve the following results and correct chin imperfections:
- shape the contour of the chin;
- adjust the oval (make it clear);
- raise the corners of the lips;
- eliminate asymmetry;
- smooth out creases;
- correct congenital and post-traumatic defects.
Chin correction with fillers makes it possible to combat age-related involutional changes: wrinkles, ptosis, double chin, jowls. However, the cosmetologist is visited not only by older patients, but also by young clients. The reason for their treatment is often dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of their appearance. Girls are often dissatisfied with a square chin, which gives the face a masculine appearance. Men want to add volume, as a small chin is considered by many to be a feminine trait.
Each case is considered individually by a specialist. Improving the shape can be carried out using different methods: surgical plastic surgery, lipofilling, contour plastic surgery with fillers. Chin correction with fillers is the most harmless but effective alternative to invasive surgery.
You can sculpt the shape and size of the lower third of the face using different preparations that differ in specific features, but have the same principle of action:
- Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra 4: are based on non-sulfonated glycosaminoglycan. The filler contains lidocaine, which provides anesthesia during its injection. Effect up to 1.5 years.
- Radiesse: an excellent moisturizer and shape corrector based on calcium hydroxyapatite. Retains structure for 1.5 to 2 years.
- Juvederm 3: the main component is hyaluronic acid. Valid for about a year.
- Princess Volume: stabilized dense filler. Contains hyaluronate of biotechnological origin. The biodegradation period of the drug ranges from 8 to 12 months.
- Yvoire Contour: an injectable implant containing high molecular weight, persistent hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. Effect: 10 - 12 months.
Fillers for correction of angles and lines of the lower jaw.
The preparations should be quite dense, but most importantly, with good plasticity and viscosity in order to keep their shape.
- Juvederm Voluma is based on hyaluronic acid, its structure is quite viscous, repeated administration will be required no earlier than after 5 months;
- Belotero Volume is the latest generation of drugs based on hyaluronic acid, characterized by the most uniform distribution and the absence of side effects in the recovery and delayed periods;
- Surjiderm is a classic drug, after administration no lumps/tubercles form, the result lasts for 6 months;
- Radiesse is a unique drug that not only makes the appearance expressive, but also promotes skin rejuvenation by stimulating the generation of collagen; repeated procedures are usually recommended only after 12-15 months.
The price of introducing 1.5 ml of filler depends on the manufacturer of the drug and ranges from 20,000 to 26,000 rubles.
If the patient has a wide projection of the lower jaw (square type of lower face), in addition to fillers based on hyaluronic acid, botulinum therapy of the masseter muscle and platysma can be used.
Minimally invasive types of lift
A neck and double chin lift can be performed not only with hardware, but also with other minimally invasive methods: using injections and thread lifting. Their distinctive feature is their effectiveness, short rehabilitation period and minimal side effects.
Mesotherapy
The procedure involves injections of preparations based on vitamins, plant extracts, microelements and amino acids into the middle layers of the dermis. The complex of useful elements promotes the production of collagen and the overall health of the skin. Mesotherapy is carried out in a course of 6-8 procedures, each of which costs about 1500-2000 rubles. The rejuvenation and tightening effect lasts for 6-8 months.
Thread lifting
Double chin and neck lifts are often performed using threads implanted into soft tissue. They provide fixation of the new position of problem areas due to their physical presence, and also stimulate increased production of collagen at the site of implantation, which helps to enhance the achieved skin tightening effect.
For the procedure, absorbable (polylactic threads, mesothreads) or non-absorbable (gold) threads can be used. The former provide a positive effect for up to 1.5 - 2 years. They dissolve and are excreted from the body some time after administration. The latter are more effective and provide results for up to 3 years, after which the threads are re-tensioned.
Double chin lift with threads helps to correct the cervical and submandibular zones, creates additional volume in the problem area, most often the introduction of threads is carried out in the form of a hammock. A neck lift helps reduce skin ptosis, removes wrinkles and deep folds, and the threads are fixed in the area behind the ear. The average cost of such a procedure is 25,000 rubles.

Contour plastic
Lifting the neck and double chin area is rarely performed using injection (contour) plastic surgery. Procedures of this kind are suitable for eliminating ptosis caused by soft tissue deficiency. Fillers made from biodegradable materials fill existing voids and activate the work of fibroblasts. Over time, the drugs themselves break down into their component parts and are eliminated from the body naturally, and the positive effect lasts for another 3-4 months.
Contour plastic surgery is performed once, the average cost of the procedure is about 12-15 thousand rubles and directly depends on the amount of composition used. Positive results are determined by the concentration of active substances in the drug used and last for about 12-18 months.
