What is Jawline Filler?

Jawline filler is a technique to reshape the face by injecting filler into the hyaluronic acid group (HA: Hyaluronic Acid) to help correct various problems related to the facial structure, such as an unclear jawline, large jaw, and unshapely jawline. This helps to balance the lower face. It also helps to tighten sagging skin in the jawline area to look firmer.
** The jawline is the area along the lower jawline, counting from the front of the ears to the tip of the chin. **

How many types of facial shapes are there?

Our facial shape is divided into approximately 9 facial shapes as follows

  1. Oval Face The length is equal to 1 ½ times the width. The foreheadis wider than the chin. There are prominent cheekbones and the chin is narrow and oval-shaped.
  2. Oblong Face (Oblong Face): The length is longer than the width. The width of the forehead, cheeks and jaw are equal. The chin is quite well-shaped. The face looks long.
  3. Round face The width of the face is equal to the length. There may be a slight difference, but mostly they are close to each other. The widest part of the face is the cheeks.
  4. Square Face The width and length are almost the same size. The forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are about the same width. The jaw is quite angular.
  5. Heart Face The jaw is narrow, the cheekbones and forehead are wide, similar to an oval face, but the chin is pointed.
  6. Diamond Face The cheekbone area is the widest. The forehead and jaw are about the same width.
  7. Rectangle Face The forehead, cheekbones, and jaw have the same proportions.
  8. Triangular Face It is the opposite of the heart-shaped face. The cheekbones, forehead, and temples are narrow.
  9. Heptagon Face (Heptagon Face) 

What is the most suitable face frame proportion?

Face shape It is the area of the lower jaw, counting from the area in front of the ear to the end of the chin. In the case of women, there must be a slender neck that matches the clear face shape. In the case of men, the neck must look cool, with clear neck muscles, looking manly. There are many types of human facial features, which the lower facial proportions determine our facial shape. Changing the lower facial proportions for the better can create more charm.

The most suitable and beautiful face shape should have the following proportions

1. Facial angle

Measured from Glabella, drawing a line to Subnasale, then to Pogonion. Classified as follows

  • 165 - 175 degrees => The most ideal and beautiful proportion
  • Receding chin
  • 175 degrees => Protruding chin

2. Ricketts' aesthetic line

A line drawn from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin.

  • The upper lip should be 4 mm away from this line.
  • The lower lip should be 2 mm away from this line.

3. Bizygomatic width Bigonial width

The proportion between the widest part of the cheekbones and the widest part of the jaw.

  • In women => 1: 0.6
  • In men => 1: 0.8-1

4. Gonial angle

Measurement of the jaw angle.

  • In women => 120-130 degrees
  • In men => 100 - 110 degrees

Reasons for an unclear face shape

Caused by increasing age, resulting in changes in the lower facial proportions as follows

1. Bone reabsorption

The mandibular bone is the largest and strongest bone. Bone is like a house pillar that supports every layer of skin in its proper place. Over time, the bone structure erodes, causing the jaw angle to change from an L shape to a V shape. This results in the entire structure attached to the bone having no support, reducing its strength, leading to sagging of the facial ligaments and excess fat deposits around the face frame.

2. Facial Retaining Ligaments (Ligament)

The important lower facial retaining ligaments include

  • Mandibular retaining ligament
  • Masseter cutaneous ligament
  • Platysmal – auricular ligament

These facial retaining ligaments also change. From being taut and attached to the bone, they become less attached, resulting in sagging

3. Muscles for Expression

The muscles used for facial expressions also appear different. For example, smiles may look different from before, with drooping corners of the mouth.

4. Fat Pads

Accumulation of fat pads occurs in the skin layer, causing the cheeks to sag and droop down to the face frame, making the face frame unclear.

What can Jaw Line Filler help with?

  1. Helps to adjust facial proportions By correcting unbalanced facial features such as a short chin, round face, wide face, or uneven jawline.
  2. Helps to create a slimmer face Most Thai women prefer a smaller jawline for a more beautiful look. Many Thai people have a naturally defined face shape, but often experience sagging skin. Fillers can lift and tighten the face frame for a more defined look.
  3. Adjust facial shape in Western style (Western style) This type of face shape has a prominent jawline. Fillers around the jawline can enhance the jawline to make it look more prominent.
  4. Jawline filler helps lift cheeks, corrects downturned mouth, and solves sagging skin problems In addition to using fillers to correct facial features, it also helps to correct sagging skin around the jawline to restore firmness and lift sagging cheeks, correct downturned corners of the mouth, and sagging skin around the cheeks.
  5. Helps to make the jawline and face frame prominent The overall jawline is a good indicator of a man's strength, so many men today are enhancing their jawline to make it look more defined, making the face look sharper and sexier.
  6. Helps to adjust and correct the jaw shape It is another option for adjusting the structure of a disproportionate jaw caused by bone erosion and fat loss as you age, or it can be a congenital condition. Fillers around the face frame can fill in the missing parts, such as an undefined chin, an unclear chin line, no angles in the jaw, or an unclear jawline. The injection is like using fillers to replace the missing bone, resulting in a more angular face and increasing the sharpness of the face.
