These procedures can help contour your jawline.

Jawline contouring has become a main focus in the beauty world, leaving many seeking options for a more chiseled face. Some individuals lack bone structure for a defined jawline while others carry more volume under their chin despite being a healthy weight. There are several plastic surgery options that can help achieve a more sculpted and contoured look.


1. Submentoplasty:


  • How it works: Submentoplasty removes excess tissue (deep fat, excess skin and muscle) that contributes to a fuller look around the chin and jawline. This procedure can be combined with a mini lift or full facelift.


  • Ideal for: Individuals with fullness caused by deep fat under the neck muscles.


2. Chin Liposuction:


  • How it works: Liposuction can remove excess fat from under the chin (double chin), helping to define the jawline and create a more sculpted appearance. Unlike submentoplasty, it only reduces fat tissue above the muscle.


  • Ideal for: Individuals with excess submental fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. 

3. Prejowl Chin Implant:


  • How it works: Safe silicone implant mimics chin structure for a more projected chin or to reduce the appearance of jowls.



  • Ideal for: Individuals with weak bone structure in their jawline.


A contoured jawline can be achieved with one of these procedures or a combination of these procedures depending on your anatomy. We can help guide you towards the best procedures for your desired outcome.
