Dermal filler-based enhancement of the jawline has become a popular method of non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This relatively novel application of fillers has the ability to camouflage the early senescence of the lower face caused by bony erosion, soft tissue ptosis, and volumetric changes in the periphery of the cervico-mandibular region. In this article, the authors review the age-related shifts that contribute to the loss of youthfulness of the lower face and outline the relevant neurovascular anatomy, regional aesthetic analysis and proper patient selection criteria that govern the successful delivery of high-quality results in this novel application of dermal fillers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
