Get The Perfect Jawline: Boss Injectables Guide To Jawline Filler

/in , , , /by

Thinking of getting Jawline Filler? Here at Boss Injectables, we’ve got all the information you’ll need before making the decision.

Jawline Fillers can be used for non-surgical augmentation and contouring of the jawline. Optimising the jawline with dermal fillers helps to create definition and structure in the lower third of the face.

At Boss Injectables, we use a hyaluronic acid filler for contouring the jawline. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

Who can get Jawline Fillers?

Jawline Fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be the case of increasing jaw definition to enhance natural features. For positive agers it may be to lift the lower face and minimise jowling. For weight loss clients it may be to restore lost volume and reduce sagging skin. It is also possible to correct asymmetries. Male clients may wish to create a wider-set or more masculine and chiselled jawline while our female clients may wish to accentuate their jawlines for glamorisation.

What happens to our jawline as we age?

As we age, we lose bone density within the mandible (jawbone), therefore losing structural support in the lower face, the fat pads descend to the chin area causing jowling, this causes us to lose our jawline definition. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin causing the lower face to age further. This can all improved with the use of dermal fillers to give back structure, support and hydration to the jawline and therefore lower face.

What does the Jawline Filler treatment involve?

Before we begin, we take your full medical history, discuss your concerns and complete a thorough assessment of your face. We will then discuss your treatment options, costing and answer any questions you may have. We will take photographs for our records and also for you to look back on and compare results after the treatment. We will then discuss possible side effects and risks and complete a consent form with you.

After thoroughly cleansing the face we will mark up the injections points and prepare your filler. Our registered cosmetic nurse will then inject the area using a needle and/or cannula depending on the desired outcome. The placement of the injections will vary depending on your facial shape and the look you are trying to achieve. The treatment only takes around 20 to 30 minutes depending on how many mls you require. We will then discuss aftercare and answer any further questions.

Is getting Jawline Fillers painful?

Overall, most clients find jawline fillers to be quite bearable with some occasional discomfort. We use a mixture of needle and cannula techniques in the jawline and therefore it does not require as many injections as the lips or even cheeks.  If you are feeling apprehensive, we can use a topical numbing cream on the skin surface before injecting. There is also a local numbing agent in the dermal filler, this works under the skin to numb the entire area as treatment proceeds.

How long do Jawline Fillers last?

Under manufacturers guidelines and past experience, we generally see Jawline fillers last between 12 and 18 months and sometimes up to 24 months. This varies between individuals depending on their metabolism and lifestyle factors. Due to the type of dermal filler used in the jawline we are able to achieve better longevity than that seen in the lips. We recommend attending a consult after 12-18 months to discuss re-treatment to maintain desired results. In some cases, if you re-treat sooner, such as after 12 months, you may require less volume to achieve the same result as the first time.

Is there downtime for Jawline Fillers?

There are a few possible side effects post treatment including redness, swelling, discomfort and bruising at the treatment site and these usually resolve within a week or so. It is also possible to get some small lumps, these should resolve after a few weeks. Is it therefore recommended to complete any dermal filler treatments 2 to 4 weeks before any events. There is also a rare possibility that a small blood vessel may get blocked causing pain, coldness, numbing and discoloration to the site, if this occurs you must contact the clinic immediately and return for dissolving of the filler. If you have any concerns, please contact us for advice.

What is the aftercare for Jawline Fillers?

Post Jawline Fillers, you should ensure you remain upright for the next 4 hours and do not apply any pressure to the treatment area. You should also avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for 4 hours. It is best to avoid excessive heat or cold, strenuous exercise or alcohol as these activities can increase your risk of bruising. It is also important to avoid microdermabrasion, laser or chemical peels for 2 weeks.

How much do Jawline Fillers cost?

At Boss Injectables, Jawline Fillers are $479 per ml. Most clients get good jawline sculpting results with the use of 1ml to 2mls of dermal filler per side of the jawline. However, especially with positive agers, it may be necessary to use more, that is why it is important to have a complimentary consultation and discuss a treatment plan that you are happy with.

The Power of Good Chin Fillers

/in , , /by

Are you considering chin filler as an option to enhance your appearance? If so, you’re not alone. Chin filler is one of the most popular procedures performed today. But what are the benefits of chin filler and what can you expect from the procedure? In this blog post, we’ll explore those questions and more. So, if you’re thinking about getting chin filler, keep reading!

What is chin filler and what are the benefits of using it

Chin fillers can be used for non-surgical augmentation and contouring of the chin. Optimising the chin with dermal fillers helps to create definition in the lower third of the face especially from a profile view. The chin is a central pillar of the face and needs to be in proportion with the lips, nose and jawline to give an aesthetically pleasing profile.

At Boss Injectables, we use a hyaluronic acid filler for contouring the chin. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and wears off over time. We can use it in a variety of ways across the face to achieve the desired look.

As we age, bone reabsorption occurs, causing the chin to retract backwards, the fat pads descend causing jowling, and we lose all structural support in the lower face. We also lose collagen and elastin in the skin and the downward pull of muscles strengthen giving the appearance of a sad and grumpy face. This can all be improved with the use of dermal fillers in the chin area.

How to determine if you are a good candidate for chin filler

Chin fillers are recommended to both male and female, younger and more mature positive agers. For the younger client it may be the case of improving the side profile or the lip/chin ratio. We may need to reshape a weak or receding chin, improve chin dimpling, or correct a cleft chin (aka bum chin). Male clients may wish to create a wider-set or more masculine or chiselled chin while our female clients may wish to elongate the chin for femininity. For the more mature client they may require chin filler for anti-ageing.

Dermal Lip Fillers: How Long They Last and When to Come Back

Dermal Lip Fillers: How Long They Last and When to Come Back

/in , , , , /by

Dermal lip fillers have rapidly become a cornerstone of modern cosmetic enhancements, offering individuals the opportunity to achieve fuller, more defined lips with relative ease and safety. This non-surgical procedure has soared in popularity, driven by both its immediate, visible results and the minimal downtime associated with it. However, one of the most frequently asked questions is: how long do these fillers last? Additionally, understanding when to return for a touch-up is crucial for maintaining desired results. This article delves into these aspects, providing a comprehensive guide on the longevity of dermal lip fillers and the appropriate timing for subsequent treatments.

Understanding Dermal Lip Fillers

Dermal lip fillers primarily consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to retain moisture and create volume. When injected into the lips, hyaluronic acid fillers can add volume, shape, and structure, offering a youthful, plump appearance. The most common brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero, each varying slightly in composition and longevity.

The Procedure

The process of getting lip fillers is relatively straightforward. It involves a consultation to discuss goals and expectations, followed by the actual injection, which usually takes less than an hour. A numbing cream or local anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort. Post-procedure, some swelling and bruising are normal, but these typically subside within a few days.

How Long Do Dermal Lip Fillers Last?

The longevity of dermal lip fillers depends on several factors, including the type of filler used, the individual’s metabolism, and lifestyle choices. On average, lip fillers last between six to twelve months, but this can vary.

Factors Affecting Longevity

  1. Type of Filler: Different brands and types of fillers have different formulations that can affect how long they last. For instance, Juvederm products are known for their longer-lasting results, often extending up to a year or more.
  2. Metabolism: An individual’s metabolic rate plays a significant role in how quickly the body breaks down the filler. Those with faster metabolisms may notice that their fillers dissipate more quickly.
  3. Lifestyle Choices: Habits such as smoking, excessive sun exposure, and frequent physical exercise can accelerate the breakdown of fillers. Conversely, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help prolong their effects.
  4. Injection Technique: The skill and technique of the injector also influence the longevity of the fillers. Experienced practitioners can strategically place the fillers to optimise their durability.

Natural Degradation

Hyaluronic acid is naturally absorbed by the body over time. This gradual breakdown is why fillers need to be replenished to maintain the desired look. Typically, patients start to notice a reduction in fullness after about six months, although the timeline can be shorter or longer depending on individual factors.

Signs That It’s Time for a Touch-Up

Recognising when to return for a touch-up can help maintain the aesthetic results of lip fillers. Here are some signs that it might be time to book your next appointment:

  1. Loss of Volume: The most obvious sign is a noticeable decrease in lip volume. If your lips are returning to their pre-treatment size or shape, it’s time for a refill.
  2. Changes in Shape: Over time, the fillers may shift slightly, leading to changes in the shape of the lips. If you notice any unevenness or a lack of symmetry, a touch-up may be necessary.
  3. Decreased Plumpness: If the plumpness that fillers provide starts to diminish and your lips appear less full, it’s an indicator that the fillers are wearing off.
  4. Personal Preference: Sometimes, patients prefer to maintain a certain level of enhancement and choose to top up their fillers before they fully wear off to avoid drastic changes.

When to Schedule Your Next Appointment

While the general recommendation is to get a touch-up every six to twelve months, individual needs can vary. It’s important to listen to your body and monitor how your lips look and feel over time.

Consultation with a Professional

Regular consultations with your cosmetic professional are crucial. They can assess the condition of your fillers and recommend the appropriate timing for your next appointment. During these consultations, your practitioner can evaluate your lips, discuss any changes or concerns, and plan a personalised schedule for touch-ups.

Maintenance Plan

Establishing a maintenance plan can help you keep your desired look without interruption. This plan might include regular touch-ups, adjustments to your lifestyle to prolong filler longevity, and consistent consultations with your cosmetic professional.

Dermal lip fillers offer a convenient and effective way to enhance the fullness and shape of your lips, with results that can last from six to twelve months or more. By understanding the factors that affect the longevity of fillers and recognising when to return for a touch-up, you can maintain your desired look with minimal hassle. Regular consultations with a skilled professional are key to achieving and sustaining the best results. Remember, the journey to beautiful lips is ongoing, and with proper care and planning, you can enjoy fuller, more youthful lips for years to come.

For those considering lip fillers or looking to maintain their current results, it’s important to choose a reputable provider and adhere to recommended follow-up schedules. This ensures that you receive the best possible care and achieve the most satisfying outcomes. Whether you’re new to lip fillers or a seasoned veteran, understanding the timeline and signs for touch-ups will keep your lips looking fabulous and fresh.
