Jawline Contouring with Dr. Zeinab Hedayat
A considered approach to lower-face definition, focused on refinement and proportion rather than an artificial or overly angular result.
Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
Overview
What Is Jawline Contouring?
Jawline contouring uses injectable treatments to improve definition, structure, and balance in the lower face. Depending on your anatomy and goals, this may involve hyaluronic acid filler, botulinum toxin, or a combination of both, planned individually with Dr. Hedayat.
Jawline contouring draws on the same injectable techniques used in the Dermal Fillers and Botox treatments, applied specifically to lower-face structure and balance.

Process
The Treatment Process
01
Marking
The jawline, chin, and surrounding structures are assessed and marked to guide precise, symmetrical treatment.
02
Precise Injection Technique
Filler, botulinum toxin, or both are administered at carefully selected points depending on your treatment plan.
03
Aftercare
Simple aftercare guidance is provided to support comfort and an even result.
04
Follow-Up If Needed
A follow-up review can be arranged to assess results and discuss any further refinement.
Duration & Recovery
What to Expect Afterward
01
Treatment Day
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at injection points is common and generally short-lived.
02
First Few Days
Swelling and bruising typically settle; individual healing time varies.
03
Following Weeks
The refined contour continues to settle. Where botulinum toxin is used, its effect is temporary and gradually diminishes over time; results and duration vary between individuals.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will jawline contouring look natural?
The goal is refinement and proportion, not an artificial or overly angular result. Dr. Hedayat plans treatment around your existing facial anatomy for a natural-looking outcome.
Is jawline contouring the same as a dermal filler treatment?
It can involve dermal filler, but jawline contouring is planned specifically around lower-face structure and may also include botulinum toxin for masseter-related shaping, depending on your anatomy and goals.
How long do results last?
Duration depends on the products used and your individual response. Filler-based contouring and toxin-based masseter shaping have different timelines, both of which are discussed during consultation.
Is jawline contouring painful?
Most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort during injection. A topical numbing cream can be used if needed.
Can jawline contouring help with a wider jaw caused by muscle tension?
In selected cases where masseter muscle activity contributes to a wider jaw appearance, botulinum toxin may be considered as part of your treatment plan.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate?
Candidacy depends on your facial anatomy, goals, and medical history, all reviewed during an individual consultation with Dr. Hedayat.
