Who is it suitable for?
Considered for people who feel their jawline has lost definition, that the border of the lower face has blurred, or that the chin sits back.
How does it work?
Firmer hyaluronic acid fillers are placed on the bone to give structural support to the jawline. The aim is a clear, balanced border across the lower third of the face.
How is it performed?
Filler is placed in a deep plane at planned points along the jawline and chin. Facial proportions are assessed as a whole.
What to watch for afterwards
Avoid pressure on the area, saunas and heavy exercise in the first few days.
This treatment is not for everyone
Who should not have it?
Not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, where there is infection in the area, or in people with a history of allergy to hyaluronic acid.
Frequently asked
About this treatment
How long does it last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent and are absorbed over time. Because jawline treatment is placed in a deeper plane, it generally lasts longer than superficial placement; the exact duration varies.
Can it be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, so the treatment is reversible.
Is it a solution for a double chin?
Jawline filler supports the definition of the line; it does not remove an appearance caused by excess fat tissue. Nothing is planned without establishing the source of the picture, and if it is not appropriate you will be told.
Is it done for women too?
Yes. Planning follows your own facial proportions rather than gender, and the degree of definition aimed for is agreed together.
Will there be swelling or bruising?
Swelling and bruising can occur in the first days and usually settle quickly. The result should be judged once the swelling has resolved.
Is it planned together with botulinum toxin?
In some people the masseter muscle's volume also contributes to the jawline's appearance. Where that is the case, planning the two together can be considered — decided after examination.
What should I do before the appointment?
Medicines and supplements that thin the blood — aspirin, ibuprofen-type painkillers, vitamin E, omega-3 — make bruising more likely. Tell us before your appointment if you take any; whether and when to pause them is your doctor's decision. Never stop a prescribed medicine on your own. If you have a history of cold sores, say so: an injection can trigger one.
Does it hurt? Is anaesthetic used?
Very fine needles are used, and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand where it helps. Most people describe a mild sting. Pain thresholds differ, so if you are uncomfortable during the procedure just say so — it can be paused and more can be done.
Can it be done during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Aesthetic injections are not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is not enough safety data for these periods, so they are avoided. Tell us beforehand if you are or might be pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
Who performs the treatment?
The assessment, the planning and the injection are all carried out by Dr. Burak Gümüşçü. What will be done, why, and what the alternatives are is explained before anything begins.
Which products are used?
Only licensed, single-use, sterile products. If you would like to know the name and contents of the product being used, that is shared at the consultation, and the packaging is opened in front of you.
Why is there no price on the site?
Türkiye's health advertising rules prohibit clinics from publishing prices or promotional offers. Beyond that, the amount used and the number of sessions vary from person to person, so a single figure would be misleading. Your own figure is given directly after the consultation.
Can another treatment be done in the same session?
Some treatments can be planned together in one session; others need to be spaced apart. That is decided after the face is assessed as a whole — the aim is to get the order right, not to add procedures.
