Clinical Context: The Importance of Masculine Jawline Definition
A strong,
well‑defined jawline and chin are key markers of youthful and masculine facial
structure. However, age-related fat redistribution, bone resorption, and skin
laxity can diminish these features. A nonsurgical, combined filler approach
employing Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and high-G’ Hyaluronic Acid
(HA) has been shown to effectively restore structure without surgical
intervention.
Scientific Foundation & Anatomical Approach
In a
systematic analysis of chin and jaw augmentation techniques, Moradi et al.
(2019) describe how layering CaHA and HA fillers across masseteric, buccal, and
mental zones achieves natural, linear jawline contouring. Detailed cadaveric
dissections informed precise anatomical landmark identification, reducing risk
and enhancing aesthetic precision.
Patient Profile and Treatment Protocol
A
45-year-old male with mild chin retrusion and poor jawline definition underwent
a two-stage nonsurgical filler treatment for lower face enhancement. In the
first session, diluted CaHA (Radiesse®, 1:1 with saline-lidocaine) was injected
supraperiosteally at defined points along the mandibular angle to reestablish
structural support. In the second session, a high-G’ HA filler was layered
superficially to fine-tune projection and soft tissue density.
Outcomes and Results
Physician
assessments revealed a visibly straighter and more angular jawline at 3-month
follow-up. Volume enhancement was balanced and congruent with masculine
aesthetics, in line with reported outcomes where 88–90 % of patients expressed high
satisfaction scores. No adverse events were reported, and improved definition
persisted at six months.
Discussion: Synergy of CaHA + HA
Combining
CaHA and HA leverages a dual-modality effect, CaHA rebuilds structural
collagen scaffolding while HA fine-tunes volume and projection. This multimodal
method aligns with current evidence supporting layered filler strategies for
lower face rejuvenation. Precise anatomical placement and product layering are
essential for maintaining masculine contour while minimizing risk.
Conclusion
This case
study confirms that nonsurgical chin and jawline augmentation with CaHA and
HA fillers is a safe and effective alternative to surgery. When guided by
anatomical precision and filler-specific rheology, the result is a stronger
lower-face profile with high durability and minimal recovery time. Current
literature supports this approach as a reliable method for patients seeking
structural enhancement without invasive procedures.
