what is Jawline Contouring?
The jawline is an area of the face that is drastically affected by weight loss, weight gain, and aging. For some patients, loose skin collects beneath the chin as they age, leading to a lack of confidence about their facial appearance. Other people desire a more contoured or better defined jawline. DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, led by Dr. Jaimie DeRosa, is proud to offer jawline contouring, a highly customized procedure to help slim and sculpt your jawline. Depending on your needs, aesthetic goals, and our double board certified facial plastic surgeons' medical advice, your procedure could include Candela's Profound RF radiofrequency microneedling treatment, injectable dermal fillers, injectable Botox or Dysport, injectable fat reduction, chin implant, or possibly a combination of these options. For more information about this procedure, schedule a consultation at our Boston, MA facility.
