The jawline plays an important role in defining the transition between the face and neck. As part of the natural ageing process, a number of structural changes occur that can alter the appearance of this area. Bone resorption gradually reduces the framework that supports the lower face, while fat pads begin to shrink and shift downward. These changes, combined with a decline in collagen and elastin, can reduce skin elasticity and firmness.
Over time, this combination of factors may contribute to a softer jawline and the formation of jowls. Muscle activity in the lower face and neck can also contribute to these changes, as repeated downward pulls influence how tissues settle. Genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure — such as time in the sun — further shape how and when these signs of ageing become noticeable.
All clients are required to have a one-on-one consultation before commencing any treatment that may involve a prescriptive medication. Each consultation is scheduled for a minimum of 45 minutes to allow time for a detailed discussion and assessment.
During your consultation, our team will take the time to understand your goals, review your facial anatomy, and discuss how the natural ageing process can influence the lower face. This process helps us provide clear information about which treatment options may be appropriate for you, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
At your appointment, we’ll also share tailored aftercare guidance and provide you with a copy by email for easy reference.
We encourage you to bring along any questions — your consultation is the ideal opportunity to talk through your concerns and explore the options available.
