In brief
- With age, connective tissue loses firmness and the face's natural volume decreases, so the cheeks sag, the jawline becomes blurred and the chin looks receding.
- Jawline contouring with hyaluronic acid injections makes it possible to accentuate the line, soften it, or improve the appearance of sagging cheeks and a receding chin.
- Results after hyaluronic acid filling usually last between 12 and 18 months, and the breakdown of the filler can be accelerated using the enzyme Hylase.
- At Dermacare we use the brands Juvéderm, Stylage and Revanesse, as well as the filler Ellansé, which lasts from one to four years and stimulates collagen production.
- The change is subtle and natural when the treatment is carried out by a skilled doctor, and sometimes a small amount of hyaluronic acid makes a big difference.
The jawline is the line that defines the contour of the lower jaw and separates the face from the neck. Accentuating or contouring the jawline has become a prominent trend in the world of aesthetics in recent years. A face with sharp lines is not only seen as visually attractive but also conveys a youthful, fresh and vibrant look. In this article we will show you how to say goodbye to sagging cheeks and a receding chin.
The sagging effect of the skin
It is no surprise that a defined jawline is so important. Over the years, the natural ageing process affects the appearance of the face. Connective tissue loses its firmness, the skin loses moisture and elasticity, and the face's natural volume decreases. As a result, fat tends to "sag" downwards. Experts call this the "sagging effect" (Sacking Effect): the boundary between the neck and face becomes blurred, sagging cheeks change the natural silhouette, and the chin "disappears". Simply put, over time the shape of the face changes, taking on a droopy, less defined look and even creating a disproportionate appearance.
What is the solution for a sagging chin?
In the past, the only way to deal with these changes was invasive surgery. Today, however, thanks to advances in aesthetic medicine, jawline contouring with hyaluronic acid injections has become a simple, safe and popular treatment among women and men alike. Treatment with hyaluronic acid will restore sharp, defined lines to the face with minimal risk.
Jawline contouring uses hyaluronic acid – a natural substance found in the body that is responsible for skin volume and its full, fresh appearance. As we age, production of this acid naturally decreases, and injecting it makes it possible to "refill" the face. This filling effect balances the shape of the face, adds moisture to the skin and restores lost volume. The result is a smoother, more defined look and improved volume and elasticity of the facial skin.
How to say goodbye to sagging cheeks and a receding chin?
The jawline can be contoured in different ways using hyaluronic acid injections. The filler can be injected along the jawline to create an accentuated, sharp look, to conceal small imperfections or to correct unflattering shapes and sagging. If the line looks too sharp, it can be softened gently. In the case of cheeks that have sagged due to loss of tissue support, the treatment can improve the overall appearance and give a lifted, youthful and vibrant look. Treatment for a receding chin is carried out in a similar way and contributes to a more balanced facial appearance. The changes are subtle and natural, and when a skilled doctor performs the treatment, the result blends well with your natural look – sometimes a small amount of hyaluronic acid can make a big difference.
"A small change, a big result".
Hyaluronic acid is naturally absorbed by the body over time, a process that can be accelerated by injecting an enzyme called Hylase. Results after hyaluronic acid filling usually last between 12 and 18 months. This varies greatly from person to person, and the rate depends on the body's metabolism. At Dermacare we use leading brands of hyaluronic acid, such as Juvéderm, Stylage and Revanesse, which offer high-quality results and high durability. These brands were chosen for their ability to integrate well into the tissues, provide a natural look and support the skin over time while maintaining moisture and elasticity.
In addition, we offer Ellansé – a new-generation filler that comes in four levels of durability and can last from one to four years. Ellansé not only fills and contours the jawline but also stimulates the body to produce natural collagen, which keeps the skin firm, supple and youthful. The collagen supports skin renewal over time and provides a combined effect of filling and renewal.

Frequently asked questions
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. Chemically, it is a chain of sugar molecules with a very high capacity to absorb and retain water. In anti-aging, hyaluronic acid is used to treat wrinkles because of its ability to bind an amount of water 6,000 times its own weight – that is, one gram of hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 6 litres of water. In the human body, most hyaluronic acid is found in the skin, where it helps hold the cells together and keeps the skin moisturised. It is also found in the joints and the eyes.
From the age of 25, the body produces less hyaluronic acid, and by the age of 60 only about 10% of the original reserve remains in the body.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are particularly suitable for treating expression lines around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, hollow cheeks, hollows under the eyes (tear trough contouring) and the jawline. In addition, hyaluronic acid is also used to contour the chin, add volume to the lips and rejuvenate the skin of the neck and décolletage. At Dermacare clinic, hyaluronic acid is combined in particular in the vampire facial (PRP), in which platelet-rich plasma is injected together with hyaluronic acid. This treatment helps to smooth, tighten and renew the skin for a young, fresh look.
Botox is a liquid protein that relaxes, in a targeted way, the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. As a result, the wrinkles are reduced. The substance is injected directly into the muscle that causes the wrinkle. The effect lasts between 4 and 6 months.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural, gel-like substance that is injected into or under the skin. Thanks to its ability to bind water, the substance adds volume to the tissue, and so helps reduce wrinkles or smooth the skin. Depending on the product used, hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body over 9 to 24 months.
We use high-quality hyaluronic acid from the world's leading manufacturers, containing lidocaine – an anaesthetic that helps reduce the sensation of pain. During the injection, lidocaine numbs the treated area, so the treatment is barely felt and is performed with minimal discomfort, thanks to the use of an ultra-thin needle.
