Jawline Contouring
Conveniently located to serve Houston and Bellaire
Dr. Mirwat Sami has a great deal of experience with non-surgical jawline contouring for Houston patients. As we age, we get jowls, and skin begins to sag around the chin and jaw regions. Loose skin can obscure the jawline, creating an older and out-of-shape appearance.
Having a defined jawline can reveal a great deal about our overall health and fitness. Many people attempt to achieve a sculpted jawline through dieting and exercise without success. Non-surgical methods of neck and jawline contouring can correct the appearance of sagging skin, excess fat, and loose muscle tissue.
What Is Non-Surgical Jawline Contouring?
Non-surgical jawline contouring uses injectable treatments to correct sagging skin, reduce excess fat, and address loose muscle tissue. These methods are ideal for individuals who want to improve their jawline definition without the downtime associated with a surgical procedure.

Neck and Jawline Contouring Without Surgery
Non-surgical options work well for people who are in need of subtler contouring than surgery offers. The following non-surgical neck and jawline options are available:
- Kybella for a Double Chin – This injectable deoxycholic-acid treatment is specifically designed to destroy excess fat in the submental area (the region under the chin). The fat cells are then gradually naturally filtered out by the body. Several sessions may be required to achieve optimal results. The results are permanent, provided you maintain your weight appropriately.
- Botox for Masseter Muscles – Botox is an injectable neuromodulator that is directly injected into masseter (jaw) muscles to achieve a contoured and slim appearance. The masseter muscle is thinned out on both sides of the face, and results last up to four months.
- Dermal Fillers – Dermal fillers are injected directly into the jawline, restoring volume to address hollow regions. Results appear instantly, and effects last six months to a year or longer depending on the filler product chosen.

Who is a Candidate for Jawline Contouring?
Ideal candidates for non-surgical jawline and neck contouring are those seeking to improve their profile and address common signs of aging. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Lost skin density
- The appearance of jowls
- A desire to regain sharper profile contours
The Jawline Contouring Process
On the day of your procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed first. A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin to manage discomfort. Once the area is prepared, Dr. Sami uses a very fine-gauge needle to administer the selected product. These injections are placed with precision into the target areas, such as the submental fat, the masseter muscles, or directly along the jawbone to add definition.
These non-surgical treatments require no downtime. Patients may experience some minor redness or swelling, but in most cases, you can resume your daily activities immediately.
Results and Longevity
Non-surgical contouring can lead to significant aesthetic improvements. Patients can expect a reduction in the appearance of sagging skin, a more defined jawline, and overall better facial harmony.
Results vary by treatment. Dermal fillers offer instant volume, while Kybella results appear gradually as the body filters fat cells. The effects are long-lasting, typically from 8-18 months, depending on the treatment and patient.
Jawline Contouring Cost
The price of jawline contouring will depend on your chosen method of contouring, along with many other factors. Total treatment time and the combination of treatment options can affect the final price.

FAQs: Non-Surgical Jawline and Neck Contouring
Cosmetic neck and jawline injectable treatments that use fat-dissolving formulas and dermal fillers are not considered painful. Comfort management techniques such as fine-gauge needles and topical numbing creams minimize discomfort during the procedure. Patients typically have a positive and well-tolerated experience.
Yes, for comprehensive non-invasive facial rejuvenation, non-surgical neck and jawline contouring is often combined with other cosmetic treatments such as Botox injections to relax dynamic forehead wrinkles and expression lines.
Non-surgical neck and jawline contouring offers patients the advantages of shorter treatment sessions and no downtime. Patients may experience some redness or swelling, but in most cases, they can resume their daily activities immediately following the appointment. Post-procedure care instructions may include minor precautions to optimize the recovery period.
Board-certified physicians in the field of surgical procedures of the eyes, face, and neck as well as dermatologists, possess the expertise needed for these treatments and can oversee treatment plans and procedures performed by other specialty-trained and qualified aesthetic care team member,s such as certified aesthetic nurse specialists (CANS), nurse practitioners (NPs), and licensed physician assistants (PAs).
Yes, non-surgical dermal filler contouring with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is indeed reversible using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down HA. However, note that some non-HA filler products do not have a specific reversal agent, and their effects are more gradual. Over time, non-HA fillers that cannot be dissolved will naturally fade back to the patient’s baseline. A preview treatment with a dissolvable HA-based filler may be an ideal solution before exploring non-HA-based products. This approach allows patients to assess their response to fillers, refine their desired results, and ensure a more controlled and manageable outcome.
