And this has been proven by research by American psychologists!
The angles of the lower jaw can be simply smoothed, not expressive, and this makes the face softer. For men, this can result in a lack of masculinity and decisiveness in appearance; for women, this can result in a lack of some “vampirism” and coquetry. It is believed that a pronounced lower jaw is a sign of “breed”, which can affect society’s perception of a person.
Aesthetic studies have shown that the average mandibular angle in women is 125 degrees , but this value varies even among aesthetically attractive patients.
The main goal when correcting the lower part of the face is to emphasize and make the patient’s natural mandibular angle more pronounced.
You should not strive for the geometric number of a specific angle! Simply accentuate the corners!
Correction of the lower jaw is often carried out in combination with changes to the chin , and sometimes it is carried out not as a single manipulation, but as a component of a complex for correcting the entire oval of the face, for example in the “Jolie profile” procedure.
Photos before and after complex correction
Here and below, the before and after photos were taken by cosmetologists of our clinic using cannula technology.
Unlike the middle third of the face, where soft boundaries are aesthetically ideal, the transition from the jaw line to the neck is characterized by clearer angles and lines, which are important to recreate during correction. Therefore, to correct this area, dense preparations with good elasticity are desirable.
After the age of 35-40, special attention should be paid to the correction of the upper and middle third of the face (zygomatic area and facial wrinkles of the forehead).
Sometimes, at the angles of the lower jaw, some patients trim the shape of the chin in front and profile. This is not a mistake, but rather a comprehensive approach to correcting this zone.
Surgery to increase the angles of the lower jaw
Mandibuloplasty is an operation to implant implants and is performed under general anesthesia . Recovery takes 5-8 weeks (osteotomy of the lower jaw bones often occurs). The cost of correction starts from 180,000 rubles with an experienced surgeon. Practice shows that after 10-15 years, implants need to be changed.
Compared to surgery, correction with fillers is quick, painless and without a recovery period.
Taking into account all the costs and health hazards, it is more profitable to visit a cosmetologist once every 12-15 months to introduce fillers into the corner area for 7-10 years.
How to enlarge your chin without surgery. How to reduce your chin without surgery?
Most often, the cause of massiveness and irregular contours of the lower part of the face is a double chin. Accumulation of fat under the lower jaw most often occurs due to poor nutrition and slower metabolism with age. You can get rid of fat deposits in this area using liposuction, exercise, diet, mesotherapy and Botox.
Home methods
Regularly performing special exercises aimed at training the cervical, sublingual, and chewing muscles allows you to get rid of fat while simultaneously tightening the skin under the lower jaw without surgery. Exercises to correct the shape of this area should be done several times a day, performing each 5-7 times.
Correcting your diet also helps reduce the chin area. Stop eating fried, flour and fatty, sweet or salty foods - and in a few weeks the double chin will disappear. The exception is fatty sea fish. The special composition of 3- and 6-omega acids allows a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, increasing its elasticity.
Liposuction
If home correction methods do not help, liposuction can help reduce the volume of fat deposits in the chin area and change its shape. The procedure involves the destruction of adipose tissue under the influence of special drugs or dosed ultrasound radiation, followed by removal with a special syringe or vacuum method. A minimally invasive correction procedure allows you to achieve the desired shape and tighten the contours of the lower part of the face in one go.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is an injection technique that includes a course of injections of vitamin preparations. They promote the dissolution of adipose tissue with its subsequent removal through the lymph flow, increase skin turgor, and moisturize the skin. The procedure improves the shape of the chin and tightens the contours of the face without surgery.
Botox injections
The introduction of botulinum toxin also allows you to significantly strengthen the chin and give clarity to its contours without surgery. A feature of this zone is a large number of small muscles, which increases the risk of drug migration. Therefore, the correction procedure with botulinum toxin should be carried out by an experienced doctor who knows exactly the location of the facial muscles.
Botox muscle paralysis can improve facial contours, remove fine wrinkles under the lip, and correct the shape of a “lumpy” chin.
Angles = stylish. Young patients.
There has always been fashion for a straight jaw line and its defined angle - remember the same Nefertiti. And Angelina Jolie only strengthened this trend.
Corrections occur using both needles and a cannula. The procedure is practically painless, especially if a cannula is used - just one puncture on the face allows you to correct the entire line of the lower jaw and angles.
The volume of drugs for correction in young patients ranges from 2 to 4 ml on both sides of the face.
The result lasts for 10-15 months, depending on the drugs and their quantity.
We will talk about the drugs that are used below.
Photos before and after correction of the angles of the lower jaw with filler
After correction:
- the jaw becomes clearly defined;
- the face from the front acquires a correct and proportional shape;
- Age-related manifestations become less noticeable - jowls and sagging skin (if any);
- in profile and in 3/4 view the patient becomes visually younger
What is proportional face?
For a face to be visually perceived as beautiful, it must be proportional. It is considered as such if the distance from the hairline to the bridge of the nose, from the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose, and from the tip of the nose to the top of the chin are the same.
It is also important to take into account a person’s gender. Women's chin should not be too massive or receding. And for men, this is a sign of firmness and courage. However, the beveled version for representatives of either sex is not correct.
Angles = rejuvenation. Older patients.
The severity of the LF line allows cosmetologists to combat the correction of age-related changes! By working on the volume of the lower third and correcting not only the angle of the jaw, but also the chin area, you can achieve significant rejuvenation and eliminate age-related problems caused by ptosis.
Young or old patient - this border is quite arbitrary. Manifestations of ptosis and sagging of the jaw area are often observed already at 30-35 years of age, and the absence of a clear angle of the lower jaw can even be present from birth (anatomically determined).
The minimum volumes of the drug to achieve the required result with simultaneous corrections of the entire lower jaw line cannot be less than 1.5 ml on one side.
Only comprehensive correction of the entire lower jaw line and chin area can truly rejuvenate the patient!
Cosmetologists do not need to be shy and “smear” 1 ml over the entire half, or even the entire face, but they need to explain (!!!) to patients the principles and methods of correction, so that later there will be no accusations - “here, the doctor, promoted me by 3 ml."
The volume of drugs for correction in older patients ranges from 3 to 6 ml on both sides of the face.
The result lasts for 12-15 months, depending on the drugs and their quantity. As we age, our metabolism slows down, so the results of the procedure are noticeable longer.
Photos before and after correction of the angles of the lower jaw with filler
In both cases in the photo, in addition to work in the area of the corners of the LF, work was carried out in the area of the chin or mental fold.
What about plastic surgery?
Simultaneous correction to tighten the jowls (platysmoplasty or SMAS lifting) and accentuate the angles of the lower jaw (mandibuloplasty) will cost from 300,000-350,000 rubles.
The cost of correction with fillers is 50,000-70,000 rubles. The difference is in general anesthesia and the availability of money. And in choosing a surgeon.

Girls with a “heavy” jaw can’t do without some makeup tricks
Your task, firstly, is to divert attention from the lower part of the face and focus on others - for example, eyebrows or lips. Secondly, to correctly correct the oval of the face - for this you still have to master the contouring technique
With its help, you can make the lower part of the face more oval, thus softening the “corners”, and ultimately get a softer image. How to do this at home? Follow our instructions.
1
Make a face correction
For contouring, you will need a foundation in two shades - half a tone lighter and one tone darker than your own skin color (in the second case, a regular one can be an alternative).
Apply a dark shade of foundation to the sides of the jaw and blend towards the temples. With a light shade, focus on the center of the chin and blend the cream to the side, towards the ears, and up towards the lips.
Apply the same shade to the middle of the forehead, the central part of the face and cheekbones - this way you will divert attention from the chin

Shape your eyebrows
The shape of the eyebrows should be - this will help soften the “angles” and make the oval of the face softer.
3
Apply blush
Don't forget about blush. Apply a bright shade generously to the prominent parts of your cheekbones (the main thing is not to overdo it), and a less saturated shade under the cheekbones.
4
Say yes to bright lipstick
Focus on your lips: paint them with any bright lipstick that suits you (to do this correctly, follow our guide)
This will also help draw attention away from a heavy chin.
Fillers for correction of angles and lines of the lower jaw.
The preparations should be quite dense, but most importantly, with good plasticity and viscosity in order to keep their shape.
- Juvederm Voluma is based on hyaluronic acid, its structure is quite viscous, repeated administration will be required no earlier than after 5 months;
- Belotero Volume is the latest generation of drugs based on hyaluronic acid, characterized by the most uniform distribution and the absence of side effects in the recovery and delayed periods;
- Surjiderm is a classic drug, after administration no lumps/tubercles form, the result lasts for 6 months;
- Radiesse is a unique drug that not only makes the appearance expressive, but also promotes skin rejuvenation by stimulating the generation of collagen; repeated procedures are usually recommended only after 12-15 months.
The price of introducing 1.5 ml of filler depends on the manufacturer of the drug and ranges from 20,000 to 26,000 rubles.
If the patient has a wide projection of the lower jaw (square type of lower face), in addition to fillers based on hyaluronic acid, botulinum therapy of the masseter muscle and platysma can be used.
Complications
A crooked jaw is not just an aesthetic issue. An improperly formed bite can speed up the process of tooth wear and decay. In particularly serious cases, this defect can lead to improper functioning of the temporomandibular joint and even speech impairment.
Incorrectly positioned teeth are the cause of some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, this pathology often causes deformation of the skull.
This is why it is so important to consult a dentist in a timely manner to correct your bite.
In the video, a specialist talks about the need to correct a malocclusion.
Indications for use
Correction of the chin and lower third of the face is recommended in the following cases:
- the patient has a disproportion of the lower third of the face (the chin is too small in relation to other parts of the face, it looks inharmonious, there is not enough volume);
- to eliminate pronounced asymmetry of the chin area, which can be congenital or as a result of injuries suffered after an accident;
- for tightening soft tissues that sag with age;
- the client wants to correct the shape of the face, make it round, triangular, more feminine;
- the patient wants to get rid of dimples and other defects on the chin.
Chinplasty is performed on patients over 23 years of age. Before this age, the human facial skeleton is just forming, so this kind of procedure is not allowed.
Rehabilitation period
Changing the shape of the chin using fillers has a short and easy rehabilitation period. Immediately after the injection of fillers, hematomas, bruises, swelling and edema may appear at the puncture sites. The risk of side effects during menstruation and hormonal changes in the patient’s body increases significantly.
The chin area after correction requires special care. This is necessary to speed up the recovery process and prevent the filler from moving. Please observe the following rules and restrictions:
- Do not touch your face with your hands for at least 8 hours after correction;
- For 2 weeks, forget about foundation, powder and makeup products, in particular, do not apply cosmetics to the chin area;
- sauna, solarium, bathhouse, swimming pool are contraindicated for at least 2 weeks, until the integrity of the skin is completely restored;
- Cosmetic procedures (peelings, massages) are also not allowed. The exception is hardware cosmetology methods prescribed by a doctor for medicinal purposes;
- try to avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen with a high degree of protection before going outside;
- sports and increased physical activity during the rehabilitation period are not recommended. Particles of generated sweat can get into wounds (punctures) and cause an inflammatory process;
- Alcoholic drinks and smoking slow down recovery, so cosmetologists advise avoiding them altogether.
If complications occur or the recovery process is protracted, the doctor may prescribe special wound-healing, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs. Self-medication is not safe!
