The UK saw an estimated 15 thousand cosmetic procedures in 2021.
For many people, plastic surgery can improve self-esteem and increase personal safety, such as when excess eyelid skin is removed. Plastic surgery can even provide pain relief.
Unfortunately, not everyone can afford cosmetic surgery. There is also significant downtime, which sends candidates in search of more viable options.
Dermal fillers in Glasgow are an excellent means of improving your jawline without the need for an invasive procedure. Here’s what you need to know.
1. What Happens During the Procedure?
Jawline fillers are a quick outpatient procedure and aren’t invasive, making them a quick alternative to cosmetic surgery. They take roughly half an hour and involve a series of small injections.
These injections typically contain hyaluronic acid filler and are injected into your jawline, altering your appearance almost immediately.
The procedure might be moderately uncomfortable, but you can ask for a local anaesthetic or a topical numbing cream to make it as comfortable as possible.
2. Are There Risks and Side Effects?
There are always potential risks and side effects with any type of medical procedure.
When getting jawline filler, you might experience injection site bruising, redness, or swelling. You may also experience tenderness.
It’s common for side effects to only last a few days. You should always work with a trusted and experienced provider for the best results.
3. How Long Do Results Last For?
Temporary jawline fillers can last between 6 to 12 months. Your body eventually breaks down any hyaluronic acid fillers and absorbs them.
If you wish to maintain your results, you’ll need additional fillers.
4. Does Jawline Filler Require Maintenance?
Once your doctor injects your marionette lines filler or jawline filler, you’ll need to follow all aftercare instructions. This way you’ll have the best results possible.
You may be asked to avoid strenuous activity. You may also have to avoid extreme temperatures, such as heat and cold.
Although you may be tempted to touch your jawline, you may be asked to avoid touching or massaging the area. It’s important to practice protective skincare, avoiding the sun’s harmful UV rays.

5. Types of Fillers
You have several jawline filler options. Temporary fillers commonly use Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium Hydroxyapatite, or Poly-lactic acid (PLLA).
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, you can consider Polymethylmethacrylate. This type of filler injects fat from another part of your body but is more invasive.
