Have you ever wondered what the secret is to a defined jawline and a more sculpted face?
One of the most appreciated facial features among my patients is a well-defined jawline. It’s more than just a trend; it’s the pursuit of a face that reflects youth, confidence, and harmony. A sculpted jawline visually elongates the neck, highlights the cheekbones, and projects a more youthful image.
If you’re wondering how to define your jawline and achieve that harmonious profile, stay with me. Today, I’ll share the most effective solutions to help you achieve it.
🔍 Causes Behind the Loss of Definition and Firmness in the Jawline
Many patients come to me asking why they’ve lost firmness in their neck, particularly in the jawline area. The answer is complex, but I’ll explain it simply:
💡 Genetics and Localized Fat Deposits
You might have noticed that the distribution of body fat in your body is similar to that of your mom or grandmother. Our bodies are “programmed” to store fat in specific areas, even when there is no significant weight gain. Additionally, this localized or stubborn fat, which forms the “double chin,” is very resistant to diet or exercise, and it often appears in younger individuals as well.
⚖️ Weight Gain
When we gain weight, we store fat all over our body. Some people, due to genetics, are more prone to developing a double chin, having fuller cheeks, and a thicker neck, which makes the face lose its natural angles.
🔬 Loss of Collagen and Elastin
Around the age of 25, our bodies start producing less collagen and elastin—proteins that provide support to the skin—causing it to lose its firmness. When combined with the effects of gravity, this leads not only to a prominent double chin but also to significant changes in the facial oval.
Understanding these factors is the first step in tackling the aesthetic issue at its root, ensuring that you get the results you desire.
🌟 Best Options to Define Your Jawline
Now that you know the reasons why the jawline loses its definition, let me introduce you to the most effective options to regain its appearance, focusing on personalization and balance.
📡 Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment where electromagnetic waves are used to generate heat and direct it deep into the skin layers. The treatment works by contracting the existing collagen and elastin fibers, helping to restore skin firmness.
Depending on the case, we can use traditional RF or advanced technologies such as radiofrequency with microneedles (RF Microneedling) to maximize penetration and results.
🪡 Thread Lifting
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive treatment that improves the appearance of the neck and jawline, while also stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
The most commonly used materials for this purpose are polydioxanone (PDO), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and caprolactone (PCL), which are biodegradable materials widely used in aesthetic medicine and naturally dissolve over time.
I want to emphasize this point: while permanent materials, such as polypropylene, exist, they are not recommended for thread lifting, especially in the face and neck, as they can appear unnatural and fail to adapt to the natural changes that occur in the body.
🔪 Segmental Facial Liposuction
The definitive solution to localized fat accumulation and the loss of firmness is cosmetic surgery. Segmental facial liposuction is the gold standard for removing a double chin, as it allows us to remove the accumulated fat deposits in the jawline and neck area.
Since it is segmental, it enables us to remove only the necessary fat to sculpt the facial contour, achieving a smooth transition between the neck and jawline. This is essential for allowing your bone structure to naturally stand out, ensuring a balanced result.
At Soulya, we had the opportunity to train directly with Dr. Mur in Argentina, the creator of the Segmental Facial Liposuction technique. We learned firsthand the anatomical and artistic principles that make this procedure a true revolution in facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional double chin liposuction, Segmental Facial Liposuction precisely targets different areas of the face—such as the jawline, chin contour, and cheeks—to achieve natural harmony and a more defined profile. This technique combines science, art, and sensitivity, making it ideal for those seeking rejuvenation without losing their essence. Today, we are one of the few plastic surgeons in Mexico who perform this procedure, and we take pride in offering our patients elegant, safe, and profoundly transformative results.
🌟 Winning Combinations for Spectacular Results
As a specialist, my duty is to be honest with you. Many of my patients don’t achieve the results they want with just one method. This is mainly due to two factors: a significant accumulation of fat combined with a loss of skin firmness.
The good news is that combining treatments is not only key to getting satisfactory results, but it also helps with better recovery. Combining segmental facial liposuction with radiofrequency will stimulate collagen production, prevent post-surgical fibrosis, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, and provide a more youthful appearance.
⚖️ Other Recommendations to Maintain a Defined Jawline
Now that we’ve discussed the best treatments to eliminate stubborn fat, let’s touch on something very important: the care you should follow to maintain your results for the long term. Here are my best tips:
🥗 Watch Your Diet
During liposuction and radiofrequency treatments, we break down fat deposits in your neck. However, if you gain weight, the residual fat or surrounding fat can grow and become inflamed. It’s crucial to maintain a healthy diet, avoiding excess salt, sugar, sodas, and alcohol, which contribute to inflammation.
🏋️♀️ Exercise Regularly
Keeping up with a consistent exercise routine helps preserve muscle tone throughout your body, including your neck. I should clarify that exercise alone won’t eliminate localized fat, but practices like facial yoga can improve posture and the overall appearance of your face.
💆♀️ Indulge in Lymphatic Drainage Massages
In addition to radiofrequency, lymphatic drainage is a highly recommended technique to enhance your results. These massages stimulate lymph circulation, helping to eliminate fluids and toxins from your body, maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Plus, you can do these massages regularly to maintain a youthful appearance.
🌟 Take the First Step Toward a More Sculpted and Defined Face
As you can see, having a sculpted profile is not about luck or age; it’s about combining several factors. My commitment to my patients goes beyond just the procedure—I want to hear your expectations, address your concerns, and design the best strategy together to achieve the most natural-looking results.
Defining your jawline is a step toward a more balanced face that reflects the beauty within you. This is the moment to stop wondering how to do it and start making plans to make it happen.
