How to prepare for jawline sculpting.

Jawline sculpting is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment to enhance and rejuvenate your appearance. As it is a medical procedure, proper preparation is key to a successful treatment. Ensure you are properly prepared with our checklist.

1. Research and Choose Wisely

  • Verify the practitioner’s qualifications and experience with the specific procedure.
  • Research the clinic’s hygiene standards and safety protocols.
  • Ensure the product used (fillers, threads, etc.) is TGA-approved using the ARTG register.
  • Read reviews and testimonials from other patients.

2. Schedule a Consultation

Always start with a consultation, and ensure it is with a reputable clinic. Discuss your concerns and be clear about the result you want. Ensure you learn about how the treatment works, the risks, and what you need to do after.

3. Preparing for your treatment

  • Avoiding certain supplements: Some herbal supplements can increase bleeding risk. Always check with the clinic before stopping any medication.
  • Stopping smoking: Smoking will impair healing and increase infection risk.
  • Avoiding alcohol: Alcohol can affect blood pressure and interact with medications.
  • Remove your makeup before arriving for your appointment.
  • Shave or closely trim any facial hair along your jawline the day before to improve the precision of your treatment, and reduce infection risk.

Never hesitate to speak up if you have concerns or feel uncomfortable at any point leading up to your treatment. An ethical practitioner will prioritise your concerns, and never dismiss them.
