Treatment info

What the treatment can do

Bothered by sagging jawline jowls? Face looking older and heavier? You can now treat your jowls without surgery using jowl fat injections.

We use fat dissolving injections to remove fat from your jowls. Your body metabolises the treated fat cells, which do not return. Reducing jowl fat restores jawline contour, and gives your lower face a lifted, more youthful appearance. Combining chin and jawline fillers with jowl fat injections can be done to optimise your result.

Let the team at Cosmetic Connection guide on your options to treat your jowls. They will assess and advise on your suitability for jowl fat injections. You can trust that we will perform your jowl fat injections safely, and with precision.

Preparation

To ensure your jowl fat injections go to plan, follow our preparation guidelines:

  • Remove all makeup where applicable immediately before your appointment
  • Shave/closely trim the treatment area where applicable the day before your appointment
  • Avoid consuming excessive alcohol within 24 hours of your appointment
  • Refrain from intense exercise immediately before your appointment
  • Plan your schedule anticipating that you may have mild to moderate swelling

Aftercare

After jowl fat injections, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and results:

  • Avoid makeup where applicable, excessive alcohol and intense exercise until the following day
  • Gently apply a wrapped ice pack to the treated area to minimise swelling and bruising
  • Some discomfort and moderate swelling in the treated area is to be expected
  • The treated area may feel firm and numb for a few weeks after your procedure
