Chiseled jawline/Brad Pitt jaw line
In today’s day and age, facial aesthetics is of great importance- especially to the younger generation of males. The Brad Pitt jaw line or chiseled jaw line is a very popular demand among the Young Males. Fitness freaks who obsess over achieving a macho, muscular body, realize that chubby cheeks or an ill-defined jaw line do not go with their personality.
The desire for a chiseled jaw line is greater among individuals working in the fields of modeling, acting, aviation industry, and people whose interaction with the public is greater on a daily basis.
How does one achieve a chiseled jawline?
Achieving a chiseled jawline is a job that requires not more than 20 minutes. A hyaluronic acid based filler is injected at the angle of the mandible, the inferior border of the mandible, and to enhance the chin bone. To achieve the prominence at the angle area, the filler is injected along the ascending ramus of mandible as well, which gives a prominent and flawless jawline, which is also called a chiseled jaw line or a Brad Pitt jaw line.
Is it a surgery?
No! A hyaluronic acid based filler is just an injection which is a peptide of hyaluronic acid, something we also produce naturally in our bodies. When we inject it, it makes a Bond with the secretion which is available in the body. It imbibes the secretion from the adjacent tissue and it swells up a little so one can achieve the desired result. In a nutshell, it is a volumizer. It improves or enhances the volume of the tissue at the site of injection. So these are the just injections and not a surgery.
What is the downtime?
Fortunately, with Dermal fillers, there is no down time. One may have some mild bruising or itching or rarely a swelling, which usually returns to normal within a week or so. The choice of Doctor is of utmost importance. A more experienced and dexterous surgeon is a better choice.
Is it permanent?
No Dermal Filler is permanent. There are no USA FDA approved permanent dermal fillers available in the market. The safest one used is a hyaluronic acid based filler.
Reversal of Dermal fillers however, is possible within 72 hours, if one isn’t happy with the results. It is said that a permanent filler is a permanent problem, so one should not go for a permanent filler which is one of the most common advises given by all well renowned facial cosmetic surgeons, including Dr Vaibhav Shah.
How long does the effect of dermal fillers last?
The duration for which dermal fillers lasts, depends on various factors. Some of these are, site of injection, the volume injected, and the experience of the doctor. Still, the fillers last from between 9 months to 18 months. Many surgeons including Dr Vaibhav Shah, use the pyramid technique for injecting, in which they inject a dermal filler with a higher molecular weight in a deeper layer of the skin, above which the lower molecular weight dermal filler is injected. These develop a cross link between each other and duration of the dermal filler increases significantly.
