A well-defined jawline contributes to facial proportion and contour, creating a visual transition between the neck, chin, and mid-face.
Over time, natural ageing processes — including bone remodelling, reduced collagen, and shifting fat pads — can alter jawline structure, leading to less distinct contours or the development of jowls.
During consultation, Dr Allison assesses the shape and size of the jawline in relation to the upper and mid-face, ensuring that any treatment plan maintains harmony across the facial thirds.
He focuses on achieving natural proportions that complement each patient’s unique features rather than changing them.
Areas Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Size and Proportion
Some individuals naturally have a smaller or less defined jawline.
Dr Allison evaluates how the jawline balances with the cheeks and chin to determine if enhancement of structural definition may be suitable for improved lower-face proportion
Age-Related Changes
With age, the jawbone may lose density and the surrounding tissue can become less firm, contributing to sagging or the appearance of jowls.
Some non-surgical options may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices. These are discussed privately during consultation in accordance with TGA regulations.
Shape and Gender Considerations
The shape of the jawline contributes to facial character. In men, a more angular, structured jawline may enhance masculine definition, while in women, a softly contoured lower face supports balanced femininity.
Each treatment plan is guided by anatomical assessment and individual aesthetic goals.
Post-Surgical Refinement
Patients who have previously undergone facelift procedures may occasionally experience contour irregularities near the jaw or ear.
In collaboration with other medical specialists, Dr Allison can plan non-surgical treatments to refine and harmonise these results for a natural appearance.
