Sagging jawline
Many women who come to see us in the clinic complain of a slack jawline. When we talk to them, we realise that it’s not just the lack of elasticity and structure that bothers them – it’s that this sagging affects their self-confidence on a deeper level. For some, it makes them dislike their profile or having photographs taken; for others, the absence of definition makes them feel that their face appears weak. Understanding the root cause of sagging, however, is key to achieving a successful outcome.

The most effective non-surgical treatment for a sagging jawline is the use of volume restoring injections, typically restoring volume in the cheeks, chin and jawline for the best results. If you have a petite chin as a facial feature, this often looks attractive in youth but as bone reabsorption kicks in as part of the ageing process this predisposes you to forming jowls early and correcting the size and shape of the chin with filler injections will help to improve this considerably.

The gold standard method of correcting a sagging jawline remains the facelift procedure, and we are the first – and to date only – clinic in Scotland to offer the deep plane facelift technique. The deep plane technique is considered the most technically challenging type of facelift, although it gives the most effective and natural results which are considerably better than those obtained from more basic standard techniques. The beauty of the deep plane technique is that the jawline and neck hold their shape, even when you bend your head forward.

A McKeown Medical patient September 2023
From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.
My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.
I am currently in day 3 of the Halo treatment and everything is exactly what I was told to expect. I am now looking forward to seeing end result. Thank you to you and your team .
A McKeown Medical patient May 2024
From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

Common Questions
What are the benefits?
By underpinning the soft tissues of the lower-face and supporting the areas that are suboptimal – such as an under-developed chin – dermal fillers can effectively correct the appearance of sagging, and restore sharpness and definition to the jawline. In doing so, they can also balance the face – ensuring a harmonious, and natural-looking end result.
Which anaesthetic is used?
We use dermal fillers which contain a local anaesthetic known as lidocaine, which helps to reduce discomfort – while use of a topical numbing cream can be of benefit for patients who are anxious.
What's the downtime?
With dermal fillers, the jawline and chin may swell, and will feel tender post-procedure – though this has usually settled by the following day. Most patients are ready to resume their normal daily routine immediately after treatment. If bruising occurs, it can be easily covered with makeup – though this should not be applied until the next day. We also encourage patients to sleep with their head elevated for the first few nights following the procedure, to keep any swelling to a minimum.
When will I see results?
Following dermal fillers, the jawline regains a sense of strength and appears sharper – while the chin, though treated, is often imperceptible to anyone other than yourself. The best results, however, are to be seen in two weeks’ time, when the filler has fully integrated with the tissues.
