What Is a Jaw Lift?
A jaw lift uses anti‑wrinkle treatment along the edge of the jawline — just above and just below it — to soften the downward pull of the platysma bands. These bands run from the jaw into the neck and can tug the lower face downward over time.
How Treatment Helps
By relaxing the platysma’s “fingertip hold” on the jawline, the muscles in the upper face can lift more freely, without being pulled down. This creates a gentle, natural‑looking lift and a more defined jawline — without adding volume or changing your natural features.
This treatment works in two ways: it reduces the downward pull from the platysma, and it allows the upper‑face muscles to lift without resistance, creating a subtle upward effect.
Common Concerns
People often tell me they feel their jawline looks softer or less defined than it used to. Others notice early heaviness around the lower face. A jaw lift can help the area look more open, lifted and balanced.
A Doctor‑Led, Safe Approach
I take a gentle, gradual approach — never over‑treating. As both a GP and aesthetics doctor, I assess your natural movement, facial proportions and goals to ensure treatment is appropriate and safe. If a jaw lift isn’t the right option, I’ll explain this openly and guide you towards alternatives.
What to Expect During Treatment
A series of small injections are placed along the jawline. Most people describe the sensation as quick and very manageable. You can return to normal activities straight away.
What to Expect After Treatment
This treatment takes a little longer to show results — usually 2–4 weeks — because part of the lift comes from the upper‑face muscles working without resistance. Full settling is usually seen by four weeks.
