Over time, skin becomes thinner and looser, and facial contours less clear. The oval of the face appears less toned, and jowls appear. Why does this happen? From the age of 25, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to a loss of skin firmness and suppleness, with the appearance of wrinkles around age 30. From the age of 40 onwards, an overall sagging of the face is observed, with less contoured features.
When facial oval sagging is moderate, cosmetic treatments are recommended. If the sagging is severe, it may be preferable to turn to cosmetic surgery.
At Maison Lutétia, our non-invasive treatments can reshape the jawline by defining the contour of the neck and facial oval, thus enhancing the jawline. Depending on your indication, one of our doctors will refer you to a suitable treatment, to achieve an immediate tightening effect and redefined contours.
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid, i.e. volumizing and dense, is used to redefine facial contours. In particular, it can be used for jawline contouring, i.e. to redefine the jawline by creating a boundary between the oval and the neck. This technique is suitable for all those wishing to achieve a sharper jawline, men and women alike. There are no undesirable side effects associated with hyaluronic acid, as it gives the skin bounce, and restores volumes. Medical genioplasty, i.e. chin augmentation, can also be performed.
Jawline contouring is performed in one session.

These are absorbable threads placed in the subcutaneous fat to restore tissue tension. They are a medical alternative to facelifts, offering a natural contour to the face, helping to assert a slightly rounded jawline or treat sagging jowls. The angle between the neck and chin becomes sharper. As the threads resorb, they are colonized by collagen, giving the skin greater firmness.
