How long does jaw filler last?
Jawline filler typically lasts between 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle. Premium hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers create a sharper, more defined jawline while gradually breaking down over time. Regular maintenance sessions help sustain results and keep your profile balanced and sculpted.

What is jaw filler?
Jaw filler is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to contour, define, and enhance the lower face. Using HA-based dermal fillers, practitioners can create a more structured jawline, improve facial symmetry, and soften jowls or sagging skin. The results are immediate, with minimal downtime and natural movement preserved.
What determines how long jaw filler lasts?
Several factors influence the longevity of jaw filler, including product quality, injection technique, and individual physiology.
Type of filler used
High-density HA fillers such as Juvederm® Volux or Restylane® Lyft are formulated for structural support and tend to last longer—up to 18 months or more.
Metabolism and lifestyle
Individuals with faster metabolisms, active lifestyles, or those who frequently use saunas or exercise intensely may notice their filler dissolving more quickly.
Injection technique
A skilled injector ensures optimal placement along the mandibular line, reducing uneven absorption and extending the filler’s visible duration.
Aftercare routine
Following aftercare guidelines—avoiding pressure, massage, or extreme heat—helps the filler settle properly and remain stable longer.
What to expect during and after treatment?
The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes. After numbing, the filler is precisely injected along the jawline using fine cannulas or needles. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Full results become visible once the filler integrates with surrounding tissue, usually within one week.
Jaw filler aftercare and maintenance
To maintain results and extend filler longevity:
- Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure for 48 hours.
- Stay hydrated and follow a balanced diet to support skin health.
- Schedule touch-up appointments every 12–18 months as recommended by your practitioner.
- Protect your skin from sun damage to preserve collagen and overall definition.
How to make jaw filler last longer?
Consistent skincare, hydration, and lifestyle habits play a major role. Avoid smoking, manage stress, and maintain a stable weight. Using medical-grade skincare and regular facial massages (after full healing) can enhance circulation and prolong your results.
Does jaw filler dissolve completely?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers are naturally broken down by the body over time and can also be safely dissolved by a professional if needed using hyaluronidase. This reversibility makes jaw filler one of the safest contouring treatments available.
Final thoughts
Jaw filler offers a powerful yet subtle enhancement that lasts well over a year for most people. With high-quality products, expert injection technique, and mindful aftercare, you can enjoy a defined, youthful jawline for 12–18 months or longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does jaw filler last longer than cheek filler?
Generally, yes. Because the jawline area moves less than the mid-face, jaw fillers tend to last slightly longer — often up to 18 months.
Can I make my jaw filler last longer?
Yes. Avoid excessive sun exposure, smoking, and vigorous exercise in the first few days. Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy lifestyle also helps your filler last longer.
Will my jawline look worse after the filler dissolves?
No. When the filler gradually breaks down, your skin returns to its natural state. You won’t lose volume permanently or experience sagging because of the treatment.
How soon can I top up my jaw filler?
It’s best to wait at least 6 months before a top-up, or follow your practitioner’s recommendation based on how your results evolve.
Can jaw filler migrate or move?
When injected by a trained professional using the right technique, filler migration is extremely rare. Choosing an experienced clinic ensures a precise, stable result.
