Jawline & Chin: The Trend Towards Facial Structuring
The demand for chin contouring and jawline definition has increased exponentially in recent years – for women and men alike. Social media, video conferences, and a growing awareness of facial harmony have brought the chin into focus as a central aesthetic feature. Juvéderm Volux 2x1ml from Allergan/AbbVie is the first and only hyaluronic acid product specifically developed for this indication.
What is Juvéderm Volux?
Juvéderm Volux is a highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler from the VYCROSS® technology family, specifically developed for contouring the chin and jawline. With the highest G-Prime value of all Juvéderm products, it offers maximum projection and structural support.

Indications: When is Volux the right choice?
Chin Augmentation & Projection
Patients with a receding chin (retrogenia) benefit enormously from a targeted Volux injection. By projecting the chin forward and downward, the facial profile is harmonized – without surgical intervention.
Jawline Definition
A sharply defined jawline is considered a beauty ideal. Volux can be injected along the jaw angle and mandible to create a clear, structured jawline.
Facial Harmonization
The chin is directly related to the nose and cheeks. Chin augmentation with Volux can optically complement or replace rhinoplasty and harmonize the entire face.
Anatomy & Injection Technique
Relevant Anatomy
When treating the chin and jawline, the following structures should be considered:
- A. mentalis: Mental artery – high-risk point, aspiration obligatory
- N. mentalis: Mental nerve – numbness if injured
- Depressor labii inferioris: Muscle that lowers the lower lip
- Mandible: Bone as an injection reference for deep layers
Injection Technique
- Depth: Supraperiosteal (directly on the bone) for maximum projection
- Technique: Bolus injection with subsequent molding
- Volume: 0.5–2 ml per session depending on the initial situation
- Needle: 27G cannula or blunt cannula for jawline
- Aspiration: Obligatory before each injection
Clinical Study Data
Juvéderm Volux is the only HA product with clinical studies specifically for chin augmentation:
- Significant improvement in chin projection after 1 month
- Duration of effect up to 24 months in controlled studies
- High patient satisfaction (>90%)
- Safety profile comparable to other Juvéderm products
