A well-defined jawline and smooth, taut neck are hallmarks of a youthful appearance. As we age, these areas are often among the first to show signs of time, with loss of definition, sagging skin, and the development of stubborn fat deposits. While surgical procedures like facelifts and neck lifts have long been the gold standard for dramatic transformation, advances in aesthetic medicine now offer compelling non-surgical alternatives that deliver impressive results without the downtime or commitment of surgery.
At Rodeo Surgical Art, Dr. Mashhadian understands that not every patient is ready for surgery, and many prefer to explore non invasive jawline contouring Beverly Hills options first. Through careful assessment and expert technique, Dr. Mashhadian offers treatments that can address loose skin, excess fat, and loss of definition in the lower face and neck, helping patients achieve a more sculpted, youthful profile without going under the knife.
Understanding Why the Jawline and Neck Age
Before exploring treatment options, it’s helpful to understand the aging process in these critical areas. Several factors contribute to loss of definition in the jawline and neck:
Volume Loss: As we age, we lose facial fat and bone density, which can cause the skin to sag and the jawline to lose its crisp definition.
Skin Laxity: Collagen and elastin production decreases with age, leading to looser, less resilient skin that can’t maintain its youthful tautness.
Fat Accumulation: Some people develop stubborn fat deposits under the chin (submental fullness) that blur the jawline and create the appearance of a double chin.
Muscle Changes: The platysma muscle in the neck can become lax and create visible bands, contributing to an aged appearance.
Gravity: Years of gravity’s downward pull cause tissues to descend, creating jowls and a less defined jaw-to-neck transition.
Effective non surgical neck tightening and jawline sculpting treatments must address one or more of these underlying causes to achieve visible, lasting results.
Kybella: Dissolving Submental Fat for Better Definition
For patients whose primary concern is excess fat under the chin rather than skin laxity, Kybella offers a targeted solution. This FDA-approved injectable treatment contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps the body break down and absorb dietary fat.
When injected into the submental area, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body. Once these fat cells are gone, they cannot return, making the results permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Kybella treatment at Rodeo Surgical Art typically involves a series of two to six sessions spaced about one month apart. The number of treatments needed depends on the amount of submental fat present and your desired outcome. Many patients see noticeable improvement after two or three sessions.
While Kybella is highly effective for reducing the double chin appearance and improving jawline definition, it does not address skin laxity. Patients with loose skin may benefit from combining Kybella with other treatments for comprehensive neck tightening without surgery.
The treatment itself takes about 15 to 20 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Dr. Mashhadian uses a precise injection technique to ensure even distribution of the product and optimal results. Most patients describe the sensation as brief stinging or burning during the injections.
One of the most appealing aspects of Kybella is the permanence of results. Unlike treatments that require ongoing maintenance, once the fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good. This makes Kybella an excellent investment for patients looking to eliminate their double chin and reveal a more defined jawline.
Injectable Fillers: Restoring Lost Volume and Definition
Strategic placement of dermal fillers has become one of the most popular jawline definition treatments at Rodeo Surgical Art, offering immediate results with minimal downtime. While fillers are often associated with adding volume to lips and cheeks, they also play a crucial role in creating a sculpted, youthful jawline.
Dr. Mashhadian uses advanced injection techniques to contour the jawline, addressing areas where volume loss has contributed to sagging or a less defined appearance. By reinforcing the underlying structure with carefully placed filler, the jawline appears sharper and more youthful.
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm Volux, Juvederm Voluma, and Restylane Lyft are commonly used for jawline contouring because they provide structure and lift while maintaining a natural appearance. These products are specifically formulated to create definition in areas that require more structural support.
The jawline sculpting process at Rodeo Surgical Art typically involves placing filler along the mandible to create a more defined edge, reinforcing the chin for better projection and balance, smoothing the transition from jaw to neck, and addressing early jowling by providing structural support.
Results are immediate and typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the product used and individual metabolism. Many patients are amazed at how much younger and more refreshed they look with just the addition of strategic volume along the jawline.
Filler-based jawline sculpting can be combined with other treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, addressing both volume loss and other concerns simultaneously. The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days.
Dr. Mashhadian’s artistic eye and deep understanding of facial proportions ensure that filler placement enhances your natural features rather than creating an overdone or artificial appearance. The goal is always to create a jawline that looks naturally defined and age-appropriate.
Botox for Neck Bands and Jawline Refinement
While Botox is best known for smoothing forehead lines and crow’s feet, it also plays an important role in neck tightening without surgery and jawline refinement at Rodeo Surgical Art. The strategic use of neuromodulators can address specific concerns that contribute to an aged appearance in the lower face and neck.
Nefertiti Neck Lift: This technique involves injecting Botox along the jawline and upper neck to relax the platysma muscle, which pulls down on the lower face. By weakening this downward pull, the jawline appears more defined and lifted. The treatment is named after the Egyptian queen known for her elegant, elongated neck and sharp jawline.
The Nefertiti lift can create subtle but noticeable improvement in jawline definition, reduce the appearance of early jowling, and smooth the jaw-to-neck transition. Results typically last three to four months and can be maintained with regular treatments.
Platysmal Bands: As we age, the platysma muscle in the neck can create visible vertical bands that contribute to an aged appearance. Botox injections directly into these bands can relax the muscle, softening their appearance and creating a smoother neck contour.
Masseter Reduction: For patients with a square or wide jawline due to enlarged masseter muscles (often from teeth grinding or clenching), Botox can slim the lower face by relaxing these muscles. Over time, the muscles atrophy slightly, creating a more tapered, refined jawline.
Dr. Mashhadian’s expertise in facial anatomy ensures precise Botox placement for natural-looking results without compromising facial expression or function. The treatment is quick, typically taking just 10 to 15 minutes, with no downtime required.
Many patients at Rodeo Surgical Art combine Botox treatments with dermal fillers for comprehensive jawline and neck rejuvenation. While fillers restore lost volume and create definition, Botox addresses muscle-related concerns that contribute to aging in these areas.
Radiesse: Immediate Contouring with Long-Term Collagen Stimulation
Radiesse offers a unique advantage in jawline definition treatments at Rodeo Surgical Art because it provides both immediate volumizing effects and long-term collagen stimulation. This calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler creates instant definition while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time.
The microspheres in Radiesse act as a scaffold that encourages collagen growth, meaning results actually improve over the months following treatment. This biostimulatory effect makes Radiesse particularly valuable for patients seeking lasting improvement in skin quality along with structural enhancement.
Radiesse is FDA-approved for jawline contouring and can effectively address loss of definition, early jowling, and poor jaw-to-neck angles. The product integrates well with tissue and creates natural-looking definition that enhances rather than changes your fundamental appearance.
Results from Radiesse typically last 12 to 18 months or longer, thanks to the collagen stimulation that continues even after the product itself has been metabolized. Many patients find that their results last longer than with traditional hyaluronic acid fillers alone.
The treatment is performed with local anesthesia or numbing cream for comfort, and most patients can return to normal activities immediately with minimal swelling or bruising. Dr. Mashhadian’s technique ensures smooth, even distribution of the product for natural-looking contours.
For patients seeking non invasive jawline contouring Beverly Hills treatments that provide both immediate gratification and progressive improvement, Radiesse represents an excellent option that bridges the gap between temporary fillers and more permanent solutions.
Sculptra: Building Collagen for Gradual, Natural Improvement
Sculptra takes a different approach to facial rejuvenation by working gradually to restore lost volume and improve skin quality through collagen stimulation. This poly-L-lactic acid injectable stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time, creating subtle, progressive improvement that can last two years or more.
At Rodeo Surgical Art, Dr. Mashhadian uses Sculptra to address volume loss and skin quality concerns in the lower face and jawline area. The gradual nature of results makes Sculptra ideal for patients who want natural-looking improvement that develops over time rather than dramatic immediate change.
Treatment typically involves a series of two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart. Results begin to appear after a few weeks and continue to improve for several months as new collagen develops. The longevity of Sculptra makes it a cost-effective option for patients committed to long-term facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra is particularly effective when combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive approach to jawline sculpting Dr. Mashhadian provides. While other injectables create immediate definition, Sculptra works beneath the surface to improve overall tissue quality and support long-term results.
The treatment itself is comfortable, with most patients experiencing only mild tenderness or swelling that resolves within a few days. Dr. Mashhadian provides detailed aftercare instructions, including massage techniques to ensure optimal distribution of the product.
For patients who aren’t ready for surgery but want results that last significantly longer than traditional fillers, Sculptra offers an attractive middle ground that delivers natural, progressive improvement.
Combining Treatments for Optimal Results
One of the most important concepts in non-invasive facial rejuvenation at Rodeo Surgical Art is that combination treatments often produce superior results compared to any single modality alone. Because aging affects multiple tissue layers and involves various processes (fat accumulation, volume loss, skin laxity, muscle changes), addressing all relevant factors creates the most comprehensive improvement.
Dr. Mashhadian frequently creates customized treatment plans that combine complementary procedures. For example:
A patient with submental fat and mild skin laxity might benefit from Kybella to reduce fat, followed by strategic filler placement along the jawline to enhance definition and create a smoother transition from jaw to neck.
Someone with moderate jowling and loss of jawline definition could achieve excellent results with dermal fillers to restore structural support, combined with a Nefertiti neck lift using Botox to relax the downward pull of the platysma muscle.
Patients with good facial contours but visible neck bands might see dramatic improvement from Botox injections into the platysmal bands, paired with Radiesse for jawline definition and collagen stimulation.
Those seeking long-term improvement could begin with Sculptra treatments to build foundational collagen support, then add strategic filler placement for immediate definition and refinement.
This customized approach allows Dr. Mashhadian to address each patient’s unique anatomy and aging pattern, creating natural-looking results that enhance rather than change your fundamental appearance. The synergy between different treatments often produces outcomes that exceed what any single procedure could achieve alone.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Non-Invasive Treatments?
Non invasive jawline contouring Beverly Hills procedures at Rodeo Surgical Art work best for patients with mild to moderate concerns who want improvement without the commitment of surgery. Ideal candidates typically:
Have good overall skin quality with mild to moderate laxity rather than severe sagging
Maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations about non-surgical outcomes
Are willing to undergo multiple treatment sessions if needed for optimal results
Prefer gradual improvement or immediate but subtle enhancement over dramatic transformation
Want to avoid surgical downtime and recovery
Are in good general health without contraindications to the planned treatments
During your consultation, Dr. Mashhadian will assess your specific concerns, examine your skin quality and tissue laxity, discuss your goals and expectations, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your situation.
It’s important to understand that while today’s non-surgical options are remarkably effective, they cannot replicate the dramatic, long-lasting results of surgical procedures for patients with advanced aging changes. Dr. Mashhadian will provide honest guidance about whether non-surgical treatments can achieve your goals or if surgery might be a better option.
What to Expect During Treatment and Recovery
One of the major advantages of non surgical facelift alternatives at Rodeo Surgical Art is the minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. However, recovery experiences vary depending on the specific treatment:
Kybella: Swelling is common and can be significant for several days to a week. Some patients also experience numbness, bruising, or discomfort. Plan for some social downtime, especially after the first treatment session. The swelling is typically most pronounced in the first few days and gradually subsides over one to two weeks.
Injectable Fillers: Minimal downtime with possible mild swelling or bruising at injection sites. Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Some tenderness is normal for a day or two after treatment. Results are visible immediately, though minor swelling may affect the final appearance for a few days.
Botox: Virtually no downtime. You may have slight redness or small bumps at injection sites that resolve within hours. Results begin to appear within a few days and reach full effect in about two weeks. Most patients schedule these treatments during their lunch break and return to work immediately.
Radiesse: Similar to hyaluronic acid fillers, with minimal downtime. Some patients experience slightly more swelling than with other fillers, but this typically resolves within three to five days. Results are immediate and continue to improve as collagen production increases.
Sculptra: Mild swelling and possible bruising for a few days. Results develop gradually over several weeks to months, so patience is required. Dr. Mashhadian provides detailed massage instructions to ensure optimal distribution of the product.
Dr. Mashhadian provides detailed pre and post-treatment instructions to help ensure optimal healing and results for every procedure performed at Rodeo Surgical Art.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of non-invasive treatments varies considerably depending on the specific procedure, individual factors like age and skin quality, and lifestyle factors including sun exposure and skincare habits.
Generally, you can expect the following timeframes for treatments at Rodeo Surgical Art:
Kybella: Fat reduction is permanent. Once treated fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. However, significant weight gain can lead to fat accumulation in the area, potentially affecting your results.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Most fillers last 12 to 18 months in the jawline area. Products like Juvederm Volux and Restylane Lyft are specifically designed for areas requiring more structure and may last toward the longer end of this range.
Botox: Results typically last three to four months for neck and jawline treatments. With regular treatments, some patients find that results last slightly longer over time as muscles adapt to the treatment.
Radiesse: Results typically last 12 to 18 months or longer, thanks to the collagen stimulation that continues even after the calcium hydroxylapatite is metabolized. Many patients find Radiesse lasts longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
Sculptra: Results can last two years or more. Because Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production, the improvement is more gradual but also more enduring than temporary fillers.
Maintaining results often requires periodic touch-up treatments. Many patients at Rodeo Surgical Art develop ongoing treatment plans that keep them looking their best with minimal maintenance. Dr. Mashhadian can help you create a schedule that maintains your results efficiently and cost-effectively.
The Importance of Choosing an Experienced Provider
The skill and experience of your provider significantly impact the safety and quality of your results, particularly with treatments like injectable fillers and Botox that require precise technique and artistic judgment.
When seeking jawline sculpting Dr. Mashhadian provides at Rodeo Surgical Art, you benefit from:
Extensive training and experience specifically in facial aesthetics and surgical anatomy
Deep understanding of facial proportions and how to create natural-looking enhancement
Customized treatment plans based on individual anatomy, aging patterns, and aesthetic goals
Advanced injection techniques that minimize discomfort and optimize results
Honest recommendations, including when non-surgical options may not be sufficient to achieve desired outcomes
Dr. Mashhadian’s dual expertise in both surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation provides patients with the advantage of comprehensive assessment. This means you receive honest guidance about which approach will best achieve your aesthetic goals, whether that’s non-invasive treatments, surgery, or a combination of both.
Maintaining Your Results: The Role of Skincare and Lifestyle
While non-invasive treatments at Rodeo Surgical Art can produce impressive improvements in jawline definition and neck appearance, maintaining results requires attention to skincare and lifestyle factors:
Sun Protection: Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential for preserving collagen and preventing further skin damage that can undermine your treatment results.
Quality Skincare: Medical-grade products containing retinoids, antioxidants, and peptides support skin health and collagen production, extending the benefits of your treatments.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a stable weight, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, and managing stress all contribute to lasting results. Weight fluctuations can particularly impact results from Kybella and filler treatments.
Regular Treatments: Many patients find that periodic maintenance treatments help them maintain their improvements over time. Dr. Mashhadian can recommend an optimal treatment schedule based on your specific procedures and how your body responds.
Dr. Mashhadian can recommend professional-grade skincare products and create a maintenance plan tailored to your needs and treatment history.
When Surgery May Be the Better Option
While non invasive jawline contouring Beverly Hills treatments can achieve remarkable results, Dr. Mashhadian believes in providing honest guidance about when surgery may be more appropriate. Surgical options like a facelift, neck lift, or liposuction may be better suited if you have:
Significant skin laxity with substantial sagging in the neck and jowl areas
Large amounts of submental fat that would require numerous Kybella sessions
Advanced aging changes that cannot be adequately addressed with non-surgical treatments
Realistic expectations for dramatic, long-lasting transformation
The time and commitment for surgical recovery
During your consultation at Rodeo Surgical Art, Dr. Mashhadian will discuss both non-surgical and surgical options, helping you understand what each approach can realistically achieve for your specific situation. Some patients choose to begin with non-surgical treatments and transition to surgery later, while others opt for surgery from the start to achieve more comprehensive results.
