Understand what changed before deciding what to treat.
01 Look four ways.
02 Find where it starts.
03 Make every treatment earn its place.
04 Give it one job.
05 Put it in the right order.
06 Then wait.
07 Protect what already belongs.
One concern, several causes
A heavier jawline can start in four places.
One visible concern can have four contributing causes:
Deep support
Collagen
Volume
Muscle pull
Deep support
We look at
Jaw width, chin projection and the underlying bony frame.
What that means
If support is driving the change, adding surface volume may make the lower face feel heavier.
From the outside these look the same. Often it’s two of them at once.
Some of the most important work here is the treatment that doesn’t happen.
