Procedure
Your doctor assesses your face shape and marks the injection points. A numbing cream goes on first. Your doctor then places a firm hyaluronic acid gel along the jaw with a fine needle or cannula. The session takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Recovery
Expect mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises for 3 to 7 days. Most people return to normal activity the same day. Skip intense exercise, heat and alcohol for 24 hours. The final shape shows at around 2 weeks.
