HIFU Before & After | Jawline Lift and Skin Tightening

She wanted lower-face descent addressed without surgery. The jawline had started showing laxity earlier than for most of her contemporaries, possibly tied to weight cycling.

Jawline assessment showed bilateral mild blurring of the mandibular contour with associated lower-face soft tissue descent. The submental region was within range. The skin elasticity was reduced for her age, consistent with weight cycling history. The pattern reflected accelerated structural laxity rather than typical age-related change. The plan was jawline-focused HIFU.

HIFU was performed along the jawline, targeted at the lower-face soft tissue. Targeted jawline HIFU concentrates the energy at the structural layer that defines the lower-face contour rather than distributing it across the entire face. Recovery is essentially zero. In the after image, lift of this kind is typically observed gradually over several months as collagen remodels, the jawline contour is sharper, the lower-face descent has improved, and the mandibular border reads as more defined. Targeted HIFU at the jawline-specific zone produces stronger jawline-specific results than distributed full-face HIFU at the same total energy.
