Pre-Jowl Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul

Early jowls often look worse because of a small dip just in front of them. Filling that dip makes the jawline look straight and continuous again, a quick change with a big effect.

Quick answer

Pre-jowl filler places hyaluronic acid in the groove along the jaw between the chin and an early jowl, usually 0.5–1 ml per side. Filling the dip straightens the jawline so jowls look less obvious. It works best for mild to moderate jowling and is often combined with lifting. Results usually last about 12 months.

What is the pre-jowl sulcus?

With age, the bone and soft tissue just in front of the jowl thin, creating a small groove. Next to it, the jowl looks heavier than it really is. Filling the groove restores a straight line, which is why it is one of the most effective jawline treatments for early ageing.

Who is it for?

  • Early jowls with a visible dip in front of them.
  • A jawline that has started to look broken or scalloped.
  • Heavier jowls also need lifting such as Ultherapy.
