Define Your Jawline. Sculpt Your Lower Face.
The shape of your lower face says a great deal before you say a word. A soft, undefined jawline or a fuller facial profile can make features appear heavier than they are, and many patients feel their face no longer reflects how they see themselves. Non-surgical face slimming has become one of the most requested treatments at Epione Beverly Hills, and the reasons are straightforward: the results are real, the process is gentle, and there is no recovery time standing between you and a more refined appearance. Whether you are bothered by a square jaw, fuller cheeks, a double chin, or simply a lack of definition along the lower face, Dr. Simon Ourian offers precision-based solutions that work with your anatomy to create a naturally slimmer, more sculpted profile.
How These Treatments Work
The lower face is shaped by a combination of bone structure, soft tissue, and muscle. Each of these elements responds differently to treatment, which is why Dr. Ourian takes a layered, individualized approach to jawline contouring injections. When jaw width is driven by an enlarged masseter muscle, the primary chewing muscle that runs along the sides of the face, targeted neuromodulator injections are placed directly into that muscle. Over several weeks, the muscle gradually reduces in size and the face narrows naturally at the jaw. The result is a softer, more tapered appearance without altering your bone structure or changing your bite.
For patients who carry fullness in the mid-face, a buccal fat alternative treatment using precise injectable techniques can reduce the appearance of chubby cheeks without the permanence or downside risk of surgical removal. Strategic dermal filler placement along the chin and jaw angles further enhances definition, drawing the eye along a cleaner line and creating what many patients describe as a more sculpted, V-shape face look without any surgery involved. Dr. Ourian also addresses submental fullness, the soft tissue beneath the chin, using non-invasive methods that reduce the double chin and restore a cleaner neck-to-jaw transition.
Who Is the Right Candidate
The ideal candidate for lower face sculpting is someone in good overall health who has realistic expectations and a specific concern with the shape or definition of their jaw, cheeks, or chin. Patients who clench or grind their teeth often develop a naturally wider jaw over time, and masseter jaw reduction is particularly effective for this group, offering both cosmetic and functional relief. Those who have always had a rounder or fuller facial structure and are looking for a slimmer facial profile are also excellent candidates, as are patients who are seeking subtle refinement rather than dramatic transformation.
This is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Dr. Ourian evaluates each patient individually, assessing muscle mass, fat distribution, skin quality, and overall facial proportions before recommending a course of treatment. Some patients benefit from a single approach, while others achieve their best results through a carefully sequenced combination of techniques. The consultation is where that plan takes shape, and it is taken seriously.
What to Expect During and After Your Visit
A face-slimming session at Epione is designed to fit into real life. Most appointments take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort, and the injections themselves are brief and precise. Patients describe the experience as mild and manageable, with no need for sedation or extensive preparation. There are no incisions, no compression garments, and no downtime. Most patients return to work, social plans, or travel the same day.
Some mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a day or two. For masseter treatments, patients are advised to avoid very hard or chewy foods for 24 hours following their appointment. The team at Epione Beverly Hills provides clear post-treatment guidance and remains available to answer any questions during the days that follow.

Results: What You Will See and How Long It Lasts
Results from chubby cheeks reduction using injectables and chin-sculpting techniques are often visible within days. Masseter jaw reduction follows a different timeline. The neuromodulator takes effect gradually as the muscle begins to relax, and the most visible slimming of the jaw occurs over two to four weeks, with the full result apparent at around six weeks. Patients consistently describe the outcome as looking like themselves, only more defined and rested.
Longevity depends on the specific treatment and the individual patient. Masseter results typically hold for four to six months before a maintenance session is recommended. With repeated treatments, many patients find that the muscle responds more readily over time, and sessions may be needed less frequently. Results from injectable contouring of the chin and jaw angles can last considerably longer, and the slim jawline look achieved through filler is often sustained for a year or more. Dr. Ourian will outline a realistic maintenance timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to plan for.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly happens during a jawline contouring treatment, and how does it slim the face?
Jawline contouring injections work by targeting the masseter muscles, the thick chewing muscles that sit along the sides of your lower face. When relaxed with a precise neuromodulator, these muscles gradually reduce in size, softening a wide or square jaw into a more tapered, refined shape. The result is a slimmer facial profile that looks completely natural because it is built around your own anatomy. Dr. Simon Ourian maps each treatment to your specific facial structure, so the outcome feels like the best version of you rather than an obvious procedure.
Is non-surgical face slimming a realistic alternative to procedures like buccal fat removal?
For many patients, absolutely. Buccal fat alternative treatment using injectables can sculpt the midface and create meaningful cheek definition without surgery, scarring, or recovery time. The approach is also more adjustable: if your goals shift over time, results can be maintained, modified, or allowed to gradually fade. Dr. Ourian assesses your facial anatomy during consultation and will be candid about whether an injectable approach will deliver the outcome you have in mind.
Can injectables actually reduce a double chin without surgery?
Double chin reduction non-invasive treatments have come a long way, and strategic injectable placement combined with specialized technologies can make a visible difference for the right candidate. There is no incision, no general anesthesia, and no significant downtime involved. The team at Epione Beverly Hills evaluates factors like skin laxity and fat distribution to determine which combination of techniques will produce the most satisfying result for you specifically.
Will I look gaunt or overdone after lower face sculpting?
This is one of the most common concerns patients bring to consultation, and it is a fair one. Lower face sculpting at Epione is always about proportion, not reduction for its own sake. The goal is a slim jawline look that reads as natural refinement, not an obvious treatment. Dr. Ourian takes a measured, conservative approach and considers how every change interacts with the rest of your features before a single injection is placed.
How long do results last, and how often will I need to come back?
It depends on the technique used. A V-shape face treatment without surgery that relies on neuromodulators typically holds for three to four months before a touch-up is recommended. Filler-based work for chubby cheeks reduction can last six to twelve months or longer depending on the specific product and how your body metabolizes it. During your initial consultation, the experts at Epione will give you a realistic maintenance timeline so there are no surprises down the line.
What is recovery like, and when can I get back to my normal routine?
Recovery is minimal by design. Most patients experience mild redness or slight swelling at the injection sites, both of which typically resolve within a day or two. You can return to work and daily activities right away, though the team at Epione Beverly Hills recommends skipping intense exercise and prolonged heat exposure for the first twenty-four hours to help your results settle evenly. For most people, the hardest part of recovery is deciding not to over-examine the mirror while the full effect gradually takes shape over the following weeks.
