Quick Answer
Jawline lifting via retroauricular injection is a minimally invasive procedure that uses injectable neuromodulators or fillers placed near the retroauricular (behind-the-ear) region to improve jawline definition and reduce sagging along the lower face. Suitable for adults experiencing mild to moderate jaw laxity, it works by relaxing or volumising targeted muscles and tissues to lift and contour the jaw. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham and Toronto, this treatment is personally performed by Dr. Dan Xu, M.D., CCFP. Most patients require one to two sessions, with visible results typically appearing within two to four weeks.
