Face Slimming & Contouring

Face slimming and lower-face contouring by Dr Vincent Tan — Allergan Medical Institute Faculty, Orchard Road belt.

What you came here wondering

Concern 01

Is my square jaw from muscle, fat, or bone?

Muscle (masseter hypertrophy) responds well to anti-wrinkle injection. Fat responds to energy-based fat reduction. Bone is structural — only surgery can change it. The diagnosis matters more than the device.

Concern 02

How long does jaw slimming injection take to work?

Initial softening at 4–6 weeks. Full result at 8–12 weeks as the muscle gradually atrophies. Maintenance injection every 4–6 months sustains the slimmer shape.

Concern 03

Can I get a sharp jawline without surgery?

Often, yes — with the right combination of jaw slimming, chin filler, and fat reduction. Bone-structural cases sometimes need surgery, but most jaw concerns are softness from muscle, fat, or volume loss — all non-surgically treatable.

Why Vincere

Why Vincere for face slimming

Lower-face contouring rewards anatomical understanding. The wrong combination, or the right treatments in wrong proportions, makes the face look harder rather than more refined.

01
AMI
Faculty trainer & mentor

Dr Vincent trains other physicians in advanced injection technique as faculty of the Allergan Medical Institute. Lower-face work draws on the same precision used for facial lifting.

02
Combo
Approach by design

We rarely treat the lower face with just one modality. The V-shape result is almost always a combination — jaw slimming, chin filler, fat reduction — in carefully chosen proportions.

03
Restrained
About over-correction

Aggressive lower-face work makes faces look hard and overdone. We treat conservatively, especially first-time, and refine over multiple visits.

FAQ

Common questions

Still unsure which treatment is right for you? Message Dr Vincent — he's happy to walk through the options with you personally.

There is no single “best” V-shape face treatment in Singapore — contouring is rarely a single treatment. The most common combination is jaw slimming injection (to soften masseter prominence), chin filler (to add definition to a recessed chin), and energy-based fat reduction for any submental fullness. Each treatment addresses a different anatomical contributor — the right combination depends on which contributors you have.
First treatment effect lasts 4–6 months. With repeat treatments at 4–6 month intervals, the masseter muscle progressively atrophies, and the duration between top-ups can lengthen over time — some patients eventually need maintenance only every 8–12 months.
No — the masseter is one of several muscles involved in chewing. Reducing its bulk produces a slimmer jawline appearance without compromising function. Patients sometimes report feeling tired or odd when chewing tough foods for the first 2–3 weeks; this resolves quickly. Anti-wrinkle injection doesn’t cause permanent loss of muscle function.
Jaw slimming injection: visible softening at 4–6 weeks, full result at 8–12 weeks. Chin filler: immediate, with final shape at 2–4 weeks. Energy-based fat reduction: progressive over 6–12 weeks following each session.
Jaw slimming wears off naturally over 4–6 months — if you don’t want to continue, the muscle returns to its original size. Chin filler with hyaluronic acid is reversible with hyaluronidase enzyme. Energy-based fat reduction is the only treatment that’s effectively permanent in its effect, so we treat conservatively and gradually for it.
Treatment goals differ. Men typically want stronger angles and more defined jawlines rather than softer V-shapes. Chin filler placement is different (more horizontal projection). Jaw slimming is used more selectively. The same tools, applied differently for masculine aesthetic goals.
