A sculpted jawline has long been considered a hallmark of beauty, but lately, the desire for a stronger, more defined chin and jawline is at an all-time high. According to New York facial plastic surgeon Konstantin Vasyukevich, MD, demand for jawline enhancement—both surgical and nonsurgical—has surged. “Fillers offer the best nonsurgical jawline enhancement result,” he says, “while surgical treatments such as liposuction or a facelift are the most effective ways to achieve a sharper jawline.”
Social media and Zoom calls continue to drive interest in these features. “Requests for chin filler have definitely increased,” says Palo Alto, CA facial plastic surgeon Sachin S. Parikh, MD. “Everyone is using video conferencing more these days, and social media is everywhere.”
Luckily, there are more options than ever to achieve a jawline that rivals Hollywood’s best. From energy devices and threads to strategic fillers and implants, plastic surgeons and dermatologists can help sculpt a more defined profile—no filter required.
“Most people know that lifting your chin slightly for the camera elongates the neck and smooths the jowl area,” Dr. Parikh says. “Having a stronger chin can help achieve this look naturally without needing to adjust your posture.”

Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid’s jawline has sparked viral trends and TikTok filters for good reason: it’s sharply defined, symmetrical, and enviably sleek from every angle. Her lower face helps frame her features in a way that looks both timeless and on-trend.
To mimic Bella’s refined look, experts often use a combination of jawline filler for structure including Revance’s RHA 4 (Teoxane RHA Collection) and skin-tightening devices like Morpheus8 or Thermage to enhance definition. In younger patients, a thread lift can also create that signature “snatched” effect.

Zendaya
Zendaya’s effortlessly elegant jawline is one of her most defining features, offering a clean, contoured silhouette that perfectly complements her bone structure. Her sculpted chin and defined mandible give her profile a balanced, youthful harmony that’s frequently referenced in cosmetic consultations.
To emulate her look, many patients turn to jawline fillers like Juvéderm Volux or energy-based treatments such as Ultherapy to contour and tighten the lower face. For longer-lasting results, chin implants or buccal fat pad reduction may also be considered.

Olivia Culpo
A former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo’s camera-ready jawline is the perfect mix of feminine and fierce. Her strong chin and sculpted jaw enhance the overall proportion of her face, making her a go-to reference for patients seeking subtle yet striking definition.
Non-surgical sculpting tools like filler and radiofrequency microneedling can help enhance contours in a similar way. For patients with excess volume under the chin, submental liposuction or Kybella can make a dramatic difference.

Jennifer Lopez
Lopez looks like she hasn’t aged a day in the past few decades. One of her many secrets: a youthful, chiseled chin and jawline—along with high, plump cheeks—which help keeps age-related jowls at bay.
Fillers like Juvéderm Voluma immediately restore lost volume to the cheeks which can result in a tired, aged appearance. Even better: the filler acts as a coat hanger beneath the skin, structurally supporting the corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds and jowls.

Halle Berry
A pixie cut is tough to pull off, but Berry’s defined jawline and soft yet prominent chin has made her signature look seem easy. If your prominent chin is hindering an overall balanced look, cheek augmentation or fat injections into the cheeks can often help balance out the dominance of a larger chin.

Keira Knightley
Countless memes, videos and essays have been produced about Knightley’s remarkable chin. What makes it so news-worthy: its perfectly angled, chiseled appearance that gives her jawline a close-to-perfect angle.
If a Knightley-esque profile is what you’re after, treatments and procedures designed to shrink and shape the jawline have been growing in popularity and include the use of filler, thread lifts and energy-powered tighteners. In some cases, surgery might be a solution.

Katie Holmes
If want to reduce the size of your chin and obtain tinier features like those Holmes sports, a chin reduction may be performed to remove some of the bone. However, “there is a limit of how much bone may be removed with this method, so it is best for a small amount of desired change,” says San Francisco facial plastic surgeon David W. Kim, MD.

Angelina Jolie
Thanks to her strong jawline, Jolie has a near-perfect profile. In terms of volume, the lower third of the face is, unfortunately, most prone to the age-related accumulation of fat.
The appearance of jowls, the result of sagging skin, can be alleviated by strategically adding volume with a filler such as Radiesse or your own fat (fat transfer) to help contour the jawline and create a more chiseled, youthful look.

Sienna Miller
Thanks to genetics and a strong chin and jawline, Miller has a perfectly oval face. If you have a recessed chin, opting for filler or a chin implant are great options to add length to the face. Dr. Parikh says he sees a lot of patients who are concerned with a weak chin. “We correct this either with dermal fillers, an angle of the jaw surgery or chin augmentation,” he says.

Emmy Rossum
A youthful face that doesn’t look “done” encompasses balanced features that are proportionate to one another. Case in point: Rossum’s nose and chin, both on the same plane. If you do opt for a chin implant, ensure you are on the same page as your surgeon.
“The goal of plastic surgery is to improve the face, not manipulate it in search of perfection,” says West Palm Beach, FL facial plastic surgeon Mark Murphy, MD. “Balance and proportion need to be adhered to.”

Jessica Chastain
While many women are after a more prominent chin, some may want to reduce the size of their chin. However, larger chins are often helpful in creating the perfect balance. Chastain’s wide, square jawline and long nose is actually balanced by her dominant chin, which helps to keep all of her features in proportion.
