How do famous people get such firm jawlines?

[ProjectGainsborough]

Watching strictly and marvelling that Tess Daly is apparently 49 and yet has a completely firm jawline. I mean, you could cut cheese with it.

Ditto Gwyneth Paltrow. I mean, I know they’re both gorgeous anyway, but they’ve got 10 years on me and I have way more in the way of jowls. How? Is this a thing I can pay for or do I just have to go through life looking like I’ve swallowed a dinner plate?

Lots of plastic surgery

I am obsessed with this due to my own weak jawline. I’ve concluded that ‘beautiful people’ on tv and in film actually have massive jaws and chins. Check out Reece Witherspoon for example. Her chin goes on for ever. But it works really well on screen because it’s defined from all angles.

You can have a big nose or some other ‘wrong feature’ in film but you can’t have a weak chin. That is my scientific conclusion from hours of exhaustive study !

I think you can get filler in the jaw which makes it look tight

Don't they have some kind of thread thing where it gets pulled back with thread? not sure of the technical term. Quite surprised she's 49

I love the amount of thought that’s gone into that, @righteeckoner!

Damn genetics though. I want something you can buy.

I read that Gwyneth is a fan of ultherapy. But then I also read it melts peoples faces. So that put me off a bit.

Fillets in their jawlines and lipo most likely

Fillers not fillets

I think radio frequency facials tighten jawlines.

Agree neither are jowly for their age. I’m not sure filler would firm the jaw. Tess has had lots Botox for sure but I was marvelling how her eyes aren’t crepey (Botox can only do crows feet not under eyes). She does look good for 49. She’s had good work done I think.

Thread lifts

Good question. I marvel at it too. Amanda Holden is another with a great jawline. Sadly, I don't know the difinitive answer on this one. I think a bit of filler in the chin and point of jaw is part of it though.

I don’t know, wouldn’t filler look weird in the jaw? Some people Botox their jaw.

I actually think jowls are more ageing than wrinkles so would love to know.

Tv people are always quite angular to begin with. It’s what looks good on camera.

Apparently you can do facial exercises that help define your jawline/cheekbones etc.

I have no idea if they work, but I remember Nick Grimshaw (of all people!) talking about doing them.

Radio frequency lifts and tightens that area, ultherapy is a very strong version which has best results

Why would you Botox your jaw? There are no dynamic lines on your jaw! Filler in the chin and point of jaw doesn't look weird if done right - it just picks up the slack of a baggy jowl!

For one they’re really thin so their faces haven’t gotten rounder and shrunk like most people who gains and lose weight. So no stretching of the skin to begin with.

Two healthy diet and lots of water to keep hydrated and help skin stay healthy.

Three access to the best facial care money can buy.

Four probably genetics, Blythe Danner looks fab for her age.

I just read that Botox in the jaw is a new thing. A famous plastic surgeon was talking about it but can’t remember why it would work!!

I read face exercises are good. I also fancy radio frequency. Kept reading horror stories about Ultherapy so it put me off.

They might be less likely to sit on their phones and tablets looking downwards. They lift their chins skywards to the paparazzi! Apparently people nowadays are more likely to have double chins, even if slim everywhere else, due to our phone use.

Injectables.

I’ve seen it on Instagram. I don’t know why Instagram thinks I’m interested in fillers, because I’m really not, but it shows me those kind of account a lot!

Jaw and chin filler 

I don't think I ever had a sharp jawline like that even in my late teens.

I also have a wobbly... I don't know what it's called. Not a double chin, but the bit underneath that joins your chin to your neck. I've always had it even when very skinny. I suspect the only way to get rid is to have it surgically removed.

It's all to do with being slim - look at Tess' upper arms. I was joking with my partner that her and Claudia and Darcey are doing some sort of competitive diet. But no, if you really exercise and tone up that tightens the jaw a lot.

Fillers. It’s also where the ubiquitous chipmunk cheeks come from.

It's a thread lift in younger people and a face lift in older ones. A little bit of filler can pin the jaw back but it would require a thread lift once the face starts to drop

evilharpy turkey neck. Not an insult - I have it too even when I was skinny. I hate it!
