The Role of Custom Jawline Implants in V Line Surgery Reversal

V line surgery is a very popular methof of reductive facial reshaping achievwed through mandibular bone removal. But like all forms of facial reshaping (augmentation or reduction) patients may later regret their decision and wish to partially or fully reverse it. Custom jawline implants are the only effective method to reliably and permanently reverse the Read More…

Features of a Custom Jawline Implant For Facial Masculinization

The biggest difference between an average male jaw and the kind of jawline seen on fashion models or actors is usually a combination of bone structure, body fat, muscle, and lighting, not one single feature. Here’s what people typically associate with an “ideal” male jawline: 1. Strong mandibular angle The angle where the jaw meets Read More…

The Aesthetic Benefits of a Custom Jawline Implant + Deep Plane Facelift Combination

Stronger Structure. Lifted Tissues. Natural, Long-Lasting Results. Overview A custom jawline implant and deep plane facelift address two different causes of facial aging and contour deficiency: Custom Jawline Implant enhances the underlying skeletal framework. Deep Plane Facelift repositions descended facial soft tissues. Together, they create a stronger jawline, improved neck contour, and more comprehensive facial Read More…

Combining Deep Plane Facelifts with Custom Cheek Implants

One of the primary benefits of a deep place facelift is ts effects on the cheeks to correct sagging or tissue descent. But some patients have naturally flkatter cheeks that hav always lack projection…which is a major reason why some patients develop more cheek soft tissuer sagging than others. Overview Custom cheek implants and a Read More…

Combining Custom Facial Implants with a Deep Plane Facelift

Facial implants have a long history of being done in conjunction with facelift surgery. This almost always has been with the use of standard chin and cheek implants to help build out a flat or recessed cheek and chin bone structure which both aids the aesthetic result and provides some support to the lifted soft Read More…

Custom Jawline Implant Design Concepts for Facial Masculinization

For facial masculinization, a custom jawline implant designed in the “Eppley style” typically focuses on creating a stronger, wider, and more angular lower face while maintaining proportional harmony with the chin and cheekbones. Key design principles include: 1. Wraparound Jawline Design Rather than separate angle implants and a chin implant, the design is usually a Read More…

The Biology of Bony Overgrowths Around Facial Implants

Bony overgrowths occur around facial implants, particularly chin and jaw angle implants, is commonly observed on 3D CT scans and during implant replacement surgery. It is less discussed than bone imprinting changes underneath the implant even though it is part of the overall bone remodeling process that occurs  as an adaotive response to implant placement. Read More…

The Biology of Bone Remodeling Around Facial Implants

There is an established association of bone changes with facial implants but it is poorly understand despite that the biology of bone remodeling in response to mechanical stress is well known. Facial implants can cause underlying bone resorption (bone remodeling/imprinting), although the degree varies considerably by implant type, location, design, fixation method, and duration of Read More…

Custom Zygomatic Arch Implant Designs

When designing a custom zygomatic arch implant, the primary goal is usually not projection but controlled lateralization of the arch to create the desired increase in upper facial width while maintaining a natural skeletal contour. Key Design Parameters 1. Amount of Width Increase This is the most important variable. Typical augmentation: 3–5 mm per side: Read More…
