A custom jawline implant is the most effective method for enhancing the skeletal structure of the lower third of the face. By having a connected implant that wraps around the entire jawline with dimensions that are predetermined by a computer design process, the most effective aesthetic jaw augmentation is achieved. But while a custom jawline Read More…
Background: The shape and symmetry of the eyes is critically judged by many people because they are paired and are always the first thing seen on the face when looking in a mirror. Such critical assessment of the face has now become magnified with the proliferation of selfies and the widespread use of self-photography that Read More…
The midface is a general term that is often used to refer to any structure between the eyes and the lower jaw, excluding that of the nose specifically. (even though it lies in the midface region) Anatomically it includes the infraorbital rims of the eyes, the zygoma and zygomatic arch and the maxilla down to Read More…
A custom wraparound jawline implant is a supercharged chin implant that augments the entire jawline. As a result it shares some similarities in placement as both type of jaw implants need an anterior incision. (the total jawline implant also needs two additional intraoral incisions to get the jaw angle parts in the proper position) This Read More…
Background: The jaw angle is the intersection of the vertical and horizontal components of the non-tooth bearing part of the lower jaw. Its development and size add a structural feature to the lower face whose prominence is usually viewed as a favorable feature for either men or women. Once developed the jaw angle bone changes Read More…
Background: A well defined jawline is a desirous lower facial feature for both men and women. Such a look is usually when there is a smooth connection between the chin in the front and the jaw angles in the back. This also means that both the chin and jaw angle points have a visible presence Read More…
The most simplest definition of vertical orbital dystopia is that the eyes do not lie on the same horizontal plane. While it could be that the abnormal eye sits too high, it is far more common that the vertical direction of deformity is that it sits lower than the opposite normal eye. This can occur Read More…
A custom jawline implant is the most effective method to reshape the lower third of the face. By expanding the inferolateral border of the mandible from angle to angle a linear jawline can be created with varying projections of its three corners…if one has the right facial structure to do so. (not overly thick soft Read More…
A custom jawline implant is the most powerful changer of the shape of the lower face. Because it creates a volumetric expansion of the entire bony surface of the lower jaw that is responsible for its external appearance, it can create jawline changes that are not capable from any other operation. Even a sagittal split Read More…
There are two powerful jawline techniques for changing the size and shape of the lower third of the face. Orthognathic surgery is well known and has been done for many decades. In the developmentally deficient lower jaw sagittal split osteotomies, particularly if a chin augmentation is combined with it, can produce dramatic changes in the Read More…
