Background: The importance of a well defined jawline in a male is essentially equivalent to breasts in a female. It is certainly the single most important facial feature for a man and can even be argued that it is the most important overall body feature. Improving a man’s facial profile has historically been focused on Read More…
Facial implants of any type of dimensions will always cause some temporary swelling and bruising. Both types of performed jaw implants, chin and jaw angles, cause a predictable amount of facial swelling that will most certainly be viewed as significant by the patient. Typical facial swelling takes two days to reach its peak and the Read More…
Jawline enhancement or jawline augmentation is where various dimensions of the lower facial skeleton are built up. Unlike chin augmentation, jawline augmentation refers to both chin and jaw angle for a more overall effect. Such a jawline effect is typically thought of as being exclusively for men. And while that is true most of the Read More…
A strong and/or well defined jawline is a valuable aesthetic feature of the lower face in both men and women. While isolated and combined individual chin and jaw angle implants can be effective at achieving it, a one-piece wrap around jawline implant is the most effective way to achieve a completely smooth jawline augmentation.

The most approach today is that of an injectable technique using either synthetic fillers or the patient’s own fat. The injectable cheek augmentation material is often highly influenced by whether any other surgery is being done, fillers in Read More…

Due to the way the jaw develops and its unique shape, a small or weak chin is also associated with Read More…
Deficiences of the infraorbital rim and cheek often appear as under eye hollows. The most common treatments are either synthetic injectable fillers or fat injections for this type of periorbital recession. While effective in many cases, injections may not be permanent or create a uniform appearance. For those patients that seek a permanent solution with Read More…
Background: Soft tissue contractures of the face cause a variety of deformities. Even with normal underlying bone structures, loss of overlying soft tissue volume and shape can make the face appear deficient and distorted. This is most classically illustrated by burn patients who suffer the greatest amounts of soft tissue loss and deformity when suffering Read More…
Background: Symmetry of the lower third of the face, and the jawline specifically, is one of the most important components of facial aesthetics. Asymmetry in the jawline can occur in any of its components from the chin, body or ramus of the mandible. Differences in lengths of the ramus due to development is one of Read More…
While individual chin and jaw angle implants make up the majority of lower facial augmentations, the use of custom jawline implants is steadily growing in use. Offering a total jawline approach, these wrap around implants cover the entire lower jaw from angle to angle crossing the chin anteriorly. No other implant approach can rival Read More…
