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.

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…
Background: A strong jawline is always viewed as a favorable facial feature in a man. This desirable male facial feature dates back thousands of years and is of no less significance today. Once can debate as to why the development of the lower jaw and its attached musculature is so appealing for men, but jawline Read More…
