Jaw angles implants are becoming increasingly popular for their jawline augmentation effects. Different styles of jaw angle implants allow for a variety of posterior jawline effects from widening, lengthening and combinations thereof. Like a chin implant they are placed in the subperiosteal submuscular position at the back of the jaw. The difference in jaw angle Read More…
Background: A strong and well defined jawline used to be an exclusively male trait. And the pursuit of a stronger jawline through implant surgery used to be only pursued by the young male patient. But that has changed in recent times as now women often desire a stronger jawline as well. When patients, men or Read More…
Background: Jaw angle reduction is a well known surgery that is most commonly performed in Asian patients to narrow a wide lower face. The historic approach for this operation, and still one that is commonly performed, is that of an amputation technique of the jaw angle bone. By cutting off the jaw angle, the lower Read More…
Background: Strong jawlines are historically associated with men as a desired masculine facial feature. While this is certainly still true today, women now desire stronger jawlines as well. But a strong jawline does not mean exactly the same thing for men and women. They are subtle gender differences in what makes up a good looking 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…

The surgical methods to do so are more commonly requested by men particularly when it comes to a substantially larger jawline change. Making a jawline more evident focuses on increasing the size and shape at its ‘corners’, that 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…
Background: Lower jaw deficiencies are most commonly perceived as being of the horizontal variety. A short chin invokes the need for horizontal chin augmentation and this certainly is the most common jaw augmentation procedure. It is also the simplest and most easily performed. But jaw deficiences can occur in other dimensions as well and their Read More…
Background: Facial asymmetry is not uncommon and can occur from multiple causes. One of the most common is that from plagiocephaly where the entire craniofacial skeleton rotates or twists around a central axis resulting in a classic pattern of skull and facial bone asymmetries. But most facial asymmetries do not have such well identified causes Read More…
Augmentation of the jaw angle (often referred to as jawline augmentation) is becoming an increasingly popular aesthetic facial procedure. The recognition that the back part of the jaw as similar aesthetic significance as that of the front part of the jaw (chin) creates a more comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach to lower facial aesthetic enhancement. Read More…
