Custom jawline implants offer an unparalleled ability to reshape the entire jawline and the lower face. Combining chin and jaw angle augmentation in a connected fashion can have a powerful effect given the surface area of the lower jaw that it covers. Because of this surface area coverage even small amounts of implant thickness create Read More…
The well defined jawline has become a desirable facial feature. Actually I do not think that a weaker or poorly defined jawline has ever been a desired facial trait. But with today’s aesthetic facial trends highlighted by strong social media exposure has brought this desirous lower facial shape into high focus. While most commonly pursued Read More…
Background: A stronger and more defined jawline is a frequent aesthetic facial request for both men and women today. While jawline augmentation used to exclusively refer to the chin (front part of the jaw), today a more comprehensive approach is usually done for an entire lower facial effect from the chin back to the jaw Read More…
Background: Jawline augmentation today usually refers to enhancement of its three primary aesthetic points, the chin and two jaw angles. There are a variety of standard preformed chin and jaw angle implants to achieve this effect and, with proper implant style and size, satisfactory results can be achieved.

Background: The shape of the lower face is primarily influenced by the size and dimensions of the mandible or lower jaw. Being the only moveable bone on the face it has a unique shape due to the biomechanical stresses placed on it as well as having to contain up to sixteen teeth that pass loading Read More…
Background: Lower facial asymmetry is most commonly associated with the shape of the jawline. While patients often present with chin asymmetry, closer inspection often reveals that it extends back along the jawline as well. With the chin asymmetry the jawline on the longer chin side is lower and conversely it is higher on the shorter Read More…
Jawline augmentation has traditionally been thought of as male procedure. Envisioning a defined and strong jawline is a well known facial feature that has historically implied masculinity and a strong personality. But in today’s world a good jawline is no longer gender specific. Many women of all ages (although more so in younger than older Read More…
Background: Augmenting the jawline today is more than just a chin or jaw angle implants. To change the entire jawline from angle to angle in a smooth united fashion, custom jawline implants offer aesthetic results not previously obtainable. Made from the patient’s 3D CT scan they provide a precise fit to the bone as well Read More…
