For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for your question. There are a few ways to accomplish mandible augmentation. Fillers are the simplest and give you a good idea of what enhancement in certain areas would look like. The pro of this is that if you dislike it, the filler isn't permanent. However, lack of permanence could also be a downside. There are also numerous implants that could be used to give you the look you're going for. I hope this helps, and all the best to you.
Dear Eclectic487163,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
The only assured method of augmenting the lower jaw in all three dimensions (bigger and wider) is a custom wrap around jawline implant. This method enhances the entire inferolateral border of the mandible from one jaw angle across the chin to the other jaw angle.
From the side profile photograph, it appears that you have a mild recessive mandible, since the mandible bone itself did not grow far enough forward. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your mandible. When placing a chin implant, majority of the augmentation occurs in the forward projection, but there's also a moderate amount of width that occurs as well
