Are jaw implants or fillers better for creating a square jaw look like Tom Cruise?

Question

I don't see how a filler could possibly do the job that an implant could with fillers being soft and not created specifically for that person's jaw, so is it pretty much just get an implant if you want a great jawline?

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

We do plenty of implants in my office, and these can create a sculpted jawline and chin.  However, you may be able to get a similar, though temporary, result with a filler. The filler would be a softer result certainly, but it could help you understand the results.  Nonetheless, if an implant is your goal, they do work well.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, contouring of the chin and jaw can be improved with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. This will allow you to try on the look before committing to a permanent option like fat or implants. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi and thanks for your question,Filler injection would be a very good non surgical option for you.It is a minor procedure compare to surgery with very minimal downtime but the negative part is that it would be temporary and you need maintenance every few month.I would suggest to see an expert physician for consult before doing any procedure

Hey James!
Fillers will surely give you more of a subtle look than surgery. Surgery however is associated with higher risks, costs, and will be more difficult to modify later.
Why don’t you try filler to begin with which can be added to or easily dissolved if you don’t get the look you’re after.

Onir Spiegel, DDS, PhD · Answer

Hi James,That's a great question and it all depends on the length of time you'd like these results to last. Surgery will of course provide you with longer lasting results. Make sure to see a plastic surgeons that specialize in jaw contouring. Fillers can provide great results. But, those are temporary and will require regular maintenance every six months. Both are great options and it all depends on your goals and personality. All the best from Boston, Dr. Onir
