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

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.

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.

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

It's hard to comment on your specific case without seeing a photo or evaluating you in person. That being said, I typically would recommend starting with fillers to address the jawline. If you like the look and want a more permanent result, then that is when I would consider a plastic surgery consultation for an implant. 

Implants will create a more structured and squared appearance.  Fillers will create more shape in the jaw area however the result will be a softer appearance versus squared.  Fillers are temporary and will require repeated treatments to maintain the results, however, it may be a good idea to try fillers first.  If you like the results, you may want to consider moving forward with implants for a permanent result.  I recommend consulting with a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in facial implant surgery. Look through before and after photos from the surgeon and make sure you like the results she/she has achieved.Best,DR.
