Will Jaw Implants Make my Jawline More Square and Defined?

Question

I'm a 24 yo male looking to get jaw implants. i was thinking about getting chin lipo to bring out my jawline but now I'm thinking about implants...i feel like that would be better because the jaw implants will not only make my jawline more defined but it will also make it more squared off....like brad pitt.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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

First and foremost, get an appointment with an expert surgeon to evaluate your face and discuss your options. Then you can decide which procedures will fit your feature best.

Facial implants can make significant improvements to the shape and balance of the face. Jawline implants, known as mandibular angles, can give a square or masculine appearance to those who have an underdeveloped jaw. This can be combined with chin implants as well. Common implant types are silastic and Medpor - my preference is Medpor.

Thanks for this question. Yes, jaw implants can achieve a more square appearance to the jaw. The devices come in many shapes and sizes that can add projection and/or width to the contour of the jaw. Choosing a wider implant in males will give a more "Brad Pitt-like" appearance. Best of luck.

Consider simple neck, jaw line liposuction first.  This is much easier than jaw implants.  If you are set on jaw implants do Juvederm first and see if you like the effect.   Jaw implants are often problematic so search out a surgeon that does a vast number.  Chin implants are great but jaw implants are less well liked by many patients.  See 4 or 5 ABPS surgeons in your area.  Steve Schendel, MD , DDS  in Palo Alto and Beverly Hills does a bunch of these.   Think simple first and see the results.  Photos are important in a question such as this because in answering we are all shooting in the dark of night.  My Best,  Dr C
