A jaw implant is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the width, definition, and symmetry of the lower face. It is ideal for individuals with a narrow or underdeveloped jawline who seek a more balanced, structured, and sculpted appearance.
Chin implants are typically placed at the tip of the lower jaw (mandibular symphysis), while jaw implants are positioned at the mandibular angles when additional lower face enhancement is needed. These procedures are especially beneficial for patients with underdeveloped (hypoplastic) mandibles, often associated with bite misalignment (occlusal irregularities).
