Jaw implants increase the width of the lower third of your face. Much like the chin, a weak jaw can be thought of as one that is not well-defined and distinct from the neck, or one that slopes rather than angles from the ear to the chin. In some cases, both the chin and jaw can contribute to facial imbalance.

There are surgical and nonsurgical techniques for Jaw Augmentation. Nonsurgical procedure is to use fillers to augment and reshape jawlines. The downside is that you will need to have the procedure repeated every 1 - 2 years depending on the type of the filler but many see this as an advantage because there is hardly any downtime nor recovery time.

Facial implants bring balance and better proportion to the structural appearance of your face. They define your face by increasing projection and creating more distinct features.
