Today, accentuating the jawline and the ‘fox eye’ and ‘cat eye’ makeup trends have become beauty standards for the face. These trends have gained significant attention from models, fashion designers, and those involved in the fashion and beauty industries in recent years. In this article, we will discuss the impact of a defined jawline on facial beauty and the methods of creating an angular jawline, such as jawline implant surgery.
A defined jawline not only adds attractiveness to the face but also significantly impacts the beauty of the neck area. As seen in the image below, a prominent jawline greatly contributes to showcasing the straight line of the lower jaw, which is considered one of the prominent signs of youth and beauty.
With a little attention to the faces of models in television commercials and billboards promoting accessories such as sunglasses, jewelry, and more, one can understand how a defined jawline enhances the attractiveness and proportion of these faces. This, in turn, captures the attention of viewers, and it can be confidently said that it might be impossible to look away from the faces of these attractive and beautiful models.
Perhaps the best answer to this question is that the original idea of a bony face and defined jawline is not human-made but rather the work of nature. However, humans, driven by the instinct to benefit from beauty, have gravitated towards the beauty of nature and have defined beauty one by one. You may have heard of the golden ratio or the number phi. Many believe that adhering to this ratio in natural beauty, even if followed by humans, can create natural beauty.
By researching the facial beauty of many models, we will conclude that a portion of this beauty is genetic. However, much of it is the result of the skilled hands of talented doctors and surgeons who, with their knowledge of techniques and facial beauty ratios, can create prominent jaws with beautiful angles using implants, bone modifications, and injections of fillers or fat.
Therefore, in this brief article, we intend to discuss these methods and techniques, focusing specifically on jawline implants
Jawline augmentation using implants is primarily for cosmetic purposes and is suitable for individuals who desire a more pronounced jawline. Often, these people have no congenital facial defects and seek this procedure solely for aesthetic reasons. However, in some cases, individuals may have a developmental defect or asymmetrical bone growth, resulting in underdevelopment of the jawbone on one or both sides of the face. In such cases, the jaw angle may also be affected. To correct this asymmetry, unilateral or bilateral jawline implants can be used.

Polyethylene implants (porous polyethylene chin implant) are known by the brand name “Medpor” in Iran and are considered the most suitable implant used by experienced surgeons in Iran for jawline augmentation. Medpor implants offer a wide variety of models and sizes and can be customized and shaped for each individual due to their malleability. These features have led to significant satisfaction among doctors and users of Medpor implants.
Another type of implant used in jawline augmentation surgery available in the country is silicone implants, which have a smaller variety and are not as malleable. Although placing this type of implant is much easier for the surgeon than Medpor jawline implants, it is used less frequently due to its lack of malleability, and patients have lower satisfaction rates with it.
Jawline implant surgery is often performed under general anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the mouth, and the jaw implant is placed in the desired location by the surgeon. “An important point to consider about the incision site is that since the incision is not made on the facial skin or neck, there will be no visible scar.” Although the jaw implant can be left in place without sutures or screws, it is better to secure it with screws to prevent any potential displacement.
To better understand the surgical procedure and how the jaw implant is placed, you can watch a video of this surgery.
If someone is not willing to undergo jawline implant surgery to enhance their jawline, they can consider other options such as fat injections, dermal filler injections, and even the use of special volumizing threads like lifting threads. These methods are recommended for cases where a slight enhancement of the jawline will yield the desired result. Among these methods, the results of dermal filler injections and thread lifting are temporary, and the jawline augmentation will need to be repeated after a period of time. On the other hand, using fat injections for augmentation will produce longer-lasting results. However, for individuals who are very demanding and want a significant enhancement in their jawline, these alternative methods may not be satisfactory and are not recommended.

It’s important to note that jawline implants create a prominence in the bony skeleton, whereas alternative methods such as fillers and fat injections thicken the soft tissue that lies over the bone. The prominent bone remains completely stationary with head and neck movements, up, down, and to the sides, maintaining its prominence and beauty. In contrast, the soft tissue over the bone can shift a few millimeters in any direction. For example, depending on the position of the head and neck, it may appear to enhance the jawline above or below its actual location.
Facial asymmetry is caused by improper bone growth and cannot be corrected solely by changing the jaw angle. In general, facial asymmetry, including the jaw angle, is not only not corrected by using implants but may become more apparent. This is because using an implant makes the jaw angle more prominent, which may highlight other facial imperfections and asymmetries.
The overall goal of cosmetic surgery is to correct facial flaws as much as possible while ensuring that all facial features are proportionate. Correcting one area of the face should not disrupt the overall facial harmony.
1.Individuals with wide, broad faces
2. Individuals with short necks and excess weight
These individuals believe that by implanting a jawline prosthesis, these flaws will be corrected, and significant changes will be made to their appearance. However, in reality, this result will not be achieved. It’s important to understand that the changes achieved in the appearance of people with wide faces will be minor, and if they are seeking dramatic changes, it’s best to consider other options rather than undergoing this surgery
Generally, we expect the results of jawline implant surgery to be more satisfactory in individuals with thin faces and necks compared to those with chubby or wide faces.
Although jawline implant surgery is considered safe, like any other surgery, it can have complications. These complications can include pain, swelling, or infection. However, each of these complications can be prevented or treated with specific approaches.
Given the nature of the surgery and the post-operative conditions, it is essential to be aware of the specific post-surgery care procedures. This will allow you to return to your normal life as quickly as possible and avoid any specific complications arising from the surgery. For this reason, our post-surgery support team will be with you immediately after the surgery by sending you a post-surgery care file and contacting you by phone.
Jaw implants are often used to address cases where the facial bone has not developed fully or has experienced some atrophy. While placing an implant can slightly improve sagging
If the goal of placing a jaw implant is to create symmetry, it is best to avoid this procedure.
Since the implant is biocompatible, it is not rejected by the body, and the probability of infection is less than 1%.
Depending on the individual’s facial shape, after evaluation, there is a possibility that a jaw implant can make the face appear slightly longer. However, in jaw implant surgery, the face is generally perceived as wider
Medpor implants typically do not require replacement. If the implant is made of silicone, it’s best to consult with your doctor.
Medpor implants can be shaped to fit the desired form, while silicone implants cannot be altered.
A Medpor implant has a porous texture, similar to bone tissue. It can be shaped and does not typically require replacement.
A silicone implant has a gel-like texture. It cannot be reshaped and is best replaced after a maximum of ten years.
Since Medpor implants have a porous texture similar to bone tissue, the probability of infection is less than one percent.
Since silicone implants have a gel-like texture and are not as closely integrated with bone tissue, the risk of infection is higher in these types of implants, especially in the jaw area.
After any surgery, especially when there is an incision, taking antibiotics is usually necessary. However, since the incision for jaw implant surgery is inside the mouth, a specific type of antibiotic must be used.
It varies from person to person. However, on average, more than 80% of the swelling subsides within the first month. The remaining 20% usually resolves between 3 and 6 months.
