Jaw Implants in Miami, FL
At Revive Surgical Institute, we deliver state-of-the-art jaw implant surgeries to allow patients to have a stronger and more chiseled jaw. A defined jaw is a crucial element in facial balance and attractiveness. Genetic factors, aging, or previous injury can make it a weak or asymmetrical jaw. But with advancements in implant technologies and surgical techniques, jaw shape can be strengthened to give it a chiseled and proportionate appearance.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Morad Askari, has over a decade of experience in plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgery. He is a specialist in intricate facial sculpting procedures to deliver naturally beautiful results. We are dedicated to providing professional care, safety to our patients, and customized treatment.
What Are Jaw Implants?
A jaw implant, or mandibular augmentation, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size, shape, and definition of the jaw. During the operation, Dr. Askari positions a customized implant along the jawbone. The goal is to create a better facial balance and symmetry.
These implants do not alter overall facial features extensively but fortify the jaw for a more defined look. It can, however, be combined with chin augmentation, neck liposuction, or facial fat transfer for overall lower-face improvement. Surgery is typically done with small incisions inside the mouth or below the chin. Thus, patients get minimal scarring and naturally looking results.
Jaw Implants Patient Journey
Jaw Implant Types
Lipo 360, also called circumferential liposuction, helps eliminate excess fat from the full circumference of the midsection. Areas for Lipo 360 in Miami include:
Mandibular Angle Implants
These are placed in the rear of the jaw, below and behind the ear, to give a stronger, more chiseled jaw. Mandibular implants are most suited for those who lack a naturally formed jaw angle. Or it is an option for those who wish to have a more chiseled, masculine appearance. Mandibular implants provide width and projection to enhance facial balance and definition of the lower face.
Chin Implants
Chin implants improve chin projection and overall jawline balance. They are most suited for patients with a receding or weak chin and are used to balance out facial proportions. Dr. Askari recommends chin implant surgery in conjunction with jaw angle implants to provide a more defined and balanced lower face. Chin surgery is performed using a small, discreet incision either inside the mouth or under the chin to ensure minimal visible scarring.
Wrap-Around Implants
These implants provide complete jawline augmentation from the chin to the mandibular angle. They can create a cohesive, defined jawline. If patients want a more striking chin and jaw angle, this could be the case for them. It adds definition along with width and overall symmetry for a solid result.
Jaw Implant Procedure
Initial Consultation and Testing
In the initial check-up, Dr. Askari keenly observes the patient’s jaw structure, facial symmetry, and skin elasticity. This way, he can determine the most suitable jaw implant size and surgical method. Next, our surgeon discusses their cosmetic aspirations with the patient, explains what can be done during the procedure, and provides an estimated price for surgery. Then, he may take some pre-op photos for later comparisons with post-operative results.
Dr. Askari then asks a patient to undergo a full medical evaluation. It may include blood tests, imaging studies, and an EKG. Certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or chronic infections, may preclude a patient from undergoing surgery. Once cleared, a patient is provided with extensive preoperative instructions to prepare for a successful surgery and recovery.
The Surgery
Marking and Anesthesia
Pre-op, Dr. Askari marks the chin and jawline to define areas for implant placement. Then, our anesthesiologist administers either general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia. The aim is to make sure that the patient is pain-free and relaxed throughout.
Incision and Implant Placement
Next, our surgeon makes small, discreet incisions inside the mouth (intraoral) or under the chin (submental), depending on anatomy and implant type. He uses these incisions to establish a pocket along the jawbone. Next, Dr. Askari carefully places the implant, positioning and shaping it naturally. He then stabilizes the implant to prevent shifting.
Closure of Incisions
After placing the implant in position, our surgeon closes the incisions using dissolvable stitches. If incisions are intraoral, there will be no scars as they are fully concealed. The surgery takes one to two hours, and with post-operative instructions, patients can return home.
Recovery After a
Jaw Implant
Immediate Recovery
After the facial implant procedure, patients stay in our comfortable facility for several hours. During this time, our staff monitors them as they recover from anesthesia. Swelling, tightness, and mild pain can be anticipated. But these conditions can be relieved with pain medication and cold compresses. Dr. Askari provides specific post-surgery instructions to promote a smooth recovery.
First Weeks
We advise our patients to stay on a diet of soft foods for the first two to three weeks. This way, they can reduce jaw motion and irritation at the incision site. During this time, swelling and bruising will decrease. In 7 to 10 days, Dr. Askari will remove any external sutures. Patients should avoid heavy exercise, heavy chewing, and facial pressure to enable healing. They can return to work in a week or two, depending on the extent of their surgery.
Long-Term Results
In three to four months, the swelling will fully subside. Then, patients can enjoy the final shape and definition of their jaw. Once healed, the implant feels completely natural, blending seamlessly with the facial structure. With good care, patients have an improved jawline, which is sustained over time.
Candidates for a Jaw Implant
A stronger, well-defined jawline is what jaw implant surgery offers. Those who want to have this procedure should have:
Benefits of Jaw Implant Surgery
Stronger, More Defined Jawline
Jaw implant surgery reshapes the jaw to give it a stronger and more angular profile. With added shape and volume, the procedure defines the lower face and corrects facial proportion. Patients get a more chiseled and sculpted look, enhancing overall facial balance.
Balanced Facial Proportions
Implants are beneficial for people who have weak jaws because they may fix symmetry issues. The well-projecting chin creates balance among all other facial features so that they appear proportional and attractive in shape.
Increased Confidence
Improved self-esteem is one of the major benefits of having a well-defined jawline. After undergoing the procedure, patients feel as though they appear more attractive and self-assured when interacting in professional settings or social situations. This change makes them feel closer to looking like they ideally would and so boosts their confidence even further.
Long-term, Permanent Results
Temporary fillers do not offer a lasting solution for an undefined jawline or chin. Chin implant procedure, on the other hand, can provide permanent correction and definition. These implants are made from a biocompatible material that fuses with the existing bone. With proper care and stable body weight, patients have lasting, defined contours.
Adaptable to Individual Needs
Since jaw augmentation is available in a variety of sizes and forms, it is a highly versatile procedure. Subtle or extreme changes can be made depending on what is desired. Dr. Askari can tailor each procedure to achieve a proportionate, naturally appearing result.
