Mandibular angle implants help adding volume to a narrow face, giving it a more well-balanced and masculine contour. Some patients gives specific examples of celebrities, such as Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio. But patients should always remember that an implant does not turn anyone automatically into a runway model or a celebrity lookalike. This is best expressed by the following explanation: "an attractive face is much more than the sum of its individual parts - rather, beauty lies in its harmony and uniqueness".

A lower jaw implant is embedded through an incision placed in the mouth, right above the lower molars, and is fixed with titanium screws on the jaw bone. Thus, it is a scar-free method used to give the lower jawline a more sculpted look.
