What is a Jaw Implant?
A jaw implant, also known as a jaw augmentation, is when a surgeon uses synthetic or biological implants to make a person’s jaw, or mandibular, seem more prominent. A jaw implant tends to make the facial features more defined. Sometimes a jaw implant is combined with a chin implant to further accentuate a person’s face. A good candidate for a jaw implant would be someone who has a weak-looking or under-defined facial structure in the jaw area. Having a weak jaw structure can tend to make a person’s nose seem large or a prominent nose seem even larger. A person with a weak jaw structure may also appear to have a double chin.
