For a Balanced, Sculpted Look

What is mandibular augmentation?

Mandibular augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the structure and definition of the jaw using mandibular implants.

This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking improved jawline contouring, correction of asymmetries, or restoration after trauma. Options include jaw implants, mandibular angle implants, and chin implants, which can work together to create a more cohesive, defined look.

Our procedures are fully customizable, offering materials such as silicone implants for a softer, natural feel, or titanium implants for added durability. The goal is to achieve a balanced facial appearance that enhances your natural beauty.

Detail in Action

What is the mandibular augmentation procedure like?

The jaw implant surgery process begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Yoo designs a plan tailored to your unique goals. During the procedure, implants are precisely placed to enhance your jawline or chin, using small, discreet incisions inside the mouth or under the jaw to minimize visible scarring.

This implant surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. Dr. Yoo’s extensive expertise in facial implant surgery ensures precise placement for optimal symmetry and contour.
