  • Jaw Augmentation

    Many men prize a strong, wide jawline as a symbol of masculinity and women can also be dissatisfied with a very weak jawline that is not harmonious to their other facial features. A jaw augmentation with mandibular implants can address a poorly defined jawline and deliver a permanent alternative to temporary dermal fillers.

The Jaw Augmentation Procedure

A poorly defined or too narrow jawline can be addressed with implants to reshape the mandibular angle. The jaw augmentation procedure can also address asymmetries or correct facial trauma.

Surgery Time

2 – 3 hours

Anaesthetic

General

Hospital Stay

Day case or one night hospital stay if required

Time Off Work

1 – 2 weeks

Full Recovery

4 – 6 weeks

Mandibular implants are composed of materials such as biocompatible PEEK, which have safely been used in surgery for many years, and they can either be pre-formed or custom-made to create the desired jawline and profile shape. They are permanent but can be replaced or removed if required.

Mr Juling Ong’s expertise as a facial reconstructive surgeon means he is highly skilled in producing a subtle improvement that achieves a more attractive appearance to the lower face. Mr Juling Ong will carefully plan the procedure to adjust the projection, shape and volume of the jaw and will take into account your individual facial characteristics.

Mr Ong inserts the implants through incisions made on the inside of the mouth so there will be no visible scarring when healed. The implants will be carefully chosen to fit the underlying bony contours and the desired outcome. The implants are then secured to the underlying bone with small titanium screws.

A mandibular augmentation may be combined with chin implants or a genioplasty to achieve the desired appearance of the lower third of the face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mandibular implant surgery safe?

Facial implants are typically well tolerated by the body. There is a small risk of infection, and you will be prescribed antibiotics for a few days after surgery to minimise this complication. If an infection does occur, the mandibular implants can be removed and replaced when the infection is successfully treated.

What is the downtime like after jaw implant surgery?

There will be swelling, bruising and discomfort after surgery. Any discomfort is managed by over-the-counter painkillers and the post-operative swelling will resolve in the first couple of weeks. There may be a change of sensation in the lower face that can last a few months.

When can I return to normal activities after mandibular implant surgery?

Most patients can return to work within two weeks, and you are advised to avoid any strenuous physical activity for up to six weeks.

During your consultation, Mr Juling Ong will explain all potential risks and discuss your treatment options in full. Please call us on‬ 020 7927 6528 or email us at info@julingong.com to arrange an appointment.

I saw Dr Juling for a very complicated problem from the past with multiple corrections before.I can tell for sure now... he is one of the best surgeons I can find in London! I had few consultations with him before the surgery. Comparing to other surgeons, he is confident, high skilled, patient and a good listener. All consultations including free follow up were almost 1 hour long without any rush at all,We finally decided to do few procedures including a facelift to address my concerns and repair the face.Fast forward to the day, he made a very detailed & tailored plan. Despite it involves a standard facelift, he didn’t cut into my hairline.I was able to meet friends from day 3. Despite expected swelling, my incision is so short and neat. All my friends would want to see him now. Comparing my incision to some “famous surgeon work”, I can clearly tell how talent he is. My incision is way more short and neat. There is no tension at all at surface level.Juling has the best manner too. He never judges me but listens to my concern and works with me. Whenever I email him my concerns, he always gets back to me so quickly and provides detailed suggestions/advices. I feel incredibly lucky to find him, and I will go no one else if I need anything in future. His work is incredible, amazing and much better than some heavily advertised, highly charged surgeons. I strongly recommend you seeing him if you need anything done/fixed and want to find a kind heart, professional and super talented surgeon.read more
