Mandibular Angle Implants

Adding volume and contour

Blunted mandibular angles create a softer oval appearance of the lower face, which may be undesirable, especially to men, who want to have a "strong, chiseled jaw" or a more masculine appearance.

Mandibular angle implants are very useful for adding volume and contour to the posterior lower face. Reasons for seeking augmentation of the mandibular angle include congenitally small mandible or micrognathia reconstruction, reconstruction after a trauma or resection.

Lower facial implants are relatively simple—on one hand, they can be easily removed, and on the other hand, they can provide permanent augmentation.
