What Are Mandibular (Jaw) Implants?
Mandibular implants are custom-designed prosthetics placed along the jawbone to enhance or restore the jawline’s structure. These implants, made from safe materials like medical-grade silicone, are carefully crafted to fit your unique facial structure. They’re placed along your jawbone to create a more prominent and defined look.
Types of Implants
- Mandibular Angle Implants: Enhance the angles of the jaw for a sharper and more defined look.
- Chin Implants: Often combined with mandibular implants to provide a cohesive facial profile.
Purpose
- Enhance the jawline’s definition
- Correct asymmetry or underdeveloped jawlines
- Balance facial proportions for a more harmonious appearance
Benefits of Mandibular Augmentation
Dr. Young’s expertise in Mandibular Implants in Seattle offers numerous benefits to patients:
- A more defined jawline: Mandibular implants can add that extra “wow” factor, creating a sharper, more sculpted appearance.
- Improved facial symmetry: If your jawline is uneven or less developed on one side, implants can help restore balance and harmony to your face.
- A permanent solution: Unlike temporary fillers, implants offer a long-lasting way to enhance your jawline.

Mandibular Implant Surgery Procedure
Surgery Time
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity and whether other procedures, such as chin augmentation, are included.
Technique
Dr. Young utilizes a scar-free approach by placing incisions inside the mouth. A small drain is often inserted behind the ear to minimize fluid buildup and swelling during recovery.
Customization
Each implant is customized to fit the patient’s facial structure, ensuring natural-looking results.
Combination with Other Procedures
In cases where the chin and jawline need enhancement, Dr. Young may combine chin implant surgery with mandibular implants for a cohesive transformation.
What Is the Recovery Time for a Mandibular Angle Implant?
Recovery Timeline
- Initial Recovery: Patients typically require 1-2 weeks off work to rest and heal.
- Full Recovery: Swelling and bruising resolve within 4-6 weeks.
Post-Operative Care
Dr. Young emphasizes the importance of wrapping the jaw tightly for two hours and then loosening it for one hour during waking hours to limit swelling. A lighter wrap can be worn at night. Staying less active during recovery also helps promote optimal healing.
How Long Do Jawline Implants Last?
Mandibular implants are designed to be a permanent solution. With proper care, patients can enjoy long-term results without the need for replacements.
