How Plastic Surgery Can Give You a Better Jawline
For both men and women, a toned jawline adds a sense of symmetry and definition to the facial form. It’s a feature that seems to complement and strengthen other physical traits. Factors such as aging, weight gain and genetics contribute to a less sculpted jawline. Unlike other areas of the body, excess skin and fat around the neck and jawline can be very difficult to naturally eliminate. Therefore, Dr. John LeRoy performs several cosmetic plastic surgery procedures that help patients achieve their ideal facial form.
Procedures to Help You Define Your Jawline
The Facelift
A facelift can successfully tighten skin around the face neck to reveal a more toned jawline. This procedure can take years off an appearance with its ability to smoothen wrinkles and reduce excess skin. At Dr. LeRoy’s office, there are several different types of facelifts that vary in degrees of intensity.
- Traditional facelifts are for individuals who want to gain significant results from their cosmetic procedure. It primarily focuses on the lower half of the face, around the jawline. Final results can take up to 10 years off of a patient’s appearance.
- The Band Aid Facelift has been a staple of Dr. LeRoy’s practice since 1997. It produces more subtle cosmetic results than the traditional facelift while still creating a younger and more refreshed look.
- Patients who want to simply refresh their results in between a traditional or Band Aid Facelift, often select the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift. It provides incremental improvements around the cheeks, jawline and chin.
Necklift Procedure
The necklift procedure is a fantastic cosmetic treatment for patients who want a slimmer neck and sculpted jawline. Manny people naturally develop jowls and loose skin with age, which can diminish the appearance of other facial features. For maximum necklift results, Dr. LeRoy gently uses liposuction to remove any excess fat and then tightens the surrounding skin, according to the specific cosmetic needs of the patient.
Combining a necklift with any of the facelift procedures that we offer is the most efficient way to attain a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. It can significantly improve the jawline for both male and female patients.
Most methods that promise a defined jawline are not sustainable or realistic. There are many tips that circulate online such as chewing gum and facial exercises, but they aren’t nearly as effective as a facelift or necklift.
