Can Placement of a Custom Jawline Implant Be Done Without Mouth Incisions?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is the only way to achieve jaw augmentation an incision outer of the mouth area? What about 3 pieces implant? The incision will be visible?

A: Custom jawline implants are placed as one solid piece, which is what you want for their linear effect, through three small incisions. Two inside the mouth back on the cheeks opposite tyhe 2nd/3rd molars and one small one under the chin.

While the intraoral incisions can be replaced by external ones behind the jaw angles that would leave external scars…which for some men may be acceptable but not for females.
