Jaw Augmentation / Jaw Implant

Jaw Augmentation, Jaw Implant, Mandibular Augmentation:

In recent times, stronger jawlines have been sought because a strong natural jawline looks healthy and attractive in men and women. A strong jawline makes the face more masculine, while conversely, a less defined jawline appears feminine. Sometimes, women with a weak jawline want to be more balanced and defined. Some famous actresses like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have very strong natural jawlines.

Jaw Augmentation Procedure:

The patient is given a general anesthetic.
Internal incisions are usually made directly inside the mouth on either side of the lower lip, meaning there is no external scar.

Stitches are absorbable and dissolve within a few weeks.
The procedure takes 1 - 2 hours.

Why Jawline can identify gender?

The shape of a jawline plays a significant role in how we perceive a person's gender. A strong, defined jawline is often considered masculine, while a softer, less defined jawline is perceived as feminine.

‘This perception is heavily influenced by societal norms and gender stereotypes that have been ingrained in our culture over time.’

A masculine jawline is typically characterized by a square or rectangular shape with a sharp angle at the jawline. This shape is often associated with strength, power, and masculinity. Men with a strong jawline are usually perceived as more confident and assertive, which are traits traditionally associated with masculinity.
A feminine jawline is typically characterized by a softer, rounder shape with a more gradual angle at the jawline. This shape is often associated with delicate features, femininity, and beauty. Women with a softer jawline are usually perceived as more delicate and feminine, which aligns with traditional gender norms.

‘Gender identity and physical characteristics are two different things; gender identity is an inner feeling and understanding of oneself as male, female, neither, or a combination of male/female; it's not based on physical characteristics.’

In conclusion, a jawline's shape impacts perceptions of gender but is not a definitive indicator of a person's gender. Society's gender norms and stereotypes play a significant role in shaping these perceptions, and it's essential to recognize that not all individuals conform to these traditional perceptions.
