Treatment Overview
Mandibular Body Implant Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the lower jaw’s shape, width, and definition. By placing a biocompatible implant along the mandibular body, surgeons can improve jawline contour, facial symmetry, and overall lower-face aesthetics.
In Korea, surgeons use advanced 3D imaging and precision surgical techniques to customize the implant to the patient’s facial structure, ensuring natural and proportionate results that harmonize with the chin, jaw angle, and midface.
Purpose & Benefits
- Enhances the lower jaw’s projection, width, and contour
- Creates a sharper, more defined jawline
- Improves facial symmetry and balance
- Corrects a weak or narrow mandibular body
- Long-lasting alternative to fillers or non-surgical contouring
- Can be combined with chin, cheek, or jaw angle implants for full lower-face harmony
Ideal Candidates
- Individuals with a weak, narrow, or undefined mandibular body
- Patients seeking a stronger and more proportionate jawline
- Adults in good health with realistic expectations
- Those looking for permanent, long-lasting results
- People desiring subtle and natural lower-face enhancement
Possible Risks & Complications
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness
- Minor asymmetry or implant shifting
- Rare risk of infection or implant rejection
- Scarring, typically hidden inside the mouth
- Overcorrection or unnatural appearance if implant size is improperly selected
Surgical Techniques Used
- Intraoral Incision Approach – Hidden incision inside the mouth to avoid visible scars
- Subperiosteal Implant Placement – Positioning directly on the mandibular bone for natural contour

- Avoid heavy chewing or applying pressure on the jaw during early recovery
- Cold compresses recommended for first 48 hours to reduce swelling
- Limit strenuous activity and heat exposure for one week
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor implant positioning, symmetry, and healing
Results & Longevity
