Abstract:
Facial aging changes due to increased skin laxity as well as soft tissue atrophy and decent lead to blunting and distortion of previously well-defined zones of the face and neck. A critical component of re-establishing a youthful appearance during facelift and neck lift surgery is restoring a well-defined mandibular contour. Key principles of jawline refinement include the addition of volume to deficient areas and removal of volume in areas of unwanted fullness to re-establish facial harmony in the lower face and neck. In this article, we describe a novel classification of jawline zones and discuss our stepwise surgical approach to aid in the systematic evaluation and surgical treatment of the jawline.
