Non-Surgical Jaw Makeovers for Men can Create Superhero Features

Men are generally competitive beings and yes, like many women, men also compete with their looks. A chiselled chin or strong jaw line can automatically make a man appear to have a stronger personality and look more confident or more masculine. A recent study shows that men with strong jaw lines or a chiselled chin are more successful in the executive world and even in show business, as the strong facial feature is prominent on superheroes as well as on leading men.

Many surgeons report that this is the reason why jaw line procedures are now number two in popularity for male makeovers, next to liposuction.  There are two types of jaw makeovers:

1.       Chin reduction which reshapes the bone structure to give a smoother outline of the jaw.

2.       Chin augmentation which involves implants or changing the bone position.

Men, and women, would prefer to avoid looking as if they have had work done which may be one of the reasons why many non-surgical jaw sculpting procedures have been developed. Non-surgical procedures are not only faster, but also less painful when compared with surgical procedures.

The Different Types of Non-Surgical Jaw Makeovers:

·         Ultrasound and fillers: This procedure involves the use of ultrasound to tighten the skin on the neck area making the chin stand out. Fillers are used to widen and add emphasis to the chin. Men usually need three to five syringes per procedure at a cost of approximately $800 per syringe. Although the results of this procedure are fast, there is a risk of bruising. It is recommended that the procedure be performed yearly as fillers are absorbed by the body which cause the jaw makeover to lose its effect over time.

·         Ultherapy:  This method uses heat through ultrasound to cause an intentional thermal injury. The effect is slower to appear and may take effect after three to six months.

·         UltraTight: Performed with the use of an ultrasonic wand to deliver heat under the skin as a means of regenerating collagen, this procedure requires two small holes, not needing stitches, to be made under the chin. Although it is reported to be a more aggressive procedure compared to others, patients are only required to wear a chin bandage for a day to help the skin heal close to the muscle wall. Results are apparent after swelling decreases.

·         Fat Freezing: Although this procedure is currently available only for the body, it is anticipated that the FDA will soon approve injections that dissolve skin fat on the face and neck.

A strong jaw is desired by many men to improve their look as it is reported to make careers more successful, possibly due to the confidence that a man exudes when he has a superhero face.
