Jaw-Angle Implants: before & after and recovery stages

Compare the starting jaw angles, early fullness and the retained wider contour.

Jaw-Angle Implants on a fictional 3D face: before treatment and day 90 · 3 months
Illustrative 3D comparisonLeft: before treatment. Right: day 90 · 3 months in this authored example. The face is a fictional display model, not a patient photograph or a predicted result.

SUMMARY

What this example shows

The lower rear jaw angles become wider and slightly lower. Temporary surgical fullness fades separately from the retained contour. This bilateral angle example keeps the central chin in place and does not plan implant dimensions, fixation or bite changes.

STAGE BY STAGE

Jaw-Angle Implants recovery stages

BEFORE

Starting jaw outline

Both lower jaw angles retain the selected face's original shape.

This example augments the side angles and keeps the central chin in place.

DAY 3

First few days: Fullness hides the angles

Broad local swelling and color overlap the added contour.

Visible early fullness can obscure an implant result.

DAY 30 · 4 WEEKS

Around 1 month: Outline emerging

Less swelling reveals more width and a lower angle edge.

Residual fullness can last beyond the first weeks.

DAY 180 · 6 MONTHS

Around 6 months: Retained angle contour

The wider side angles remain after this example's swelling has faded.

The date is a comparison point, not proof of complete healing.

TIMELINE

Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model

The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.

Before treatmentUntreated reference

The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.

Day 1Added contour and swelling

Early fullness overlaps the wider lower-jaw angles.

Day 3Early lower-face response

Swelling and discoloration obscure the new angle definition.

Day 7Temporary fullness easing

The broad early response begins to recede in this example.

Day 14 · 2 weeksOutline becoming visible

Color changes ease while the lower sides remain full.

Day 30 · 4 weeksResidual swelling

The persistent angle contour becomes easier to separate from swelling.

Day 90 · 3 monthsLater angle comparison

Wider lower angles remain with a small amount of example fullness.

Day 180 · 6 monthsRetained contour example

The displayed outline remains; the surface does not assess implant stability or sensation.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

How recovery can vary

Timing and response

This is a bilateral angle-only surface example. Implant shape, placement and combined procedures vary; the slider does not specify dimensions or a surgical plan.

Longer term

The animation retains the contour. It does not predict implant position, sensation, complications, symmetry or future revision.

04

EVIDENCE NOTES

Sources and limitations

  1. Cleveland Clinic: Jaw implants

    Jaw-angle definition and widening, with swelling that can take months to settle. The animation does not reproduce a measured implant or recovery curve.

  2. ASPS: Facial implant results

    Added contour is initially obscured by swelling; residual fullness can last months and results are intended to persist.
