Making a hidden jawline

Mid-up 2040 lifting surgery!!
It has been a little over five months since wearing masks outdoors
was no longer mandatory.
I thought indoor mask requirements would be lifted not long after that,
but it seems more time is still needed.
Because of that, interest in the lower face, which had been hidden by masks, has increased noticeably in preparation for the upcoming no-mask era.
A patient visited us because they were worried about a poorly defined jawline and a protruding mouth.
They had a small, cute face,
but were concerned about a rounded lower face,
a barely visible jawline, and lips that seemed protruded.


The lower face was small, with sagging skin under the chin
and some fullness.
When the lower face is small, the teeth can appear relatively
protruded, and the lower lip has to work to close the mouth.
The muscle that pushes the lower lip upward in this way is called the mentalis muscle,
and it is the muscle that creates a pebble chin.
The muscle targeted by pebble-chin Botox is precisely the mentalis muscle.

We planned the surgery.
An advancement genioplasty was needed to bring the small, recessed chin forward.
In addition, we decided to make the jawline appear more defined with Mid-up 2040 lifting, which addresses both sagging under the chin and fullness.


The areas that needed to move inward were marked with fluorescent purple arrows, and the areas that needed to move outward were marked with fluorescent green arrows.
The areas that needed to move inward were marked with fluorescent purple arrows,
and the areas that needed to move outward were marked with fluorescent green arrows.
This is what the patient looked like two weeks after surgery.

The U-shaped face changed to something closer to a V-line.

And as the chin came forward and the lips closed naturally,
the pebble-chin wrinkles that were visible before surgery were no longer noticeable.

The small lower face was improved and lifted,
and the contours became more defined.

The fluorescent green arrow area that needed to move outward did so, and the fluorescent purple arrow area that needed to move inward moved inward, creating a jawline.

The fluorescent green arrow area that needed to move outward did so,
and the fluorescent purple arrow area that needed to move inward moved inward, creating a jawline.
When advancement genioplasty and Mid-up 2040 lifting are combined like this,
they produce a very strong synergistic effect.
