This woman had a face lift operation and a chemical peel of the skin around
her mouth. But she also had another procedure, called a pre-jowl
implant. The jowl makes a bulge in the jaw line, and there usually
appears to be a dent just in front of the jowl. The face lift pulls
the jowl's excess skin up and back toward the ear to smooth the jaw line, but
the smoothing can be more effective if we put something underneath the skin to
push out that dent at the same time.
That something is called a pre-jowl implant, and as the name suggests, it
fills out the depression in front of the jowl. The implant looks very much
like a chin implant, but it is shaped so that it doesn't make the chin stronger
from the profile view. The face lift surgery tutorial contains a chapter
devoted to the topic of pre-jowl implants (the surgery tutorials contain explicit photographs taken during surgery).

Questioner:
I am wanting Rhinoplasty as I hate the length of my nose and my wide bridge too! Any suggestions?
Is there anyway I can find out what would nose would suit my face etc - like having a video image first!?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Your nose is strong in its forward projection
Image? Sure. Check out the Web reference link below. I made a morph of your profile.
I brought the tip of your nose substantially closer to your face, and elevated the tip, too: when the nose comes back closer to the face, it usually *looks* longer, and you have to raise the tip so it doesn't look too long after surgery.
Note, also, that I reduced your nose up where it begins, just beneath your eyebrows. It's important to address that area, so you don't look like a Roman statue after surgery.
These changes are all fairly predictable to accomplish, but only in truly expert hands. Be sure you see lots of a doctor's before and after photos before hiring someone to do your rhinoplasty.
