This clinic-supplied before-and-after composite focuses on the relationship between the chin, jawline and upper neck in side profile.
Case focus
Lower-face assessment considers chin projection, mandibular outline, soft-tissue thickness, facial thirds and the transition from the jaw to the neck. These elements are evaluated together because changing one area can alter the apparent balance of the entire profile.
Result shown
The after image presents a more defined visible lower-face outline and a clearer chin-to-neck transition. Differences in facial hair, head position, lighting and expression should always be considered when interpreting photographs.
Planning principles
The appropriate approach can only be selected after reviewing facial anatomy, bite, skeletal relationships, medical history, previous treatment and the patient’s priorities. The supplied image does not identify the product, dose, technique, number of sessions or interval between photographs, so those details are intentionally not claimed.
