A well-defined jawline is a key aspect of a balanced and attractive facial appearance. Whether you're looking to address an overbite, double chin, or simply enhance your jawline's contours, Dr. Sanovich can help.
Understanding Jawline Concerns
Jawline issues can arise from various factors, including genetics, aging, and lifestyle. Common concerns include:
- Double Chin - A double chin occurs due to excess fat under the chin, which can blur the distinction between the neck and jawline. This condition can be influenced by weight gain, aging, or genetics, making the face appear rounder and less defined.
- Weak Jawline - Genetics and aging can cause a jawline to lack definition or projection. This can cause the patient to appear as though they have a softer facial profile and it can change the overall balance of a patient's facial features.
- Overbite- An overbite is a dental issue where the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth. This can alter the appearance of the jawline and may require correction to achieve a balanced facial profile.
At Dallas Surgical Arts, we offer several treatments to enhance and define your jawline:
- Chin Augmentation - Chin augmentation involves the surgical enhancement of the chin to create a well defined profile. This procedure can involve the use of implants or the repositioning of the bone to achieve the desired shape and projection.
- Liposuction - Liposuction removes submental (under the chin) fat, giving a patient improved jawline definition. This popular procedure is designed to contour the area, providing a more balanced look.
- Orthognathic Surgery - Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw alignment issues such as overbites or underbites. This surgical approach not only improves the jawline but also enhances overall facial balance and function.
Non-Surgical and Surgical Treatments
Non-surgical options, like dermal fillers, add volume and shape to the jawline. Non-surgical treatments like liposuction or fillers are minimally invasive and have the bonus of a shorter recovery process. These options are ideal for individuals seeking subtle enhancements without the commitment of surgery.
For those considering surgical options like chin augmentation or orthognathic surgery, the procedures are performed under anesthesia and involve precise adjustments to the jaw and chin. These procedures are designed to create lasting changes that significantly enhance facial appearance.
Dr. Sanovich will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your jawline and discuss your goals. Based on this evaluation, he will recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs.
Recovery and Results
Recovery times vary depending on the chosen treatment. Surgical procedures may require a few weeks for full recovery, during which patients will need to follow specific post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Patients undergoing chin augmentation or orthognathic surgery can expect some swelling and discomfort initially. It is important to follow Dr. Sanovich's aftercare instructions closely to facilitate healing and achieve the best results.
Non-surgical options like liposuction or dermal fillers typically involve minimal downtime. Patients can usually resume normal activities within a few days, with full results becoming apparent as any initial swelling subsides.

Getting surgery of any sort is never an easy decision but with DSA you are in the best hands. Dr. Sanovich's bedside manner is top notch. The aesthetic side is a bonus.

Annette’s Transformation
Annette, a recent patient, shared,
"My dentist referred me to Dr. Sanovich for ongoing TMJ-related jaw problems. After more than 10 years of pain and discomfort, 5 dental devices that didn't help and sometimes worsened the condition, I had given up hope. I could only open my mouth slightly and was in nearly constant pain. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Sanovich, and was able to get in quickly. Dr. Sanovich immediately restored hope that I could feel better. He explained what the issue was in language that I could understand, listened to my description of symptoms, answered my many questions and was very empathetic."
