“Will the edge of a jaw-angle implant show through the muscle, and what happens if it does?” — a fair question to put to any practice before a custom jawline implant. Men who already have jaw implants call it dehiscence: the back edge of the implant working free of the chewing muscle so it can be seen or felt. It is more likely with a wide, sharply angled implant in a lean face, so the right time to deal with it is in the design, not after. At Troell Cosmetic Surgery on South Fort Apache Road, Dr. Robert J. Troell, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, sets the width and the taper of that edge in the design sessions on the patient’s own CT scan and reviews it with him from the front as well as in profile before the implant is made. He teaches custom implant design, placement and complications management to other surgeons at Implantech’s hands-on cadaver workshops, and he examines his own patients at every follow-up visit.
