Can I Get Custom Cheek and Jawline Implants To Get A Model’s Face?

Q: Dr. Eppley, big fan of your work. Im looking to get custom jaw and cheek implants, and was looking to replicate this jaw/cheek structure from this male model. Have you designed one that closely resembles his features before? Same cheekbones and that same type of sharp jaw angle.

I’ve seen many custom cheek and jaw implant designs before but curious to see which one directly resembles this model’s approximate structure.

Here is my most recent CT scan, i have standard jaw implants and a chin implant

Im going to get a sliding genioplasty, but in terms of jaw and cheek implant design, i was wondering if doctor Eppley designed ones closest to the model before?

A: You have a completely inaccurate concept of how custom facial implants are designed. No one knows the skeletal shape of these model faces or what implant designs can come close to creating them. The only way to know with any accuracy is to take a 3D CT scan of their face and overlay it on a 3D CT scan of your face to show the bone shape differences. Short of that method custom implant designing is a best guess estimate….and even this assumes you have the right soft tissue thicknesses where such implants can show through enough for their full effect to be seen.
