“…There are both surgical and nonsurgical options for reshaping the jawline. Noninvasive techniques that address rejuvenation of the mid and lower face have been developed from the MD codes, namely, the 7-point and 9-point Shape, which address the cheek, chin, jawline, lips, and nasolabial folds 42 . The MD codes represent anatomic locations that are often targeted in facial rejuvenation and facial gender–affirming procedures.…”

The 7-point Shape technique is used to feminize a face, focusing on lifting the cheeks, creating a rounder cheek contour, reducing the skin and soft tissue laxity along the jawline, and increasing the projection of the chin.…”

Background: The jawline greatly influences facial shape and contributes to facial dimorphism. Analysis of lower facial shape and sexual dimorphic differences in contemporary attractive white faces can advance the goals of lower facial aesthetics and facial gender–affirming surgery (FGAS). Methods: Full-face, front-view photos of 47 white female and 21 white male celebrities were included from a list generated using GQ magazine’s Highest Paid Models issue, People Magazine’s Beautiful issue (1991–2022), and celebrities featured on lifestyle websites. Facial landmarks were detected through a facial analysis program using Vision framework and MATLAB. After converting pixel distances to absolute distances, lower face measurements were compared between males and females. Results: The mean lower facial height was 6.08 cm in females and 7.00 cm in males (P value<0.001). The mean bigonial width was 11.21 cm in females and 12.30 cm in males (P value<0.001). The ratio of facial height to lower facial height was 2.98 in females and 2.76 in males (P value<0.001), signifying that symmetry in facial thirds is more prevalent in attractive female faces, while a longer lower face is more common in attractive male faces. The greatest differences in female and male facial contours were at gonial angles and chin. Conclusions: Analysis of contemporary white celebrity faces demonstrated significantly wider and longer lower facial measurements in males. The overall contour of the female lower face was more tapered at the gonial angles and chin compared to males. These results are important when planning lower facial rejuvenation or FGAS, as lower face size and proportions influence perceived gender and attractiveness.

Many surgical techniques have been proposed to address the submental–cervical angle in neck lift. Despite the several advances, obstacles persist when dealing with platysma bands and redefinition of the obtuse cervical angle. The aim of this study was to quantify platysma bands recurrence, any neurovascular damage, and other complications following neck lift procedures involving platysma muscle. After the approval and registration on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), the systematic review was performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A series of specific keywords and predefined MeSH terms were utilized in different search engines (Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane library databases). Primary outcome was the recurrence of platysma bands; secondary outcomes included any postoperative complications, including any nerve damage. Pooled analysis was performed using a random effects model. Twelve articles, encompassing 2,106 patients, were relevant to this issue and included data on neck lift surgery with any platysma transection outcomes. Twenty-six patients had a recurrence of platysma bands during the follow-up, with a pooled rate of 1.4%. The pooled overall nerve damage rate was 0.9%. At the reported follow-up, the pooled hematoma percentage was 1.8%, and the pooled sialoma rate was 0.3%. Even less common complications were long-lasting edema, dehiscence of the submental suspension, and skin necrosis. Cervicomental angle redefinition remains a controversial and complicated procedure, which can be approached with different maneuvers. However, more long-term outcome reports as well as standardized complication outcomes are warranted in order to compare different and new techniques. Level of Evidence III
