Jawline aging is a complex process. We believe loss of posterior jawline definition and volume depletion is an underappreciated factor in the aging face.

The aim of this study was to describe a novel composite, rotational flap modification of an extended deep-plane rhytidectomy.

We evaluated long-term efficacy on improving jawline contour and volumization of the posterior mandibular region overlying the gonial angle.

We performed a prospective study on patients who underwent our modification of extended deep-plane rhytidectomy.

We define and introduce the mandibular defining line, a new anatomic metric in evaluating the mandibular contour.

We define the area of the posterior lower face overlying the gonion and mandibular angle as the gonial area.

Using 3-dimensional photography, we quantify contour changes along the mandibular border and volume change along the gonial area.
