Filler placed directly on the skull
Dr. Emer presses the cannula into the gonial angle and chin, building structure on bone rather than in tissue, which requires precise knowledge of the parotid gland and blood vessel anatomy.

Open on YouTubeWhat Dr. Emer did · MAXORIS
Every procedure. In order.
-
01
Temple volumization MAX-JZ
Radiesse placed all the way back into the hairline, not just near the eye, to eliminate the visible rim of the orbit and lift the brow by supporting the entire temple region.
-
02
Jawline sculpting on bone STRUCTURONICS™
Radiesse placed directly on the gonial angle of the jaw, pressing into the skull to build structure, avoiding the parotid gland and blood vessels.
-
03
Chin projection MAX-JZ
Three to four syringes of Radiesse placed on the chin to match the volume of a chin implant, approximately four to six cc's, then blended in three dimensions to create shape and lift the neck.
-
04
Midface layering with cannula MAX-JZ
Radiesse and Bellafill mixed and placed through the deeper fat pads with a cannula to lift the midface and blend the jawline without bruising, working in tissue rather than only on bone.
“I'm giving him volume in the deeper fat pads with the canula so that it can do this without having a lot of bruising and so we can have a natural look.”
Dr. Emer, in the film -
05
Lower facial triangle and under-eye fat stimulation RECODEX™
Renuva, a synthetic fat stimulator derived from stem cells, placed in the lower facial triangles and under the eyes to build volume over time in areas where he loses fat easily as a runner.
“These stem cells tell your body to produce their own fat. This is something that helps with building your own fat especially for under eyes areas where you lose a lot of fat.”

Why patients fly in
What Dr. Emer does differently.
Temples filled all the way back into the hairline
Most providers fill only the area near the eye. Dr. Emer fills the entire temple region back into the hairline, eliminating the visible rim of the orbit and lifting the brow.
Layered in three dimensions
Structure is built on bone, then blended into tissue through the deeper fat pads so the result reads as one shape, not a series of filled lines.
Long-term regenerative materials
Radiesse mixed with Bellafill, a PMMA filler that stimulates collagen production and lasts five to ten years in studies but twenty years in Dr. Emer's experience, plus Renuva fat stimulator for ongoing volume.
Equal experience with male and female anatomy
Dr. Emer treats men and women in equal numbers, one of the few practices in the country to do so, which means he understands how to masculinize structure rather than feminize it.

Back to the video ↗- 01Before
The starting point
He came back a year after his first session, ready to finish what that visit started.
This patient is fit, consistent, and already saw what Dr. Emer's approach could do. The first session set the foundation. This visit was about finishing the structure: a stronger jawline, more temple volume, and a chin that projects forward instead of receding.
- 02The plan
What Dr. Emer decided to do
Structure first, then refinement: filler placed on bone, then layered into tissue to blend the result in three dimensions.
“So, sometimes doing filler up in the hairline is what's needed. So, I'm showing you guys that here because I'm going to balance one side of his face and his face is really unique.”DR. JASON EMER · FROM THE VIDEO
- 03The session
In the room, in order
Dr. Emer placed Radiesse directly on the gonial angle of the jaw and the chin, pressing the cannula into bone to build the foundation. He then layered tissue with a blend of Radiesse and Bellafill, working through the deeper fat pads to lift the midface and blend the jawline in three dimensions.
- Build the foundation on bone
- Layer tissue with a cannula
- Stimulate fat in key areas
- Let the result settle
- 04The result
What changed
The chin alone took three to four syringes to match the projection of a chin implant. The temples were filled all the way back into the hairline, not just the area near the eye. The final step was a regenerative fat stimulator placed under the eyes and in the lower facial triangles, areas where he loses volume easily because he is a runner.
Immediately after, the face was swollen and the numbing made it hard to talk. Two to three days later, when the swelling went down and the filler settled, the result appeared: a square, masculine face with structure, not softness.
“So right now he's got a lot of numbing in there so it's hard to talk and it's a little swollen but in like a day or two when he sends his selfies I think it took like 3 days last time he loved it.”DR. JASON EMER · FROM THE VIDEO

Structure first, then refinement
The patient in this video came back a year after his first session. He is fit, consistent, and already saw what Dr. Emer's approach could do. This visit was about finishing what the first session started: a stronger jawline, more temple volume, and a chin that projects forward instead of receding.
Dr. Emer calls this treatment MAX-JZ under the MAXORIS™ system: facial sculpting for men built on structure, not softness. Filler is placed directly on bone to create angles, then layered into tissue to blend the result in three dimensions.
What the treatment actually does
Dr. Emer uses Radiesse, a calcium-based filler that matches what bones are made of, to build the foundation: the gonial angle of the jaw, the chin, the temples. Radiesse comes in 1.5cc syringes instead of the usual 1cc, which matters when you need volume to create structure, not just fill a line.
He then layers in tissue with a cannula, working through the deeper fat pads to lift the midface and blend the jawline without a lot of bruising. The chin alone took three to four syringes to match the projection of a chin implant, which holds four to six cc's of volume.
The final step is a regenerative fat stimulator placed under the eyes and in the lower facial triangles, areas where this patient loses volume easily because he is a runner. That material tells the body to produce its own fat over time, so the result does not look puffy as it settles.
How a session is built
Four moves. One session.
Structure first, then refinement: filler placed on bone, then layered into tissue to blend the result in three dimensions.
- 01
Build the foundation on bone
Radiesse is placed directly on the gonial angle of the jaw, the chin, and the temples, pressing into the skull to create structure.
- 02
Layer tissue with a cannula
A blend of Radiesse and Bellafill is placed through the deeper fat pads to lift the midface and blend the jawline, with minimal bruising.
- 03
Stimulate fat in key areas
A regenerative fat stimulator is placed under the eyes and in the lower facial triangles to build volume over time.
- 04
Let the result settle
Swelling goes down over two to three days, and the filler settles into place. The regenerative material continues building volume for weeks.
The treatment, explained
What is male facial sculpting?
Also called jawline filler for men, chin filler, temple filler, facial contouring with filler, non-surgical jaw augmentation, Radiesse jawline, Bellafill facial sculpting, masculine facial structure, square jawline filler.
- What it is
- MAX-JZ is Dr. Emer's signature male facial sculpting approach: filler placed directly on the gonial angle of the jaw, the chin and the temples to build a square, masculine structure, then layered into tissue to blend the result in three dimensions. The treatment uses Radiesse, a calcium-based filler, and Bellafill, a PMMA filler that stimulates collagen production, for long-term results. Renuva, a fat stimulator, is placed in areas where volume is easily lost.
- How it works
- Dr. Emer places filler directly on bone, pressing the cannula into the skull to build the foundation. He then uses a cannula to layer filler through the deeper fat pads, lifting the midface and blending the jawline without bruising. The chin is projected forward with three to four syringes to match the volume of a chin implant. The temples are filled all the way back into the hairline, not just near the eye. Renuva is placed in the lower facial triangles and under the eyes to stimulate fat production over time.
- Who it is for
- Men who want a square, masculine jawline and balanced facial structure without surgery or implants. Men who have volume loss from running, aging or anatomy. Men who want long-term results that read as natural. The treatment is also used for women when the goal is structural support rather than softness.
- Recovery
- Swelling for two to three days, and the jaw may feel sore when chewing because the muscle that controls the jaw connects to the temple. The face is swollen and the numbing makes it hard to talk immediately after the session. The real result appears when the swelling goes down and the filler settles. The regenerative fat stimulator continues building volume for weeks. The specific recovery plan is set at consultation.
- When results show
- The structure is visible immediately after the session, but the final result appears two to three days later when the swelling goes down and the filler settles. Radiesse mixed with Bellafill lasts five to ten years in studies, but Dr. Emer has seen it last twenty years. The Renuva fat stimulator builds volume over time, so the result improves as the body responds. Many patients build in stages over multiple sessions.

EMER METHOD™×RECODEX™
Filler placed directly on bone
Most providers place filler in tissue. Dr. Emer presses the cannula into the skull to build the gonial angle and the jawline, which requires knowing exactly where the parotid gland and blood vessels sit.
Temples filled all the way back
Most providers fill the temple within a finger's width of the eye. Dr. Emer goes all the way back into the hairline, because the temple extends that far. Filling only the front leaves a visible rim of the orbit and makes the face look older.
Layered in three dimensions
Structure is built on bone, then blended into tissue so the result reads as one shape, not a series of filled lines. That takes time, precision, and an understanding of male anatomy.
Long-term materials
Radiesse mixed with Bellafill lasts five to ten years in studies, but Dr. Emer has seen it last twenty. The regenerative fat stimulator builds volume over time, so the result improves as the body responds.
Asked plainly, answered plainly
What men ask before they book.
Is this an implant or surgery?+
No. It is filler placed directly on bone to create structure, then layered into tissue to blend the result. No implant, no surgery, no general anesthesia. The chin alone takes three to four syringes to match the volume of a chin implant.
How fast is the result?+
The structure is visible immediately after the session, but the face is swollen and the numbing makes it hard to talk. The real result appears two to three days later when the swelling goes down and the filler settles.
What is the downtime?+
Swelling for two to three days, and the jaw may feel sore when chewing because the muscle that controls the jaw connects to the temple. That soreness fades quickly. The patient in this video was back to normal activity within days.
How long does it last?+
Radiesse mixed with Bellafill lasts five to ten years in studies, but Dr. Emer has seen it last twenty years. The Renuva fat stimulator builds volume over time, so the result improves as the body responds. Many patients build in stages over multiple sessions.
Do I need more than one session?+
Many patients build in stages. The patient in this video is on his second session, layered on a year of results from the first. The number of sessions depends on your anatomy, your goals, and how much structure you want to build.
Why does the temple need to be filled all the way back?+
The temple extends all the way back into the hairline. Filling only the area near the eye leaves a visible rim of the orbit and makes the face look older. Dr. Emer fills the entire temple region to eliminate that rim and lift the brow.
What is the difference between this and a chin implant?+
A chin implant has roughly four to six cc's of volume. Dr. Emer uses three to four syringes of filler to match that volume, then blends it in three dimensions to create shape and lift the neck. The result is the same projection without surgery.
Why does Dr. Emer use Radiesse and Bellafill together?+
Radiesse is a calcium-based filler that builds structure on bone. Bellafill is a PMMA filler that stimulates collagen production and lasts five to ten years in studies, but twenty years in Dr. Emer's experience. Together, they create long-term structure and regeneration.
