Reduction in Jaw Size
Jaw Size Reduction Process
Jaw reduction surgery is typically done under general anaesthesia and may take several hours to complete depending on the complexity of the procedure.
During the surgery, our aesthetic doctor will make incisions in the mouth or behind the ears and then remove excess bone and soft tissue from the jaw area.
The newly contoured jawline is then secured with screws or plates.
Once the surgery is complete, your jaw will be bandaged and antibiotics will be prescribed to help prevent infection.
Orthognathic surgery
This the most invasive option and involves making incisions in the mouth to reposition the lower jaw.
Mandibular osteotomy
Genioplasty
This is a non-invasive procedure that involves reshaping the chin with liposuction or fat grafting.
Jaw Botox
This is a non-invasive procedure that involves reshaping the chin with liposuction or fat grafting.
Why should you do a Jaw Size Reduction treatment?
Our jaws require more care than we think. The obvious benefits of jaw size reduction treatment include a more defined, chiseled look to the face.
This can help create a younger, fresher appearance, as well as restoring balance to facial features. But little did we know that this treatment also provides health benefits such as:
Can lessen the discomfort resulting from an overbite or various other dental malocclusions when combined with orthodontic (jaw) surgery.
Can reduce tension in the neck, jaw and face muscles, resulting to an improved posture and fewer headaches.
Whatever your goal is, we are here to help you in achieving a successful and safe jaw size reduction treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are several treatments available for reducing jaw size, including facial contouring surgery, facial fillers, and orthodontic treatment.
Facial contouring surgery, also known as jaw reduction surgery or jawline surgery, involves reshaping the jawbone to create a more defined jawline. Facial fillers, such as calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid, can be injected into the jawline to add volume and definition. Orthodontic treatment, such as braces or Invisalign, can also help to reduce the appearance of a large jaw by aligning the teeth and creating a more balanced facial profile.
The treatment for reducing jaw size may not be permanent. Facial contouring surgery can provide long-lasting results, but the effects may vary depending on the individual’s bone structure and skin quality. The effects of facial fillers and orthodontic treatment are generally not permanent and will need to be maintained with follow-up treatments or proper oral hygiene.
