At Dr. Edmund Kwan’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, patients can address facial and body imperfections using modern medicine and plastic surgery techniques. Under the care and attention of a board-certified plastic surgeon, patients visiting our office can ask about procedures like jawline reduction surgery.
What is jaw reduction surgery?
Jaw reduction surgery, called V-line surgery or mandibular reduction, is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim down and reshape the jawline for a more contoured and balanced look. It can be performed on both men and women and can assist with contouring the jawline to make it more pronounced and less rounded or obscured.
Who is a good candidate for jaw reduction surgery?
Any man or woman who feels their jawline is too wide, square, or prominent and wants a softer, more refined look could be an ideal candidate for mandibular reduction. Of course, you should have good overall health and realistic expectations of the final results.
How does the procedure work?
Dr. Kwan carefully trims and refines the jaw bone, as the jaw muscle is reduced to achieve the preferred shape. The process often includes making small, almost invisible incisions inside the mouth so you won’t see visible scars that could cause self-consciousness or reveal signs that you’ve gone and had surgery.
Real Patients, Real Results Before and After Done By Dr. Kwan
Is the recovery process painful?
While some swelling and discomfort are normal following this treatment, pain is typically managed easily with medication, and you will feel significantly better after a couple of weeks. Plus, consider it a great excuse to binge your favorite shows while you rest up and heal!
Are the results permanent?
Yes! Once the jawbone is reshaped, the changes are permanent. Of course, maintaining a consistent weight and a healthy lifestyle will help you enjoy your new look for years to come and will not negate the work that has been done.
Will my face look natural after surgery?
Absolutely! Our skilled surgeon aims to enhance your natural beauty, not create an artificial appearance. Your friends may notice you look different, but they won’t know you have done your work unless you tell them!
