Jawbone Reduction

Unfortunately, not everyone has a natural appearance which matches their inner spirit and vigor. The jawbone is often a problem area of the face that many patients feel self-conscious about. Dr. Edmund Kwan is a plastic surgeon who can help patients by providing services such as a jawbone reduction procedure.

The reasons for a widened face are thick and wide jawbones or thick and bulky muscle. Patients with the appearance of a wide face can experience a negative effect on their self-esteem, and many patients may use their hair to hide the lower portion of their face. Patients can avoid hiding their jaw line with the help of Dr. Kwan's extensive experience, academic competence and of course his artistic eye. The aim of Dr. Kwan's jawbone reduction procedure is to reduce the size of the jaw line. The first step is to file down the bone and then remove a part of the muscle. Patients do not have to worry about reduced function. This reduction will only reduce the fullness and will not affect the function. New York City patients will enjoy the benefits of the final results, which can provide a softer angle and a smoother, more oval-shaped jaw line.
Dr. Kwan also provides his patients with Botox. Botox is made of botulinum toxin type A, which is completely safe for cosmetic injections. It is FDA approved for many medical and cosmetic treatments, and can be used as a short-term solution to an invasive jawbone reduction. Botox is injected into the muscles of the jaw to lessen its negative appearance. The results last for approximately six months.
