Facial contouring

Square jaw reduction surgery

VIEW's square jaw reduction slims a wide, angular jawline through a single incision line from the chin angle to below the ear, taking about 1 hour of surgery. The team removes only as much bone as necessary to keep the jawline smooth without sagging.

Start with liquid food and avoid hard biting until jaw function returns to normal
Follow-up CT and X-ray checks scheduled within 1-6 months

Risks & things to consider

Bleeding or inflammation are possible post-surgical complications
The chewing muscle may enlarge again in some cases, correctable with botulinum toxin

Frequently asked questions

Will the removed jaw bone grow back?

If the jaw is cut correctly the bone will not regrow, though the masseter muscle can enlarge again in some cases, which is treatable with botulinum toxin.

Can I eat and drink right after jaw surgery?

Chewing is difficult initially, so stick to soft food like porridge; once jaw function normalises you can return to regular meals.

How long does jaw reduction surgery take?

The operation takes about 1 hour under general anaesthesia, with 1 day of initial rest followed by suture removal and follow-up over the next 2 weeks.
