Most of us have seen someone with facial plastic surgery and assumed that it must be a pretty drastic procedure. After all, how can you go from looking normal to looking like a model or actor in just a few simple steps? Shockingly, jaw reduction surgery is one of the most common types of plastic surgery and it can be done on either the male or female face. In this blog post, we will explore some of the best facial plastic surgeon options for jaw reduction surgery and why you should consider it if you’re considering other cosmetic procedures.

Types of Jaw Reduction Surgery

There are a few different types of Jaw reduction treatment. The most common is a single-jaw surgery, which is when the surgeon removes half of the lower jawbone. This type of surgery usually results in a more natural appearance because it restores more of the natural facial features.  A two-jaw surgery is when the surgeon removes both the lower jawbone and the upper jawbone. This type of surgery usually results in a more dramatic appearance because it removes more of the excess skin and bone that can give an artificial look to your face.  A third option is a partial Jaw Reduction Surgery (PJRS), which is when only part of the lower jawbone or both jaws are removed. PJRSs provide similar cosmetic results as two-jaw surgeries, but they are often less expensive and easier to undergo due to their reduced complexity.

How Jaw Reduction Surgery Works

Jaw reduction surgery is a procedure that helps to reduce the size of the jaw by removing excess bone and tissue. This can result in a more beautiful and symmetrical chin, as well as improved speech and chewing abilities. There are a number of different jaw reduction surgery options available, depending on your specific needs. Some surgeons use traditional surgical techniques while others use minimally invasive methods such as lasers or cutting devices. Regardless of the technique used, Jaw Reduction Surgery typically involves three stages: preparation, surgery, and post-operative care. In the preparation stage, your surgeon will map out your exact jaw structure and determine how much bone and tissue needs to be removed. This will help ensure that you achieve the best results possible during surgery.

During surgery, your surgeon will make precise cuts into the jawbone and remove the excess tissue and bone. Recovery time following Jaw Reduction Surgery is typically brief – most patients are able to resume their normal activities within a few days. However, you may experience mild discomfort for a few weeks following surgery. If you experience any significant issues with speech or swallowing after surgery, please contact your doctor immediately.
