Ideal Candidates
If you have a square jaw that you want to be less wide, a V line jaw contouring surgery may be recommended for you. If you want permanent results and are willing to undergo a surgical procedure, a jaw reduction may be the best option for you. Since this is major surgery, you need to be in good overall health and a non-smoker.
Your Consultation
A physical examination of your chin and jaw will be performed during your initial consultation at Cosmetic Surgery Beverly Hills. Additionally, laboratory tests may be conducted.
You will need to discuss your medical history with Dr. Jumaily, including underlying conditions and current medications. A surgical plan will be developed for your jaw reduction.
If you smoke or drink alcohol, you will be advised to stop two weeks before your procedure. You may also be asked to stop taking blood-thinning medications.
The Jaw Reduction Procedure
Dr. Jumaily performs this procedure very often and without any external incisions. The jaw bone is shaped through small incisions inside the mouth and, therefore, leaves no incisions on the skin and no scarring. There is some initial swelling which resolves and results in a natural and softer appearance. This is a great procedure for patients who have larger jaws and wish to have a softer and more gentle jaw outline.
