Jaw Contouring Surgery (Mandible Reduction)
“What Is Jaw Reduction (Mandible Reduction)?”
Jaw reduction surgery slims a wide or square jawline by reshaping the jawbone, creating a more defined and balanced V-line facial contour. Unlike temporary treatments, this procedure provides a permanent change by directly contouring the bone structure. At VIP Plastic Surgery, jaw reduction is performed together with chin contouring to create a more harmonious and natural V-line, rather than reducing only the jaw angle.
In a conventional jaw reduction procedure, only the mandibular angle is reduced, leaving the chin shape largely unchanged. While this approach can soften prominent jaw angles, it may not deliver transformative results for patients with a wide or square chin who desire an overall slimmer facial silhouette.
VIP jaw reduction addresses this limitation by refining the chin area alongside the mandibular angle. By simultaneously contouring the chin and reducing the jaw angle, this comprehensive approach creates a balanced V-line oval face. Additionally, chin surgery can also be combined at the same time to create a naturally sleek v-line contour.
