Jaw Reduction Surgery – Soften a Square Face Shape

Introduction
A strong jawline can be attractive, but for some, a square or overly prominent jaw can affect facial harmony. Jaw reduction surgery, also known as mandibular contouring, reshapes the jawline to achieve a softer, balanced profile. At Luxor Hospital, Vadodara, we specialize in advanced jaw contouring techniques that ensure natural results and patient safety.

What is Jaw Reduction Surgery?
Jaw reduction surgery involves reshaping the lower jawbone, muscles, or both to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. It can soften sharp angles, reduce facial width, and balance proportions.

Techniques Used

  • Bone Contouring: Reshapes the jawbone to reduce width or prominence.

  • Botulinum Toxin (Non-Surgical Option): Temporarily reduces masseter muscle size for a softer jawline.

  • Combination Approach: Bone reshaping with selective muscle reduction for optimal results.

  • Patients seeking better facial symmetry and proportions

  • Those dissatisfied with non-surgical contouring methods
