Jaw Reduction

Jaw Reduction at WANSIRI HOSPITAL is a facial contouring surgery designed for patients with large, wide, or square jawbones that may make the face appear less balanced. The procedure helps reshape the jawline to create a slimmer, softer, and more proportional facial appearance while enhancing confidence from every angle.

At WANSIRI HOSPITAL, Jaw Reduction is performed by experienced jawline surgery specialists with careful surgical planning, as the jaw area contains important nerves. The hospital uses Computerized Tomography (CT) scans to create detailed three-dimensional images of the facial and bone structure, along with modern imaging technology that allows patients to preview the expected results before surgery.

The surgery is performed through an incision inside the mouth, usually around the gum area behind the last molar tooth. The surgeon then uses medical instruments to reduce excess jawbone and reshape the jawline. Because the incision is hidden inside the mouth, there is no visible external scar, and absorbable sutures are used, so stitch removal is not required.

The procedure is performed in standardized operating rooms with international-standard medical equipment, supported by a specialist surgeon and anesthesiologist. Operation time is approximately 3–4 hours under anesthesia, with an overnight hospital stay of around 1 night. The recovery period is generally 7–10 days, while swelling usually improves within 1–2 weeks. The facial shape gradually settles and becomes more natural within 3–6 months.

Postoperative care includes sleeping with the head elevated, using cold compresses during the first few days, wearing a compression garment as advised, eating soft food, maintaining oral hygiene, and avoiding heavy exercise during the early recovery period. Follow-up appointments are recommended at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery.
