All about Jaw Surgery!

What is Jaw Surgery?

Also known as mandible reduction, Jaw surgery is an operation that involves shaving the jaw bone to achieve a slimmer and more defined facial line. It is especially popular in Asia, as a slimmer and smaller face is in popular demand as they view it as a more feminine look.

Who is a good candidate?

Patients who are in good health and would like to reduce the protrusion of their jawline are candidates for a jaw reduction procedure. While jaw reduction is most commonly performed on patients of Asian descent, any person of any race, sex, or ethnicity can undergo this procedure.

Surgery Information 

How to prepare for the surgery

Before undergoing a jaw reduction surgery, you will need to follow some steps in order to ensure that you get the best results possible with minimum side effects.

• Stop consumption of certain medicines which are particularly anti-inflammatory such as aspirin, ibuprofen etc. These result in the thinning of the blood, thereby preventing the clotting of the blood post-surgery.
• Stop smoking as it greatly interferes with the healing process of the body. It also results in death of tissue, around the incision area. You will be asked to discontinue smoking ten to fifteen days prior to surgery.
• You will also be advised to fast a certain amount of hours prior to surgery(8-10 hours)

After care tips for Jaw surgery

• Maintain a soft food diet for the first seven to ten days after surgery
• Sanitize your mouth regularly with mouthwash
• To prevent swelling, keep your head elevated
• Avoid smoking and drinking until you have completely recovered
• Take care while washing your face and hair and make sure you don’t cause any trauma to your mouth or jaw area.
• Don’t miss the routine follow-up checkups scheduled by your surgeon
