The surgical Procedure

There are several jaw reduction techniques available—both surgical and non-surgical.

Ideally prior to selection of a treatment, you will examined to determine whether the cause is due to the bone, the masseter or both. Additionally, if a treatable cause is present it should be identified.

Jaw contouring surgical techniques are used to directly reduce the size of an enlarged mandible. Incision can be to the inside or outside of the mouth, though the internal incision is the most common because it leaves no visible scar

Non-surgical techniques are essentially limited to cases in which the masseter is enlarged. A convenient method to treat an enlarged muscle is through the use of Botox injections.  Botox is injected into the enlarged muscle, weakening it so it slowly becomes smaller through atrophy over several months.

 

Post – operative Recovery – Jaw Contouring surgery

After Jaw Contouring surgery, some numbness and temporary discomfort may persist around the incision for several days, but this can be controlled with pain medication. The bruising and swelling that does occur will usually subside considerably in the first week. Bandages will come off a day or two after Jaw Contouring surgery. Stitches from the surgery are removed during the 5 -7 days, though this varies from patient to patient.

Normal work can be resumed 7-10 days after a Jaw Contouring procedure. You should be able to shower and wash your hair a few days after the bandages come off. However, vigorous activity should be limited for several weeks, including jogging, bending, sex, or any activity that increases your blood pressure.

Most of the visible signs of Jaw Contouring surgery should disappear within a few weeks, and minor swelling and bruising can usually be hidden. Do not worry if you feel a bit tired and let down at first, as your body heals itself and you begin to look better, you will feel better as well. Patients are usually very satisfied with their new look once their surgery site has completely healed. Patients often do not realize just how much their reduction contributed to an older appearance until they see their new, refreshed look.

 

Treatment after surgery during the first 7 days of Jaw Contouring:

- Removing Incisions within 5-7 days after surgery.

- No heavy exercise 2 weeks after surgery

- Swelling and bruising can be minimized by keeping the head elevated as much as possible during the first few weeks of recovery
