Jaw Implants in Thailand - Precision Jaw Enhancement Surgery

Jaw implants are typically placed through incisions inside the mouth, positioned along the natural crease of the jawline. This approach specifically targets the lower half of the face, enhancing the jawline for a more defined and balanced facial profile.

The incisions are carefully closed using absorbable sutures (dissolving stitches) or stitches that are removed within one week after surgery, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal healing.

Surgical Options at Preecha Aesthetic Institute:

  • Local Anesthesia (Day Surgery): Performed directly at Preecha Aesthetic Institute for a safe, convenient outpatient procedure.

Surgical Options at Hospital Affiliates:

  • General Anesthesia: Performed in an international-standard, JCI-accredited hospital, requiring a one-night stay for enhanced safety and comfort.

Recovery After Jaw Augmentation in Thailand

After jaw augmentation, mild soreness and discomfort are common but can be easily managed with prescribed medication. Your surgeon may recommend a soft or liquid diet for the first day or two to ensure comfort and proper healing.

Most patients are up and moving on the same day as surgery and can typically return to work and normal daily activities within two to four week. This quick recovery makes jaw augmentation a convenient and effective option for enhancing the lower face.
