Jaw reduction (mandibular angle reduction) reduces the prominence of a square or angular jaw, creating a softer, more tapered face shape associated with a feminine facial contour.
Jaw angle reduction reduces the bony prominence of the mandibular angles — the square corners of the jaw — to create a softer, more oval face shape. This is achieved through an intraoral approach (inside the mouth) with no external incisions.
The procedure reshapes or removes the lateral flare of the jaw angle bone, transitioning the lower face from a square to a more tapered, oval contour.
It is commonly combined with chin reshaping and other FFS procedures for comprehensive lower face feminization.
Dr. Chung uses surgical bone-shaping techniques to define the jawline — one of the most transformative facial surgery procedures.
Reduces a prominent, wide jaw angle for a softer, more oval or V-shaped facial contour — common in facial feminization.
Augments or defines a flat or undefined jaw angle for a stronger, more structured appearance.
Creates a slimmer, more tapered lower face by reducing jaw width from the front view.
Corrects left-right jaw asymmetry for a more balanced, symmetrical facial appearance.
All incisions are placed entirely inside the mouth — zero visible external scars.
Often combined with chin reshaping, cheek implants or facial feminization for complete facial transformation.
Dr. Chung and his team accompany you throughout your entire recovery to ensure the best possible results.
No. The procedure is performed entirely through incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible external scars.
This depends on the original bone structure. Dr. Chung evaluates imaging (CT or panoramic X-ray) to determine the degree of reshaping possible for your anatomy.
Discomfort is expected for the first 5–7 days, managed with medication. A soft diet is recommended for 2 weeks. Most patients return to work within 7–14 days.
Yes. Masseter Botox can complement bony jaw reduction by reducing the muscle bulk — the combination produces a more complete jaw-slimming result.
Permanent. The bone that is removed does not regenerate.
