Square jaw reduction surgery<\/span><\/a> (part of <\/span>V-line surgery<\/span><\/a>), also known as mandibuloplasty or mandible reduction, is a procedure where a plastic surgeon permanently changes the shape of the lower jaw. This surgery is usually done to create a smaller jaw shape, a more curved jaw, and a smoother jawline. Because this surgery is done on the lower portion of the face, there are a lot of nerve endings and blood vessels in that area. Only an expert surgeon with vast experience should perform this procedure. The clinic that hosts this procedure must also have advanced medical and safety equipment that is not common in all clinics. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

What the mandible jaw reduction entails differs from person to person and is predicated on their needs and wants. Some people want only their jaw to be done, whereas others could also be looking for <\/span>chin reduction<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The goal of \u201cV-line surgery\u201d or \u201cV-lining\u201d is to make a face slimmer and create a balanced V-line. The amount of reduction you can get is determined by your wants and what is safely possible. It can be determined with a CT scan and computer analysis at the clinic. A V-shaped or smoother jawline can make a person look slimmer, younger, more symmetrical, and provide a softer look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are two types of cuts that can be done when undergoing mandible jaw reduction. The first is called the shortcut, which goes from the back of the jaw bone to the middle of the jaw bone. The surgeon makes an incision from the inside of the mouth, designs on the bone, and then creates a diagonal cut and removes the measured amount needed with a handheld cutting tool. The jaw can then be smoothed out and shaped if needed.\u00a0 No pins or plates are required. The doctor then sutures the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The other kind of cut is called the Long Cut. This goes from the back of the jaw bone to the front of the chin. It allows for the chin to be reduced on the sides and shaped.\u00a0 Patients who get this kind of cut usually have an unbalanced, broad look to their chin that does not match the rest of their face and will not match the new look they are going for. Sutures will close the incision area once the excess bone material is removed and smoothed. No plates or screws are needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With both kinds of cuts, the skin and muscle must be pulled up and reattached to a better position. Because you will have less bone structure, there will be excess sagging if this is not done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Now that we explained the procedure in general, let\u2019s move on to what you can expect during your visit to the clinic. Keep in mind that this is a description of the process in general, but it can vary from patient to patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Your Surgery Day<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The plastic surgeon will or would have already personally look(ed) at your bone structure and nerve endings using x-rays, CT-scan, and digital imaging scans. Their analysis will determine the maximum amount of bone that can be removed. You can then adjust that amount to your needs and wants.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You will go through detailed paperwork explaining your procedure(s) and sign a series of documents that explain everything about the process.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Once you are ready and have gone to the washroom one last time before surgery, you will be taken to the surgical floor and prepared for surgery.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. This procedure requires general anesthesia, and thus you will have an anesthesiologist administering your anesthesia and monitoring you the entire time. You will fall asleep, and the surgery will begin. Because you are asleep, you will feel no pain during the procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. You will be woken up from the anesthesia and moved to a recovery room. You will usually stay there overnight, being monitored by nurses. This procedure is typically an inpatient one. We highly recommend staying overnight in the clinic for one night after the procedure.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The next morning, the surgeon will come and check your condition and sign the papers for your discharge. You can then leave the clinic with the help of the SGM staff and go to your accommodations.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. You will need to come back to the clinic for regular checkups. We recommend staying in Seoul for a minimum of 14 days after this procedure and, if possible, 21 days. Please note: You may have a drain placed, which helps to gather excess blood. This is usually attached for 2-4 days, depending on your case.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Most patients do not get mandible jaw reduction alone. Most patients combining it with other V-line procedures to maximize their own symmetry. Common procedures done with square jaw reduction are buccal fat from the cheeks, <\/span>zygoma reduction surgery<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>rhinoplasty<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>facial fat grafting<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>double chin liposuction<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>thread lifting<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
