Quick Facts About Jaw Contouring

Procedure Length

Typically 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

Hospital Stay

Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days, though this may vary based on individual recovery needs.

Visible Results

Initial changes are often noticeable right away, with continued improvement observed over 6-12 months as swelling subsides.

Complete Recovery

Full recovery usually takes 4-6 weeks, but individual recovery times may vary.

Jaw Contouring in Detail

Jaw contouring is a transformative procedure designed to refine and reshape the jawline, creating a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. Whether your goal is to feminise, or simply enhance the natural contours of your jaw, this surgery can significantly improve your overall facial aesthetics and confidence.

How Does Jaw Contouring Work?

Bone Reduction

Excess bone along the jawline is carefully sculpted to achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance. This is often desired in facial feminisation procedures.

Bone Augmentation

For those seeking a more prominent jawline, implants or bone grafts can be used to enhance the jaw's structure, typically in facial masculinisation surgeries.

Soft Tissue Adjustment

In some cases, soft tissues around the jaw are adjusted to ensure a smooth, natural contour and prevent sagging.

    Jaw Contouring Procedure Explained

    Jaw contouring reshapes and sculpts the jawline to create a more defined facial profile. This procedure can involve reducing, augmenting, or reshaping the jawbone for a customised result.
    This will last around 90 minutes and include a short form filling exercise for your previous and current ocular and health conditions.
    Whilst the consultation is free most of our patients proceed to have a vested interest in proceeding with treatment and many report to have life changing outcomes.
    Jaw contouring surgery begins with a detailed consultation and preoperative instructions. Performed under general anaesthesia, the procedure involves making discreet incisions to access and reshape the jawbone, creating the desired contour. After surgery, you’ll be monitored in recovery and may stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. Follow-up care includes specific guidelines to ensure proper healing and regular check-ups to monitor your progress.
