Jaw Contouring Surgery

In modern society, beauty is not only about smooth skin or captivating eyes, but also about the harmony of every line of the face. Among these, a slim, neat V-line jaw is widely regarded as the ideal aesthetic standard, particularly for women in Asia. This is why jaw contouring surgery is increasingly chosen by people wanting to improve their appearance. At Ethics Aesthetic Clinic, jaw contouring is carried out safely and to medical standards, aiming for optimal results through a professional process and modern technology.

What is jaw contouring?

Jaw contouring is a cosmetic surgical procedure that directly modifies the structure of the lower jawbone to give the face a slimmer, more balanced and softer appearance. The procedure is usually performed through a small incision inside the mouth, after which specialised equipment such as an ultrasonic bone cutter is used to remove excess jawbone in proportions carefully calculated by the doctor. Because the incision is located inside the mouth, jaw contouring leaves no visible scars on the skin and supports maximum aesthetic outcomes after surgery. Jaw contouring surgery is an ideal option for those who experience:

• A square or prominent lower jawbone that makes the face appear heavy and out of proportion.
• Asymmetrical jaws, where the two sides are uneven, affecting the overall appearance of the face.
• A desire for a sharp, soft jawline in a modern style.
• A jawbone that has grown disproportionately large relative to the face.

The jaw contouring surgery process

Jaw contouring is a major surgery involving the bone, so at Ethics the procedure is carried out strictly in a hospital that meets Ministry of Health standards, to ensure the highest possible level of safety and effectiveness:

1. Initial consultation and examination

The client will be examined directly by a specialist doctor, who will perform a clinical assessment and take imaging to evaluate the condition of the jawbone in detail and listen to the client's aesthetic goals. Based on this, the doctor will recommend the solution most suitable for each individual. Pre-surgery examination process for jaw contouring

2. General health check

Ethics carries out pre-operative tests such as X-rays, blood tests, blood pressure checks and cardiovascular screening, to confirm that the client is fit for anaesthesia and surgery.

3. Performing the surgery

• General anaesthesia: Helps the client feel no discomfort during the procedure.
• Making the incision: The doctor makes a small incision inside the mouth and gently separates the tissue down to the jawbone.
• Contouring the jaw: A laser saw or micro-saw is used to remove jawbone in calculated proportions, shaping the new facial contour.
• Closing the incision and post-operative care: The incision is closed with specialised self-dissolving sutures, the inside of the mouth is cleaned thoroughly to help prevent infection, a compression dressing is applied to stabilise the jaw, and once the operation is complete the client is moved to the post-operative recovery room.

Aftercare following jaw contouring surgery

To achieve the best possible results, clients need to follow the doctor's instructions carefully:

• Rest as much as possible, avoid using the jaw heavily, avoid heavy work and do not play sport for the first 3 - 5 days.
• Prioritise liquid and soft foods that are easy to chew, to limit pressure on the wound.
• Clean the wound regularly and correctly, as directed by the doctor.
• Do not touch the wound with your hands or use sharp objects to pry open the wound.
• Do not use stimulants such as alcohol, beer, tobacco, etc. for at least 7 days after surgery.
• If the wound shows any unusual signs, notify the doctor immediately so that it can be addressed early.
