Facial bone reduction surgery is a specialized procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of prominent facial bones to create a more balanced, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Commonly performed on areas like the cheekbones, jawline, and chin, this surgery is ideal for those seeking a more refined or slender facial contour.
Whether you're looking to soften a strong jaw, narrow wide cheekbones, or achieve a more V-line facial shape, facial bone contouring offers dramatic and permanent results.
Facial bone reduction surgery involves carefully sculpting and reshaping parts of the facial skeleton, such as the zygoma (cheekbones), mandible (jaw), or chin, to achieve more proportionate and harmonious features.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and incisions are typically made inside the mouth or along the hairline to minimize visible scarring. Advanced surgical techniques are used to ensure both aesthetic improvement and functional safety.
You may be a good candidate for facial bone reduction surgery if you:
This procedure is suitable for both men and women who want to make lasting changes to their facial structure.
Facial bone reduction is performed under general anesthesia and can take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the areas treated.
Incisions are typically made inside the mouth or hairline to avoid visible scars. Bones are carefully reshaped using precision surgical tools, and stitches are used to close incisions. In some cases, plates or screws may be used for stability.
You will be monitored post-surgery and usually stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 nights for recovery and observation.
Recovery time varies, but most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for 1 to 2 weeks. A soft diet is often recommended during the initial healing phase.
Swelling can take several weeks to fully resolve, and final results may be visible after 2 to 3 months. Most people return to work or normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the extent of surgery.
Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions is essential for optimal healing and long-term results.
If you’re seeking a permanent and transformative way to reshape your facial profile, facial bone reduction surgery offers dramatic, lasting results tailored to your features and goals.
