What you need to know about Jaw Shaping in Johannesburg

Also known as Mandibular Angle Reduction, V Line Surgery or Jawline Surgery, Jaw Shaping Surgery is performed with the purpose of narrowing the lower part of the face, with particular emphasis on the mandible (lower jaw) and the muscular attachments. 

A wide jaw angle can be caused by enlarged muscle, bone, or a combination of the two. A prominent jaw angle or square jaw is considered a masculine trait, particularly in Asian countries. Therefore, many people opt for surgical correction to get their desired look. The surgery can shorten an overly long jaw and change a square-shaped face to an oval shape. Some people with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, uneven jaws, or jaws that causes pain when chewing might also undergo this surgery to correct pain.

There are several critical elements involved in the surgery, including the angles of the jaw, the body of the mandible, and the shape of the chin. While the procedure is typically performed on women with a square jawline who want a more feminine look, it can be done on both men and women. However, this procedure may not work for people who want to feminize a male’s face since males usually have a taller and longer face. Therefore, a V Line Surgery would only make a face look more elongated.

What's the Recovery Time for Jaw Shaping Procedures in Johannesburg?

Immediately after the surgery, you will need to wear a facial mask that presses tightly against the skin around the jaw to keep the post-surgery swelling down. Also, you will not be allowed to eat foods that require chewing because it will delay the recovery and can cause bleeding. If you undergo the intraoral approach, your food intake will be limited for a considerable length of time. You may feel some swelling, numbness, and discomfort around the incision for several days, but the surgeon will prescribe medications to help with the pain. 

The recovery period can be different for each individual; some people may be able to go back to their regular routines after seven to ten days, but others may need more time to fully recover. Avoid doing any vigorous activity that increases your blood pressure for several weeks, such as jogging and other exercises. Most of the visible signs, such as swelling and bruising, should disappear within a few weeks. Symptoms such as hematoma and infection are common, and will usually subside within three to six months post-surgery. 

What's the Success Rate of Jaw Shaping Procedures in Johannesburg?

Jaw shaping surgery is a safe procedure when performed by a trained surgeon. Around 94% of patients express their satisfaction with this procedure. However, it is important to have realistic expectations. You should also be aware of the possible risks that this surgery may cause. These risks include infection, asymmetry, seroma, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and hematoma. Partial numbness of the jaw can also happen due to nerve damage.
