Jaw Reduction is also called Mandible Angle Reduction
Jaw Reduction Surgery (Jaw Contouring and Jaw Shaving, V line)
For persons with wide faces due to oversize jaws and thus making the faces out of proper proportion, some may want to have slimmer faces. Jaw reduction surgery (V line) can help you to have a smaller and slimmer lower facial portion, with a pleasing symmetry. Before surgery, an X-ray of the jaw bone and teeth will be carried out so that the surgeon could plan the degree of surgery. The operation will take 2-3 hours under anesthesia, with a one-night hospital stay. The normal recovery period is about 2-3 weeks.
