Mandibular Angle Lift

Jaw lift surgery: what you need to know

Jaw lift surgery is performed to improve the jaw and neck lines by removing excess fat through liposuction and lifting loose neck tissues. For patients with insufficient bony support, mandibular restructuring is used to optimize the contour of the jaw, combined with MCR facial tissue composite lifting to enhance facial support. The procedure accurately repositions the soft tissues and reshapes the jawline to create a clear and smooth shape, achieving a natural and harmonious facial proportion.

Jaw angle lift surgery focuses on the problem of unclear or sagging contours in the jaw area, especially the following manifestations:

● Undefined jawline: the jawline is blurred and the facial contour appears flat or lacks dimension.

● Double chin: flab or slackness in the jawline area, leading to the formation of a double chin and making the face appear bloated.

● Loose Jawline: Loose jawline contour caused by age or fat accumulation, affecting the overall facial aesthetics.

● Facial Proportion Imbalance: Prominence or imbalance of the jawline may make the overall facial proportions appear incongruous.

Modern jawline lift surgery restores refinement and dimension to the face by removing or adjusting excess fat around the jawline, tightening loose skin, and even reshaping the jawline contour in a minimally invasive way to achieve a long-lasting and natural-looking result.

After consulting with your surgeon and agreeing to proceed with the surgery, the following are preparations for jawline lift surgery:

● Stop smoking before the surgery: smoking affects blood circulation and slows down the recovery process.

● Stop taking aspirin or any medication that interferes with blood clotting: to avoid unnecessary bleeding problems after surgery.

● Physical examination and medical history: due to the demands of anaesthesia, the patient will need to undergo a thorough health check-up and the anaesthetist and surgeon will assess the suitability of the surgery.

● Facial and jawline examination: the surgeon will perform a detailed facial examination, analyse the jawline area and develop a personalised surgical plan.

● Confirmation of expectations: The patient should ask the surgeon about post-operative results to ensure that expectations for the jawline lift surgery are reasonable and to understand the degree of improvement that may result from the surgery.

Jaw angle lift surgery usually involves the following steps:

● Incision design: depending on the patient, the surgeon will design small incisions in the jaw area, behind the ears or around the chin to minimise scar exposure.

● Fat removal or reshaping: the jawline is improved by removing or reshaping the fat around the jawline.

● Skin Tightening: Proper tightening of loose skin to restore firmness to the jawline area.

In some cases, jawline lift surgery may be combined with other procedures (e.g. facelift, lipofilling, etc.) to achieve a more comprehensive facial contour improvement.

Jaw lift surgery is suitable for the following people:

● Adults with significant sagging, fat accumulation or poorly defined lines in the jaw area.

● Skin with a certain degree of elasticity that can aid in post-operative recovery.

● Have no serious medical conditions or health problems that would interfere with surgery and recovery.

● Have reasonable expectations for the outcome of the procedure and understand that surgery can improve appearance but cannot stop the natural progression of the aging process.

Recovery time after surgery varies from person to person and usually includes the following stages:

● Week 1: Slight swelling and bruising may occur after surgery, patients should rest and avoid strenuous activities.

● The second to third week: most of the swelling and bruising begin to subside, and daily activities are gradually resumed, but excessive exercise should still be avoided.

● One month later: the appearance is gradually close to the natural state and the effect is gradually visible, but the final effect usually takes 3-6 months to be fully visible.

Post-operative patients should strictly follow the doctor's care recommendations for recovery, including regular follow-ups, keeping the incision clean and avoiding exposure to the sun, etc., in order to promote recovery and reduce the risk of infection.

Although jaw lift surgery is a well-established cosmetic technique, as with any surgery, there are still certain risks, such as infection, scarring, nerve damage, or asymmetry in post-operative results. Choosing an experienced surgeon and fully communicating pre-operative expectations can minimise the risks of surgery.
