Square Jaw Reduction

Overview

Square jaw (mandibular angle) reduction shaves a wide, angular jaw to slim the lower face and soften the jawline.

Methods & types

• Angle ostectomy (bone shaving)
• Cortical/outer-bone reduction for width
• Incisions inside the mouth

Who it’s for

• Wide or angular lower face
• Prominent jaw angles
• Wanting a softer, slimmer jawline

Recovery

• Swelling for 2–4 weeks
• Soft diet and careful hygiene early
• Final line over 3–6 months

Approximate cost

USD 5,000–9,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Aggressive reduction can create a “second angle” look if done poorly
• Skilled bone contouring is essential
