Square jaw reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the lower jaw by removing or shaving down the outer jawbone to create a slimmer, more oval or V-shaped facial profile. This operation is particularly popular among patients with a wide, angular, or overly prominent lower jaw that gives a masculine or bulky appearance.
To be beautiful at any angle, you need to take all the bones, muscles and fat into account. We need a more diversified and technical approach.

How Is Square Jaw Reduction Performed?
Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu performs square jaw reduction under general anesthesia. The surgery involves making incisions inside the mouth to access the jawbone, thereby avoiding visible scarring. Using specialized surgical instruments, the outer portion of the mandible (jawbone) is shaved or resected to reduce width and angularity. The procedure may also involve contouring the masseter muscles if they are overly developed.
Duration of the Operation
The surgery typically takes 3 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity and whether it’s combined with other procedures.
