Jaw contouring surgeries for the upper or lower jaw help correct facial asymmetry and enhance the aesthetic balance of the face. The surgery may be necessary due to congenital deformities, injuries, or unsatisfactory facial proportions.
Jaw implants can also be used to reshape the jawline and accentuate facial features. The benefits of the procedure are both functional and aesthetic, and the surgery can significantly improve quality of life.
During contouring surgeries, the surgeon uses precise and modern techniques, such as virtual planning and individually 3D-printed guides or implants, to ensure that the outcome is both aesthetically and functionally successful.
Jaw contouring surgery for the upper or lower jaw can be helpful in the following situations:
During the initial consultation with a plastic surgeon, your current situation will be reviewed, and a personalized treatment plan will be created together. The surgeon will assess your facial structure, bite, and the necessary procedures. If needed, a CT scan of the face and other diagnostic tests will be performed to plan the surgery.
For the procedure, the plastic surgeon may use specialized surgical instruments to shape the bone, for example, by removing excess bone or smoothing out irregularities. This may be necessary to correct jawbone asymmetry or improve the aesthetic balance of the face.
If the surgery involves the placement of jaw implants, the plastic surgeon will make carefully planned incisions inside the mouth or, if necessary, externally to position the implants correctly. The implants are precisely attached to the jawbone and can be used, for example, to enhance the jawline or increase the length of the jaw.
Once the surgery is complete, the surgeon will carefully close the incisions with either self-absorbing sutures or sutures that will be removed later during a follow-up visit. Simpler procedures may take approximately 1–2 hours, while more extensive surgeries can take several hours.
After the surgery, your condition will be monitored in the recovery room to ensure that any pain or discomfort is managed. You can usually go home the same day or the following day, depending on the extent of the surgery and your individual recovery.
In the days following the surgery, swelling, pain, and bruising may occur, but these usually subside gradually. Cold compresses may be recommended during the first few days to reduce swelling. The final shape of the jawbone and the results of the surgery will only begin to appear after several months.

In jaw contouring surgery for the upper or lower jaw, the surgeon reshapes the jawbone through techniques such as grinding, bone transfers, or the use of implants. The goal of the surgery is to improve facial symmetry and aesthetic appearance.
Jaw contouring surgery is recommended when facial asymmetry, bite difficulties, or aesthetic concerns negatively impact quality of life. It may also be necessary to repair damage caused by injuries or illnesses.
Techniques used in jaw contouring surgery include bone grinding, bone transfers, implant placement, and sometimes soft tissue modification.
The initial recovery time for jaw contouring surgery is 2–6 weeks, but complete healing may take several months. Swelling and bruising are common during the first few days.
The choice depends on the reason for the surgery. For aesthetic procedures, a plastic surgeon is often the right choice, while an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is recommended for functional issues related to the bite.
The cost of jaw contouring surgery varies depending on the technique used and the extent of the surgery. The price typically includes the surgery, hospital fees, and follow-up visits. The exact cost is determined during the initial consultation. You can also explore Mehiläinen's flexible payment options.
