Jaw

Jaw surgery is used to tighten up sagging skin around the jaw line, make the angle of the jaw more prominent and to remove fatty deposits around the neck and jowls leaving a firmer, more youthful face.

Jaw surgery can:

  • Reduce wrinkles and creases
  • Tighten up droopy, sagging skin that is suffering the effects of gravity
  • Restore the younger, firmer contours of your face

"Angle of Jaw" or cheek implants are often used to enhance the result.

Procedure and Recovery

  • The procedure takes around two hours
  • You may return home later the same day
  • Excess, sagging skin is removed from around the jaw line or neck and the underlying tissue is tightened at the same time
  • Scarring is minimal, hidden along the natural skin crease line and fades over one to two months
  • Discomfort afterwards is minimal
  • You may return to work after 12 to 14 days

The best result will be realised in about three months.
