Jawline surgery is a highly individualized surgical procedure designed to improve definition and proportion along the lower face. While jawline narrowing or refining requires bony re-shaping, jawline enhancement typically involves placing implants for long-term enhancement. These implants can be customized for you to help achieve your ideal jawline.
For many patients, jawline reduction or augmentation forms part of a broader strategy known as profile balancing, where the nose, chin, and jawline are evaluated together to create seamless harmony. Board-certified facial surgeon Dr. Bueno offers expertise in structural cosmetic surgery, providing exceptional jawline refinement that complements the rest of your facial features for a natural, balanced facial appearance.
Facial beauty is rarely about a single feature. It’s about how each element—your nose, chin, jawline, and neck—work together in harmony. This is the foundation of profile balancing, a philosophy of harmony and proportion that guides every procedure at Bueno Facial Aesthetic Surgery.
Dr. Bueno uses his advanced training in both maxillofacial and facial cosmetic surgery to look beyond the jawline or chin alone. Instead, he creates a personalized treatment plan that enhances proportions, restores balance, and refines the overall profile.
Whether through jawline contouring, chin surgery, rhinoplasty, neck lift or a combination approach, the goal remains the same: results that look natural, seamless, and uniquely yours.
Your procedure begins with a consultation, where Dr. Bueno carefully evaluates facial proportions and outlines a personalized plan. Depending on your goals, surgery may include implants to enhance projection, sculpting of the lower jaw for contour, or integration with other procedures such as rhinoplasty, neck lift, or cheek implants.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a safe, comfortable setting. Incisions are usually placed inside the mouth or within natural creases on the face. Most patients go home the same day, with detailed aftercare instructions provided.
What Is a Custom Wrap-Around Jawline Implant?
If you desire full jawline enhancement, Dr. Bueno will discuss custom wrap-around jawline implants with you. After getting a special scan of your face, he will collaborate with you and an engineer to customize a jawline designed just for you and your goals.
Jawline surgery can treat a variety of concerns, including a weak or recessed jawline, asymmetry, age-related loss of definition, the appearance of a double chin, or dissatisfaction with facial profile. It may also be used as corrective or reconstructive surgery for trauma repair following a broken jaw, or as part of facial feminization surgery.
It is important to understand that jawline surgery does not affect the way your teeth come together, so people with dentofacial deformities should instead seek orthodontics and orthognathic surgery.
While jawline surgery specifically enhances the contours of the lower face, including the chin, jaw angle, and jawline itself, it can also work synergistically with a neck lift or neck liposuction to comprehensively address the lower facial profile.
Patients often choose jawline surgery to improve definition, restore balance between their facial features, and strengthen their profile. Beyond aesthetics, many report greater confidence in both professional and social settings. When performed by a facial specialist, the results look refined yet natural, never overdone.
Ideal candidates are healthy adults who want to enhance definition, correct asymmetry, or refine a jawline that is deemed to be too wide. Those with concerns about the balance between their chin, nose, and jaw often benefit most from a profile balancing approach. Patients should have realistic expectations and be committed to recovery protocols for optimal outcomes.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising that resolves within one to two weeks. Strenuous activity should be limited for several weeks, but daily routines can typically resume sooner. Dr. Bueno provides detailed aftercare instructions and close follow-up care to ensure safe healing and refined results.
The results of jawline surgery become more apparent as swelling subsides, with full refinement visible within a few months. Because the procedure addresses deep structural anatomy, results are long-lasting, providing enduring improvement in facial balance and profile definition.

Most jawline surgeries last 2–3 hours, depending on whether implants, contouring, or bone reshaping are performed.
Incisions are typically hidden inside the mouth or along natural skin creases, leaving minimal visible scarring.
Yes. Many patients combine jawline surgery with chin surgery, rhinoplasty, or a neck lift as part of a comprehensive profile balancing plan.
Initial results are visible within weeks, but the final contours emerge after residual swelling subsides, typically in 2–3 months.
Yes. The results of jawline surgery are considered permanent, though natural aging and weight changes can influence the long-term appearance of the jaw and facial contours.
As an alternative to jawline surgery, dermal fillers can be used to sculpt the jaw, lower face, and other areas to refine or enhance facial contours or restore lost volume caused by aging. Dermal fillers provide a minimally invasive approach to jawline contouring, with results maintained by periodic touch-up treatments.
Due to the temporary nature of non-surgical jawline contouring and other profile balancing procedures, if patients are on the fence about undergoing profile balancing surgery, they can first visit our med spa as a trial run to see if they enjoy their enhanced profile.
