JAWLINE · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Jaw-Angle Reduction: before & after and recovery stages
Watch lower-jaw swelling recede to reveal a narrower outer angle.
Also called square jaw reduction · mandibular angle reduction
SUMMARY
What this example shows
The outer lower-jaw angles narrow while the central chin stays in place. Surgical swelling temporarily broadens the sides. This contouring example does not move the tooth-bearing jaw, change the bite or reduce masseter activity.
STAGE BY STAGE
Jaw-Angle Reduction recovery stages
Before treatment
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
First few days: Swelling broadens the sides
The lower face looks full over the narrowed outline.
Bruising and swelling are part of the early surgical response.
Around 2 weeks: Early settling
Less color exposes the outside jaw edge.
The broader guidance describes recovery over weeks and months.
Around 1 month: Width comparison
The jaw sides are narrower with some remaining fullness.
Combined facial operations do not share one recovery deadline.
Around 3 months: Later jaw outline
The example shows less early swelling.
Surface settling does not establish bone or nerve recovery.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
Fullness obscures the narrowed jaw outline.
Broad side-jaw swelling and discoloration are illustrated.
The lower-face fullness starts to recede.
Less color reveals the changed jaw edge.
The outline is narrower despite some residual fullness.
Subtle settling may outlast obvious early swelling.
This endpoint does not establish bone or nerve recovery.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
This is outer jaw-angle contouring. It does not move the tooth-bearing jaw, change the bite or simulate muscle-relaxing injections.
Longer term
Subtle swelling and sensation may keep changing. The illustrated stages are not measured recovery curves for isolated jaw surgery.
EVIDENCE NOTES
Sources and limitations
- Cleveland Clinic: Facial feminization surgery
Jaw-bone reduction and broad recovery over weeks to months. This multi-procedure guidance does not establish an isolated jaw-operation deadline.
