Why Mandible Surgery Creates a Harmonious Balance to your Facial Features

Why Mandible Surgery Creates a Harmonious Balance to your Facial Features
  • Mandible Surgery, also known as mentoplasty or chin surgery, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

    This patient went to see Dr. Michael Byun, known as one of the best plastic surgeons in the world, to soften his jaw line for a slimmer, more proportional look. Let’s hear what he had to say about Dr. Byun’s work, and how it has imrpoved his life.

    “I went to Dr. Byun to see if he could perform a procedure to correct my enlarged jaw line (called mandible reduction). Not only did I want a slimmer jaw line that was more proportional to the rest of my facial features, but I was hoping the procedure would relieve the tension and discomfort that I regularly felt in my jaw. Dr. Byun was able to perform the procedure by shaving off both bone and muscle from both sides of my jaw. The results are absolutely remarkable. Not only was he able to achieve the slimmer, more proportional facial appearance that I desired, but the tension in my jaw has disappeared. I have continued to see Dr. Byun about every six months for Botox injections in the jaw muscles in order to help prevent and weaken re-growth of these muscles.

    I felt very discouraged before seeing Dr. Byun. I went to a number of different cosmetic surgeons, and none were experienced or felt comfortable enough to perform the procedure. I only wish that Dr. Byun was the first visit on my list. I also wish that this was a more publicized procedure.”

    Dr. Byun is considered one of the best plastic surgeons in the United States and world. Aside from his expertise in mandible surgery, he is expertly versed in midface lifts, facelifts, breast augmentations and more.
