How Does Jaw Augmentation Work?

Surgical jaw augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgery itself can take several hours. The plastic surgeon will make incisions inside the mouth or under the chin to create pockets for the implants. The implants are then inserted and secured in place using sutures. The incisions are then closed, and the patient is sent to the recovery room to begin healing. Non-Surgical jaw augmentation is a 15-minute procedure where fillers are used to shape and contour one’s jawline. This procedure has very fast recovery time and can even be performed during one’s lunch break. The fillers last up to 18 months and provide an immediate solution for one’s jaw line.
