Jaw reduction can be performed multiple ways to decrease or modify the size of a jaw and to also create a more feminine look on patients with a square and masculine jawline. The surgeon can make an incision inside the mouth and then shave the bone to reduce the size and projection of the chin. Patients with a jaw that is extremely big might need a decrease in the angle of the jaw as the surgeon cuts the mandible angle out (lower border of the jaw where it starts to move upward) to create a tapered appearance. The masseter muscle can be injected with Botox to paralyze it and create a softer appearance. Liposuction under the chin can remove fat to reduce the jaw appearance.
