What Is Mandibular Angle Resection?
The mandibular angle forms the back corner of the lower jaw and can contribute to a wider, more square facial appearance.
Mandibular angle resection reshapes this area to create a softer, smoother and more refined jawline while maintaining balanced facial proportions.
Jawline Contouring
By reducing the prominence of the mandibular angles, the lower face can appear less broad and angular, creating a softer and more refined jawline.
The extent of contouring is tailored to your jaw structure, facial proportions and individual goals, with the aim of maintaining natural balance across the lower face.
Individualized Surgical Planning
Every jaw has a unique shape and anatomy. Dr. Bensimon evaluates your facial structure and goals to determine the appropriate areas and amount of jaw contouring.
Your treatment plan is designed to complement your other facial features and create a balanced overall appearance.
Combining Mandibular Angle Resection With FFS
Mandibular angle resection may be performed as part of a broader facial feminization plan.
Depending on your needs, it may be combined with:
- Chin Reduction or Augmentation
- V-Line Procedure
- Other Facial Feminization Procedures
Treating the lower face together can help create more cohesive facial proportions.
Is Mandibular Angle Resection Right for You?
The amount of jaw contouring possible varies from patient to patient. Your jaw structure, facial proportions and individual goals are important factors in determining the appropriate approach.
