Jawline Contouring

The cost of jawline contouring in Pakistan ranges between 15,000-30,000 PKR. This cost varies according to your geographic location, surgeon’s experience, number of treatment sessions, and additional cosmetic services provided by your dermatologist. 

Procedure 

Non-surgical jawline contouring methods include dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid and injectables such as Botox. The treatment procedure is as follows:

• The plastic surgeon cleans the treatment area. After this, numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure. 

• Dermal fillers are strategically injected along the jawline. 

• Botox or other muscle relaxants may be injected into specific jaw muscles to achieve a slimmer appearance.

The steps for surgical jawline contouring are as follows:

• Local anesthesia is administered and the treatment site is numbed to reduce comfort during the procedure. 

• Incisions are made at different locations including the mouth or along facial creases.

• Silicone or other biocompatible implants may be placed along the jawline. 

• The excess bone is removed or modified to achieve the desired contour.

• Then, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions with sutures. Dressings or bandages may be applied to protect the surgical site.

Risks and Complications 

The following risks and complications are associated with jawline contouring: 

• Post-operative bleeding

• Infection at the surgical site

• Bruising as a result of blood clotting

• Temporary or permanent visible scarring

• Allergic reactions caused by anesthesia, medications, or surgical instruments

What to expect after the surgery?

Once jawline contouring is completed, the patient may expect:

• Poor healing: Some patients may experience delayed or impaired wound healing. Smoking, certain medical conditions, or poor post-operative care increases the risk of wound complications.

• Asymmetry: Irregularities or unevenness of the skin may occur. Lumps, bumps, or uneven texture is also common. Thus, additional treatments are needed to address these issues.

• Follow-up appointments: Your surgeon will also schedule multiple follow-up appointments to monitor post-operative healing.

The recovery time for jawline contouring depends on the healing abilities of the patient and the complexity of the procedure. However, most of the patients recover completely within six weeks. But facial swelling persists for a bit longer.
