WORTH IT$8,000
Hi everyone, this site helped me research results and healing process for jaw contouring so i want to add my two cents. I am a woman but my facial shape was very masculine so i sought doctors whose expertise is in femininity. I went with Dr. Vartan Mardarossian in Jupiter FL. I was also developing bags under my eyes and had them removed. Dr. M and his staff were very easy going and professional. I felt very comfortable with everyone. The surgery was done in his office and I spent the night in a local hotel where they had a corporate rate. I had virtually no bruising or swelling immediately after, but now it's two days later and i look like a chipmunk ready for winter. Still very little bruising under my eyes though, which i'm very happy about.
Will post pictures later. Answered Not Sure to was it worth it because it's only been two days and i can't see the result yet.

What was the technique for jaw contouring? Fat grafting? Botox? Jaw bone reduction?
October 18, 2015
It took mine about 5 months when the swelling went down, to start seeing the new contour.(Before then I couldnt see the contour because of the swelling.)Then it became apparent that my jaw angles had been overcut.Requiring 2 stages of reconstructive surgery to correct the jaw bone deformity. And I haven't got enough bone left for the surgeons to fix the jaw angle implants to so Im still hoping cranio surgeons can somehow help fix the deformity. They said," Some cases are irrepairable".

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that, and it's more than a little bit scary to hear. Did you ever post pictures? Mine doesn't feel that much different, when I run my fingers across my jawline. Did yours? Or did you have no idea until months later?
October 19, 2015
I had no idea until 5 months,when the swelling had gone done then it became visible. If then, I was afraid to think anything negative. I went to the docs and they did CT scans which showed my jaw angles were overcut plus the surgeon also cut on the mandible body(without my consent).

I've never posted pics yet (If anyone wants to know, they can PM me) and I havent mentioned the name of the hospital or surgeon. However, I can still raise public awareness about this type of surgery so that others will be aware of what can happen regarding this type of surgery. ( One could end up with overcut jaw angles and crooked cut on the mandible body, which is not always repairable.)

Hi Seraffe. I am considering jaw reduction by means of surgery cutting the jaw bone. I consulted with a few surgeons in Beverly Hills and Seoul. Could you please send me pictures and the doctor who performed surgery thru PM or email. I'm very undecided whether to go ahead with the surgery or not. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would like your before and after and ps's name as well. Thanks very much.

Aahhhhhh tht a..... I hope you find some help... I've mainly good stuff about this surgery this is why I'm doing research. Can they put an implant to even it out?

I'm just wondering why you would want to go to him after she said her face is uneven
September 3, 2016
They can try to put an implant to help put back the fake boney support for the soft tissues and skin. But then this does not gurantee how well it can help the sagging /droopy soft tissues(already detached off the bone). It may next require a smas surgery, stiching back up the soft tissues/muscles.

May I get the before and after pics, as well as the ps's name? Thanks Arrange!

I look forward to seeing your swelling go down. How are you feeling about everything so far? I can see an improvement already for sure!!
October 18, 2015
Hi! It will be months before I see the final result, but I'm kind of happy about that, because that means that people at work won't really notice I had anything done. It will just look like I've lost weight in my face. I'm still swollen and sore, though not as bad, and the healing process seems to be going well. Anxious to see the final result, but that won't be for a while yet, just like you it seems, so just trying to be patient. :)

I'm out of town visiting friends, and the good news is they don't know that I had the jaw contouring done. (I did tell them about the lower bleph) I could tell they thought something was different, but that maybe they thought I gained weight and was showing it in my face. I'm eating regular food now, but still try to stick to softer foods because the stitches haven't dissolved yet and chewing can be a little painful. For non-soft foods, I just take tiny bites and chew slowly and carefully, mainly with my front teeth. I still have a fair amount of swelling and soreness. I'll post more pictures soon.

where are the incisions for your jaw? I'm surprised that is a procedure that can be done in office.
October 19, 2015
The nurses told me to avoid warm/hot/ spicey foods which contribute to swelling. So for 3 wks, I lived on milk, juice, and soups that really cooled down. I craved salt so had to have soup and super soft processed cheese. And no sugar, the bacteria in your mouth multiplies and can contribute to infection.Had honey. Mouth washes, gargled and washed mouth with salt water. Small baby tooth brushes.

I didn't really think about the sugar thing until you mentioned it but it makes sense so I've definitely been avoiding it, most of the time. If there's something I had to have, I just made sure I brushed and gargled well. Thanks :)
Whoa, this is a big deal! I can't wait to see your photos. It must be a relief to be on the other side of this. I hope your swelling starts to subside soon so you can see your results. Please keep us updated!
