Your Guide To Jaw Reduction in Singapore

Results last about 6-9 months depending on your body’s metabolism and lifestyle habits. Repeating the treatment every 6 months may help you maintain your slimmer jaw profile. Patients may find that results last longer with each subsequent treatment as the jaw muscles become less bulky and active.

To help prolong results, we also recommend minimising foods that require heavy chewing, such as chewing gum and nuts, and also to avoid teeth grinding.

Measured amounts of jaw reduction solution are injected into your masseter (jaw) muscles. Between 3-5 tiny injections are made on each side of the jaw, depending on your anatomy and the size of your jaw muscles. The entire treatment can be done within 5 minutes or so.

Most patients report minimal discomfort and any pain is likened to an insect bite. For added comfort, numbing cream and ice packs can be applied before treatment.

There is very minimal to almost no downtime, except for tiny injection points on the jaws that disappear within a few hours. You can return to normal daily activities immediately after.

Bruising is rare, but if any do appear, they usually dissipate within a week. You may also apply concealer to cover any bruising, in the rare event that it occurs.

Jaw Reduction Treatment is a generally safe and effective way to reduce jaw size and visually slim down your face without surgery when done by a trained doctor. We have been performing this treatment since 2006.

Yes! Aside from a pair of bulky jaw muscles, saggy skin from ageing can also contribute to a round face. In such cases, other treatments such as HIFU, Ultherapy, or Thread Lift can also be considered for a sculpted, sharper and youthful look. Speak to our doctor in a consultation for a personalised treatment plan.

Any healthy adult (male or female) desiring a slimmer and visually sharper face. This is especially applicable for patients whose square jaws are caused by bulky masseter muscles, and whose skin is still taut, without much skin sagging. For patients with some degree of skin sagging, we recommend a combination treatment with HIFU or Thread Lift.

Always inform your doctor of all medications, including supplements you may be taking, as well as your medical history. Schedule your treatment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event if you are attending one.

You are free to apply makeup immediately following treatment.

Avoid any type of facial, microdermabrasion, or massage for 14 days after treatment. Do not touch or rub the injected sites for 2-4 hours after treatment.

Avoid strenuous activities such as heavy lifting or vigorous exercise 6 hours after treatment. This helps keep the treatment in its place and not migrate elsewhere.

At SL Aesthetic Clinic we recommend that patients also exercise their jaws gently by clenching the teeth for 3 to 5 repetitions, once or twice daily for the next 7 days to speed up the effects of the treatment on the jaw muscles.

Once the full results have taken effect, to prolong the results, we recommend patients minimise chewing on foods that require heavy chewing such as nuts and chewing gum.
