At Birbe Clinic we specialize in mandibuloplasty, an ideal treatment to change the shape of the jaw and harmonize it. The parts of the jaw that we usually reshape are the angle, the inferior border of the mandible  and chin. If you would like to know more about our mandibuloplasty in Barcelona, read carefully to this article!

In our clinic, we see patients with a variety of  jaw deformities. For example, about jaws that are too wide, too long or asymmetric. Mandibuloplasty reshapes the mandible. A treatment with which we can reduce the width, length and overall shape of the mandible making an incision inside the mouth, avoiding external and visible scars. To do that we use piezosurgery, microsaws and microdrills.

But do you know what we mean by jaw contouring?The jaw line is one of  the most incisive aspects in the definition of the facial oval. We find cases in which the jaw is  too wide, although there are also cases in which the patient has a jaw that is too narrow or with an asymmetry between the two sides of the face. The width or definition of a jaw angle may be adequate in a man, but the same shape in a woman may be disproportionate. It is important that the shape of the mandible is in accordance with the sex of the patient. There must be sexual dimorphism. 

To carry out this treatment, a photographic study and a facial scan of the patient must be carried out beforehand. Then we can perfectly see the areas to be treated, as well as the noble structures to respect , such as, for example, the inferior alveolar  nerve, which must be respected. In addition, with this study, we can also make a simulation to visualize the desired changes and define the treatment plan. Often we can print surgical guides that helps us to very precisely replicate the treatment plant previously made in the facial scanner.

Mandibuloplasty can be carried out as a single procedure or concomitantly with  other procedures such as cheekbone reshaping,genioplasty, rhinoplasty or frontal bossing remodeling and hairline lowering. These cases are performed if the patient requires a larger facial transformation.
