Description
Zhiyang Xie and colleagues wrote a 2026 narrative review of jaw angle surgery in Asian patients who seek a slimmer lower face. Many designs for cutting the jaw angle exist, plus newer supporting technologies. Practical guidance on matching technique to each patient's jaw shape and goals has been limited.
The review, based on literature searched to the end of 2025, explains how techniques differ in where the cut starts, ends, and runs. A long curved cut remains common for prominent angles, while other designs suit different bone and soft-tissue features. The authors stress that endpoints should include appearance and function, not bone removal alone, and they discuss complications and long-term bone remodelling.
