The role the jawline plays in achieving great facial harmony is huge, which is why if you’re looking to lastingly resolve an asymmetric, over or under-projected jawline – or are simply unhappy with the appearance of your jawline – look no further than our bespoke and minimally invasive surgical and non-surgical Jaw Surgeries and treatments.
The shape of the jaw plays an integral role in harmonic appearances, which is why Jaw Reshaping is a cosmetic issue a lot of our patients seek advice on. Whether you’re looking for a jaw augmentation, reduction, or non-surgical approach, we’ll be able to transform the appearance of your lower mandible seamlessly.
Often, Jaw Surgery is prominently an aesthetic procedure that can resolve issues of asymmetry, disproportion or the over or under-prominence of the jawline. We also have an array of non-surgical avenues to consider – as it is our combination of both supreme surgical and non-surgical techniques that makes 111 Harley St. the superior aesthetic centre it is. Plus, it means that everything you could require is conveniently under one roof or a part of the 111 aesthetic family (including 111SKIN, 111CRYO and 111SPA/CLINIC).
One of the biggest benefits of Jaw Surgery are that it’s very versatile – both in surgical techniques and technology – which has ensured we can treat a wide range of cosmetic and medical issues. Some of our Jaw Surgery methods are:
Jaw Augmentation
Also known as chin implants, this one way to enhance your facial proportion or improve your facial harmony – which is an especially popular treatment for anyone that is bothered by a small chin or lack of contour and definition. We often see male patients wanting to accentuate their jawlines with a Chin Augmentation as they are looking to create a stronger or squarer shape.
This procedure involves using anatomical implants, meaning they are ones that fit seamlessly to the bone. All our implants vary in shape, consistency, pliability, and size. They are made of the latest silicone and expanded polytetrafluorethylene technology that is helping drive the new future for plastic surgery – one that typifies the safe, ultra-innovative and industry-leading products our surgeons and patients love today.
This procedure involves making an incision inside of the mouth, discreetly along the crease that joins your lower lip and gum – to minimise any scarring so there will be no external signs of surgery. Then, your implant will be fitted to the bone, placed securely in the surgical pocket made.
Depending on the extent of the work needed, this procedure can be performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic or at a hospital under general anaesthetic.
Jaw Reduction
Also known as a Chin Reduction, this procedure works to alter, sculpt, and shape the lower mandible. This is a minimally invasive, atraumatic procedure that employs the use of an ultrasonic instrument called a Piezo to improve the projection of the jawline.
A Piezo is renowned for its increased accuracy and precision and is a procedure Dr Yannis has been performing for years. Its ultra-innovative technology means it lastingly helps you achieve your ideal jaw shape and expertly sculpts without the long downtime traditionally associated with Jaw Reductions.
Some of the benefits of jaw reduction surgery are that it has minimal swelling, produces no external scarring, and has a shortened recovery time – where you’ll see massive improvements in appearance after only 1 week of post-surgery.
Jaw Reshaping
A jaw reduction is often called V-Line Surgery; and as the name suggests, it works to create a desirable V-shape of the chin. It additionally helps to narrow the jawline for those who have a more square of shorter chin. It popular among our patients wanting to slim the lower face and create a well-defined point on the chin.
An oval shape is a popular female jawline surgery and another shape that is often sought out among women. Depending on the extent of the work needed, this procedure can be performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic or at a hospital under general anaesthetic.
We have a plethora of other options to consider too. Some are:
Masseter Injections
Injections when administered into the correct area, can act as a jaw slimming surgery alternative – one that can help you achieve a more angular, V-shaped appearance.
This non-surgical treatment, when treating th masseter muscle, which is present between the cheekbone and lower mandible, can help slim the face by reducing the movement of the masseter that contributes to a stronger jawline and lasts for around 6-8 months.
Dermal Fillers
For those looking to accentuate or enhance the appearance of their lower face, Dermal Fillers offer a volumizing alternative to Chin or Jaw Augmentation. These are hyaluronic acid-based fillers which can be injected into the jawline to sculpt and create your ideal shape. This treatment that can be performed by either our Aesthetic Doctor or Nurse – depending on your preference.
Fat Grafting
Known as Facial Fat Transfer, micro-grafting or ‘lipo-sculpting’, that works by utilising unwanted fat from your body and reintroducing it into the jawline or chin area to create more definition. It’s like a 2-in-1 procedure that enhances one area, while subtly removing fullness in another.
Fat Grafting works by using a cannula and an ultra-fine needle to delicately extract the fat by hand to preserve their natural state. Then, Dr Yannis will separate the living fat from any debris and re-inject pure fat into the desired area. One benefit of this procedure is that the fat can be extracted from most any area of the body, but some popular ones are the abdomen or the thighs.
Submental Liposuction
This is a type of liposuction that only targets the lower face and is extremely effective in contouring and re-establishing a well-defined jawline and chin. It works by removing any excess fat around the neck and jawline that can contribute to a more recessed-looking lower face. Also known as double chin surgery, this is minimally invasive way to remove unliked lower facial fat and restore a taut front and side profile.
Some concerns are:
A weak chin can be effortlessly resolved cosmetically, however sometimes it can be an indication or sign of the following:
Each Jaw Surgery procedure is unique and always begins with a consultation. It is during this time you’ll be able to outline your concerns and what you’d like to achieve from your 111 Harley St. experience. It is also when Dr Yannis will analyse your jaw and assess the aesthetic routes that will benefit you most, this often includes taking photographs of your face from both the front and side profiles to help Dr Yannis visualise the possible surgical interventions necessary.
Jaw Reduction surgery works by essentially shaving the jaw bone down and is often referred to (informally) as a jaw shaving surgery. As mentioned earlier, the tool used to reduce the bone projection is called a Piezo – which is an ultrasonic medical device that ensures the surrounding tissue is undamaged.
One of the benefits of a Jaw Reduction surgery with Dr Yannis is that there will be no visible scarring. Dr Yannis will make an incision inside the mouth and is able to alter the bone from this angle. The incision is made across the bottom of the gums, called the gingiva, and afterwards it will be closed with dissolvable stitches.
This surgery is also performed under general anaesthetic and does not usually require an overnight stay, so once you’ve been monitored for a while you’ll be discharged from the hospital on the day.
At 111 Harley St., we operate under general anaesthesia and as a day case procedure so you won’t need to stay overnight. The surgeon will make incisions inside the mouth to avoid scarring will alter the structure by removing and reshaping the bone and removing excess tissue. Dissolvable sutures will close the incision, and the remaining structure will be secured.
Jaw reduction or chin reduction surgery is suitable for anyone who wishes to reshape or reduce the size of their chin or jaw. It’s a popular surgery of choice for our Asian patients who want to attain a V-shaped silhouette to their face shape.
Depending on your aesthetic goals, we may recommend combining the operation with a surgical procedure like buccal fat removal to reduce fat in the lower cheeks or a non-surgical alternative to refining the jawline like Masseter Injections. However, this does not provide a permanent solution, and you’ll need to repeat the treatment every four to six weeks.
There will be an immediate change in the size and shape of your jawline and chin. However, you should expect significant swelling to ensue, which can last three months or more. The final result should be visible after around six months.
After the operation, we will require you to wear a facial compression support garment. Your face will initially swell and should resolve over a few months.
We will advise you to follow a soft diet for the first few weeks after your operation. You may experience discomfort and pain, numbness and significant swelling during this time. You should be able to return to work and resume exercise after two to three weeks.
The procedure takes approximately 1-2 hours but varies depending on the extent of the surgery.

Why 111 Harley St?
I had 6 sessions of endormologie and could see results already after first session. Skin was smoother and less bloated post liposuction. I highly recommend Milena who was very helpful in choosing the right treatment and giving advise!

I had BBL surgery with 360 lipo in November (which I highly recommend by the way, Dr Yannis is a genius). After one week of feeling very sorry for myself, I finally went for my first LPG treatment (an intensive method of lymphatic drainage, and an alternative to the usual massage). Upon arrival, Rachael was so kind and welcoming and encouraging. I was still walking like an old lady, could hardly remove my garment, and still felt a little nauseous, but Rachael took immediate and wonderful care of me. She did an assessment, took me to their spa room, adjusted the temperature and lighting so that the atmosphere was calm and soothing, and she explained what we were going to do and how it was going to benefit my recovery. The treatment itself was sore at first, but only because I had a lot of bruising and swelling; as I got used to the feel of the LPG machine I could feel my body relax and give in. Rachael was such a lovely presence throughout and made me feel safe and cared for. After that first treatment, I was blown away at how I could stand and move and bend after a week of stiffness and discomfort from the liposuction. That sold me. I felt like I could breathe all of a sudden! And we both could see a visible reduction of the swelling. I decided then and there to do a treatment of 12 sessions, two a week for the foreseeable future. I am now on my 12th session and I cannot tell you what a difference it has made! My swelling is almost entirely gone, my skin has retracted beautifully, my waist continues to get smaller and my stomach is even starting to firm up. I honestly have looked forward to my sessions with Rachael every week. I always feel relaxed and rejuvenated after each one, and better able to move and flex. But importantly, Rachaels attention to detail, her professionalism, her thorough understanding of the human body, and her calm and kind demeanour have made my entire experience an absolute dream. I will be continuing the treatment once a month from now on, and will do so with pleasure!
