Introduction

The mandibular angle reduction surgery can be divided into four techniques, with corresponding prices as follows: - Burring method: reference price 20,000–50,000 RMB per session; - Osteotomy method: reference price 30,000–50,000 RMB per session; - Outer table removal method: reference price 6,000–20,000 RMB per session; - Comprehensive remodeling method: reference price 20,000–100,000 RMB per session.

Generally, mandibular angle reduction surgery can be divided into four surgical techniques, with corresponding reference prices as follows: bone grinding method, 20,000–50,000 RMB per session; bone cutting method, 30,000–50,000 RMB per session; outer table removal method, 6,000–20,000 RMB per session; and comprehensive remodeling method, 20,000–100,000 RMB per session. Factors influencing the cost of mandibular angle reduction surgery include individual facial differences, surgical complexity, and regional living costs.

Different types of mandibular angle reduction surgery and their reference prices:

Procedure Name	Bone Grinding Method	Bone Cutting Method	Outer Table Removal Method	Comprehensive Remodeling Method
Reference Price	20,000–50,000 RMB/session	30,000–50,000 RMB/session	6,000–20,000 RMB/session	20,000–100,000 RMB/session
Principle	Uses grinding tools to remove excess bone from the mandibular angle to improve facial contour.	Surgically cuts away enlarged portions of the mandibular angle, allowing for significant bone removal.	Removes excess bone in cases of outer table flaring or hypertrophy.	Customizes surgical plans by combining multiple techniques such as grinding, cutting, and outer table osteotomy.
Suitable Candidates	Ideal for individuals with mild mandibular angle issues, prominent jaw angles, or overly sharp angles.	Suitable for individuals with明显 mandibular angle enlargement or flaring.	Suitable for individuals with mandibular angle hypertrophy, outer table thickening, or flaring.	Suitable for individuals requiring comprehensive improvement of facial contours, including mandibular angle and zygomatic bones.
Recovery Period	3–6 months	3–6 months	3–6 months	3–6 months
Duration of Results	15–20 years	15–20 years	15–20 years	15–20 years
Advantages	1. High procedural flexibility 2. Minimal trauma	1. High precision 2. Enhances facial three-dimensionality	1. Minimal trauma 2. Improves facial shape	1. Improves overall facial contour 2. Enhances facial aesthetics
Potential Risks	1. Infection or bleeding 2. Nerve injury	1. Risk of infection 2. Poor wound healing	1. Facial bleeding 2. Risk of infection	1. Poor wound healing 2. Infection or bleeding

Factors affecting cost:

1. Individual Facial Differences
Each person's facial structure and mandibular anatomy vary, leading to differences in surgical difficulty and duration. Larger or wider mandibles increase surgical complexity and cost.

2. Surgical Complexity
Due to anatomical variations, surgical difficulty differs among individuals. More pronounced mandibular hypertrophy increases technical demands and thus raises the price.

3. Regional Cost of Living
Economic development and living costs vary across regions, directly impacting the pricing of mandibular angle reduction surgery.

Patients are advised to make informed decisions based on their individual conditions and aesthetic goals, under the guidance of a qualified physician.

How to correct facial asymmetry

In general, facial asymmetry may include asymmetry of the zygomatic bones, mandible, facial soft tissues, masseter-related facial size discrepancy (commonly known as "uneven face"), dental alignment issues, etc. These can be improved through treatments such as zygomatic reshaping surgery, mandibular osteotomy, facial thread lifting, masseter muscle reduction surgery, orthodontic treatment, and others. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and choose the most suitable method under professional medical advice.

How to make the masseter muscle smaller

In general, enlarged masseter muscles may be related to factors such as improper bite alignment, genetics, broad mandible, or fat accumulation. In daily life, one can improve the appearance of large masseter muscles by avoiding excessive chewing of hard objects and by massaging to relax the muscles. If these methods are ineffective, medical aesthetic treatments such as injections of botulinum toxin type A, corrective surgery for masseter hypertrophy, jawbone contouring surgery, or liposuction may be considered.

Where is the mentalis muscle located in the face?

Under normal circumstances, the mentalis muscle is located in the anterior region of the mandible and is one of the facial expression muscles. The mentalis originates from the front part of the mandible and inserts into the skin and soft tissues of the chin. It is a relatively small muscle composed primarily of muscle fibers, capable of elevating and tightening the skin and soft tissues of the chin area, thereby creating a firmer and more defined jawline.
