Can bone reshaping change facial shape?
Disease description:
My face is somewhat square, and my friends suggested I improve my facial shape through jawbone shaving. Can jawbone reduction surgery really change the face shape?

Orthognathic surgery can generally improve facial shape, and it is effective in transforming a square jawline. During the procedure, incisions are made inside the mouth, allowing access to the prominent bones, which are then shaved down to the desired extent before the incisions are sutured closed. After recovery, the intended aesthetic outcome can be achieved. Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery should pay attention to their diet, focusing primarily on light and bland foods.
