Complications of jaw contouring surgery may include infection, bleeding, facial distortion, asymmetry, and in severe cases, damage to facial nerves leading to facial paralysis. To minimize the risk of post-surgical complications, it is essential to undergo jaw contouring surgery at a reputable cosmetic institution with an experienced plastic surgeon.
