Mandibuloplasty in Barcelona

What Is Mandibuloplasty?

Mandibuloplasty involves changing the shape of the jaw to make it more harmonious. The jawline, lower lip, and chin are the areas most frequently reshaped. In cases where the jaws are very wide, we can also reduce their width. The surgery is performed inside the mouth, leaving no external scars. Reshaping is performed by filing down excessively large areas or altering their shape using micro-burs.

For a mandibuloplasty, a photographic assessment and a facial scan of the patient are essential; these allow for a precise view of the areas to be treated as well as the vital structures—such as the dental nerve—that must be preserved. This study also allows us to run a simulation to visualize the desired changes and, consequently, define the treatment plan.

Mandibuloplasty is performed either in isolation or in conjunction with other procedures—such as cheek or chin augmentation, rhinoplasty, or forehead contouring—in cases where the goal is a major facial transformation.

The postoperative period involves facial swelling for a few days. The use of a cryotherapy mask minimizes edema and substantially accelerates recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mandibuloplasty

It is a cosmetic surgery that reshapes the jaw to improve its definition, width, or projection. It can be performed by advancement, reduction, or augmentation using implants or grafts. At Clínica Birbe in Barcelona, we plan each case digitally to achieve a profile that is harmonious and in proportion to the rest of the face, always striving for a natural result.

When the patient perceives their jaw as poorly defined, receding, or too prominent, or when there is asymmetry. Also, when a weak profile detracts from the harmony of the face. Dr. Joan Birbe, an ABOMS-certified specialist, evaluates bone structure, bite, and facial proportions before recommending a specific technique.

In the vast majority of mandibuloplasty procedures, the approach is intraoral, so there are no visible scars. When an external incision is required in exceptional cases, it is planned so that it is concealed within natural skin folds. The intraoral technique, combined with careful suturing, promotes a discreet recovery.

The cost depends on the type of remodeling, the materials used, and the complexity of the project. That’s why we provide a fixed price after the initial visit and digital planning. We offer financing options. The important thing is to assess your case on an individual basis so we can offer you the best balance between technique, safety, and results.

Dr. Joan Birbe: Mandibuloplasty Using the ABOMS Maxillofacial Base Technique

Shaping the angle and body of the jaw is a delicate procedure: the proximity of the dental nerve and the importance of the facial contour leave little room for error. Dr. Birbe’s ABOMS certification ensures 3D surgical planning and the selection of the appropriate technique for each case—reduction, augmentation, or reshaping—while prioritizing safety and facial proportions.

Why Have Jaw Surgery at Clínica Birbe?

The jaw defines the lower third of the face. Designing it surgically requires 3D planning and a thorough understanding of anatomy.
• Virtual planning using CBCT to design the new mandibular contour prior to surgery.
• Reduction, augmentation, or repositioning techniques tailored to the aesthetic goal.
• Intraoral access in most cases, avoiding visible scars.
• Surgery guided by 3D-printed guides when millimeter-level precision is required.
• Coordination with orthodontics if the mandibuloplasty is combined with orthognathic surgery.
