Jaw Reduction Simulator
See the width of your jaw angle rendered on your own face. One photo, one render — before you sit in a consultation room deciding from a verbal description.
What a jaw reduction actually does
Surgical narrowing of the lower face by removing bone at the mandibular angle, sometimes with the outer cortex shaved. It is a substantially larger undertaking than muscle treatment and is done through incisions inside the mouth.
Which measurement points to a jaw reduction
The square face shape page and the triangle page both turn on jaw width against the other two widths. This is the procedure that changes the bone rather than the muscle over it.
How long a jaw reduction lasts, and what it costs
How long it lasts
Permanent.
Typical cost
Widely variable; commonly quoted from around $8,000 upward in the United States and substantially less where it is performed most often.
These are ranges commonly quoted in the United States, collected for orientation. They are not a quote and not a recommendation — price varies with surgeon, city, technique and what else is done at the same time, and the cheapest option in a medical procedure is rarely the relevant number.
What people get wrong about a jaw reduction
That a wide jaw means bone. Often it is the masseter muscle, which is treated with an injection rather than an operation. Confirming which one is the single most consequential step in this decision.
How to read jaw reduction before and after photos
Look for front views at six months or later. Swelling in this area is prolonged and early photographs understate the eventual narrowing in one direction and overstate it in the other.
Jaw Reduction recovery — what is typically reported
Substantial swelling for several weeks, a restricted diet early, and numbness that resolves slowly. Surgeons quote months to a settled result.
Recovery varies with technique, extent and the individual. This is a summary of what is commonly reported, not what will happen to you, and your surgeon's figures are the ones that apply.
Three questions to ask before a jaw reduction
A render is most useful as something to take into a consultation. These are the questions specific to this procedure that are worth asking while you are there.
- 1Have we confirmed the width is bone rather than muscle, and how?
- 2What is the nerve injury rate in your practice?
- 3What does the outer cortex shaving add over angle reduction alone?
What this jaw reduction simulation cannot show
The render narrows the lower face in a photograph. It cannot tell you whether your width is bone or masseter muscle — and if it is muscle, a far smaller intervention applies.
Alternatives to a jaw reduction
How the jaw reduction simulation works
Your photo is analysed for the landmarks that matter to this procedure, and the render changes the width of your jaw angle while leaving the rest of your face alone. That constraint is the hard part — a generic image model will happily redraw your whole face and hand you a stranger who looks better.
What a simulation is, and what it is not
It is an illustration of a plausible direction. It is not a prediction of your result, not a medical opinion, and not a substitute for a consultation. Your anatomy, your surgeon's technique and how you heal decide the actual outcome, and none of those are visible in a photograph.
What it is genuinely good for: finding out whether you even want the change. A large share of people who render one discover the difference is smaller than they had been imagining, and stop there. That is a useful outcome.
Start from a measurement, not a guess
The free analysis tools measure symmetry, facial proportion and face shape, and tell you which measurements sit outside the reference range. Choosing a procedure from that is a much better starting point than choosing one from a photo you saved.
Jaw Reduction simulator — frequently asked questions
Do I need surgery or is toxin enough?
That depends entirely on whether the width is muscle or bone, which needs an examination and usually imaging. Toxin is the reversible test as well as a treatment.
What is the recovery like?
Swelling is significant and prolonged compared with soft-tissue procedures, and diet is restricted early on. Surgeons quote weeks before appearing normal and longer for the final result.
Is it reversible?
No. Bone has been removed.
Is the jaw reduction simulator free?
The face analysis is free and needs no account. A rendered simulation costs credits because it runs on a GPU — $4.99 buys five and does not require a subscription.
How accurate is an AI jaw reduction simulation?
It is an illustration of a plausible outcome, not a prediction of your result. Real outcomes depend on your anatomy, the surgeon and healing. Treat it as a conversation starter for a consultation, not a promise.
Do you keep my photo?
The free measurements never leave your browser. A simulation does send the photo to a rendering service, which is why it asks for explicit consent first, and you can delete the result from your dashboard at any time.
Can I show this to a surgeon?
Yes, and that is the most useful thing to do with it. Bringing a picture of the direction you want is far more precise than describing it in words.

This page is not medical advice and we are not clinicians. A simulation cannot tell you whether a procedure is appropriate for you, what it costs, or what the risks are. Those questions belong with a qualified surgeon.
